I hate being cold. Glad you sorted it out.
Well done Bex, you’ve done a brilliant job, even with Chris’s help. Your stove looks amazing now xx
Aww thank you so much, that's really kind of you to say. I've just got a few little finishing touches left now but I'm really pleased with it ☺️
Thanks for hours and hours of great viewing… a late and tiny Xmas present to fund some firefighters ;)
Bless you, thank you so much for this, so kind ❤️❤️
What a fabulous job you've done..looks amazing. Now get ready for spring cruising guys. ❤❤
Thanks so much Mr 🥰 Hope you're all good and look forward to slow mo racing along the cut with you later in the year 😂😜
Congratulations both of you, well Ms Crobot mainly ❤️ 😅
A superb job well done there with the fire 🔥 👏
Aww thanks very much. We are both chuffed with how it's come out 🥰 and so happy to be warm again!!!
Looks great young lady just nice and neat as it should be . Happy trails.
Thank you😊😀
This what makes you one of the best Narrowboat channels out there.
Coffee or two on its way in the morning. 💋
what a lovely comment, thank you 😊😀 and thank you so much for the coffee it really helps so much, hope you have. a lovely week 😊❤️
You guys have done a phenomenal job - Becs with her ingenuity and skill and Chris with his support and growing skills, topped with that crazy sense of humour. A win all round 👏👏👏👏
awww thank you so much, we made a great team, thanks for all the support
I have a suggestion for you guys. If you get some flexible thin copper pipe and spiral it up the chimney to about 15 to 20 times then connect each end to your central heating circuit (if you have one yet) and Bob's your dads brother, you'll have central heating. It will need a small electric pump somewhere in the circuit too and not too near the stove itself otherwise it will melt. Hope this helps............
That's so interesting, what a fascinating way of getting heat around the boat, eventually this is what a back boiler does for rhe stove though we have heardvthere not very reliable, thanks for your comment
Hooray! Finally the stove is done - now you can stay warm. Well done Becks!
Ahh the warmth is so nice! Thank you 😊
It is getting a bit nicer now with the weather EXACTLY. LOL
Thank you
Many people posted about narrow boat life. But you're style editing is amazing. I subscribed
Thank so much for joining the disaster 😅
@@TheNomadicCrobot I’ve been going through a flood in Egham with my boat 😎🤣
Hi Becca, Chris, Wow, how lovely you have made everything look. What an amazing job you have done with the stove. It's Fantastic. I love, yet again that Becca explains to us all what she is doing, what her plan of action is, and Becca always comes thru with the goods. And we all listen to Becca's every word. I'm thinking "Training Videos" !!!!!! Chris, you are amazing with the support you give to Becca when she has all her genious ideas, you never say no, and always give her every praise. But once again Chris, I must comment on this weeks edit, which was very slick and clever, so many little tiny touches (which can take ages to sync up) which only a professional could do, be it video or audio, even down to an odd note from a track just to create an atmosphere. I loved your closing speech, it made me feel all emaotional. It sounds like your an excellent script-writer too. Such a nice polished video from two lovely people. Thank you. Spoolbox
Thank you so much, didnt bex do amazing, such a clever cookie. woaw that would be a great shout...I cant wait to see what bex creates out on our cruises. aww bless you what a compliment thanks for noticing as always. it was a bit emotional wasn't it Thank you for all the love it really makes it all worth while ❤️
Well done guys, looks really nice. Having married a builders daughter I can sympathise with Chris sometimes feeling a little like a spare part! 28 years later I can testify that being an inch from idiocy and keeping the maestro supplied with tea, as well as finding the odd thing you are good at, in my case demolition with minimum impact elsewhere works out just fine. Looking forward to seeing whats next!
its hard to keep up with Bex, shes a force, but I do make a good supper so just have to make sure shes fully stocked , thanks for all the support, were getting there
Guys, Fantastic job with the completed stove absolutely amazing.
Wishing you all the very best for 2024 Cruising the canal and river's network.
🥰xx
Thank you so much , we are finally warm 😊😀
well done Becks ohh and the bloke who does the camera work 😂😂 looks great and i bet it feels cosy now
haha camera duty is a force to recon with....you need strong arms 😂😂 thanks so much for watching
Well done Chris looks fantastic..Bex's is a very lucky woman to have a diy maestro like yourself .👍
😂🤣😂 Haha! Absolutely!!
😂😂😂
Beck's you need to put a fire blanket rap around the pip going in the hole.😊
Oh wow, I never knew about this! Thanks so much for the suggestion. Il defo keep an eye on the rope and should it need replacing, get some of this stuff. Many thanks again 😊 x
I’ve only gone and stayed up late for a little cheeky slice of Crobot! You continue to make my life better - thank you 🙏
yayyyyy Thanks for all the love ❤️ it makes it all worth while
Brilliant! We'll done to both of you. Becks for doing the work and Chris for amazing support. Happy New Year
Thanks so much 🥰
Yeah🎉🥳🎇 🏅 It is going to be your year!!! Did James ever get back to you? You did great…both of you! Teamwork! Can’t wait to see the videos of you crushing….with hot water 💦
😊🤗 Kathy
Surly this is the year we can cruise, no we haven't heard from James will be interesting to bump onto all these lovely channels on our cruises
It has been a dreadful period over the festering season. It makes me feel happy to see you guys again. xx
awww bless you, thanks for all the support
Me to.
Well done both of you. The stove and its surround are stunning. The Wombat has really come along way. Can't wait to see your vlogs when your out on the cut
it really has come a long way, this is our year for cruising fingers crossed, thanks for all your support
Wow! Super job! Congrats you guys. Well done you..(Bex)
I'm so chuffed, finished we have warmth, Thank you 😊
Nice job guys, its always satisfying once you have done some hard work and can sit back and admire it and how much you have saved rather than having someone else do it
we got there there in the end, all Beccas hard work paid off...now onto the next project....warm water
Hi Chris and Bex. Well done for completing the stove. It looks excellent. So glad you’ve now got some warmth. In this weather you’ll need it! Take care. Nick
Thanks Nick hasn't Bex done great, we finally have warmth so so happy have a lovely week 😀👍😊
So happy for you. Looks great. Looking forward to the next project. Best wishes, Deb
Thanks so much Deb. Sending good wishes right back to you 😊
You’re very brave to tackle all these jobs, especially the flue through the roof. I hope it gets the seal of approval. 🤞
Thank you, im well chuffed 😊
I think "stuffing rope down" is called caulking, normally used by shipwrights to seal against water but purpose is the same. Go Bex!
caulking...thats interesting, thanks for letting us know😊😀
You guys 😊 lol had another school girl giggle! James I’m sure would have helped you guys! He’s on his second project narrow boat. He’s as lovely as you two ! Hope you both had a good Christmas and let’s hope this will be the happiest of new years !!! ( it will be because you’ll be sailing away in to the sunset very soon !) lol love you guys xxx
Haha!!! Glad to hear the laughter caught you Mandy! Ahh he does seem like such a lovely chap! Thank you so much and the same to you too. Fingers crossed for some cruising in the not too distant future 🤞 xxx
Awww looks flipping marvellous guys! Fantastic job Bex! 🤗
And, yep, this year is definitely you pairs! Can’t wait to see you cruising! See what mayhem you create (in a nice way, of course)! 🤣
Take care lovely pair! 😘❤️🌻
Thank you, Bex done so well, now to get some hot water running through the boat then off to live happily ever after on the canals 😂❤️
Great work and perseverance guys! Happy new year!
Thanks so much. Happy New Year to you too 😊
Well done x the transformation is unbelievable, you hard work has payed off x😊
Thank you so much, hasn't Bex done outstanding 😊
You’ve done an absolutely brilliant job Becs but maybe you should just use the stick 😋
exactly.....why won't she grab that bloody stick!!!!
Hey
.this is our 1st message..we absolutely love you two guys and gals..cant wait to see you on the wet and wild canals of the Great UK.. but fingers ceossed..beat that bloody bridge....roll on 2024...
And you've done an amazing job on the fireplace....enjoy....you both deserve it.....🎉🎉
awww thank you so much, its been a long hard road but 2024 will be our year, im not sure how much more we can take ❤️❤️
It’s certainly a mine field
Good effort you guys
Cheers James X 👍
I think it looks really good, you have both done a great job! Well done.
Thanks so much 😊
Well done guys looks FANTASTIC😁👏🏼💜
Thank you so much ❤️
Great job Becks.
When you go cruising you need to have a launch . Bottle of champagne smashed on the bow ,or equivalent.
Bravo chaps
that sounds like an awesome idea...im going to get very very drunk , cheers Dave
Great job, look really nice and love the copper finish, don’t forget for BSS you need to secure the burner to the floor. 😊
Thanks so much and also for the reminder. We are planning to do that soon just putting it off for fear of the tile cracking! Fortunately we do have a special drill bit just for the job but still scary!! 😂
Next time you redo a flue use twin wall flue pipe that has a built in air gap to stop burning. Great job there though
Thanks so much 😊 We did talk about this but the twin flue was a bit out of our budget for the moment so decided to stick with what we had already with the intention of maybe replacing it in the future with twin flue! Thanks so much for your comment 😊
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 nice job..well done Bex.. and Chris of course..
I guided Becca very well 😂😂 thanks for watching
@@TheNomadicCrobot team work mate thats what its all about...hope everything ok with the floods
Hey guys! We just finished binge watching every single video! Awesome content and great seeing things improve slowly! It's my girlfriend's birthday today and we are in st Neots! Can we buy you a coffee or beer in the mill? X
Hi guys, thank you so much for the support and Happy Birthday ,We've got arrangements with friends today unfortunately, if you down any other time give us a heads up and we can try to arrange to meet you😃
Yeah sorry, was just an ad-hoc jaunt around for the day. Next time, more notice and I'll bring a box of your fave cro-bottles to help your hard work along😅 x
Just found your channel. I love the way, you are keeping it real,not just showing all the good times. Good luck in the future and I hope all starts going the way and you can enjoy your narrowboat and the canal’s.
thanks for joining and welcome to the party, yes our narrowboat life has been anything but calm and peaceful , cant wait to get cruising though 😀
I don't have a boat. and given your experience ,there will never be one either lol. enjoyed the video thank's.
I think we pulled a short straw.....a very very short one.. im pretty sure once we get going it will be amazing
Enjoy enjoy the pennies guys. Just get out cruising soon Xx gadgit xx
you are to kind, thank you so much ❤️❤️
Guess who is glad (apart from you two of course)! Another milestone is passed and your actual journey will soon start.
Gratulations!
Thank you so much! You're always there to support us and it's much appreciated!
If it was in a house I think the regs say single skin flue pipe has to be 3x it's diameter away from combustibles, ie wood...
Id be tempted to fit twin wall flue a foot or so down from the ceiling and through to outside. This will reduce the distance to combustibles to 50mm of memory serves? It also helps prevent cold plugs of air in your flue, poor combustion and the build up of creosote in the flue. I'm sure what you've done is safe, it just depends what the tester says.
Yeah this is it. It makes it hard to translate into boat conditions as some stuff is just not practical on a boat. When I measured out where it should be in accordance to house regs, it would mean the flue would have to be situated in the middle of the doorway or something equally daft!! We did deliberate changing the whole flue to a twin flue which is something we might do in the future but our old flue was absolutely cemented onto the stove there was no way it was budging without being cut off. We decided to stick with it for now and revisit that in the future when we have more time and it's not so cold! Thanks so much for your helpful suggestions though, that's really useful to know 😊
Huge congratulations! You smashed it out of the park! You did it 🧑🏻🍳👌🏻The whole stove area looks fantastic and and it’s such a huge relief that you both are now in a cosy home again. In some ways thank goodness the rebuild stalled so that you both weren’t out on the cut with these crazy floods and having to deal with the stress and worry that the CC’s are having to go thru right now. So stoked for you both, let’s hope 2024 sees you both enjoying being out on the cut in your finished(these things are never truely finished 🫣😄) floating home Having fun on your traveling adventures 🤗🎊🎉🥳🎊🤗
It's all Becca bless her...she has a great mind for this sort sort of thing. You have a very good point...some area are very chaotic...at least the marina is quite safe. the river next to it is out of control..finghers crossed 2024 is our year Thank you
Great job Becks.. you nailed it... very professional looking jobby. Well thought out.. Looks outstanding.. Enjoy the warmth it will produce..😊🤗🍺🍻
SO proud of here, I cant stop looking at it, we finally have heat yayyyyy 😊😀😍
Nice jobs guys. Have you ever heard of a recoheat ? I got one in my cottage. It will turn your let's say 5kw stove into a 10kw stove . Brilliant peice of kit , I can heat my 3 bedroom cottage with my multi fuel stove without turning on the oil and thats not even running my stove 24/7
Wow this sounds fascinating, I'll definitely have a look into them. Thanks so much for mentioning it 🙂
Aww that looks class!!! Well done bex!😍😍
Thank you so much ☺️
Well done bex you done an amazing job on the fire place and I best not forget Chris lol you done an amazing job at being very entertaining as normal lol 😂. Keep up the good work guys you’re both great to watch. I bet you two are both bloody happy you got some heat again.
Ahh we can't tell you how nice it is to have some warmth in the place again! Thanks so much for your lovely comments 😊
Bolt it to the floor and you have a lovely new stove ready for the BSS. Well done😎
Thank you so much! Yes we just need to get round to doing that bit next. Let pray for no cracking of the tiles! 😂
Once again Bravo ! Happy new year ! And lots of building adventures for this year !
Thanks so much! Happy New Year to you too 😊
Well done, Becca.
Thank you ❤️
Standing ovation for Bex. Looks fantastic 👏 👏 👏 👏
Girl got skills 😊
Aww thank you so much 😊🥰 that's so lovely of you to say. I never have any idea what I'm doing really, I just give things a go! Hope you guys are all good and out of the flood zones? Xx

Ahh thanks so much for watching 😊 We are pretty pleased with the stove for sure! Ahh fingers crossed it won't be long now!! 😊
Brilliant job well done Bex and Chris of course
Thanks so much! 😊
Super Bex strikes again. Just don't let her near the kryptonite. Otherwise, her super strength powers will be lost. Well holed with the hole Bex. x
She really done well, god knows how we would do with out her, superb go ❤️😀👍
You guys rock! It all looks so good. Happy New Year!
Aww thanks so much! Happy New Year to you too ☺️
You're fire's fine ours just has fire resistant silicone and fire rope round the hole in the ceiling 😊

Fab channel, love watching you guys and DIY skills and ideas ❤
Thank you for joining us on our adventure 😀 😊
Well done both and a happy new year
Thank you happy new year 🎉
Well done guys. Your positive attitudes are truly inspirational 👍
glad it comes across that way, thank you 😊
Very nice job. You two are knocking it out of the park.
Cheers 🍻 😀❤️
The fireplace looks great, well done guys. Hopefully you are alright after the recent floods nearby ?
were actually very safe In the marina thanks so much
Well done! x
Thank you x
Yay congratulations. An snuggly warm boat. Happy 2024 🎉
Thank you so much 🥰 It's been so nice to have some warmth ❤️ Happy New year to you x
Becs you are amazing!
Aww thank you 😊
You are doing a great job , love your channel
Thank you so much for the love and support ❤️
Nice one bex you have done a nice job 10 out 10
didnt she do amazing 😍
Congratulations! You actually completed a task lol
Hahaha! I know! Who'd have thunk it possible!! 😂
Look amazing well done. Remember to fasten the stove down as well they can move if you hit a bridge 😂
Thanks so much 😊 Yeah we just need to get round to doing that bit! It will be nerve wracking just in case anything goes wrong and the tile splits but we have the right bits for the job so fingers crossed! 🤞
Well done on your completely over the top stove fitting the only thing the bss examiner will check is that there is no smoke (co2) leaking inside the boat and that the stove is screwed down tightly.(can see that has not been done in the video)The rest of what you have done is just for your own peace of mind
Haha! Why thank you! You are right to some degree however when you saw the level of charring of the wood next to the stove it was clear it needed some work or else it was in danger of going up one day as it was getting worse. It was a poor installation of the stove in the first place to be honest which is what lead to these problems. Better to be safe than sorry ey! Happy New year!
Wow…super nice!
Thank you 😊
What a brilliant surprise for Chris Bex, all looks great. Henri wants a wood heater in his shed, ummm don’t think so, a lot of work. Stay safe guys and thinking of you. 💕
aww bless him, we went a bit mad with this one, we could have done it faster but wanted to go a bit posh, hasn't Bex done great thanks so much for watching Pauline
Well done both of you, Bex in particular. Very innovative and practical way of working. Are you going to put a cowl on top of the flue?
Thank you so much ☺️ Yes we will indeedy!
Well done guys looks amazing you taught her well Chris top man lol
exactly....shes learning 😂
As always, y’all did great!!!
Thank you 😊 we're getting there I think 🤔
Finally done. Turned out to be very nice.Just wondering if you plan to tile or put molding on the open edges against the wall?
well spotted there are a few extra bits like that that Bex is planning to do 😀
Exerlent job guys
why thank you 😊
Brilliant job you two keep it going
Thanks so much 😊
❤ my favourite couple ❤
You are to kind 🥰
Very well done Bex and very well done Chris for keeping out the way haha. Only joking mate well done to the both of you 👍❤
