47. Boat TOUR Inside our Narrowboat

Come and have a look inside our 68ft narrowboat floating home.Full Narrowboat tour.
For those of you that have been following our journey from the start of our boat renovations you would have seen the inside each week, but here we show you our narrowboat interior as a whole in this one vlog, giving details of storage space, what we use each nook and cranny for and you get to have a look at our narrowboat engine.
The boat is not finished completely and of course we will always have little jobs along the way to keep us busy as we continuously cruise the waterways. This vlog shows you how far we have come to turn a once empty narrowboat into our floating tiny home.
We hope you have enjoyed this week's vlog and continue to join us on our Narrowboat adventures. Next week we are in new surroundings as we travel to Cosgrove, upgrade our batteries to Lithium, have a visit from family and give Paul a hair cut on the cut!
If you would like to see the renovation side of our story, there are a collection of vlogs in a separate playlist, so please take a look at our channel page.
Please hit that subscribe button if you haven't already and give us a like, it really does mean a lot to us and we love reading and responding to all of your comments so please keep those coming.
If you enjoyed the video and would like to support our channel you can buy us both a coffee using this link www.buymeacoffee.com/Uponrefl... or click on the coffee icon at the top of our page. Thank you

Hands down your narrowboat renovation is the best one I have seen on KZfaq. It is amazing what you have accomplished. You have turned your narrowboat into a beautiful home.

@@MarkHarper-ek8ss Hi Mark we did the video tour together just as we renovated it together. It's our boat that we made into our home over an 8 month period. We do all our videos together and it was created to show our subscribers the end result of all our hard work..together! Thanks for watching nethertheless 😉😊

Glad you discussed rubbish storage. Strangely, that's one of the things that most narrowboat videos seem to skip over and I'm always wondering where it all goes in between drop-offs.

Hi there. Yes we are fortunate to be able to store in our bow locker, it holds the rubbish bags in between drops. Thanks for watching and commenting 😀

If you made a removable mesh window frame for that hatch you can leave it open all night and still keep the midgies out in summer.

Hi Martin. That was on the list to do but it was a job that got pushed to the bottom of the list as we didn't get any over bearilingly hot nights on the boat this summer. Hopefully it can be top of list for next summer 😀

Almost reminded me of a submarine in terms of width and length. You’ve made it very comfortable given it’s size. I loved when you opened the side hatch and all that natural light came into the boat. I noticed your dog doesn’t just plop down anywhere but neatly folds into one side tight to the sofa.I prefer hearing the technical stuff like amps generated, liters burned, how many liters in the water tank,but still appreciated your tour, thanks.

I really love what you've done to that boat my taste and colours. I think when you have smooth walls instead of pine cladding everywhere it makes it look so much more spacious. You pair really do have good taste and creativity one of the best interiors I've seen in an narrow boat. I did notice one of your other videos you have some damp issues in the bedroom get a dehumidifier an electric one also space bags are very good for putting clothes in the ones that you seal and use the vacuum cleaner to take out the air but make sure the clothes are bone dry and preferably freshly laundered.❤

@uponreflection 20 күн бұрын

Hi Jeffrey. Thank you so much. Yes we now have an electric dehumidifier and clothes storage sorted, I lift the bed most mornings to air it. I have done a little more painting since this video and in next Wednesdays vlog you can see some of the artwork that I've painted on the bathroom wall to brighten it up a little in our miserable English weather 😉😊

He now wears boots if he goes out , it helps his sore paws and stops him chewing them. See you next week.

The colors are absolutely beautiful - well chosen & so soothing ! Way too many 'decor' thingys for my taste - flowers, statuettes, nick-nacks etc....clogs up the space, altho we all know how this happens with Xmas gifts & can't resist purchases when shopping ! But the space is really well thought out - kitchen is lovely, apart from the lack of a big frig/freezer - one of my beefs with these boats as well as the narrow living room that I find psychologically daunting - why I could not live on one ! It is just about the nicest boat I've seen on youtube tho ! You are obviously both into being tidy which is why it works - too many couples are tidy/messy combinations which makes life hard however you live - somebody is always running around fixing what the other half messed up !- so you are a great couple from that perspective & I would say lucky you ! Congratulations on a really lovely home !
