Love love love watching you guys. Every time you say Swindon I crack up having lived there. So glad the hill is so sound. Professional Narrow Boat kids. An inspiration.
Having built a house in the backwoods of British Columbia, I have a lot of respect for what you two have accomplished in such a short time. You guys deserve all the support you have received. Mark Alberta, Canada
Mark, that's amazing! Great effort. And thank you too for that appreciation, it feels like everyone should know what they're doing as every man and his dog are doing it. But yea, not easy. All the best xx
We have just had lithium batteries fitted, OMG what a game changer, we can watch telly past 8.30 pm 😂 Pottery throw down is one of my fav programmes, loved your pots, what a great pressie 🎉❤
Yesssss! Loving the lithium, we don’t ever need to run the engine now, unless we are actually cruising now, which is a complete game changer for us :) love the great pottery throw down! It is one of my favourite shows too!
One of my friends is a qualified pottery teacher, she made great stuff, she taught in a college, but left it to work in a museum now, she still dabbles I think, great job Ula 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🇬🇧xxx
Another great video this week! Interesting to learn about new things, such as anodes. The guys that did the blacking on your boat, and the electrician did a super job too. Look forward to next Sunday’s excursion 😊❤
WHAT FUN TO BE ABLE TO UPGRADE AND DO NECESSARY MAINTENANCE WITH PROFESSIONALS THAT CARE!!!.... WELL DONE, CANT WAIT TO SEE ALL THE NEW SPRITE UPGRADES. AND HOPEFULLY FIND A WAY TO RESTORE THE GLORIOUS PAINTING ON THE SIDES. BE BLESSED YA ALL!
i live off grid in Arizona and i thought i had no more bills but everything becomes a bill your blacking and boat maintenance is a bill your channel is very good i am just binge downloading your playlist
The names welded into the anodes is such a nice touch!! 😊 & so happy you’ve got your electrics sorted. It really does make a huge difference! Hehe weird to see us in the preview, excited to see it! 👋🏻😊
That was so interesting. We’ve decided to look again into a narrowboat (we’re in Australia), we’ve had narrowboat holidays but now at 70 and 73 maybe having a few years in the UK and living the dream. Getting our dogs over there is the big thing, EXPENSIVE and we’re now waiting to hear back from the British Embassy to see if we can legally do it. Started looking at narrowboats and made enquires about out of water surveys and obviously blacking thus the great interest in your video. It was great, great timing too. LOVED the pottery, brilliant birthday present. Thanks heaps guys, see you in the next one, stay safe. 💕
@@UlaandJosh. No sadly we’re not, our ages came against us, health was going to cost a fortune though I must admit I thought as Australia was part of the Commonwealth health wouldn’t be a problem. We were absolutely shattered as it was our biggest want. The long and the short now is we sold our home as we wanted to be able to just up and go but as it didn’t happen we ended up buying a beautiful little cottage in Victoria. Probably just as well but still it was our dream for our final years. Bright side is if you ever come back for a holiday you have somewhere to stay. LOL but you would be welcome. Henri is a Vet too Josh but he was the Senior Service, LOL our son in law was Army.
I have some lovely pieces my brother made about 30 years ago. He passed away about 23 years ago, so it makes me very happy whenever I use them or look at them. He had become a master potter, and I enjoyed watching him work and teach. Watching you and your love of creating pottery brings a smile to my face. Enjoy, you wonderful humans. 🤗❤
Another fab video. Loved your pottery. Also I am leaning so much about the workings of a narrow boat and finding it very interesting. Look forward to next week's.
That was fun to watch. Glad you’re getting the important things fixed. Composting is the way to go IMO. Can’t wait to see it all finished. Have a beautiful week!👋🏼
Its fab when you get to grips with off grid living. Like i mentioned before we moved from England and bought some land up north ontario in the wilderness and built off grid. Yes it was overwhelming the first winter lol but we then we had an AMAZING SOLAR system and we never believed we could make 102% electricity in a day! It runs everything!!!! We have a super whisper generator that we only have to use on the odd very dull day in winter ( but dont forget eventhough we get lots of snow, the days sre VERY BRIGHT AND SUNNY, sunglasses a must). Now 2 winter , we have off grid living completely down pat! And so will you. ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR COMPOSTING TOILET LOL. IT never smells because 1 and 2s are seperate and a scoop of cedar shavingsplaced on top of 2s lol. Its the liveliest smelling toilet we have ever had ( and im a clean freak) so you will enjoy the composting loo. Great vlog and hoped you enjoyed you beer and nosh after a crazy week. Ps loved the pottery 😊❤
This is amazing - thanks for showing us all the 'things' that are happening with your boat - really encouraging changes. The pottery process is terrific. The kiln reminds me of a Naan oven. Really beautiful results - shiny copper and turquoise glaze, and beautiful rich carbon. Thanks for the heads-up for the next episode
That pottery baking was amazing. I had no idea that much heat was involved. I like the adjustable brackets for the new solar panels. Really clever, and versatile design. Good progress being made.
Wow - look out Homes Under The Hammer - Ula and Josh are bringing a whole new meaning to it! Can't wait to see the finished shower room. Have a great relaxing evening in the pub and looking forward to seeing next week's adventures! xxx
Hi Josh and Ula, really enjoying your videos, look forward to watching them every Sunday so thank you both. Am enjoying coming along on your amazing adventure. Loved your pottery Ula, looked amazing. Take care both of you. 😊😊😊
Boat protection comes in the shape of a hull protection not a simple few coats of bitumen! Galvanic isolators are banned in the US with good reason. Isolating transformers are the only way to go with AC and DC. A negative engine switch is a good addition to stop stray current finding its way to the hull. Take care both
Having watched you from the start, it warms my heart to see everything coming together for you and your lovely floating home! It's such a joy to come along on your journey. Huge hug! Tracy ☺️
Shipyard (S/Y) work is a talent unto itself. I love S/Y. Great feeling knowing you are “Fully Blacked and Charged”. Hopefully, your “Head” (Bathroom) is completed and you have a spot for your Washer…🍺🍺
Love your pottery Ula. I may have to commission you to make a tiki mug some time when I set up a new tiki bar! Loving seeing the transformation of the boat it just keeps getting better and better. Much love to you guys. X
Thanks to both of you for another really enjoyable video. We learned a bit about firing the pottery and the transformation was a surprise. It's great to be able to follow your progress week to week. We wait in anticipation every Sunday to see what your doing next with the boat. Thanks again.
Your boat looks spiffy with its blackened hull and new solar panels. I can't wait to see your upgrade to your bathroom (head) when you're all done with that. Ula, your Raku pots are simply awesome! You did a terrific job with the glazes. Jenny
oww berni, how lovely of you to reach out to us and let us know, thankyou, that's really kind of you, hope to bump into you some time!! lots of love, ula and josh xx
I love you guys. Living in Australia and probably will never own a narrow boat but I'm completely invested in your videos and watch every episode brought out. Sometimes annoyed when the vlog is finished and I want more but my weekly fix of your amazing progress makes me ready for the next. ❤
You guys are fast becoming my favourite channel!! You're always so positive even when problems arise. You're also extremely informative and not just where boating is concerned! Loved the Raku, but I seriously don't need a new hobby!!! Looking forward to the next update 😊 xx
Wow a fantastic video as always.loved your pottery beautiful colours the last time i did it was when i was at school. So looking forward to next week video.Have a lovely week both of you.😊
Another amazing video Ula and Josh, I get to watch it Monday mornings here in Australia whilst having breakfast and a cuppa 🥰 great way to start the week for me 🇦🇺😊
Love how your pottery came out. Fabulous! Great that Devizes could fit you in and get the work done. Looks good and at least you’ll be confident that the boat has been looked after properly. Next will be the paint job - that will show off the new solar panels well 😁. Happy cruising xx
Love the pottery, the copper pot especially. It will be nice to be completely off grid with the solar panels. You’ve got a lot going on but it’s looking great. Really enjoyed this. ❤️
Love your enthusiasm for life and the love you have for each other. Enjoyed your journey from episode 1. Keep going guys we are with you all the way 🥰. Lots of love Trevor & Linda ❤❤
How wonderful to see you soooo happy and you really know some fantastic specialists and friends as well.😘. Your boat is getting better and better, congratulations.
Enjoy following your journey! Great videos, wishing you every success in your ventures. Can't wait for next werk when you meet Amy and Wes, 😂 follow these great guys to. ❤
Beautiful pottery! I have always wanted to take a class and fire my own pottery. So very lovely of Lee to be sure you feel secure in how your electric works! Love his accent! So interesting this week can’t wait to see next Sun. ~ Jen
This was an absolutely dream to watch,! i truely have never enjoyed watching vlogs as much as i do yours, you have the the exact right balance of being brilliantly informative, beautifully funny and amazingly honest and genuine in all aspect of your new lives, i think anyone thinking of living on a narrowboat would benefit massively from watching you both cos your simply covering it all leaving no stone unturned for us watchers and wanna be boatlifers, but i think want makes these vlogs so so enjoyable is you two, your love for eachother, your love for nature and your thirst for learning and gaining knowledge is a pure joy to watch 🥰🥰 im sure i say this every comment but you both truely make my week complete. Sending you all the love and abundance in the world darlings xxxxxxxxx 🥰🥰🥰 please set up a donations page id love to contribute and help take a little of the pressure off of you both ❤️ xxxxxxx
Love seeing the pottery that Ula's doing. Did a spot of pottery myself in college along with weaving. Ula, have you done any weaving? So glad to hear that the hull is sound. That must be a comfort to you all. Looking forward to your further adventures on the canal and your side trips on land. Have a good week.
@@UlaandJosh I started with a small flat loom in college, and worked up to a 4 harness, 36" wide table loom later on. You might have enough space for a flat loom. With Josh's talents as well as yours, I bet you could whip up a dandy one right there on board. But my real passion is quilting, from wall hangings to king size bed quilts. I love experimenting with color and patterns.
Lovely pottery. I’m a Native American potter. I know what gos into the art. We call her Clay Lady. We say prayers before we start helping her form herself. She knows who she is we are the instrument she uses. I’m from New Mexico and part of the Pueblo tribe. We are well known for the pottery we produce. Enjoy the clay!💜😬🙏🏼
I don’t know if I’m online but my father is. Joseph Lonewolf . He also has a piece in the Smithsonian. He was very famous for his art. My aunt is Grace Medicine Flower. Our whole family’s pottery gos back generations. I learned from my father and my aunt and my grandfather, Camilo Sun Flower. It’s all in the family.
I’m from USA North Carolina. I live near the tiny town of Seagrove which is known for its wonderful potters. They make the most amazing pottery and have for generations. I have always loved that clay can be transformed into such beauty.
Love you guys ~ you should purchase a buddy heater ~ in the US that's what we take camping and it's run off of propane ~ just in case an emergency ever comes up ~you'll have an alternate heating source
You guys look so happy, no wonder why! The Raku looked so fun and it's great to see how you'll benefit from the upgrades to the boat. Very curious to know more about the anode thing though?
Hi Ula Josh well that was so interesting watching you doing you potty it was interesting watching you with the feather on the bowl and the super colours it came out of the Kilm so so beautiful and interesting,so the boat is being blacked it’s a messy job but worth it in the long run you have some big solar panels what a difference they will make,the washing machine sure you will find a place somewhere for it ,I bet it is cold in there with no heat 😊 ,you boat is sure beginning to look really good so till next time take care keep safe and warm ,John 🌹🇬🇧👀😢🫢🤔🤫🫣😇😙😉☺️😗
Great episode this week, loads done, i thought josh had fallen in the toilet but it was a face pack😂 loved the pottery. Solar panels. Wow you won't know yourselves. Could you probably explain next week what those things do that was welded to the hull, i guess it something to do with electrolysis. Have a great week, already waiting for Sunday.
Ho no 😮 just thinking about you guys as I look at what’s just come out of our bank account this month . £170 direct debit for our energy bill 😢. Your definitely doing the right thing. Love Trevor & Linda xxx
Ohhh guys, we really do feel for you! We've been there too! It's getting ridiculous. Don't get us wrong, we did have to invest thousands into this, but that's going to be it now 🙌
Ula Josh you are so doing the right thing. We both met late on in life and share the same loves. Number 1 walking the canel. Waiting for a hip replacement so you 2 are going to live the life that we would have loved. Trevor & Linda xxx
While you were taking the Propeller off pity you didn't have a weed cutter to put near the prop to slice those weeds and to prevent the prop getting tangled up.
Great Video guys well done on your boat yard week it’s a tuff week long hours and hard work. Looking forward to seeing the bathroom and compost loo going in. 👍
Great video Ula and Josh wow you certainly were busy but you must be so much happier with the solar and power now...ok I have no idea about blackening is it paint or like tar ?...I assume it's a waterproof coating though...what a nice pressie from Josh what a fabulous gift (Happy Birthday Ula)...thankyou for sharing xo 💜🇦🇺
@@UlaandJosh yes you definitely have found a keeper Ula...and yes thought it was bitumen does it have that horrible smell...I seriously hate driving on newly made road's yuck 🤷♀️
Well, I'm sorry, but I have to complain, that's just not good enough. 21 minutes and 30 seconds... it just isn't long enough 😉☺ Another great episode, thank you both. I had such a laugh over Josh's mud pack 🤣 The high light for me was at about 9:28 , the way you synchronised the music to the beat of the hammer against the hull was genius. I really appreciate the work that goes into the editing. Can't wait for the next video, thanks for sharing both of you, 5⭐'s

That pottery is STUNNING!
We have just had lithium batteries fitted, OMG what a game changer, we can watch telly past 8.30 pm 😂
Pottery throw down is one of my fav programmes, loved your pots, what a great pressie 🎉❤
Yesssss! Loving the lithium, we don’t ever need to run the engine now, unless we are actually cruising now, which is a complete game changer for us :) love the great pottery throw down! It is one of my favourite shows too!
One of my friends is a qualified pottery teacher, she made great stuff, she taught in a college, but left it to work in a museum now, she still dabbles I think, great job Ula 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🇬🇧xxx
Thank you so much!!! I absolutely love pottery and really hope to do it more in the future :)
Another great video this week! Interesting to learn about new things, such as anodes. The guys that did the blacking on your boat, and the electrician did a super job too. Look forward to next Sunday’s excursion 😊❤
Thanks lovely :) YEAH we feel super lucky to have found them all just by looking online and asking some friends!!! Really lucked out there x
WHAT FUN TO BE ABLE TO UPGRADE AND DO NECESSARY MAINTENANCE WITH PROFESSIONALS THAT CARE!!!.... WELL DONE, CANT WAIT TO SEE ALL THE NEW SPRITE UPGRADES. AND HOPEFULLY FIND A WAY TO RESTORE THE GLORIOUS PAINTING ON THE SIDES. BE BLESSED YA ALL!
We have finally done it!! We have painted the mural in on the side of the boat in our latest episode :) x
Hello Ula and Josh. Thumb up - energy! Good energy! Have a beautiful day. Bye. Rudi.
Hey Rudi! Thankyou 🙏 it's going to be so worth it!! 💓
What a brilliant vlog. The awesome pottery and also getting the blacking done too plus solar etc. Brilliant. Have a fab week.
It was a busy one :) thanks for coming along with us
Omg,that pottery was amazing 🤗💜
Supperrr cool hey !!

Fab episode- love to see the makeover . Looking forward to the bathroom too.
Thanks so much Gill x
Fantastic video. You must be delighted to have made so much. progress with your fabulous boat.
Can’t wait until next episode .
Cheers guys 🙏🏻
Thanks so much Alec :) we are super happy with the progress
The names welded into the anodes is such a nice touch!! 😊 & so happy you’ve got your electrics sorted. It really does make a huge difference!
Hehe weird to see us in the preview, excited to see it! 👋🏻😊
Hehehe yessss!! We just had to pop you two in there :) and how cute was Col to have welded our names on the boat!! ✨✨

Me tooooooo.... I can not wait to have a properly functioning bathroom again!
Everything looking great! Yes, keep yourself pampered. A video with your guys daily facial care and types of products you both use, would be nice 😊
Hey perhaps josh would be in to that!!! He does love a good pamper 😁
It’s like you are making a full episode of ‘Friends’ each week 😊 I don’t know how you pack it all in. Great work.
We bloody don't either hahaha!! Thankyou by the way, appreciate your observation on it, as there's alot to cram in to a week! Xx
Its fab when you get to grips with off grid living. Like i mentioned before we moved from England and bought some land up north ontario in the wilderness and built off grid. Yes it was overwhelming the first winter lol but we then we had an AMAZING SOLAR system and we never believed we could make 102% electricity in a day! It runs everything!!!! We have a super whisper generator that we only have to use on the odd very dull day in winter ( but dont forget eventhough we get lots of snow, the days sre VERY BRIGHT AND SUNNY, sunglasses a must). Now 2 winter , we have off grid living completely down pat! And so will you. ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR COMPOSTING TOILET LOL. IT never smells because 1 and 2s are seperate and a scoop of cedar shavingsplaced on top of 2s lol. Its the liveliest smelling toilet we have ever had ( and im a clean freak) so you will enjoy the composting loo. Great vlog and hoped you enjoyed you beer and nosh after a crazy week. Ps loved the pottery 😊❤
Sounds idyllic !! What a beautiful place to live :) how did you manage to emigrate there? Was it because of work?
Brilliant as always looking forward to next week 👍
Yeahhh thanks Ste x
This is amazing - thanks for showing us all the 'things' that are happening with your boat - really encouraging changes. The pottery process is terrific. The kiln reminds me of a Naan oven. Really beautiful results - shiny copper and turquoise glaze, and beautiful rich carbon. Thanks for the heads-up for the next episode
Absolutely love xxxx
That pottery baking was amazing. I had no idea that much heat was involved.
I like the adjustable brackets for the new solar panels. Really clever, and versatile design. Good progress being made.
Super cool hey ✨✨✨ really chuffed with the pottery results
What a thoughtful gift and your pottery was great the vlog was very good lots of different content well done both do tc now the oldies 🤗👋👍🤗👋👍
I am a lucky girl :)
That was amazing, turned out brilliant 💕
Aww thankyou Else 💓
Even I'm going to be relieved (no pun intended) when you get that compost toilet. 😂
I. CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!!!!
You got such a lot done this episode, happy cruising you two , 😁👍
Thanks Phillip x
Guys your smiles are a real tonic!
Thank you for sharing your story with us
🥰
Ahhh bless you SK, that's really kind of you to say!! Thank you for taking the time to write. We appreciate the interaction xx
Wow - look out Homes Under The Hammer - Ula and Josh are bringing a whole new meaning to it! Can't wait to see the finished shower room. Have a great relaxing evening in the pub and looking forward to seeing next week's adventures! xxx

A negative engine switch is a good addition to stop stray current finding its way to the hull.

There are always more things to add to the boat… we will get there slowly :)
Pottery is spectacular
Thanks so much!! I am very pleased with it x
Having watched you from the start, it warms my heart to see everything coming together for you and your lovely floating home! It's such a joy to come along on your journey. Huge hug! Tracy ☺️

Such a lovely couple. From Australia.
Hello Robert in Australia!! Sending lots of love over to you your end! X
@@UlaandJosh i am a woman uusing my husbands name to keep myself save. I watched from day one and your vlogs are wonderful.
Both pieces of pottery were beautiful, but the turquoise with copper is drop -dead!
Sooooo happy with how it turned out :)
What a wonderful life! I’m so jealous, but seriously happy you two are so well fitted to your new adventure. ❤
Ohhhh Brenda!!! Yes we are very lucky... it is not without its hardships but we are loving it so far :) x
The pottery was really cool. I hope you show us more of your work.

This was such a breath of fresh air. Love the pottery & especially the face lift on the boat.😀 Look forward to the next one.
Thanks so much Pam xx
That bathroom storage idea 👌🏽 With all DIY projects, just remember it gets worse before it gets better. You’ve got this 💪🏽
Appreciate that alot as we're not well practiced in DIY so it is a challenge, but very rewarding!
Your boat looks spiffy with its blackened hull and new solar panels. I can't wait to see your upgrade to your bathroom (head) when you're all done with that. Ula, your Raku pots are simply awesome! You did a terrific job with the glazes. Jenny
It was an epic upgrade :)
Absolutely great video guys, you both look so happy on your boat 😁 be safe be happy ❤️

@@UlaandJosh loved it 😀👍
Love seeing the pottery that Ula's doing. Did a spot of pottery myself in college along with weaving. Ula, have you done any weaving? So glad to hear that the hull is sound. That must be a comfort to you all. Looking forward to your further adventures on the canal and your side trips on land. Have a good week.
I have never done any weaving before… but it is definitely something I would really love to try one day ✨✨
@@UlaandJosh I started with a small flat loom in college, and worked up to a 4 harness, 36" wide table loom later on. You might have enough space for a flat loom. With Josh's talents as well as yours, I bet you could whip up a dandy one right there on board. But my real passion is quilting, from wall hangings to king size bed quilts. I love experimenting with color and patterns.
Hey Josh and ula just checking in with love and light from aka Billy Trips south Spain 🙏
Much love and light to you William x
Thats a lot of work for a few days, well done, and almost fully off grid. And personal name plates as well.
Still recovering over here 🥴😵💫😝😁
Happy Birthday Ula hope it was as amazing as you are🥳your work on the pottery is beautiful.
Thanks Catherine :) my birthday was back in February 😝 but we finally got around to getting me in for the course
Good vlog. May Peace Health and Happiness follow you and yours
Thanks Bill x
And the boat had a birthday too!
yessss she got a serious upgrade :) lucky thing 😜
Lovely pottery. I’m a Native American potter. I know what gos into the art. We call her Clay Lady. We say prayers before we start helping her form herself. She knows who she is we are the instrument she uses. I’m from New Mexico and part of the Pueblo tribe. We are well known for the pottery we produce. Enjoy the clay!💜😬🙏🏼
Ohhhhhh please send me a link to where ai can see some of your work… your method and approach sounds beautiful ✨✨✨
I don’t know if I’m online but my father is. Joseph Lonewolf . He also has a piece in the Smithsonian. He was very famous for his art. My aunt is Grace Medicine Flower. Our whole family’s pottery gos back generations. I learned from my father and my aunt and my grandfather, Camilo Sun Flower. It’s all in the family.
@@UlaandJosh don’t know if this got to you
I’m from USA North Carolina. I live near the tiny town of Seagrove which is known for its wonderful potters. They make the most amazing pottery and have for generations. I have always loved that clay can be transformed into such beauty.
@@UlaandJosh Look up Susan Romero
I love ceramics! Great job on the ones you made, they were beautiful. Have a wonderful week, see you next Sunday! Take care!
Thanks so much Ali xx I am so happy with them
Fabulous and loving the new chapter. X
Thankyou lovely 🙏🥰
A nother lovely video again this week thank guys x❤❤
Aww bless you Rose, thankyou for saying! Xx
Glad to hear the hull is in good shape 👍 loved the pottery...summer is nearly here guys...
Yeahhhhh we are loving the vibe along the cut when the sun comes out ☀️☀️☀️
Love you guys ~ you should purchase a buddy heater ~ in the US that's what we take camping and it's run off of propane ~ just in case an emergency ever comes up ~you'll have an alternate heating source
Thats a good shout... we have a diesel heater and a multi fuel stove on board... so we have two systems atleast for now :)
Another lovely vlog, love to you both
Thanks Steven x
You guys look so happy, no wonder why!
The Raku looked so fun and it's great to see how you'll benefit from the upgrades to the boat.
Very curious to know more about the anode thing though?
Thanks so much!! Really happy! But to be honest I am not the best to answer anything to do with anodes!! 🤪
All caught up so now like everyone else I await Sunday lol😊
Yeahhh so happy to have you along Paul x
You are doing a great job. I love watching your channel!😊
Thanks Steve x
Hi Ula Josh well that was so interesting watching you doing you potty it was interesting watching you with the feather on the bowl and the super colours it came out of the Kilm so so beautiful and interesting,so the boat is being blacked it’s a messy job but worth it in the long run you have some big solar panels what a difference they will make,the washing machine sure you will find a place somewhere for it ,I bet it is cold in there with no heat 😊 ,you boat is sure beginning to look really good so till next time take care keep safe and warm ,John 🌹🇬🇧👀😢🫢🤔🤫🫣😇😙😉☺️😗
I am so pleased with how the pottery turned out :) It was a big week wasn't it 🤪!!
Great episode this week, loads done, i thought josh had fallen in the toilet but it was a face pack😂 loved the pottery. Solar panels. Wow you won't know yourselves. Could you probably explain next week what those things do that was welded to the hull, i guess it something to do with electrolysis. Have a great week, already waiting for Sunday.
Hehehe!! Josh does love a good pamper! I don’t think we would do it justice if we tried to explain what anodes are 😝
Ho no 😮 just thinking about you guys as I look at what’s just come out of our bank account this month . £170 direct debit for our energy bill 😢. Your definitely doing the right thing. Love Trevor & Linda xxx
Ohhh guys, we really do feel for you! We've been there too! It's getting ridiculous. Don't get us wrong, we did have to invest thousands into this, but that's going to be it now 🙌
Ula Josh you are so doing the right thing. We both met late on in life and share the same loves. Number 1 walking the canel. Waiting for a hip replacement so you 2 are going to live the life that we would have loved. Trevor & Linda xxx
While you were taking the Propeller off pity you didn't have a weed cutter to put near the prop to slice those weeds and to prevent the prop getting tangled up.
Perhaps one day in the future hey :)
Great Video guys well done on your boat yard week it’s a tuff week long hours and hard work. Looking forward to seeing the bathroom and compost loo going in. 👍
Thanks so much Peter!! Stay tuned x
Great video Ula and Josh wow you certainly were busy but you must be so much happier with the solar and power now...ok I have no idea about blackening is it paint or like tar ?...I assume it's a waterproof coating though...what a nice pressie from Josh what a fabulous gift (Happy Birthday Ula)...thankyou for sharing xo 💜🇦🇺
I know.... I am a very lucky girl :) It is a bitumen coating! It needs to be redone every two ish years
@@UlaandJosh yes you definitely have found a keeper Ula...and yes thought it was bitumen does it have that horrible smell...I seriously hate driving on newly made road's yuck 🤷♀️
Well, I'm sorry, but I have to complain, that's just not good enough. 21 minutes and 30 seconds... it just isn't long enough 😉☺
Another great episode, thank you both. I had such a laugh over Josh's mud pack 🤣 The high light for me was at about 9:28 , the way you synchronised the music to the beat of the hammer against the hull was genius. I really appreciate the work that goes into the editing.
Can't wait for the next video, thanks for sharing both of you, 5⭐'s
Thanks so much Gordon!! Josh is always doing face masks 😝 he bloody loves them !! Thanks for the kind comments on the editing too xx
Really enjoyed this video glad your hull wasn't too bad can't wait for next
Thanks Phil!! Yeah luckily it’s in good condition :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤yay beautiful copper and turquoise..
Wasn't it just!! So amazing the result xx
