Just keep percivering you will get there, look on the bright side, get everything sorted and when you start cruising you can have a nice long well earned rest !
You both keep your spirits up so well in spite of all the hard work and frustration. You are always entertaining and I’d much rather watch you two than some perfect (unrealistic) depiction of narrow boat life. I hope you can get the essentials done soon and then spend a good few months cruising as you really deserve a wonderful summer on the canals.
Blesss you thanks so much for the love and support, a bit annoying with the tank, but will soon have a new one installed and at least we will know its the correct one ❤️❤️
The secret to using squeezy tubes - wrap the tail end of the tube around something like a large round screwdriver shaft. Basically anything round.Think a like a key on the old sardine tins. As you keep wrapping, it will squeeze material out more easily. It will also push out more of the product. Works for toothpaste too!
It's like owning a home on land. There is always something that needs fixing, or replacing. Don't let it get you down Chris. Summers coming and you guys will be out cruising before you know it
So there’s The Titan, Drilly Willy, Hatchy Hatchy, it then follows that the new sander needs a name…So, can I put forward a suggestion? How bout ‘Sandy W**ky?’ 😂🤣 That bread looked really good! I could almost smell it! Nothing much better than freshly baked bread, straight from the oven! 😋 Take care lovely pair! 😘❤️🌻
Love you guys, keep doing what your doing, don't give up, have fun, continue to make us laugh. Next time we see you in Spoons we will buy you both a beer or two ❤
Hi Chris and Bex. Sorry the water tank didn’t work out. Hope you get one sorted soon. Nice new sander though and at least you’re fine for kitchen roll 😂 Take care. Nick
Like my Dad used to say, keep going! I think the finish line is in sight. Just a few more disasters to get through. You keep us entertained and helps us get stuff right.
You could even write a book. How to up cycle a narrow boat and overcome any problem. The Crobot team will be able to hold their heads high and prove to people it's possible.@@TheNomadicCrobot
Definitely one of my favourite episodes - including the cookery insert - eat your heart out Egon Ronay! Yes that sanding technique was legendary!!!! PS Our pressure washer has now become known as 'the son of Titan' and has grown a 'I belong to the Nomadic Crobot' sticker!
Thank you, my dad actually said that to bless him, oh woaw.....maybe we need a little baby Titan too , oh woaw a sticker...we feel famous 😂thanks for watching 🥰😊
Hi Crobots. Just a quick tip on wood glue. Try West System. Its a 2 pack glue, stronger than mahogany itself. I built a boat with it. Loving the vlogs.😀
No negatives from me my lovelies ! Least each week is different and never boring ! I can’t wait for your vlogs / videos to drop!! 🎉 things are moving forward and cruising will happen this year I’m confident of that ! See ya soon botties ! Xx
Now the duck is back you can always cheer yourselves up by adding some orange source. Now that would add to your narrow boat cooking course. then there is also Swan with roasted root vegetables. 🙂 you've got to get put there before the canals all dry up and are turned in to cycle paths.
Chris, you just need to put a couple of cheap wooden dowels in the hatch to make it solid. Two in each join should do mate - then glue it all together with Evostick wood glue.
@@TheNomadicCrobot Hmm. Yeah, thinking about it mate - stay away from power tools/wood/glue & leave it to the pro- Bex. You stick to something safer... like baking bread. Love your channel. Wishing you both well & good luck! ❤
Idea: The Nomadic Crobot vs Boat Time for the Battle of the Incompetents. Meet up for a list of Routine Narrowboat Tasks to finally determine who, IN FACT, are the biggest pair of two-fisted numptys? Viewers could submit task ideas for the competition. Are you game? It would be wildly entertaining.
@@TheNomadicCrobot Yea, we love you and boat time. It would be so fun to have you all compete in some way that would be fun for all. We'd need to put something together to be fair and fun and funny. Imagine the possibilities. Lots of viewers!
OMG, hot water, hot water my kingdom for hot water. Don’t feel bad Chris, Henri is like Bex, he’s very handy but he sometimes screws up and he’s done it with the wall extension in the lounge room, he’s done a terrible job with the gyprock joining tape but I have faith, he’ll fix it, it may take him a month to get around to it but he will fix it. LOL. Another good laugh. Take care guys and see you soon. 💕
all this and if you are anything like us you will probably only shower about once a month when you are out on the cut anyway 😂 you got this guys keep going 👏🏻
After all these weeks i've realised its a CALORFIER tank.🙈 😂 I've been wondering why you wanted to chlorify your water, you can get that at the swimming baths.... 🤪 It used to be called a hot water cylinder in my day. My dad used to shout at me for switching it on. Then i had to wait for three hours for a coal fire to get it hot ! 😅
oh sorry, maybe I didnt explain it right, were probably nor pronouncing it right ether which doesn't help. haha thats brilliant...im going to have to shout at Becca when she turns it on 😂 cold water only 😂😂
Getting there dude, hang in there. The end is in site. Glad you got a sander in the end, gotta get the tool that feels right. NEVER unsubscribing btw, so there!!!!
you both will soon be cruising once the floating home has its bipolar sorted because we never know whats the next problem will be keep us all updated thanks for the great channel
Dear Chris and Bex OOO how I can empathize with your efforts and how Murphy keeps hanging around you lol. Bex you are much like my partner. Shawn's idea of a birthday present was not clothes or perfume it was a chain saw or brush saw. Do hope you enjoy YOUR new sander lol. Chris you would make a fine politician or a baker. How I look forward to your weekly entertainment guys. Big hugs to both of you and the Whistling Wombat. Mark Alberta, Canada
What a lovely comment Mark, and hi from the Uk, thanks for sticking with us on this some what disastrous journey ...but we will get the eventually, owwww a Politician could you imagine 😂😂 Thank for all the support ❤️❤️
Guys, Shawn and I did finish our home even though Murphy really wanted to move in but we locked him out lol. As long as you guys are putting out videos I will be on the other side of the screen. By the way we are moving out of winter, still have lots of snow, and saw the first geese for the season this morning. The local wild hare is changing her colour so Spring is sooo close. We are so envious of your flowers and warm weather etc @@TheNomadicCrobot
Bless you guys thank you so much, we're getting closer every day, a bit of a slow month, but the new tank is in the way, that will at least be one huge task finished, we can't wait to get going 😀
Does Chris look like a chimney sweep? YES! I nearly died laughing when ol Dick Van Dyke started leaping about....its the hat that does it. I am starting to think you are never going to get the boat finished to a standard at this rate. Two years ago I bought a Mk2 Audi TT that needed a lot of work doing to it. Engine - cambelt change, thermostat and major service, bodywork (scratches and dents) Interior leather restoration, work on the hood, and missing trim parts, no spare wheel etc....I am now finished and the car is in concourse condition more or less. Just got my new stereo to finish fitting tomorrow....Still, its your home and a lot more to do than a car. Good luck anyway....I am placing bets on this year being another drought and a water shortage / low canal levels come June / July despite most of the Uk being under water for the past four months as well....
It really has taken some time, but I suppose every narrow boaters journey is different and this is our journey, we need hot water and batteries then were good go, though this could still take a few months, so were just having fun doing what were doing, we didnt want to put to much stress on ether of us,im certain we will be ready this year, Thanks Simon ❤️❤️
@@TheNomadicCrobot Heh...I dont know how you manage without hot water. Those spider infested shower blocks are just creepy, reminds me too much of school changing rooms, cold wet floors and other horrors.....
We have a shower block at the marina thankfully, and have to heat any water on the hob, what a nightmare... but hot tanky water is just around the corner
I bet you can’t wait to get cruising. You’ll get there soon enough guys. If you look back at how much you’ve done, you’ve done amazing. We’ve been in our house nearly 12 years and still loads to do so you’re doing fantastic. Just keep on laughing and making us all laugh too. “Unsub and hit the thumbs down button.” Chris you’re hilarious! Love you 2 crazy people. Big hugs 🫂
Hi Estelle, cruising will be a whole new adventure...we are sure it will happen this year. weve maybe just got a bit stuck in the mud, hot water and running batteries and were good to go, the aim was may really though that seams a bit close. we have big big plans on what do with the channel once we go cruising, iv got a vision . Thank you always Estelle 😊❤️
@@TheNomadicCrobot It sure will! I Can’t wait to see what you have planned for when you’re cruising! And hope you cruise our way. We live right by canal so we will defo be offering you guys a nice dinner and a bottle of beer! Roll on summer, I’ve had enough of the cold now lol. Huge hugs and loads of good luck wishes. 🫂
Bless you Estelle what an offer thay we could never turn down, makes wanting to come to the canals so much sweeter. It's been such a sludge but we are getting there...it will happen very very soon we promise ❤️
And there was me, watching the video, Chris picks up the "Narrow boat Crobot Bread", expecting him to collapse on the floor (newly laid as it is) desperately clutching his throat, turning bright green and vomiting all over the floor.....but it did not happen, just a smile on his face. Something must have been wrong with recipe??? I thought that might happen. Then the sander, it did not even smoke, let alone burst into flames...In fact there were now't to laugh at all!! (Well there was really, but I did not want to admit that it was a very funny video ...again) - Looking forward to the next disaster and get some green face paint, you two, it adds authentic - icitttty
it didn't the bread actually went well, maybe it would have been a different story had I added my fine chilli seeds😂 narrowboat life does seam like one big disaster...especially when we talk to narrow boaters....its just we decide to have fun filming it.
You are actually doing very well, and I am sure beside the "showmanship" that you are BOTH quite skilled folk, as the finished work looks fine. Have fun in front of the camera, we all like to see that. But concentrate on the craftsman/woman ship, a bit like neat handwriting in a new exercise book. You WILL go cruising, believe me, and you Will enjoy it for sure!! Good luck and take care! Have faith, the boat Will be beautiful!!! John
I find myself watching @narrowboatwill and getting very very jealous of the crusing adventures...it looks.like such a lovely life, we're getting closer, yes we do play up a bit...you need to have fun with the disaster 😀 😅🤣
Now I know why this was late you where multitasking There is only one person on that about that can do that But you will be Cruising soon when she finishes all the work lol sorry 😂 good job
Hi Guys I’ve a really controversial idea for you. Instead of an endless rescheduling of your departure to cruise the cut, you set a definite date and stick to it come what may. It will focus your minds and let’s face it, no boat is ever entirely free of outstanding jobs. Life is too short to spend it on a marina.
Once we have hot water and can shower and get some batteries to charge from the engine we will but until then those are 2 things that need to be done before cruising really, these smaller jobs are just filler while we sort the main issues out and wait for a new tank to arrive
Sorry guys, but it's goodbye from me. I've been loyal from the start, but enough is enough. I've no hair left, and for the sake of my sanity, I'm going to have to jump ship. I wish you the best of luck for the future. ❤
All narrow boats have issues of some sort or another. Even brand new build ones. A survey tells hopefully how good the steel work is or bad. This is your decision to buy or not. Everything else in the boat is going to be a lucky or not gamble that is the reality of narrow boating. A survey on your boat might have persuaded you both to walk away. All the other stuff your dealing with is required to update. Our boat is old and we cannot ever think of updating changing what we have . We live with it accepting it for what it is. Buying a second hand boat is always a compromise on what you really would like or want. It is this point about buying a narrow boat is set in stone. A wealthy person who knew nothing about narrow boating would have one build up to the design of the builder and only after taking delivery of said boat might you realise that it's not exactly what you wanted. We got a chap two boats down from us who this outcome has happened. We have been on board and seen builders errors after spending £120k + You both have the energy and will to achieve your dream albeit taking longer than you hoped I am sure. You can only go so far then you have to accept.
your not wrong, we got it in covid when surveys were harder to get, though still should have pushed for one, the previous survey had actually missed the big leak in the first place. we will get there a bit of a slow start to the year and money is really starting to run low so were preying for summer . what a long old journey for a new "fun" life style 😂😂
Don’t use the F word. “Fail” that is. Owning a boat has its ups and downs, and your big “up” is you can tackle everything yourselves without spending big money on paying someone else. You’re getting there, slower than you’d hoped but you’re getting there.
thats it thankfully we habvt spent much on costs as weve managed to do it all ourselves, unfortunately there are marina fees what make things alot harder but o far weve managed to just about keep the project going 😊🥰❤️
Chris, grow up, stop larking about and get on with pulling your weight and helping Becks. She is carrying this refurbishment on her own and carrying you
If you would like to help support our channel you can buy us a coffee www.buymeacoffee.com/nomadiccrobot Thank you!
I'm 100% positive that you will be full time cruisers by 2032. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
😂😂😂😂 fingeres crossed
😂😂😂😂
😂
Apart from everything that just don´t go your way, I think you are doing fine.
After all; the duck is back
Thank you so much, its been a long journey and we will get there, may as well have fun doing it 😊🥰
Oh I love watching you two. Thank you so much for sharing your diy projects. You make me laugh out loud with your humour.
Thank you so much for joining us on this crazy adventure ❤️
You two are doing great. Both of you are great singers and guitar players.
Thank yo Garyl ❤️❤️
Yummy that bread looked delicious😁 Well done guys FUN video👏🏼💜
Thanks for watching Sunny 😊🥰
Just keep percivering you will get there, look on the bright side, get everything sorted and when you start cruising you can have a nice long well earned rest !
thats the way to look at it, it will happen soon, just need this new tank and some batteries and fingers crossed we can get going
You both keep your spirits up so well in spite of all the hard work and frustration. You are always entertaining and I’d much rather watch you two than some perfect (unrealistic) depiction of narrow boat life. I hope you can get the essentials done soon and then spend a good few months cruising as you really deserve a wonderful summer on the canals.
Blesss you thanks so much for the love and support, a bit annoying with the tank, but will soon have a new one installed and at least we will know its the correct one ❤️❤️
Chin up guys, you'll get there. There used to be a boat on your marina that had a little duck house (like a floating kennel)
oh woaw....maybe thats why they like us so much
The secret to using squeezy tubes - wrap the tail end of the tube around something like a large round screwdriver shaft. Basically anything round.Think a like a key on the old sardine tins. As you keep wrapping, it will squeeze material out more easily. It will also push out more of the product. Works for toothpaste too!
woaw I like the sound of those, what a great idea, makes things so much easier , thanks for your comment
It's like owning a home on land. There is always something that needs fixing, or replacing. Don't let it get you down Chris. Summers coming and you guys will be out cruising before you know it
your not wrong, once we have hot water and the batteries charging were outa here
Heads up....will be alright. Best wishes, Deb
Thank you Deb ❤️
So there’s The Titan, Drilly Willy, Hatchy Hatchy, it then follows that the new sander needs a name…So, can I put forward a suggestion? How bout ‘Sandy W**ky?’ 😂🤣
That bread looked really good! I could almost smell it! Nothing much better than freshly baked bread, straight from the oven! 😋
Take care lovely pair! 😘❤️🌻
that actually made me laugh out loud...sandy wa***y...brilliant...watch this space. Take care Thanks so much ❤️❤️

Chris, your comedy is spot-on!
Thanks, glad someone finds it funny 😅🤣🤣
Love you guys, keep doing what your doing, don't give up, have fun, continue to make us laugh. Next time we see you in Spoons we will buy you both a beer or two ❤
Hi Lisa, awww bless you its always so lovely to se you both out, we should defo share a few drinks next Time were up that way ❤️❤️
Hi Chris and Bex. Sorry the water tank didn’t work out. Hope you get one sorted soon. Nice new sander though and at least you’re fine for kitchen roll 😂 Take care. Nick
fingers crossed qet get a new one sent out soon, this year has been very slow, lets hope things start moving quicker, thanks Nick
Chin up guys, things will get better and you will be cruising over the summer 😃
we really need to get going this year, the last few bits hopefully
😂😂😂😂😂 I just love the dead pan face Bex when she said”this feels a bit familiar”
😂😂😂😂 shes used to it by now
Just think you are strangling Chris the the filler will shoot out the tube 😂😂😂
🤣😂🤣 Interesting idea! I like it!!!!!
Like my Dad used to say, keep going! I think the finish line is in sight. Just a few more disasters to get through. You keep us entertained and helps us get stuff right.
thats it only a few more disasters and we will be at the finish line 😂😂

Heavy rains are coming, so the rivers going to be up. 😮
Take care guys. ❤
haha spot on Will, oh really thats something fun to look forward too, its never ending, take care buddy
I feel your pain. Sending big happy vibes😊😊
thank you Simon 🥰
That bread looks so good youre a natural!
it came out really really , Thanks
Hi Crobots. Just a quick tip on wood glue. Try West System. Its a 2 pack glue, stronger than mahogany itself. I built a boat with it. Loving the vlogs.😀
so interesting thank you 😊
No negatives from me my lovelies ! Least each week is different and never boring ! I can’t wait for your vlogs / videos to drop!! 🎉 things are moving forward and cruising will happen this year I’m confident of that ! See ya soon botties ! Xx
Bless you Mandy, your comments are always so kind, were a little way off but we will get going one day, im confident it will happen this year xx
Now the duck is back you can always cheer yourselves up by adding some orange source. Now that would add to your narrow boat cooking course. then there is also Swan with roasted root vegetables. 🙂
you've got to get put there before the canals all dry up and are turned in to cycle paths.
mmmmmm yum yum....fresh meat to cook up.....its like having your very own farm 😂😂😂
I always say if my hubby does one job it always turns into another! It's like the fourth bridge!
One job after another! Boating life 🤪
your not wrong at all
Chris, you just need to put a couple of cheap wooden dowels in the hatch to make it solid. Two in each join should do mate - then glue it all together with Evostick wood glue.
I dont think Bex will let me anywhere near it 😂😂 but thank you for your tips
@@TheNomadicCrobot Hmm. Yeah, thinking about it mate - stay away from power tools/wood/glue & leave it to the pro- Bex. You stick to something safer... like baking bread. Love your channel. Wishing you both well & good luck! ❤
Haha your not wrong...bit even a baking try can be dangerous at times 😅
Bread looked lovely!
Thank you
These guys are the funniest... Love each episode of your latest calamaties 🎉😛
Thank you so much what a lovely comment ❤️❤️
Awwww dear what bad luck do hope sorted soon so u can go off cruising all our best the oldies tc
Now🤗🤗👍👍🌹🌷

Idea: The Nomadic Crobot vs Boat Time for the Battle of the Incompetents. Meet up for a list of Routine Narrowboat Tasks to finally determine who, IN FACT, are the biggest pair of two-fisted numptys? Viewers could submit task ideas for the competition. Are you game? It would be wildly entertaining.
poor Becca she tries so hard, I dont think I have the heart to break the news to her
@@TheNomadicCrobot Yea, we love you and boat time. It would be so fun to have you all compete in some way that would be fun for all. We'd need to put something together to be fair and fun and funny. Imagine the possibilities. Lots of viewers!
We're would the fun be in the video if everything went perfectly, keep it and don't do as I did forget to put a sanding disk on....lol
exactly...I cant help think this is what its always going to be like ten when we go cruising
Travis Perkins owns Wickes..dunno about now but they used to make really good tools.
thats interesting
OMG, hot water, hot water my kingdom for hot water. Don’t feel bad Chris, Henri is like Bex, he’s very handy but he sometimes screws up and he’s done it with the wall extension in the lounge room, he’s done a terrible job with the gyprock joining tape but I have faith, he’ll fix it, it may take him a month to get around to it but he will fix it. LOL. Another good laugh. Take care guys and see you soon. 💕
Hi Pauline, I always screw up unfortunately but in the end I get there, poor Henri I feel for him, have a lovely week ❤️😊🥰
Ladbrook's are taking bets, for when you go cruising
place bets now 😂
all this and if you are anything like us you will probably only shower about once a month when you are out on the cut anyway 😂 you got this guys keep going 👏🏻
haha your probably not wrong, are we even ever going to use the shower??? 😂😂😂 Thanks guys ❤️
After all these weeks i've realised its a CALORFIER tank.🙈 😂

I don't even know how you do say it.
Youre braver than me for trying !

Hi from the UK, Thank you 😊🥰❤️

You should use a biscuit jointer on your hatch edgings , & I did tell you Newark copper cylinders is the go to for califiers 😊
oh thats interesting thank you for the information
Did you check the fuse on the old sander?
Yeah the fuse seems to be ok, the motor has been burnt out I think ☹️
you both will soon be cruising once the floating home has its bipolar sorted because we never know whats the next problem will be keep us all updated thanks for the great channel
It does seam to be one thing after another, but we will get there, I suppose this is our path 😂😂

Thanks for this ❤️😀👍
I assumed you checked the fuse in the faulty sander, or that a thermal fuse hasn’t just reset in the sander
it seams to be more that just the fuse, the whole mechanism seems broken 😳
love your videos. i get so excited waiting for one to appear lol
Thank you so much for the love and support ❤️❤️
Sopranella is most likely making a hidden nest somewhere :)
owwww how exciting
chin up chris you be cruising soon
maybe 😂😂
Try mount the door on smaller sheet of plywood.
that could work thank you

Did the duck go in your boat?!🦆
she did indeed 😊😀
@@TheNomadicCrobot hahaha brilliant!!!!!! She is officially your pet now!
She's mine 😅🤣
Hi Guys
I’ve a really controversial idea for you. Instead of an endless rescheduling of your departure to cruise the cut, you set a definite date and stick to it come what may. It will focus your minds and let’s face it, no boat is ever entirely free of outstanding jobs.
Life is too short to spend it on a marina.
Once we have hot water and can shower and get some batteries to charge from the engine we will but until then those are 2 things that need to be done before cruising really, these smaller jobs are just filler while we sort the main issues out and wait for a new tank to arrive
You are the next naked chef
yayyyyy
Sorry guys, but it's goodbye from me. I've been loyal from the start, but enough is enough. I've no hair left, and for the sake of my sanity, I'm going to have to jump ship. I wish you the best of luck for the future. ❤
Thank you Roy for your support through the years, can we recommend @boattime and @narrowboatwill two great channels
Technically Bex the sander lasted a lifetime its lifetime
thats a good way at putting it 😂
All narrow boats have issues of some sort or another. Even brand new build ones.
A survey tells hopefully how good the steel work is or bad. This is your decision to buy or not.
Everything else in the boat is going to be a lucky or not gamble that is the reality of narrow boating.
A survey on your boat might have persuaded you both to walk away.
All the other stuff your dealing with is required to update. Our boat is old and we cannot ever think of updating changing what we have . We live with it accepting it for what it is. Buying a second hand boat is always a compromise on what you really would like or want. It is this point about buying a narrow boat is set in stone.
A wealthy person who knew nothing about narrow boating would have one build up to the design of the builder and only after taking delivery of said boat might you realise that it's not exactly what you wanted.
We got a chap two boats down from us who this outcome has happened.
We have been on board and seen builders errors after spending £120k +
You both have the energy and will to achieve your dream albeit taking longer than you hoped I am sure.
You can only go so far then you have to accept.
your not wrong, we got it in covid when surveys were harder to get, though still should have pushed for one, the previous survey had actually missed the big leak in the first place. we will get there a bit of a slow start to the year and money is really starting to run low so were preying for summer . what a long old journey for a new "fun" life style 😂😂
I've just looked at your video list titles and it seems to me that most are sensationalised to try to get more views.
oh god yes...we are very dramatic , but all thumbnails are pretty much true as well
And I do not watch for the cruising…you guys provide entertainment and ideas.
Thank you for your lovely words ❤️❤️
Don’t use the F word. “Fail” that is. Owning a boat has its ups and downs, and your big “up” is you can tackle everything yourselves without spending big money on paying someone else. You’re getting there, slower than you’d hoped but you’re getting there.
thats it thankfully we habvt spent much on costs as weve managed to do it all ourselves, unfortunately there are marina fees what make things alot harder but o far weve managed to just about keep the project going 😊🥰❤️
Chris, grow up, stop larking about and get on with pulling your weight and helping Becks. She is carrying this refurbishment on her own and carrying you
can I interest you in some off my chilli bread Harry ??
You have to laugh just a bit as poo will happen a lot .
2034.
god and the rest
Tell you yoga videos within a year from now 😅…
watch this space 😂😂
You guys are the most negative i have ever watched you cup always empty!!!!
Yup we are terrible human beings
Why is most of this stuff repeated all the time it’s getting boring now put some original stuff on
Unfortunately we can only really put out what we're working on, sorry its boring
Bex get rid of Chris
yayyy get rid of meeeee
Why? They compliment one another very well! Let’s get rid of ol’ Roger!! 😂
