    Thank god you got that floor done, what a bloody awful job but once again it looks good and ready to go. Personally I’d go light only for the reason if it screwed up I’d not want to take the dark off again. But yeah looking forward to seeing the end result. The heater area looks great but I told you that, what a relief that must have been. When we finally got our wood fire going when we lived in Tassie we ran around naked (inside, to cold outside) in the warm to celebrate LOL. This is just getting closer and closer to finished. I’m so happy for you. See you soon guys. 💕

      what a nightmare job but were back ready to start from fresh, I think the cold conditions didn't help, we are thinking of a possible lighter colour though we have a vision so maybe we will do a test piece first before going in full steam ahead. such a relief to finally have it all going, we cant wait to get cruising and start using this as our little off grid vessel take care Pauline and happy new year ❤️❤️

    Great video. Bet the second round will be great. Hope all is well with you have seen news of all the flooding you’re having in England so sad seeing so many people out of their homes and all the damage. Can only imagine the river close to you must be very high also. Hope you’re enjoying the new stove area looks wonderful. Stay warm and dry looking foward to seeing the new floor and what’s next.

      the flooding has been very chaotic, were about 5 meters away from alot of it but safe at the marina as long as it stays, luckily boats float so we have that in our advantage, but there are still quite a few safety measure you have to put in place, thanks for your comment

    Hi Becca, Chris, Really good to see the "Big Heavy Thing" again, and also the Titan making an appearence. What more could we ask for? I was well happy with the Dramatic music. The Floor is looking really good after all your hard work sanding it down again. I do feel for you both with that. Becca Has done an amazing job getting the stove finished. It looks great. I'm confuswed, I seem to have seen the stove (previously) all finished, together with the copper seal on the roof, or did I dream that? Great teamanship, and of course we have, as always Chri's Fantastic editing (such a joy to take it all in). Another great Vlog. Thank you. Happy New Year to you both. Spoolbox

  • @BellaTrix0707
    @BellaTrix0707 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Holy crap, you did it with the hand tools &didnt go with a commercial grade sander when you did the floor! I can understand why (I assume), it was cause this way you both got everything done nearly at the same time& for Xmas. Rather than wait for the stove& then do the floor. Wow guys, that was some work to get through! Be honest .. how often while changing the pads & belt sander papers, did you feel like quitting?! Ive been there, so I know its a bloody nightmare. Everything hurts &as each day progresses the only thing that keeps one going is the fact that one does see progress & one does seems to move forward. With me though its my back& carpal tunnel issues that tends to tell me where my daily limits are, so I hear yah loud and clear: this was more work than most will ever understand. Well done the both of you!! Now pls for the love of all gods, buy new stuff (oil or stain)- do not use the old stuff for your floors. But by now I will assume once more you're already done with the job. I totally understand that most ppl vote for a lighter floor but you guys have said from the get go, you have a vision of what you want the floor to look like. I think I sorta know, like a well loved old library floor - one sees in movies etc. Its a very eclectic type floor that when pulled off properly makes everything warm &cozy, and not at all dark or dingy how some have said. I hope it worked &looks smashing.
    Btw I dont think you guys got the short end of the stick every time. Just think how your YT channel has grown in leaps, and how much you two have gotten closer through it all. I mean a couple who gets through that, can pretty much face anything &remain together. So you both obviously picked well. Plus it is never good or helpful to only look at what isnt or what one doesnt have. You both will have your absolute dream boat that is more you than any other place will ever be. You can touch any part of this boat and tell a story of triumph. How many ppl can say that?! And yes, I understand financially its prob been beyond trying - but even that will sort itself out.
    Now that you guys are done with the living room, there cant be all that many jobs left before you cut the chain from the Marina &escape? I assume you prob will wait til early Spring, doing some test runs whenever the weather allows it til then, to ensure Batteries and systems are all good to go. Maybe a blacking? And then it be go time in no time.
    Now, do yourselves a favor &look up my own pers favorite quote on google. I have it hanging up, everytime I start some new. (Job, project etc). Its very fitting for you guys..
    Its called:
    The man in the arena
    By T. Roosevelt
    Here is to a rockin, fantastic, successful, amazing, smooth, and yes cruising the cut permanently .. 2024!

    • @TheNomadicCrobot
      @TheNomadicCrobot  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      we got there in the end, about 3 days of sanding but all off now yay I think next time we may run. larger scale test and just with 1 coat before going full on in. Exactly days and days of it really takes it out of you. I can see why people would like a lighter colour but we do have a vision...it's just doing it the right way.
      Your not wrong there are perks with working with card we have been dealt, weve managed to build up a lovely following of narrowboaty people, though at times I do wonder how much more DIY they can take, also buy the end of this we will be fully trained on the whole boat so probably a big advantage in the long run, we are going cruising this year...it has to happen, Thank you so much for your lovely words and support it means so much ,Happy new year

    hey guys great video okay your floor what you really should have done is heated the boat up especially that floor got really really warm before you put anything down for a couple days but what I would have done is just gone through with a very high Grit in like a 1400 Red or higher sandpaper just light sandpaper that dark floor and put a sealer on it it would have been really nice you didn't have to go down again to White but now since you've done the whole floor my suggestion is mop it down really good just water dry it really good let it sit for a day after you done it then heat the boat up really really good into the high 70 Fahrenheit or higher for at least a day you want to honest warm boat where the floors warm before you add your stain once you staying at you know need to leave it set at that temperature for a day probably a second day then put your final ceiling coat over it but I think the floor looks fine personally for my taste that's just me Happy New Year

    im sure people have plenty of advice over your floor but if you have any of the wood left over from what you used for the floor use it as test pieces once you are happy with the results on the test pieces then you can do the main job this can go for any staining jobs on wood

It's a shame to drill through such perfect work, but if you're moving through the network, It will save that movement on the flue joints, it's maybe a bsc point nowadays too!? All the Best for '24.

    Fair play to you both its not easy renovating anything and no matter what mistakes or change of mind, some things have to be redone. Try very thin coat of the tinted wax, put on with a lint free cloth and really rub it in, more coats are easier to do than removing a coat or layer. Fire pace looking great.
