    I’m a retired carpenter and I’d say you have done great .Your channel is very real and I can well imagine the ups and downs involved in the renovation . Well done to you both 👍😊

    My wife and I came across your channel by accident, so glad we did... just finished binging EVERY episode. So proud of both of you for putting yourselves out there and taking on what would be a daunting project for pretty much anyone. Of course we've both subscribed as we can't wait to see the boat finished and the adventures you will both enjoy in it 💙

    When the boat is finished, you two will sit back with a cup of tea, and just smile at each other. You won't say a word, but each of you will know.

    Good Lord what a smashing couple you are. I wish you all the very best for your exciting adventure. My own lovely wife and I just about at the same stage as you with our build but our plan is to retire onto the boat. All the very best to you. We will be following your every post x

      Thank you. I'm still working Monday to Friday at the moment so only have the weekends. Of late though its been quite dry and sunny during the week and pouring of a weekend. So frustrating. So much to do. Thankfully the owner of the field its in is very kind to us. We should be on the water about this time next year but by then it will be too wet to get a crane in to lift it so realistically we're aiming for spring '25

    Great to see you both back on the boat. The water turned out to be a non issue that was good to see. I can see you both overcoming the glitches as you have done before many times just waiting for you to finish the work then the fun will begin. Stay safe and keep smiling Ed 40 S of Vegas

    Brilliant teamwork - you are fantastic and love your cooker. What a perfect size. Every best wish.

  • @alanjohn6355
    @alanjohn6355 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Good to see you back, and I think I agree on the lines sometimes not being perfect, it's an old boat, so it's never going to be 100% perfect, but then I also agree that if you know its out of line you will see it every time. Do love that as you film the cooker being fitted that someone outside was filming you as well, do hope you know them 🤔🤔

  • @garethross459
    @garethross459 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Awesome work guys, looking great. Don’t forget, for BSS all LPG joints need to be accessible for inspection, that may mean building in access holes in the sides of the cabinets to they can be reached. I noticed the cooker connection as you were dropping it into place. Keep up the great work, enjoying watching.

    • @garethross459
      @garethross459 Před 11 měsíci +1

      ….you could also unscrew the cooker and pull it forward to access the final connection on BSS day 😊

    • @mike-driftwoodfolk2651
      @mike-driftwoodfolk2651 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Thanks for your comment ....we are getting there haha 😅 ah yes ... The space under the cooker we are gonna leave open and put a half shelf in so we can access all fittings but the oven/hob will be movable for test day haha

    Good team work there. Its going to look fabulous 😊
    The water in the engine bay, have you checked your stern gland ? Just a thought.

    • @mike-driftwoodfolk2651
      @mike-driftwoodfolk2651 Před 11 měsíci

      Thanks Jonathan much appreciated. Yup checked that and it's not that... And it was only in 1 of the 3 compartments ... Since the video we've made sure to clear the gutters whenever we are at the boat and the problem hasn't returned .... Yet...😅

  • @philelliott5327
    @philelliott5327 Před 11 měsíci +3

    Nice work! Working on narrowboats brings a whole different set of problems not found when renovating houses. It is like chess, you need to keep thinking five moves ahead. On such a point the Belfast sink is pretty deep, can you get the waste to run out of the side of the boat at a reasonable height above the waterline? I think the recommendation is 250mm, anything less than that usually gets a note on the BSS but not a fail. Many boats do not comply and are still afloat. Fit an automatic bilge pump, £50 is cheap to save finding the boat on the bottom.😅

    • @mike-driftwoodfolk2651
      @mike-driftwoodfolk2651 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Thanks for your comment much appreciate. I think it is too low but we are gonna fit a pump and do it that ways so it's all gonna be fine 🙈😂👍🏼

  • @moffatt43

  • @christinetaylor6897

    Looking great, love it when things start going back in. Was that a film crew outside the boat? Good to see you back. Best wishes Christine x

  • @peterlindsay8235
    @peterlindsay8235 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Hey Mike, turn the tap 90 degrees so the handle is to the side (right unless left handed🤙

    • @mike-driftwoodfolk2651
      @mike-driftwoodfolk2651 Před 11 měsíci

      Heyya ... We were gonna do that but the handle hits the wall so you can't put the tap fully on. We've worked out a solution but havnt implemented it yet 😂🙈

  • @jimstelfox6120
    @jimstelfox6120 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Circular saw needs a new blade it’s burning the wood instead of cutting it, keep up the good work.

    • @mike-driftwoodfolk2651
      @mike-driftwoodfolk2651 Před 9 měsíci

      Yup ... Its had a new blade a few months ago but I got it for general work so will need to change it to a fine tooth soon 🙈

  • @DEmma1972
    @DEmma1972 Před 11 měsíci +1

    could also try the tap at the side of the sink instead of behind it

    • @mike-driftwoodfolk2651
      @mike-driftwoodfolk2651 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Possibly haven't thought of that ... We will have to discuss ... If not I have a way of doing it haha

  • @Martyn2021
    @Martyn2021 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Wonderful job on the kitchen all that hard work is beginning to pay off, and the grass cutting and water in engine bay happens to everybody it's surprising where it gets to

    • @DriftwoodFolk
      @DriftwoodFolk  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Yeah it is surprising how grass gets in all the nooks and crannies haha

  • @DEmma1972
    @DEmma1972 Před 11 měsíci +2

    can use the cutouts as chopping boards and or sink filler as work surface?

    • @mike-driftwoodfolk2651
      @mike-driftwoodfolk2651 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Great ideas!!! Possibly cutting boards ... As the sink is raised I think it would mark/scratch it if we did that but they will definitely be used dw 💪🏽

  • @peterclarke1962
    @peterclarke1962 Před 10 měsíci

    Shouldn't you be putting the internal right before fitting out.

    • @mike-driftwoodfolk2651
      @mike-driftwoodfolk2651 Před 10 měsíci

      Hi Peter thanks for your comment... Can i ask what you mean by 'putting right'? If you mean the engine bay water... Its a completely separate compartment and isn't a good seal to the engine lid really but also we havnt installed the electrics fully so we havnt got a bilge pump atm ... Once that's fitted it will take care of itself.
