Ahoy there, my name is Beth and in 2020 I bought my Dutch barge Hoop Op Welvaart as my home and moved on board with my little dog Bertie. In early 2021 I started work and this is my story of renovating my 1904 Dutch sailing barge and of life on board.

Bit beyond me but very impressed as always. Hi to Bertie. Its so great to see it all coming together
Wow amazing sights!
Beth, is your t-shirt in inside out? ;-)
Well spotted!! It actually has a logo on that I don't like so I turned it inside out and used it for dirty work. 😁
@@TillerQueen done it myself! 😉
Great vid Beth , things are really coming together .
An access panel to access an access panel 🤣
Can't have too much access! 😁
The smell of that paint came flooding back!
Thankfully it had gone by the time I got back! It's gross though.
Will the rust keep coming back? Looking forward to seeing the boat finished so I’ll have to be patient and I know you can’t wait either. 👋🏼
The rust shouldn't come back with the extra coat of paint on, no. It was so rusty so it's great to have it clean now. Yes, looking forward to the finish and chipping away!
Great video with some great explanations of what you are doing. So very sorry to hear about your Gran. Have a great day 🍷
Well done with the ongoing jobs. Thank you.
Top job as usual, Beth. Safe travels
Sorry for the loss of your Nan ❤ It's so great to see you working on the boat again. But as I remember from my own life before I retired, -there are always things to be done, appointments and every day life really. Impressed with what you manage do when you have a tight schedule. As always, great fun to watch your vlog. Have a great week.
Good work on the ply, and thank you for including us in your thought processes on all the intricacies of the wires, the switchplates, window heads etc. All us armchair DIYers often forget about all the thought and pre-work that has to take place before anything is fitted. I know you call it rambling (and, okay, it is sometimes!) but it has real value to us out here in youtube land. 3 yrs ago I bought my barge fully fitted as I had reached an age where I didn't think taking on a refit was sensible. So I enjoy your work vicariously from my saloon on the Canal du Midi! Keep it up Beth, and sorry about your Gran. As you said, at 100 it was her time.
Hi Beth, great workwomanship on the ply you're doing, very impressed how you did your window cut outs, not easy to do, I noticed the big supply of ply you have god thatis a lot of money ply is so expensive, the self tapping screws are great aren't they, looking forward to your next one. Love the outtakes, I hope your grandma lies in peace, she will be with the angels now looking over you.🙂
Ah! Love the Ommelander Flag at 17:00. Great to enjoy your vlogs again!
Sorry to hear about your Grand mum.. Hugs! Thank you for the video.
My sincere condolences to you and your family Beth xx
Sorry about your grandma. What a cool lady she must’ve been. Good to have you back as always. The barge is really coming along great! Hahahahahaha! The out takes😅
Great to have you back. My condolences to you and the family and friends of your grandmother. What a wonderful life of 100 years.
Take my hat off to you for all the hard work you are putting in. Sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for sharing.
What are you trying to say? Bloopers are the best. It's good to chuckle. Sad news about Nan, but no complaints, she lived long and well by the sounds of it 🙏
She definitely did, thanks.
Good to see you back again.
Keep chipping away!🙂
Welcome back
I have caught up now great videos I will keep following Beth xx🤠👍
Hi Beth trying to get a 1904 floor was not easy as I found out working on my 1992 campervan but just use the some dynamite 🧨 lol good x Paul
Hi Beth I’m just catching up on you great video on your 1904 barge x🤠😋🍺👍🐝
Lovely trip even though I thought there was going to be a couple of bumps
The sign writing looked great. I bet the people who offered 'advice' have never tried anything like that. Laura x
Great seeing the footage going up to the yard. I noticed a couple of buoys near the Brentford Ait. Are they demarking the lanes or just where its its the deepest part of the channel because of how much it changes with the tide?
The red can is the port marker (when you're going upstream) and denotes the edge of the navigable channel so you should keep to starboard of it when going up river and to port when going down river. On the other side there are green cones which are the other side of the navigable channel. So as long as you stay between those you have enough water.
The Thames looks so serene there. Beautiful!
Nice to see you up and running again looking forward to seeing more progress on your boat, hope it continues to go well. I hope your bank balance isn't getting hit to hard mine was slaughtered. 😢
At the moment my bank is almost empty, which is one of the reasons for a pause in work, although I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Very nice up the river run. Thanks for that!
The River looks lovely, I have a dream to cruise on the upper reaches one day. Take care.
Thanks for the update. Good luck getting the work done this week and great to see you back 🍷
Thanks for the update.
Thanks for sharing this video, much appreciated. Have a great weekend you two. 🙂🐿🌈❤️
So glad to see you are back we have missed you
Just really pleased you are back. This video was a nice teaser. Have a great week.
Welcome Back! Look forward to following your progress
Most excellent! It was good to see the notification that you put up a new vlog! Take care of yourself and Bertie!
Looking forward to seeing more renovations
Really enjoy watching the footage of the boat moving 😊
Nice to see you back! 😊
Good to be back! Had a good break after burning out slightly but I still love the boat so that's good! 😁
Hope you're fully rested and ready to get that barge ship shape. ❤❤
Well I'm definitely ready to get the barge ship-shape, for sure! 😁
It is lovely to see you back and looking well.
Little victories add up.🙂
