We make some big changes to our narrowboat cafe. One fridge gets up cycled (literally) another fridge gets installed, we do a massive tidy up, and we nearly double our counter space.
Thanks for watching, and big thanks to the Patreon crew.
Also checkout eLOV if you're in the area and want anything done by bike.
Some of the music in this episode was made by the great Tom Beecham.

I love the real life content. Much like our early life that we always looked back on as a hectic shambles of trying to survive. We did and enjoyed the ride. Now with grandkids it’s even better. William is amazing. Way ahead of his peers. He will do well.❤️

Unless you’re moving around and running the propeller, you shouldn’t have any leaks from the stern gland, other than a few drips. It sounds like it needs repacking. Do not delay, more boats sink from leaking stern glands than any other reason. Love your videos and family, been watching you since you started.

Wow, the upgrades to the narrowboat cafe look amazing! The upcycled fridge is such a creative touch. Kudos to the team for nearly doubling the counter space-can't wait to see it in person! Incredible transformation! The new fridge and tidy-up really elevate the space. Great job, and a huge thanks to the Patreon supporters for making this possible. Also, Tom Beecham's music was a perfect fit for the episode! Loving the changes! The upcycled fridge is such a clever idea, and the expanded counter space is going to be a game-changer. Thanks for sharing the journey, and big shoutout to the Patreon crew!

What a game changer that new worktop & fridge are going to be. Also having that shelf underneath for storage. Can't wait to see how it all goes, when you are baking & making coffee. Excellent job guys. Love watching William on his bike & pushing it with his feet. He is adorable. It is officially winter in Kiwiland as I call it. It has been colder this past week. I hope you have a good week guys. Take care.

🛥LOVED this episode, you guys! It was really great to see you doing so well and always so positive and enthusiastic! I laughed out loud at some of the funny bits like the digger driver pulling up and saying '...give me some cake or the boat gets it!' ha ha ha....or when Vic relocated and released the spider under the garbage can and said 'good location, schools are good...' ha ha ha..(or something like that)..THANK YOU for making my day brighter. I have been feeling a bit low with the weather and whatnot, but just seeing your smiling, gorgeous faces living a lovely life made me happy! All is well again. Looking forward to the cheesecakes...and tiramasu....oh yummy for my tummy..(I wish).!!! 🍰🎂

I love following your story from North Carolina. I moved to the US from England over 30 years ago and enjoy the connection to my homeland that channels like this provide. I’m a retired freelance videographer so I know what producing content like this requires, you do a great job. I particularly enjoyed the use of the word ‘gubbins’ that I use occasionally and makes my American wife smile every time. Good to see the café is doing well. William is adorable, thanks for the subtitles.

Bit more space for you Joe to create your masterpieces, which reminds me to ask when is the next book out? Don't forget Vic nearly all fridges you can change the swing of the door opening left / right by using and turning the same brackets to the other side and plugging the holes with the existing plugs you have to remove if a left hand swing is better to miss the other handle.
