- Hello everyone and welcome back to the next part of our Narrowboat Build. This week you will see Grandad plumb in the sink, drainer and tap in the galley. Thankyou for watching 👍
Your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me.
Thankyou Ant for them kind words 👍
My hat is permanently off to you two!! The time lapse of the kids was brilliant!! 🤗😆
Cheers Brian. Hope you are well mate and getting some good rides out in this weather👍
Great update thanks guys
Cheers John👍
Well, apart from the stress for drilling through the hull in the right spot, this episode was a walk in the park!
Lovely to see the grandchildren got involved in working with the plumber's Lego, these scenes make wonderful grandparents.
I missed a few funny remarks, so when the subtitles have been generated I'll play it again. I am not a native speaker and my ears are getting a bit old :-(
I hope your level of construction inspires other people to stop cutting corners ;-)
Thank you again for sharing, greetings from The Netherlands.
Thankyou that is nice of you to say. And wow what a beautiful part of the world you live in. Glad you are with us 👍
Another brilliant video very professional your a credit to the profession of people who like to have it looking tidy well done grandad
Thankyou Kevin 👍
Another job of the list of things to do great job guys. Steve & Sandra.
👍👍👍
Another excellent job. I envy you those sinks though, and being able to put in the faucet before you installed the sink. It's a complete knuckle-buster to have to connect up the faucet behind a deep well sink that's already been installed.
I could see Grandad's perfectionism riled up by not being able to trim the flexible hoses to an exact length. I get the feeling he'd be tempted to replace them with copper just to get them perfectly fitted into place.
Thankyou, Yes the jury is still out whether he is going to change them or not. Depends if he is going to be able to sleep at night thinking about them 😆.
very interesting thank you. Sinks look fantastic. Cheers Keith Melbourne Australia
Thankyou Keith 👍
Poor old grandad, he must be tired having to screw in all those tight spaces 😂
weirdly he seems to like 😂
I would bet any boat building company would love to hire you your attention to detail and craftsman ship is amazing as always. And your teaching the little ones too. So enjoy watching them figure out how it all works. I bet they are more than ready to get on the boat and cruise. Sure they will look forward to summers and school breaks to spend time with you on the boat. I love how neat everything this behind the doors I get what he was not happy with about the water lines. Love the tap you picked looks perfect. Susan
Thankyou Susan, Yes can't wait for the Grandkids to experience cruising with us👍
Look great 😊 👍🏼
Cheers Steve👍
I think you nanny and grandad have a really equal partnership but I think you are a bit more equal than grandad 🤪
hahahaha yep
I hope you lined up all those screw slots on the Jubilee clips! Lol and the the worktop is now good for dancing on. Perfection at its finest ! Cheers, Nigel
hahaha Thanks for reminding him, he was up at 1am checking they were all lined up hahaha 👍
Thank you for this video! This helped me figure what out connection I needed for my new mixer tap ❤
Thats good 👍. Looking for parts to fit that are suitable for a boat is a bit of a minefield. Glad it helped 👍
Yes it is! I went to plumbworld and they were super helpful. I actually met you in the boatyard in Nottingham whilst viewing a shell before I bought my first boat. Finding all of your videos super helpful now. Hope your floating is going well :)
Thanks for so much enjoyment, what a team you both are Jean x
Thankyou Jean, I look forward to the day you can come and have a cup of tea on the deck with us👍
i was wondering about the trap but I see you have already answered that question. Looks great. All the best
Hi guys, great workmanship and explanations as always. Every time we see a hole being drilled into the side of a boat it scares the living daylight out of us! We are yet to make our first skin fitting hole 😱 good advice re position of plug hole facing stern, we will definitely keep that in mind.. you are so nearly there, we are so excited for you ❤️
Cheers you two. Yep putting holes in our boat has been the most worrying bit of the build. 👍
Another great job. Benefits of a slightly shallower sink, there’s no need for a pump. My kitchen/galley sink pump takes up the majority of the space in the cupboard. The grand kids doing a bit of experimenting. I agree with the decision on the tap; like it.
Cheers Chris, Great to chat with you the other day. Wont be long before we are sipping Port in your Dinette 👍
@@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg indeed. Should be a good evening.
Good video
Cheers Gary 👍
weather heating up mate? boat looking good H hope your good, J says hi, one day ocka we are comin to say hi, be safe
Cheers you two, That will be a great day to see you at the tiller 👍
@@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg brother take care always, I got the donut blown up, Il sling you the rope and we are off..its looking good brother, all the best
Just goes to show that everything work better with the ample application of lubricant 😂😂🤣👍🏼
🤣🤣🤣
Question, would you tape over or plug the skin fittings if you did leave the boat for a long period of time? Just to keep small ‘critters’ from moving in? Really enjoy your videos and your efforts
Yes good idea. We have made some little bungs anyway for when we launch so could use them when we are away too to stop the critters. Glad you are enjoying the video's 👍
Probably a bit late now but always use genuine jubilee clips because all the others are crap.
These are the much more expensive ones so hoping they are ok
I know this vlog is old but I was wondering what size skin fittings you've used?
Hi. We've used 3/4" on Bilge pumps, Washing machine and Galley sink.
@@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg Thank you for the reply, I used a 1,1/4" for the galley sink in the end as it was easier to find the fittings for a 38mm hose and it matched up to the old one. Will be using 3/4" for the rest though 👍
Where did you get the hose tail waste connection from? Any links you can share with us
Hello Liam, The one that came off the shallow bath trap was from screwfix (mcalpine wmf3 straight nozzle 1 1/2" white 45mm part number 5689p ). The other one that was on the drainer side we got from ASAP supplies (AG GRP straight hosetail 1 1/2 bsp male to 25mm hose ) It wasn't cheap for what it is but we needed it. Hope that helps 👍
Where did you get the u bend I have been looking for one like that for ages
Hello Colin. The u bend is a 40mm shallow bath trap from Screwfix. The code is 13034. You will also need a 40mm waste trap straight hose connector for washing mashine but we can't remember where we got that from. Will let you know when if we find it. Hope that helps 👍
Ady has found one on amazon . Merriway BHO1587 single appliance connector for washing machine or dishwasher white 40mm
@@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg great thanks no the hose I already have it’s just that the pipe I have is a hotch botch of pipes that’s been there for the last 5 years since we got the boat and every year I have had to fix it cause it keeps on leaking then looking for narrowboat kitchens this time around I saw your video and the u bend you used and it was exactly what I needed.
Do you really need a trap when the water runs straight outside?
I can't tell you how many rings have been saved in the trap.
What's needed is a shutoff to prevent water from coming inside.
Hello Martin. Yes we could have done it like the drainer but that would have took the fitting too low. The trap kept it at just the right level
yes indeed👍
yes we thought about putting a now return valve in but the internal diameter of them are quite small if bits of food end up going down and it ends up getting blocked. Also the ones we have are quite long and space was very limited
