Oh dear. I'm killing myself laughing because I can understand a Yorkshire accent (well, mostly), but I left CC on, and it can't figure out what is being said. Unintended hilarity, which I'm sure you will appreciate. I'm sure some people will wonder why you put so much effort into a temporary fitting, but it comes down to what my Scottish ancestors would call being "thrifty" (emphatically not "cheap"), which is completely consistent with being a "tight Yorkshireman"--a very respectable world view, I'd say. You may call it "winging it," but I really appreciate the skill behind it.
Your channel his just what u need showing how's to do the little jobs. I'm looking for my first narrowboat a project but not to big a project. Great Channel you both are very funny cannot stop laughing NO BACON SANDWICH FOR YOU MATEY. BUT I'VE GOT ONE 🥓🤣
In my opinion, the best way to cut a chimney flue hole is with a jigsaw. Only takes 10 mins, take it nice n slow, no mess, perfect hole. 100% agree with having the stove amidships!
It’s just how it worked out that where the log burner could go was by the window. The chimney is far enough away so it still lets the light in and the window won’t get hot enough to be a problem.
Oh I can’t tell you how much you’ve both been missed….so great to have you back. Loving the work, I always learn something from you shame I don’t have a narrow boat, only a Motor Home.
Love it when you do jobs on the boat ,and can't wait to see what you get up too on your adventutes.will have to pop over for one of dawns bacon sarnies,keep up the great vids
The flue is far enough away to still let the light through and not close enough to give enough heat transfer to case an issue. And that was the perfect spot for it to go to get the best layout within the boat.
We had a set of bolts supplied with our solar kit, and needed to tap the threads, a quick and easy tip when drilling steel is buy a can of cutting fluid. Very useful ona steel boat
So did u guys ensure there is the extra spacing on the wall plus fire safety board installed /around the porthole & under the heater, to ensure fire safety regulations are being adhered to? Cause one cant just move the heater like that, as the boat wont pass its safety certificate. You risk a fire on the boat as the walls arent properly heat treated
As you’ll see on the next video (next Thursday at 3pm) the fire safety boarding etc gets installed. Rest assured the safety of the boat (and us) is paramount.

...and the fun begins on the "not a project" narrowboat!
It's so good to see you both again, you've been missed!
Thankyou. We’ve been working on the ‘not a project’ boat again today!!! 😂
Nice job Peter, don't skimp on the bacon
Never skimp on the bacon! 🥓

I might have to watch with the CC on and see what it’s like!
Thankyou for the nice words about the work we are doing. 😃
Glad you're back!
Thank you! 🤩

Jigsaw was the other option… but didn’t have any metal cutting blades with me.
Glad to see you filming again! Curious why you would put the chimney in front of that porthole window ?

Thanks so much, great to hear we were missed. Maybe one day you might get a narrowboat...
Love it Love it Love it 😄😄👍🔩🛠️🔧🪛

Next weeks video is more work finishing off the log burner install... I'm sure Dawn would be happy do you a bacon sarnie!
Great job, but who filled the hole in where the collar came from. 👍
At the moment we haven't removed the old collar... just sealed the section of steel we cut out the roof over the top of it. (for now).
Really enjoyed it 😂
That’s good! 👍
Good job
Thank you!
Near the porthole ?
The flue is far enough away to still let the light through and not close enough to give enough heat transfer to case an issue. And that was the perfect spot for it to go to get the best layout within the boat.
I found my new favorite adhesive (mainly due to it's name) Sticks like Sh*t 🤣
It is good stuff...
Best to use coach bolts for for the collar. I used them self tappers for my solar panels last year. Quite a few of them have snapped.
Cheers - will bear that in mind when I re fit it after painting the roof.

@BellaTrix0707 - Dawn and Peter are definitely not newbies - this is their third narrowboat, and they completely rebuilt the first two.
She a good Gennie when you need tea.
Sure is! 😃
