Hi Beeca, Chris.Wow! What an episode. The first 2 minutes are full of audio effects which is amazing, and must have took Chris ages to sync everything up. Then we had an amazing "Cooking Breakfast" sequence. You're videos are just amazing, production and creativity are the best, again it must have taken you both ages, and it's very much appreciated. Becca's floor is now looking spot on. Becca always comes up with an idea and today the floor solution worked. Sink tops are perfection. Well done both of you. Thank you. Take Care.
thanks again for your lovely words, and noticing, yes it takes really long , I do like to try and put out the best possible video, glad it comes across well, Becca has truly done an amazing job in the kitchen ...just wait until you see what she's done with the hatch take care
Let Chris sit on it while Bex drills up from above. What could go wrong? Just imagine describing to Emergency Services that you just attached Chris to the top of the work surface! 🤣
@@TheNomadicCrobot, There is very little that would surprise me. Screwing some one's bottom into a work top....pretty mild stuff. I used to be a letter carrier, and the things I saw--I have a pretty good imagination, but nothing near what I would need to invent the stories I could tell....😂
The floor is beautiful Bex in spite having a crazy helper. We think you (Becca) should wood~burn your signature into the kitchen counter, after all YOU are the one who designed and have made it come to life. It's a work of art. Not to leave Chris out in the cold he does make a good brekkie, even though a bit scorched around the edges, but he's learning. Be good to yourselves ~ until next time Hugs & Love ~ Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾🇺🇸
Aww thank you so much 🥰 that's really made my day. Maybe il leave a little signature somewhere ❤️ Its just so nice to see a vision come to life, especially when you embark on it not really knowing what you're doing or if you can really turn it into what you can see in your imagination! He does make a mean brekkie! Thanks so much, sending lots of love and hugs right back at you guys xx
It’s getting there!!!! You know I’ve been renovating the family house for the last seven years and I’m now trying to move in. I realized many mistakes I made, but it’s what it is. This is why I applaud y’all for doing everything yourselves. Great job!!!!
Thanks so much Shoan. You definitely do live and learn, its the best way as well. Glad to hear your moving in now after your hard work though, that's great news. Thanks so much. See you next time ☺️
Not all super heroes wear a cape !!! Well done Becca! You too chris! Team work makes the dream work old beans and you two working together is working. So Chris stop being hard on your self ! Your learning while watching and doing! Probably like Becca did. Can’t wait for the next crobboting instalment ! Hurry up and get it up ! Love you guys ! See you on the next one ! Xx
Aww thanks so much Mandy. You always leave such lovely and uplifting comments. They are much appreciated 🥰 Yeah exactly, you learn a lot just through observation. It won't be long, we promise. See you next time xxx
Hey guys the floor is really looking good it's going to be awesome once it is finished. Please Chris don't stop doing the glove thing as we will all miss the brilliant sound effects. Anyway guys I hope to see the floor all finished and as always I can't wait to see the next episode. 😋
Thanks Stewart...the gloves will be back don't you worry.. Its only so long I can hold back from them. Bex has really done amazing with thr floor we'd very lost without her touch
There are at least two very important things that's obvious for us, your viewers. One of them is that you seems to like to work together, despite all mishaps here and there. The other thing, not the least, is that all the time you are positive! I love it! Hug, and thank you!
I can verify it was really tasty! I'm sorry to have missed you but Chris was stoked to have had a bit of a chat with you. So sorry we were dashing off! Next time you must come in for a cuppa! ☺️
@The Nomadic Crobot Thank you Beccs 😊 It was fab to catch Chris, and no worries as I was on my way to see family too! But I'll definitely call by next time I'm over your way. That's if you haven't set sail by then! Take care both of you.
Thank you for sharing! A few people have now mentioned this so il perhaps adopt this tactic when I carry on with the rest of the flooring. Although I have to say after the first few iffy nails I got into a good rhythm with them and they weren't problematic after that. Chris felt a bit differently mind!!! 😂
Well done over coming the problems with the floor. Don’t feel too bad about those bending nails Chris .It usually happens if the timber your hammering into , is not on a solid base.Any bounce in the timber will result in a bent nail. You need to press down on the board as hard as you can , to stop any bounce while your hammering .😊
Oh that is so interesting. Thanks so much for sharing that. Those nails were a bit too long too which didn't help things. We had some a bit too short and some a bit too long!!! 😂
I love watching your vlogs, the ingenuity you both show is masterful 😊 The worktops look fabulous and the recycled flooring is pure genius with your tongue and groove manipulation 😉👌
Thanks Jonathan, such lovely comments 🥰 It's such an important part of the whole thing for me to try and reuse and restore materials as best and as much as I can. Poor Chris gets dragged into my crazy ideas!! Tongue and groove manipulation!!! Brilliant!! 😂
Great idea around the countertop Bex. Looks really nice. Looks like you've figures out the floor too. Go easy on the back. Best wishes for ya both, Deb
It is obvious, Becca is the carpenter in this family. She should have worked on the hatches too. Nice work on the countertop with the scaffolding boards.
That looks great I’m so super impressed, took a bit to get there but such a great job. Loving watching this come so beautifully together. See you soon guys and take care. 💕
As usual, you guys never fail to entertain us all. The floors coming along great and so is the rest of the kitchen. Love all the wood. Looking forward to the next one guys. 👍
Thank you! Yeah it's looking very akin to a wood cabin in there at the moment but when we get some paint on it will blend everything together I hope. See you on the next one ☺️
🤣😂 Now would the fire service behable to carry Chris out of his bottom was attached to worktop. That would have been a blast 😭🤣 Whatever happens Becca works it out. Chris your forte is head chef, you did a super breakfast. ❤
If you keep the dust form sanding the floors you can mix it with PVA or resin and use it to fill any gaps, it will also take any stain you may use. Also agree with what others have said and drill a pilot hole B4 nailing.
Oh wow, great tip thank you. I shall do that. Also I now know about the pre drilling which may well help me in the future with the rest of the flooring. Thanks so much for sharing 😊
@@TheNomadicCrobot I would also be tempted not to fix the boards to the subfloor, and just leave it as a "floating" floor, glue and clamp the boards together, gluing all along the tongue and groove, and clamp using the flooring straps you already have. If you glue properly, and ensure you have enough overlap of the boards, It will never move. However I have never fitted a floor in a boat but lots in houses, so someone may advise against this.
Fantastic editing again! Really funny too, all those effects. The floor.........ai. Try and lay it without tension, specialy on a boat. Difficault job, and i'm sure it will come out just fine. And a seem here or there, well, i think thats realy not that big of a problem. Iff you hit a sidebank with the boat, it will happen anyway. A boat moves, outside but also inside!
Great problem solving, and the floor is looking good. @CaniceBannon on his Dutch Barge mentioned you last night on his recent vlog. He had a water problem on his Narrowboat Jorga, used a Titan, and said to “check out the Crobots Channel, they’re very funny”! ❤ it. Can’t wait to see the finished floor and the hatch. 😊🤗 Kathy
the floor is really getting there, im sure Bex will make it look amazing by the end, oh awesome thats nice I will have to take a look into his channel, a dutch barge woaw...something id love to move up too, take care
The breakfast looked fab... I am hungry now..sitting in bed... open a floating cafe....we have an air nail gun....fast and accurate but not sure if Mr rustbot could be allowed to touch it !!...
Another great Vlog. 😂 Another observation, as you are gluing the boards down, you only need a small pin as a secondary fixing. The nails you are using are way too long for the job in hand. Make it easy for yourselves, especially when nailing old ply board flooring. Best of luck, you certainly are an inspiration to loads of people out here. Have you got “Buy me a coffee” attached to your Vlog?
Aww thank you! Yeah we had two different packets of nails, some that seemed a little too short and the others were too long!! They didn't have an in-between size at b&q! We eventually managed to get the short ones working well though like you say just as a secondary fix. Aww thanks so much. We live and learn and just try to stay positive with it! We don't as of yet but thank you for thinking of us 🥰
Hi again Chris & Becks. Dave and Diane on tickertyboo. Another hilarious video both. I know you have probably done the floor now. Bit if you drilled a 1 mm hole in the tongue first. Your nails would have gone in a lot better. And would have pulled the floor down much more. If you want advice on anything wood? Message me. I was a boat builder for fifty years. We are out cruising again. Presently moored up between the locks a Braunston. Hope we meet you out there again soon. I wanna buy you both a drink. For keeping us laughing. Love Dave & Diane. Narrow boat Tickertyboo xx
Hi guys, lovely to hear from you again. I hope you are both keeping well? Thank you! Oh wow no I hadn't thought of that. If only I had known! Although I got into quite a good rhythm with the nails only the odd tricky one. Chris bless him wasn't quite so lucky! 😂 He's an excellent glue dispenser though!!! Oh wow thank you so much, that's such a kind offer and I'm sure il have lots of questions to come in the future! Oh wow, that sounds great. I hope you're having a lovely time out there. Yes definitely, it would be lovely to catch you guys for a drink some time! Haha! Glad to share the laughs! Take care guys! Lots of love Becks and Chris xx
Hi guys, so jealous of your travels, I'm sure will catch up very soon, aww Bless you if your ever on the area pop by for a cuppa. Hope your adventures are going well,safe travels ,the crobots xxx
My Old mum always told us ... "If you eat the stalks of mushrooms ... They start growing out of the TOP of your HEAD!!" .... You've been WARNED!! ....... And Chris!! ... I hope Becks hasn't seen the bit where you virtually 'mutilated' that board outside - or the next video might be a 'One-Girl' Vlog where She needs to rent a 'Freezer Facility' 🥴😄
so thats what that strange growth is on my head haha I try and keep these vlogs as secret from Becca as possible...she doesn't even know they exist...I just tell her were filming for fun
There is a better solution to nailing tongue and groove, using screws. Thinnish screws and making sure they are pushed home not to stop the tongue and groove from connecting. Also, if you get a wonky board, get a piece of wood at right angles and whack it with a hammer rubber of metal. This normally does the job. Nail guns are ideal for flooring as well but expensive. Edit. Tongue and groove is notorious for not quite fitting together, and there is a device pro's use that also gets around the problem.
Oh wow! If only we had known. I just went with nails as that's how they had originally been secured down and it seemed to make sense! Thanks for all your useful thoughts. Glad it's not just us!!
If you image doing this in a room and you get to the last board but one before a wall, you need to shoe horn/force the tongues home into the groove, very common issue. There is a simple mechanical device that let's you do this, otherwise you'd get a wonky floor. Hope that makes sense.
Floor's starting to look good. Typically that sort of floor would be fixed to itself, eg you could just glue the edges to each other, leave the whole thing floating over the substrate. That way you should avoid problems with expansion and contraction of the different materials. I wonder if the nailing throws things out a bit.
Thanks for this. I just hope over time we don't encounter problems... I chose to do it this way simply because when we lifted this floor the first time, that was how it had been secured so I presumed it was the correct way to do it. I have left space for expansion around the edges so with any luck it will be ok 🤞
Your making your own disasters. Firstly you should only be using pins to tack the boards to stop movement not whacking long nails. The result is simply that the nails will bend. PS you are nailing in the right places, well done.
Ahh ok thanks Raymond. I opted for nails simply because that's how these boards had been originally secured down so I presumed that was the correct thing to do. In fairness after the first few bodgey nails we got on ok with them! Phew!
the nails are too long or you can drill through the groove board first, by the way, Chris you are horrible with hand tools I meant it in a funny way. you guys rock keep making those great content
I think part of the problem is we had some nails which seemed a little too short and others that were too long so the ones you saw bending were the too long ones!! B&q let us down on nail length 😂 Haha! He gives it a good old go though! Thank you!
Sorry Bexs but Humphrey is quite possibly the scariest thing I have ever seen. For the love of sweet baby Jesus someone pass me my shotgun and a full box of cartridges. And a wood chipper. And a can of petrol and a match. And a shovel. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hahahaha!! Oh no! Are you not a fan of sloths or just overly weird sized things!? 😂😂😂 I tell you what though, he has been a dream for my back whilst it's been so sore ☺️ You sure you don't wanna borrow him to try overcome the fear!? 😂
you do a lot of tossing in your videos, sorry guys it so painful to watch you guys on the flooring some advice drill a small pilot hole in the tongue to make nailing much easier and stops wood splitting, I would have gladly come to you and done the floor for free would have taken about 3 hours max but you are there and I am here Bulgaria time served carpeter & joiner with 30 years under my belt, it's crazy you guys are moared up near where I used to live before leaving the UK many years ago old youtube name (keltic nomad)
Haha!! Very true!!! Thanks for the advise, I guess we all have to start somewhere!!! Sorry it's so painful to watch!! Yes someone else has said this too. I didn't realise that was the technique to use. I did manage to get into a good rhythm with the nailing and so didn't end up having too many problems after the first few goes, but Chris bless him struggled a bit. Luckily he is an excellent glue spreader! Il definitely remember your tips for the future thank you. Oh wow so I guess you'll recognize the surroundings then! Sending good wishes over to you in Bulgaria ✌️
We had two packs of nails one that initially seemed a bit too short and the other a bit too long! B&Q had no other option! Fortunately I managed to get into a good rhythm with the shorter nails in the end. Poor Chris struggled a bit so resumed his excellent gluing service for me!!

shes roughness 😀
You are doing well. I wonder if all old files have a bend at the pointy end? My dad's ones do.
Thank you! Yeah I wondered about the bendy bit too! Perhaps it serves some kind of purpose!
Have you allowed an expansion gap where the floor abuts the units? the usual practice is to a thin strip of cork along all of the edges.
Fortunately I have. I just hope I have left enough! Thanks for the tip though, I didn't know about the cork thing ☺️

Oh right yeah that makes perfect sense! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Floor's starting to look good. Typically that sort of floor would be fixed to itself, eg you could just glue the edges to each other, leave the whole thing floating over the substrate. That way you should avoid problems with expansion and contraction of the different materials. I wonder if the nailing throws things out a bit.
Thanks for this. I just hope over time we don't encounter problems... I chose to do it this way simply because when we lifted this floor the first time, that was how it had been secured so I presumed it was the correct way to do it. I have left space for expansion around the edges so with any luck it will be ok 🤞

Thanks for commenting something
Hopefully that is not the only banging on the boat😉😉lol
😂😂😂
Your making your own disasters. Firstly you should only be using pins to tack the boards to stop movement not whacking long nails. The result is simply that the nails will bend. PS you are nailing in the right places, well done.
Ahh ok thanks Raymond. I opted for nails simply because that's how these boards had been originally secured down so I presumed that was the correct thing to do. In fairness after the first few bodgey nails we got on ok with them! Phew!
anyone got any Veras? Love it!
Hahaha! Why aye pet! 😂
Is Humphrey a ferret?
He's a sloth! 🥰
12 volt sleep apnea machine the exstreamly quite and climb back in bed with Beck good vlog........ we the north ......S
that sounds like a great plan
the nails are too long or you can drill through the groove board first, by the way, Chris you are horrible with hand tools I meant it in a funny way. you guys rock keep making those great content
I think part of the problem is we had some nails which seemed a little too short and others that were too long so the ones you saw bending were the too long ones!! B&q let us down on nail length 😂 Haha! He gives it a good old go though! Thank you!
Nothing wrong with 'Humphrey'. I have a 'Teddy'.
Aren't they AMAZING! Has been a blessing whilst my backs been so bad!
@@TheNomadicCrobot me too. Teddy's been with me for over 14 years. New insides, but, still the same old Teddy outside xxx
Aww that's so lovely xxx
alo Vera.
Beccas new hero
Rebecca what is he actually good for? Haha
Breakfast!!! And many other things, especially editing! ☺️
@@TheNomadicCrobot haha 👍
Sorry Bexs but Humphrey is quite possibly the scariest thing I have ever seen. For the love of sweet baby Jesus someone pass me my shotgun and a full box of cartridges. And a wood chipper. And a can of petrol and a match.
And a shovel.
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hahahaha!! Oh no! Are you not a fan of sloths or just overly weird sized things!? 😂😂😂 I tell you what though, he has been a dream for my back whilst it's been so sore ☺️ You sure you don't wanna borrow him to try overcome the fear!? 😂
@@TheNomadicCrobot Sorry did I say Humphrey? I meant Chris 😉
you do a lot of tossing in your videos, sorry guys it so painful to watch you guys on the flooring some advice drill a small pilot hole in the tongue to make nailing much easier and stops wood splitting, I would have gladly come to you and done the floor for free would have taken about 3 hours max but you are there and I am here Bulgaria time served carpeter & joiner with 30 years under my belt, it's crazy you guys are moared up near where I used to live before leaving the UK many years ago old youtube name (keltic nomad)
Haha!! Very true!!! Thanks for the advise, I guess we all have to start somewhere!!! Sorry it's so painful to watch!! Yes someone else has said this too. I didn't realise that was the technique to use. I did manage to get into a good rhythm with the nailing and so didn't end up having too many problems after the first few goes, but Chris bless him struggled a bit. Luckily he is an excellent glue spreader! Il definitely remember your tips for the future thank you. Oh wow so I guess you'll recognize the surroundings then! Sending good wishes over to you in Bulgaria ✌️
Why Are you using such long nails?
We had two packs of nails one that initially seemed a bit too short and the other a bit too long! B&Q had no other option! Fortunately I managed to get into a good rhythm with the shorter nails in the end. Poor Chris struggled a bit so resumed his excellent gluing service for me!!
Humphrey,
yayyy
Is titan a TITAN TTB774
Yeah that's the one I think. Would highly recommend 😉
Warped Wood, I would be more worried about warped cris
Well this is very true!
Great as always just don’t google glove worship 😂
Ha!! Thanks for the tip!!! 😂
