Danni & Joe
Congrats on so many levels, o n getting married, saving money, designing and building a boat home and for keeping it real 👌 💯
Thank you!
Loved the vlog. May I say you deserved not to video on you wedding day and honeymoon you should have that to yourselves and family. We are privileged if you share it. Loving being part of your journey xxx
Thank you Caroline! It’s good to be home!
Time to cruise and enjoy the benefits of narrow boat life.
Gets some Brillo soap pads for the pans Danni. Joe is finally a full member of the "Do as your told club!" now.😁😁
Joe has THE BEST cooling down method 👌🏼
100%
Great watching
Thank you!
Great to see you back in 🇬🇧, wasn't quite the same you being in the 🇺🇸.
Thanks Paul it’s good to be back!
Hello🌻 yippy I love your channel and congratulations on your wedding 💫🥂🍾🎊🎁..love from Australia 🇦🇺🌻🌈🌻
Thank you!
Welcome home!!! You’ve been so busy!!! Can’t imagine working in sweatshop temps 🥵🥵🥵
It was crazy hot 😫
Well hello traveller’s great to see you both home safe and sound. I enjoyed your videos from America as it’s a place I wouldn’t go to. (I won’t fly). Danni you looked so hot in boat I could feel the cool of that lovely fan. Have great week. 👍
It was a great trip but good to be home! It was so hot on the boat 😫
As you first entered the Boat,I had flash-backs to all the work you two did in the renovation. Yes, it is a home now!
Ahh thank you what a journey it’s been!
Congratulations on yr wedding and it’s great to have you back
Thank you it’s good to be home!
Fresh pineapple in your shop! I am munching my chopped up pineapple as I watch you two get back to boat life. Right about pissy US 'beer' though. I use wire wool on iron pans, but make sure you rinse well.
We didn’t generally eat much before Hawaii but the ones on Maui were stunning! Yes glad to have local beer back!
Helllooo! Welcome home Mr & Mrs. So lovely to see you again. I'm sorry that some peeps didn't enjoy your travel vlogs so much. We loved them but think that taking a break for your wedding and a holiday was a good idea anyway.
Your frying pan, try putting it in the sink with washing up liquid and then filling it with boiling water and leaving it for a whil & then scrub, I find that moves any stains from my metal pans.
Your boat is so beautiful and homely, one little tip for helping to keep it a little cooler - line your curtains with black out material. It helps keep quite a lot of the heat out. Best wishes you lovely couple. Xxx
Thank you Barbara! It’s good to be back for sure. Thanks for the tip on the pan we’ll give it a go!
Glad to hear you had a good time, and yes, the skill to holidaying is leaving room for spontaneous ideas, and rest, and processing it all mentally. How about a shaped wooden bracket for the shower head. Use a big blob of kids plasticene stuck on the wall to find out what shape will cradle the shower head nicely. You might need an elastic hair bobble over the top to stop the little bugger jumping out of its cradle when in full flow....you know what these 'inanimate objects ' can be like when they see their chance....
Yes definitely need spare days, we tried to fit a little too much in for sure. Good idea on the wood and plasticine might just give that a try!
Hi guys good to see you back love wot you’ve done with your boat brilliant job keep the videos rolling 😀🦢👍
Thanks so much!
@@DanniandJoe You too are one of my favourite TH-camrs you are brilliant keep up the good work guys brilliant content 😀🦢👍
Man after my own heart a cold beer
You can buy the shower head holders at B&Q separately..keep up the good work..
Will have a look to see if they’ll fit as our shower head is a strange size! Thank you
Good to see you bk if you can’t afford desil you can rig up a sale and that fan will push you along fine you did a top job on that build looks brilliant be good you 2 🦆🦢🙂✌️
😂😂😂
Boy that's some list , nice to see you back on the boat, 😁👍
Thank you it’s great to be back!
Loved the USA videos, but so looking forward to being back to the boat 😁
Thank you! It’s great to be back
The clamps you use in science to hold bottles and test tubes etc. Might have to paint them to make look a bit better but should definitely work. Be able to angle it however you want. Clamps on to it so will hold it firm.
Ahhh that’s a really good idea will keep an eye on eBay for some!
A microphone gooseneck mount like are used for podiums could be a good option for the shower/sink issues. Give you some control and flexibility. Just my two pence 😉. Great work on the boat! I've binged the whole series this week.
Ahh great idea! Also that’s commitment on catching up so fast!
Nice to see you back on your boat 😁.
That fan tho’ sounds like a jet engine spooling up !! 😳😂😂
Keep cool guys 👍
We thought it was going to just keep going! 😂😂
Nice too see you guys, 👍👍👍👍
It’s good to be back!
Bar keepers friends stain remover will bring your pans back to new again. Highly recommend vac sacs for keeping all your winter coats/ bedding/ etc in to save space but prevent them from getting moldy or cloths moths. You both look super chilled after your fantastic adventures in the US 🤗
Thank you bar keepers seem to be the most recommended! Yes just bought some of the vaccum sacks!
@@DanniandJoe it’s really good to help clean up some charity shop finds too 😉 I can’t believe I forgot to also say Huge congratulations 🥂🎊 on your wedding 💒 🤗
My wife has cut my hair for the last 40 years. One on the sides and two on the top according to the shears. Saves a ton of money for other things. Who cares what people think, it saves money for things we like. No one else matters, just your selves. You made the boat for your selves so why care about others for their opinion?
100%
Nice to see you back , looking forward to seeing more fun and humour 😀
😫 married life + 35c on the boat is a massive test of patience 😂😂😂
Sorry I have to comment again…..just watching the shower chuffer washer issues, you can get metal holders with or with out gimbals.👍
Will have a look thank you!
Congratulations on tying the knot, hope we moor up near you soon...
Oh and by the way just buy a bloody sink xx
😂😂 thank you!
Cast-iron pan was the original nonstick frying pan. The problem is it has to be taken care of
Yes that’s true & never washed with soap is that right? We might get one as they’ll last forever if looked after
The US videos were great! Good to see you guys back!
Thank you! It’s nice to be back on the boat we must admit
Great to see you both, looking through TH-cam and saw you were back, looking forward to following you again
Good to be back!
Welcome home and to married life. Awww. So happy for u both. Love the colours of your boats interior. So lovely and cheerful. Have a good week. Keep cool with that huge fan. Best wishes
Thank you very much!
Glad you are back Danni & Joe. The boat seems to have coped without you there and the crutch cover looks good. The hot weather over in the UK has been exhausting for lots of people. Enjoy Keith
😂😂😂
Thanks Keith! Good to be back!
Congratulations ❤❤
Thank you!
Great to see you back 😊
Thank you!
Welcome back , missed the channel I look forward to your adventures 😀
Thank you!
Hi Danni, Joe, Good to see you again back on your boat, which is looking great. Your new Cratch lover looks just the job. Thank you for the video's you created when you were on holiday. They were really good and very interesting, and so well produced and edited, which I know takes a long time to do. Hope you had a great Honeymoon. So now back to the old routine. I liked your new Power Bank. (My Jackery is doing well). Danni, you have very nice hand writing (when you created your list). At least it is a bit cooler now. Have a great week. Take care.
Thank you! It’s good to be back but we did have a great trip. The power banks are so handy!
Welcome home. Travel is good but it’s always nice coming home. The boat looks great and the new catch cover is a winner. We’re getting your hot weather in BC this week, around 32 to 34 and it’s firewood cutting time for next winter.
Thanks Bob it’s good to be back. Ouch! Hopefully it’ll season well in the heat 😫
Welcome back so glad you back safe and well from the travels and congratulations on your wedding the boat looks grand and the new cover nice you can add little finishing touches Ann and David(the oldies) 🍸🍸🍾🍻
Thanks Guys! It’s good to be home safe!
So good to have you back, followed all your American vlogs, but I love that you are home. Best wishes Christine x
Thanks Christine! It’s good to be home ❤️
I really enjoyed your America videos, as I enjoy all your videos.
Great to see you back on the boat.. Loved the USA videos but I'm so glad your back.... Hope you've caught up with your sleep now guys.. 😁
We’re well rested now but back to work to top the piggy bank back up! 😂 it’s great to be back on the boat though
For the record, still love you guys.
Love the boat life, and the adventures. Missed you over the last few weeks, but hey, you guys have lives too. No worries from me.
You guys just do what you do, and I’ll watch.
If I’d know you guys would eat meat, I’d have recommended you get some Conecuh (co-neck-ah) sausage. Very good stuff. Especially on what we call a biscuit with egg and cheese
Thank you! It’s good to be back. Ahh will add the sausage to our ‘to try’ list for next trip, roughly where is it from? Joe enjoyed biscuits and gravy, didn’t try with egg and cheese though!
@@DanniandJoe it is from Conecuh County in Alabama. There are many different types of smoked sausage, but the Conecuh brand is considered some of the very best. So if you are traveling through Alabama, it can be obtained at pretty much any Walmart or Piggly Wiggly (yes that is a real grocery store chain). Another way to enjoy it is to butterfly the “fat” Conecuh, it come in two different thicknesses, grill it and then slather in BBQ sauce. The skinny size can be cut to bun length and eaten as a hot dog. It two can be grilled.
Try soaking the pans using a dishwasher tablet. Works a treat.
Cheers!
Love what you guys are doing by the way. We are at the anothe rrnd of the marriage journey etc and hope to do the boat life thing soon!!
I never thought having a full water tank would effect your hangers in that way 😋. Great video and great to see you back onboard.
😂😂 it’s good to be back!
That build-up in the frying pans will create a natural nonstick coating so don't go crazy scrubbing. If it really bothers you, cook with a lower temp and use Avacado oil.
Ahh okay, sort of like seasoning an old cast iron pan!
Welcome back both! I couldn’t believe the amount of fans available so well done on that huge one, you can use it to blow the rain clouds away!
Argos was almost completely out of stock so good old screwfix! 😂
So glad to see you both back. Loved seeing you get some other wee things done in your home. Welcome back folks xx
Thank you! Great to be back!
I love how your boat is looking. I thought the green was too dark for inside a narrowboat, but with the creamy white I think it is just lovely. Your hard work and perseverance is showing a beautiful boat coming along. Very exciting! I can hardly wait for it to be completed and see you enjoying the fruits of your hard labor.
Thank you!
Nice one guys
Thank you 😊
yeah jetlag is so terrible, me living in Australia, feel and know how you feel, everytime I come back to the UK, Jetlack is awful... it just takes times, you will be ok in a day or two.
100%! Strange feeling
A really great way to cool down on a hot day is an old school way is to eat some chilled grapes
Oh wow didn’t know about the grapes!
Lovely to see you both back home safely, looking forward to future videos.... The adventure continues
Thank you!
As lovely as it was to see you away, and lm so glad you did it, it's lovelier to see you home. 😘
And l have to ask about the noodles. What make and flavour were they please? With the peanut butter and spring onions you put in was it, chilli flakes on the top? I'm glad that was all you you could afford in Hawaii or you maybe wouldn't have shown us. ROFL!
Welcome home guys x
Yes we know what you mean! It’s nice to be back on the boat. They’re Soba noodles from Tescos (made by Nissin), they’re the company that invented instant noodles so really good! And just peanut butter and chilli flakes!
@@DanniandJoe thanx. I love you dropped straight back into clean eating x
Looking back at earlier videos of your work on the boat, I’m thinking of all the times plans went wrong, drill bits broke, frustrating delays happened and how frustrating these setbacks were for you, Joe. But what I take from those frustrations is how they did not stop you, how you persevered and the boat now looks amazing. It is a credit to both of you and as I begin my own narrowboat adventure imminently, with a few jobs on my boat to complete, your videos are inspiring and have given me an important lesson on how to work on my boat. Excellent work guys.
BTW, Lymes disease comes from tick bites. I have a good friend who caught lymes in America. When he got back to the UK, he never got medical attention for it in time and it developed into late stage Lymes. It is a very serious, debilitating condition.
You may be thinking of Legionnaires disease. That comes from rancid water.
Ahhh wow what a lovely comment! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day not only to watch us idiots but write something like that. It makes the whole process worth it so thank you. Yes that’s it, knew I’d heard of Lymes disease it sounds awful. If we can be of any help with your build give us a shout! Danni & Joe
I love your bathroom sink and your Belfast sink, your home is lovely 😊
Thank you!!
Good to have you back.
Thank you!
There at 17:34 my brain isn't jet lagged and yet it initially registered that grey and black/multicolor thing with white cord draped around it there next to table as a radio control tugboat & went, "Hey cool, will be fun to see if it can move the narrowboat". 😆
😂😂
Hello Danny Joe,so nice to see you both back and looking happy as ever even after a great holiday and it can be stressful,when you opened the boat I thought it was a different boat it looks amazing stunning you both have worked so had to get it looking like home from home 🏡 you both should be so proud of each other,,I did not realise you was away for such a long time I guess it back to reality now work and more work ,Danny did you find any more jumping lamppost lol how many miles do you think you drove ,do you both have a favourite part of your holiday?,so what is your plans now are you going cruising or just back to work,are you going on the river side to more or stop in the Marina sorry about all the questions I guess I have missed you on the boat although I watched you holiday blogs which was fantastic,did not think it would be such a job to fix a shower head bunt you will fix it I’m sure ,I just love your colours on the boat I thought the dark green was not going to fit it but bloody hell it looks fantastic who picked the colours the cloud affect on the ceiling really is different never seen it before well done Joe excellent 👌 idea,well you great blog till next time take care keep yourself safe,love and positive thoughts to you both,John 🌞🌹🥂🍻🥇🥇🗽🪚🪜❤️❤️
Good to see you back xxx
Thank you!
Well hope you had a good time in the US but I bet your glad to be back home even with the heat .
Yes it’s nice to have the boat to come back to rather than moving straight back in with our parents!
Hi Danni and Joe, the boat really looks great. Your fan might come in handy when the stove is on this winter. Maybe it will help move some of the heat back to the bedroom. It’s nice the stern of your boat is large, add a umbrella and call it a sunroom😊.
Thanks Penney yes the fan will be useful year round! And we’ve been thinking of cover ideas for the stern!
As my Dad told me. Marriage is like a Partnership where one Partner believes they do more than the other. That's why most Partnership fail. Be careful that you are aware that is what your Partner/Wife in this case may think, you could have helped with the Bed in this instance. Listen to your Olders, in this instance a 78 year Older. Good Luck to both of you.
We like to wind each other up 😊 we both make a great team.
Congrats on the wedding, and glad that you both stopped filming and just enjoyed your trip.
I laughed at the potato chips, and if you ever need a care package from the US, let me know! :)
Thank you! Ahh that’s very kind!
Joe shouldn't you have carried Danni over the threshold?
I loved your holiday vlogs but quite understand why you didn't do many. Boo to all the miserable people who didn't watch them!
It is really good to see the boat again. Hard to believe that you have been gone 3 months!!!
Thanks Ann! I think I’d bang both of our heads if I tried that on the boat 😂 it’s great to be back and thanks for watching the USA videos!
Welcome back. you can clean your pan using a steel pan scrub and elbow grease. After that try using a magic eraser when you do your wash-up.A soak with some of that oxy stuff you use for washing is good too.
Good call! Thank you. And it’s good to be back
Back home feels good eh ! Cheers n beers Marty Australia
Yes great to be back mate!
Married life for you 😂 all the best and the yank vids were Wicked.
😂😂 thanks Andy!
Welcome back. For your pans try bicarbonate of soda. Its good for pans and ovens.
Thank you!
Lymes decease is caused by the bite of an infected tick. I think you mean Legionnaires which is caused through water infection.
Cheers for clarifying 😊
Congratulations on your wedding, good to have you back. Luvin all your gadgets, where did you buy your temperature thermostat from? That door shape is awesome 👌 We love watching your videos. What Marina are you moored at?
Danni, how do you manage to get so much time off work?
Glenn & Marion X
This was a little while ago when we were moored in Devizes (caen hill marina) - we loved it there but have moved closer to Bristol for the time being
Its fine for pans to go like that its basically just carbonised oil I know lot people hate it as looks dirty,
keeping pans well seasoning is art work in it self TBH, but just washing them in water no soap then getting them hot rubbing oil into them works well then fry some onions in them then bin the onions.
that will season in a new pan. and make none stick more you keep this up more you use the more none stick pan will become. cooking foods like tomato's in the pan will remove the seasoning.
but main goal is to carbonise the oil to make a none stick layer in the pan. stainless steal pans are nightmare to work with but once get down they are amazing, same for cast iron and copper pans.
be mindful if you ever get cast iron to dry with towel then heat it up to dry it out to get water out as will just rust I also recommend not putting it in humid place also when wash cast iron don't have water to hot or to cold as the temp can effect the pan. my go to pan is cast iron, but I love also working with stainless steal and copper, copper is amazing for just fast heating and how even heating is, Cast iron realy good for holding heat.
Ahh thanks for that!
Nice to see you guys back been missing you both
Thank you it’s good to be back!
Wirer wool or a metal scalers will work had my pan like that for years one of the best brings em up like new oh a a little bit of elbow grease
Nice little fan you got! Imagine that on the far side of the stove in winter.. By the way! Welcome back to Europe and reallity
Yes good shout! Thanks Rolf!
like you guys, i allso left handed, changeing a double socket in our bedroom, it needs a right handed person...... i will have to stand on my head.
😂😂
Welcome home
Thank you!
How Jammy you are getting a second Alcatraz mug in a charity shop.
It was meant to be!
Glad your back! Door stop was a good idea!
Thank you!
First time viewer. I like your style. Great video! Use vinegar and baking soda for your pots and pans. When you were in the USA did you stop in Mississippi for the blues?
Sorry, but America is: Canada, USA, and Mexico. Just wanted you to know.
I always have to say USA when I travel.
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! We were a bit short for time so didn’t get a chance to stop in Mississippi but maybe next trip!
Brilliant guys, thank you.
Thanks for watching!!
Add a hearty pour of baking soda (about ¼ cup or ½ cup), and then carefully place your pan in the water. Reduce the water to a gentle boil, and let the pan cook for about 15 to 30 minutes, flipping or rotating it if necessary, so that all the sides are boiled. You should start to see brown residue flaking off.
Thank you!
@@DanniandJoe I just got rid of all my Teflon pans after reading about how they can be Toxic. So I had to learn how to clean these new pans. Another type of pan you can look at is Cast Iron, You can use them on an open campfire and they are easy to clean.
Nice to see you. Your boat looks lovely. Great stuff
Thank you for watching 😊
For your shower- maybe like the top of a mic stand will hold your shower head?
Ooooh that’s a good idea! Might keep an eye out for a cheap one
Same Teflon documentary. Same purchase of stainless steel pans after. The best product by far is Bar Keepers Friend to clean them.
Thank you will try and order some here, very eye opening documentary though!
I have to say, 35°c isn’t over 100°F. You need to get over 37.77°C. 35 is a nice day Mate.
Too hot for a Brit! 😫
@@DanniandJoe LOL this expat is well acclimatised to the Aussie ☀️ 😉
I'm sure a good English ale would be welcome after weeks of American...uh...what is that? ☹
There are some good breweries in California and Oregon, but there's quite a cluster of really good ones north of the border in Vancouver and area. 🤗
Canadian craft ales generally start at 5% or more--that's with the decimal point to the RIGHT of the number!
We did manage to find some decent breweries but missed a decent amber ale for sure! Can’t wait to visit Canada, it was on our original plan pre covid but we didn’t designate anywhere near enough time so will be a separate trip at some point!
Funny you all are hot but your drinking hot tea!
We could be on Mars and still drink tea 🇬🇧 😫😂
The Teflon panic annoys me. Teflon doesn't start breaking down (Decompose) until it reaches around 5-600c. Which you aren't going to get when cooking under normal circumstances. It is also completely inert so if you manage to eat flecks of teflon you scrape off the pan if you use metal utencils. it will pass straight through.
That being said, I don't use Teflon because I don't like how quickly it comes off in the wash and it isn't dish washer safe. I use ceramic pans.
Didn't know this! We were mainly worried about the flakes getting into our food than say a new pan 'leaching' into the food per se. Maybe we'll check out ceramic next!
@@DanniandJoe I must admit, the idea of eating flakes of Teflon creeps me out quite a bit even though I know it won't harm me.
🤪Welcome Back Home Did You In Joy The U.S ?
We had a great time but it is definitely nice to be home on the boat!
Make a Holder from wood.
Leigouneers from sitting water.....Lymes decease from ticks
For your pan, Bar Keepers Friend or Bon Ami
Thank you bar keepers has been mentioned quite a few times so must be the one to try!
I need your glass frames. Please.
I tried to snap my fingers at the dishes, and the result was very disappointing.
Haha 😄
😂😂
You two are very tan!
Thanks John! It might just be dirt though 😂
Vinegar will remove it
C to F,,,, times 2 plus thirty,, roughly, not exact but close.
Oooh will remember that!
