Really taking shape now James, looking great, nice one

This is coming on brilliantly. Well done

Coming along quickly now James,soon be your birthday matey.👌👍

Looking good James, all the hard work is paying off. 👍

Great job and hello from Las Vegas Nevada USA

Time for bed still i’am pinned to the computer screen watching this vlog. Strange but great.

Wow James, what a huge difference. Now she's starting to really look like home sweet home 😉😎

Great job James ,looks really nice.can't wait to see how you make your bolognese.

Now that I’ve watched...boat’s looks great my man. It’s come a long way!

Looking good james. Just keep going mate and you will have it all finished.

It looks so different now the top walls are installed James. Stay safe and look after your milk lol

James what a huge difference the walls have made ! Would make a difference to the warmth and outside noise, which wouldn't be much anyway. Well done you !

wow you are so talented

looks so goot mate well done.

Cracking on now mate, looks great, really taking shape, gonna be one nice boat when you are finished

Wow! It’s really taking shape now James .👍

Boat looks massively different with the walls done 😍

What a difference the boards make. Well done James.

Morning James. A double episode 👍🏻 Its like a Netflix series link lol 😆 The inside is looking really good. Proper cooking is coming 😋 Like me in my lorry as I had a cheese omelette for my T last night 🤣 Take care buddy. Cheers Stevie.

Such a joy to see coming along, I will be both happy and sad to see it completed I think as I've learned and enjoyed watching you create this and the diy aspect is brilliant for me personally. I hope 1 day I get to sit on my own narrowboat after emptying it and going through your videos 1 by 1 and following you myself. Enjoy your biscuits this evening with your brew and until tomorrow chap...stay safe

Great to see your hard work is finally turning out into fruition James. Look forward to when you start cruising down the cut.

It's all looking great. The pencil behind the ear is always a good look. Cheers.

Looking great your on the final approach of the interior now pat yourself on the back im so chuffed for you cant wait to see you cruising, wont be long now 👍😊

Looking great James. I don’t know if you can spray paint your aluminum window frames or not. I’ve done it with items that I don’t like the colour of or just to make them unique to me. My combo is a light bronze with a very light random dusting spay of copper, makes it look like mica , you could do it in black to match the stove or silver to match the aluminium. Probably a warmer weather thing.

Mmmmh I was looking at the port side by the cooker. What about some little drawers under the gunwales? That would solve the lines not being level? It will give you more storage space in the galley.

This is so good to see, coming on in leaps and bounds. Take. care.

So gratifying to see the walls enclosed. Looking great!

Well me old mucker looking really good m8 stay safe 👍

The paneling makes the boat interior larger somehow, certainly warmer. Looking good! So looking forward to the completion, though no more than you! Cheers from Florida!

Awesome couple of days work!

Does the local hardware store sell stamps?? BTW, James, I hope it won't sound insulting if I say it's fascinating to watch your precise and meticulous work arising out of the general chaos that surrounds you!

Looking good James good job 👍

top job mate its coming along nicely now get some kip!!!! ha ha loved watching your uploads from the start to now take care buddy .

That's looking bonafide alright, good job.

Can't wait to see it completed ...

Top Filling Young James :-)

Looking great. Seeing progress 🥰

What a difference. Looks great!

Really coming together nicely

Looking much better and more homely now is the interior. Regarding the dinette's design, have a look at a recent Well Deck Diaries vlog to see their boat tour. The rear seats on their dinette are reversable to provide extra saloon seating. Might be a option for you. Good luck there.

Looking good and coming together nicely. With reference just go to any calor dealer and pay the extra for the "rental" of the bottle and get the bottle size you need. Otherwise just look on Ebay or local selling pages and get any calor bottle. You dont need to return the same size bottle as you want.

Your doing a great job, but cant understand you dont finish a job then forget about it. and start on the next fitting still crack on be nice to see the end as im sure you will be and enjoy the cut

Heh. I think every bit of putty filler I've applied has cracked with how much my boat shifts and expands, with the steel it pulls the wood every which way. Be interesting to see how it holds up I use beading or trim now to hide the joins now. I used 6mm oak faced ply for mine. Looks good, nice to see her coming along.

For the window trim. resin mixed with Qsail. witch is micro-glass bubbles, makes a water proof filler. like glazing paddy for glass pains in wooden frame

Lovely jubbly. Much easier when you put the screws in first, isn't it? All the best!

Go to B&Q they sell the full bottle but you do pay extra as a deposit on the bottle itself

James.s boat is starting to look like a home

two in one day? You are spoiling us. Is it time to think about a fridge?

James your gas bottle problem if you still need one and you are coming to London soon will be able to give you I gas bottle

Great to see the walls up, well done! I thought you were planning on using the space under the gunwale at the back of the kitchen worktop? Looks like you’ve got a water/grime trap now.

Look on Facebook market place, you can get full and empty gas bottles on there cheap, keep up the good work ,looking great

James, what happens between the ceiling panels where the don”t fit flush with their neighbour?

I could probably do with that blow heater, I’m landing next to your old spot on Friday, come give us a knock if u like

I think I might have 2 x13kg calor bottles with gas if you are Interested Lawrence

You can just buy a full bottle of gas instead of trying to find an empty one. We got ours from a garage if you can't find anywhere on the cut willing to sell you one

You buy a full gas bottle and when you replace it you only pay for the gas

Wow, you certainly don't hang about, You are doing a good job, hopefully the gas man don't let you down. have you made up your mind on the outside colour ?

Used to live in a village shop that sold gas. You just pay a higher price if you're not returning a bottle.

I thought you could buy a full gas bottle, you just have to pay extra for the bottle. At least, that is the way it used to operate.

💙👊😎

One concern I have and I'm sure you thought of, is capturing the windows thus having to tear out the framing (& walls) around them for repair or to install better windows? In short; are those windows removable from the outside? ;-)

Hi James What are you going to do with all the steps in the ceiling ?

Facebook and Gumtree are full of Calor gas bottles empty also full or part used

Did you get the pictures on the doors cleared up from spray foam?

How come no narrow boat seem to use double layered insulated glass windows? I mean, if insulation and retaining heat is so important.

Try facebook marketplace for a gas bottle bud

The post office ???????

First!

Hey James, looking good. Is that 9mm thick plywood you attached to the upper walls?
