Joe, in the south we have a saying. “Bless you heart”, for all the work you’ve done.

"Not bad for an old girl...". Then nervous giggle try again. Starts and "Sigh". The look of relief!

I laughed more than I should have when you said “forgot the clingfilm again” 😂 you guys are so entertaining!

Dude. I said hi a month or so ago when I went past you & asked if your stove was working. Less is more. There more you put in the higher the maintenance time & it will drive you nuts. Boats are not like homes. Great work anyhow.

Ah, mental health nurse, I've had need to do business with them a couple times in my life. Am glad people are out there doing that, Keep on keeping on, as one saying says.

Kudos to you Joe for cutting a straight line with a circular saw !!!! I didn't notice if it was battery or electric!! Who cares, You and Danni are doing a fantastic job, I'm 68 yrs old and I wish I was right there along side helping!!!!!

Just a tip, always check coolant in the header tank ( and engine oil ) before starting your engine. Air locks are not conducive to good cooling. Best wishes over Christmas to you both 👍

Hi guys doing a great job and big pat on the back for having a go at it all. Couple of quick tips with HEP2O either use the HEP2O spray when pushing together or quick spit or lick. Otherwise you are pushing in against a dry rubber o-ring and they can fail. Also keep saying to yourself put in an insert, put in an insert, put in an insert. It is easy to get excited and forget. I have and it is a pain. Second one is HEP20 do manifolds mainly for use with Central Heating but where you are thinking about multiple tee joints use a manifold instead reduces number of connections. Use the HEP2O stop taps as they are full bore but only quarter of a turn to turn off great if you have to do any repairs. Also use one of the HEP2O ball valves at first from tank and another after the filter so you can just switch off that length to repair pumps, accumulators filters etc, also put small in line filter before pump. Going back a video or two the socket and 12v outlet in the bulkhead you ran 12v and 240v through the same hole. You shouldn’t do this and the 12v needs to be in conduit if you are running adjacent to 240v ac voltage. Worth buying yourself a copy of the ISO regs for small craft or borrowing a copy. ISO 10133 for DC and 13297 for AC.

This video is worth a thousand words. Beauty is power; the incredible shots is its sword. This place looks amazing.

I think the word you are searching to find for the attachment on your Dads new (to him) piece of kit is spindle moulder, please please if using take extra care , many carpenters/joiners dating back to my apprenticeship (late 50,s early 60,s) had lost finger tips one these most deadly machines in the joinery industry, a hand held router is safer on the hands ! Please take care and a word to you Dad some of the joinery in the vid clip looks fantastic obviously a man craftsman. Congratulation on your work to-date keep it up. Happy Holidays and thanks to you both for allowing us to follow your adventure

My goodness you two...you've worked so hard to get your boat up and ready to live in. Best wishes to you.

I would agree it’s great to see both your dedication to completing your boat, love both your ideas and flair for the project.

As always you never let us down Joe, great work on your home, you must be looking forward to finishing it now and enjoying your hard work and settling down to life on the water.

New to channel I like what I have seen so far. Human moisture will cause mold and water under your mattress. To help eleviate this it's best to have slats crossing the bed to allow moisture to escape. Keep safe warm dry and virus free.

Ah a mental health nurse,nice one Dannie🙏🙏🙏iv seen a few over many years myself,more use to me than my doctor's to be honest.Nice work guys your getting there

Well done you two, looking forward to seeing it completed, 😁👍

Hi Guys, love watching your vlogs. You must sometimes wonder if you're ever going to get it done. You two are doing so well & when you're finished you can be so proud of yourselves and enjoy all your hard work. Xx

Good work this week. It’s all very interesting to see how it comes together.The oak is going to look fantastic.

Hi to you both, wishing you every happiness for Christmas and the new year. Take care and take time out, it’s a marathon not a sprint and those jobs will be easier to do after a proper break. A big hug from your RU-vid friends. X

Howdy Danni & Joe. Some more progress and the fit out is taking a rather cosy look. Love the Way you go about the work. I have never had the chance to pilot a narrow boat and would think solo would be very difficult. Enjoy Keith.

Great work shop. Thanks for family help!!

Also, make a layout drawing of all the piping/electrics first before starting.

Me watching you put pieces of tape on the paint… “Mix the paint!” Lol Love the channel guys! And love that orange color!!!! 💜

All the little snagging bites will seem longer than the hole build looking Awesome Danny and joe ☺👍

Think the name you were looking for is spindle molder. The oak is going to look beautiful around the fireplace. Thanks for the video

Nice one Danny it’s coming on well now right tools for the right job make life better 🙂✌️

great to watch this Joe, and your approach, we're at the point fitting a boat may be more realistic than buying as complete as we'd like..... maybe... Well done so far you two

Use colour insulation tape for hot and cold ie red & blue makes it easier to keep track on pipes for future reference

I suggest you put the water filter /strainer before the pump to protect the pump impellor....plus less likelyhood to leak at lower pressure

Merry Christmas to both of you. I'm always amazed by the quality of the work you are doing. Look forward to more during 2022.

Hiya . A head torch and some of them Makita / De Walt cordless LED lights are gonna make you're life so much easier during and even after the build. Good luck

Don’t you just love those days. Nothing seems to go right.

Nice video and hope you both have a Merry Christmas

Hi Danni and Joe. Great vlog - progress every week and the change in the boat is amazing. Thanks again for sharing on top of all the work you both put in. Have a great Christmas and all our best wishes for yourselves and the boat in 2022. Take care. George and Trish - The CaravanningMacs

walked past your boat today whilst out scouting for a mooring when I move in a couple of days time. Pretty busy down that stretch. I may just go on towards Avoncliff!

Nice work! Have a Happy Christmas you clever little sausages!

Have you thought about a wind generator? Looking great!

Regarding the gaps in your floorboards, what do you think about cork strips. You could buy cork tiles and cut the strips with a Stanley knife to the required gaps as, I’m sure they will differ slightly. Also, they will cushion any swelling of the boards and are easy to clean. Might be a rubbish idea, just thought I’d suggest it.

Hi Danny,I guess jo is at work ,did you find out why you overheated 🥵 was it just a air look ,at least the gearbox is ok ,you are doing a excellent job,Hi jo hope you caught up on your sleep good idea going straight to the boat to rest then get awoken by Danny making noise lol great blog till next time take care keep safe, John 🎄🎅🏻🔥🔥🌹🌹🤩💐💐🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Get yourself a headlamp. Makes lire a lot easier.

I still love the crisp whiteness of the bathroom

Jeez, what stretch of canal is that? that does look like bloody hard work having to keep jumping over those verges!!

good vid on the cut boat come on well keep up the good vid on the channel thanks lee

Thanks as ever for another informative Vlog. Seeing you fitting the water filter reminded me of my time as a submariner in the Royal Navy. Hopefully your boat will never go to 'Diving Stations' :-)

Merry Christmas y’all Happy New Year God Bless from S C

hi, great to see that you're on the move - where did you get that bed lift hinge? I need one for nb STRONGHOLD!

Hi peeps. I've been watching your videos with much admiration. It's a big project. Just a couple of questions. I like your cooker, is it lpg? And the fridge is it 12v? If not how you going run it when your cruising? I've decided to have no 240 appliances except a battery charger. Sticking with 12v only.

"It's only the undercoat" My friend.... The top coat is only as good as the undercoat. As for the wood along the sides of the ceiling. How about a bit of fancy trim?

Sick off all the adds

Put a plastic bag over your paint rollar tray. It will keep it clean and you just have to pull it off and thow away the paint.

Take the corner off with electric planer

May be a bit of a fluke with the firedoor and tool handle styling theme, but hey, happy flukes will be happily accepted!

Do you stir your paint because I’ve never seen you do it?

Do you have to pre heat the engine ??

👍👌🇨🇦❤️
