That paint job was the nuts! Well done
Lots of prep, but well worth it as it is looking really good.
Neasha, You are very carering, We found that on how you explain about the previous own Mike ,do hope to hear more about him. Stay safe both of you xx❤
Thank you so much, Glenn!
Love your colour scheme. You will learn from trial and error. Keep the vlogs coming. Well done
It is coming along very nicely. I know you both have to be so excited to see it all coming together. I admire you both. One day I so look forward to coming to London. I want a widebeam.
Thank you so much! You’ll get there 💕
Green and gold, very classy. It's looking great. Well done you two. Plus well done to your mum for the brew and cakes.
Thanks so much! 😊
Great video. Lovely back story. Mick would be happy someone is spending time and effort on his former home and giving it new life for such a lovely couple.
We hope he would be 😊❤
Green is a lovely colour and with a bit of Red it really pops,sign writer is a great idea and I think it would look spectacular with hand painted flowers and like vines ( not too many, just the front and back) I think if you had used black sikoflex on the window frames that would probably be better but a small black border on the Green would look great.
It’s lovely seeing a young couple wanting to enjoy their lives together on such a venture and adventure,it’s lovely that the pair of you are so happy and always smiling.
I’m sure Mick will be looking down and extremely proud of what you have done so far and of your visions for his old Boat,he’ll probably be keeping a close eye on you two and helping out with things along the way.
Great videos by the way ❤
Thank you so much, Leonard! 🥰🥰🥰
How privileged are we to be taken on this journey with you both from me that you so much 💞 I have loved how you have grown with confidence and I love the new look of your boat keep up the good work 🤗 🤗
What a lovely comment 🥹 we’re so happy you’re here for the journey, David!
Love the new windows. You two are doing an awesome job. Hello from the USA
Thanks so much! 😊
You two are just adorable!!!
Love your channel.
Thanks! 😊
Enjoyed the vlog the colour is great your both doing a great job
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Oh she's looking fabulous. When I had my boat, a few years ago now, she was those colours 😍
Oh wow! Yay haha I do love the colour
Painting a boat (the '5 gallon overhaul') is the single 'easiest' thing you can do to spruce it up. Not only does it make a huge difference, but you get to partake in the joys of sanding! At least you are not having to replace/repair damaged wood, requiring a whole new skill set, and then you get to sand some more.
I really like the colours and the care you are taking in applying them. You are going to end up with a lovely home.
You’re right, it makes a HUGE difference! I will not be in any rush to do it again though 😂 I don’t want to even see another sander for at least a year
I've watched every episode of your journey renovating this boat, and will continue to watch you both complete it. You're both doing a fantastic job and all your hard work will pay off.
I'm planning to live on a narrow boat in a few years for at least a couple of years to explore the canals of the UK (I might end up living on it permanently).
I follow a few Narrowboat vloggers and love watching you all.. I look forward to when you've finished renovating and start enjoying living and exploring on it.
All the best!!
Thanks for being along for the journey! And I hope you fulfill your dream of traveling the U.K. by boat! 😊
When you tip off you need a really good quality paintbrush and it should NOT be loaded with paint. Do it right and and you'll achieve a mirror finish
Looking Slick Team nice job. Great job on the windows and yes there is always one Rebel in the Pack. Keep at it and Carry on. ;0)
Thanks! Will do!
Loving the videos.
I love seeing your progress adding your personal touch to your narrowboat . I feel the previous owner would be pleased to see his dream become yours. God bless you both
We hope so ❤
Stunning looking narrowboat, the windows install, preparation for painting, the finished job, excellent! 😊 23:06
Thank you very much! 😄
Wow!!! That looks absolutely super!!!
Thanks!!
If you can get a sign painter some silver pinstriping would be a great accent on the sides. Nice job!
Agreed!
Looking good. Nice to hit a mile stone on such a huge project. I think a renovation is harder than starting from new. As you have to undo before doing.
Yes! The undoing has taken months haha
wow that came out brill ,all that hard work was well worth while
Thanks Clive😃
Looks fantastic just with the undercoat. Maybe you two should do this for a living! Are you keeping the same name? Hard to believe it's been six months, but almost there, the fun things now. Well done.
You couldn’t pay me to go through that again 😂 but thank you!! No, we’re changing the name. It’s definitely crazy to think it’s been six months already, they’ve flown by haha. Almost onto the fun stuff!
Wow looking great guys you are both doing a fantastic job.Paul from Australia take care
Thanks 👍
Beautiful job. I love seeing people finishing work to this standard. I see great times ahead.
Thank you very much!
Aww great back story. I hope you saved his brass plates from the door. Or pass to hid granddaughter ❤
Beautiful colours and windows. So worth the effort ❤
The boat is looking great
Well done to you both, 6our hard work is coming to fruition, looking forward to seeing it finished
Us too!
Thanks!!
Love it.
Looking fantastic, well done to you both, once again a great insight, and happy viewing on a Sunday evening. Keep going and I look forward to the next episode.
Thank you kindly!
Absolutely beautiful! The windows look soooo good!
Thanks so much! 😊
Nicely done!
Thanks!
Wow it’s coming together nicely guys, love the exterior colours and really like the windows. My favourite moment was 15.52 💕such a gorgeous couple 🤗great bonding project,now can’t wait for your narrowboat journey on the canals to begin 😊
Thanks so much! 😊💕💕
Loving the colours you chose you should be so proud of yourselves. X
We are! Thanks 😊 ❤
British Racing Green!
Yes it is 👍
You are doing a great job! The boat looks fantastic! Best of luck from us in Japan.
Thank you very much!
120 grit flap discs for sanding and Cubitron discs for surfacing steel, just saying 😉😉
I am so happy for you two! Even knowing that you have so much more left to do, it must feel great to have everything come together to make the boat look so fantastic, already. I'm aware that the interior is going to present its own challenges, but if it does begin to get overwhelming from time to time, now you can step outside and reassure yourselves that all your hard work has and will continue to pay off. Congratulations on reaching this milestone!
Aw thanks Dan! You’re so right, when we get overwhelmed from now on at least we can look at the outside and see there’s been some progress haha
The boat is looking great :)
The boat looks propper now, great job 👍
Try blue masking tape it's so much better, you'll never go back to yellow.
Ooh we’ll check it out! Never seen blue before
I'm not advertising here but I wish I'd know how good the blue tape was before I'd used yellow (yellow has a very short use time before the adhesive separates).
3M UK = ScotchBlue™ Multi-Surface Premium Masking Tape 2090, 48mm x 41m
Thanks for the rec!
Wonderful paint job, well done! I’ve just started the process of buying a boat…much smaller and not so much a project but looking forward to canal life soon 😌🙏
You found one, yay! All the best with it, I know you’ve been excited about this for a while 😄
Keep bashing away. You will get there. There's alot involved renovating an old boat. More than most realise. You just got keep at it. Don't get on a downer with things at times. I gone thru similar stuff restoring classic cars. You can sit there at times wondering what the hell am I doing this for . Lol
Definitely a lot involved!
Love the colours. I'm sure you are keeping a record of what you're spending on the renovation. It will be interesting to know when you've completed it all. Great workmanship so far. 💚
Yes! I’ve kept a record of everything so I might share it when the boat is done 😊
Even though the windows are double glazed the frames are not, you will probably still get condensation on the frames, keep an eye on it, it can stain your wood surround the windows. You are doing good, be patient!!
That’s a great point!
Very very nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!
🙂👍looks grejt!!!
Thanks 😊
Hate that sqeak o flex! Use it on the bow end and you find it on the stern before you get there! travels all by itself.
Too true 😂 it gets EVERYWHERE
Can I just ask whereabouts you had your boat whilst you painted it? We need somewhere to keep ours and are based in the Midlands
I don't share online where specifically the boat is for safety reasons but if you call around marinas and boat yards you'll find places to keep it! Some have tunnels like this one to paint your boat in. Ours was a bit pricy to be honest but I heard there's others that are half the price :)
