Great Bed Frame Storage & Stud Walls | Webasto Install (Sort Of) | Narrowboat Conversion | BOATLIFE 

Thank you haha.

Thanks Cliff!

Thank you! Oh wow we’ve not tackled wallpaper, that really is a test! 😂

Thank you, yes got a grate on order, have left the ash to build up in the bottom at the moment to minimise the problem & fire bricks ready to go in

😂😂 thank you!

Thank you! Yeah these struts do work OK with the mattress but may upgrade to maybe 350-400n struts in the future though (they’re 300n at the moment and it closes a little too easy

Aw good! It's such a big amount of space

Thank you! Yeah we bought one as soon as we lit the burner

Ahh what a memory! My dads always said it but usually after he’d forgotten and cut it wrong! 😂

Haha I agree! Thank you, nice to see progress.

Thanks Keith yes will look into beefing it up due to the span

That's three of us she's looking great inside Marty Australia

Me 4 :)

Thanks for watching!

@@ItsOhJoe thanks for replying, it amazes me how many that don't ;) But then again with say 1k sub's it's would be a full time job :) Take care P. S how was the wine? I looked it up after that glowing reference :)

😂 Thank you!

Haha congratulations! Danni is the boss for sure.

Thank you!

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 🙂

Thank you yes we’ve got a small one on order will just need to chop it up a bit to fit it in!

Great tips cheers!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Aw congratulations, thanks for watching!

Thank for for supporting our channel!

Thank you! Yeah the end is almost in sight, well not quite but more in sight than it was about a month ago when it was still an empty base!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes a really good idea - someone we met in the marina had an extra bit of ply and essentially slid their mattress away from the wall which helped as well!

@@ItsOhJoe Glad you might be able to use this simple system. Just to add clarity to my suggestion… I was imagining for you… a drop leaf on to one side of the bed which when flipped up is secured by pivoting supports which disappear within the bed frame during the day. The leaf folds down and takes up no room safe for the thickness of the ply. The leaf can be affixed to the frame by using three to four ordinary hinges or ….if you wish a well priced piano hinge. Happy Holidays to you and yours Canada’s Eastern Seaboard 🎄🇨🇦

Thanks for watching!

Yes! Colours are going on the walls as we speak!

Thanks John!

Thank you!

Thank you!

We decided against using any as thought it would keep the heat out of the bathroom (from the fire) if that makes sense? Might’ve been the wrong call but we’ll live with it 😂

Yes and us! Cheers

Yes definitely!

Thank you!

Thank you!! 😊

It’s the locating bolts on the hinges themselves that’s the problem, will need to order some new struts to solve it unfortunately!

Thanks for watching! Uncle Garry has been a blessing for sure

Didn’t think of that! Will give it a go next time!

Thank you! We are really pleased with it.

Thanks so much! Just picked up different things along the way really, Joe’s dad is a builder so he learnt stuff from him. We converted a van a couple of years ago and learnt a lot then too!

@@ItsOhJoe Thanks so much for the info! I don't feel quite so bad about my inability to do this kind of thing knowing that Joe had a bit of a head start!

Thank you! Haha nope, wine is important.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks Gerry

Thanks John! The heater is a Webasto, we’ve fitted an Espar before so thought we’d give them a go this time. 😂😂

@@ItsOhJoe I used that type on my tug boat it was excellent.never no trouble only when I was out it a storm with 4 meters swell and got some water in the air intake,other wise great 👍

So it’s a small double, 120x190cm, height wise we built it up by about 6/700mm

Seen a few people doing this, does it work?

@@ItsOhJoe yes it does work, keeps down most of the condensation, cuts out a lot of noise and stops cold air coming in we had our 60x10 boat done which we live on. Take them out in summer and put back in autumn time would not be with out them

Haha good idea!

Thanks for watching!

Aw thank you!! It means a lot.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you so much 😀

You really can't draw air from inside the boat.

@@theotherstevesteve is there a reason why, as factory vw campers do.

@@theotherstevesteve Read the manual.

@@carlwilliams4705 the requirements of the boat license in the UK are thar these heaters must be room sealed.

@@johnglover9935 it doesn't take much at all to maintain a civil tone.

She's worth it! She's also the bread winner! 😂

Easy fix! Will try that next time

Thank you! You too!

Thanks!

Lol!

Ahh what a lovely project! So we went with (unconventionally) an air heater as that’s what we used in the van and it was really simple compared to a radiator system. In the van we used an Eberspacher D2 and the boat we used the Webasto Airtop 2000 (essentially the same just different brands). To install on a boat you’ll need a couple of different bits - copper fuel line (might have some of this left over that you’ll be welcome too if it’s any use), a hull exhaust outlet and some exhaust insulation. Then depending on how far you want the heat to travel you’ll need a decent roll of the ducting, we used a 10m coil as the interior of our boat is only 10m, plus any outlet fittings for venting off into separate rooms. If you pop us an email danniandjoetravel@gmail.com I’ll pop some links back to you for a shopping list if you like.

@@ItsOhJoe thank you been alot of work so far but lots of fun too. Can follow @driftwoodfolk RU-vid & Instagram ha. BTW appreciate your reply and congratulations. We hope you enjoyed your trip. Oh okay I was thinking the same things tbh. Yes we want to go Air heater as well as our log burner as we are limited on space. Really? That's much appreciated il drop you a line. Would be lovely to get some advice and chat. Many a time I have watched and rewatched your videos to understand things (sorry not sorry). That would be epic. No quite there yet as we are currently doing the ballast and redoing the floor but any help especially form you guys is greatly appreciated.

Hey! Thank you - they are from eBay, ottoman storage lift up bed hinge

Haha good one!

So traditionally they were constructed simply for carrying massive loads & no doubt were constantly running up and down the country fully loaded (even over loaded) - a fully fitted narrowboat now shouldn’t come anywhere near to a full load of coal for example. The main worry would be the draft or distance between the bottom of the boat and the bottom of the canal but that would vary between boat. Bit of a guessing game I’d assume!

Haha cheers!

Every day is a school day! Thought it was the how manly do you want your drill control 😂

Getting a bit of conflicting info on the air inlet, can see both sides of the argument. I guess less condensation vs more efficient.

Why are they dirty? I have one and they are fine, diesel stinks.

We are really loving the log burner, we had a diesel heater in our van and got on well so have the best of both worlds.

All from epidemic sound!

Thank you!

Getting there!

Ottoman bed hinges!

@@ItsOhJoe thank you for that much appreciated 🙏

We debated it but thought it would block any heat the fire gives off from entering the bathroom? Might’ve made the wrong decision but we’ll see 😂 there’s not much we haven’t heard in our relationship

Read the instructions as 0-45 degrees max, will have another look!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for all your support Jon!

Haha that would be cool!

Thank you!

Yes we avoided that crisis in the end thanks to some comments! Didn’t even think of the consequences. 😫
