55. My Project Narrowboat Gets Sprayfoam Insulation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- This was a long one, a day and a half of prep to get ready for insulating the boat & a spur of the moment visit from Tim to help prep the boat for more paint. Spray foam and half a day of spray foam clean up, this is gonna get messy
Definite kill room vibes with the tarps dude.
I can see your smile when you started pulling off the tape. So satisfying!
great job ..looking forward to the journey, found your channel through your neighbour James ..
Thanks very much 👍 Yh he’s a good lad, gonna be missed when he’s on his way
The double tape works a treat. I was impressed with the out come. The first time I saw spray foam was on Journey with Jonno and he spent weeks cleaning that lot up. Great job Oli
And he got a free touch up, Yh I remember watching molly jump around a few years ago, going to revisit his videos when doing my electrics, that guys a genius!
@@olivellanarrowboat4319 He now works full time for Victron
Oh how satisfying was that to watch. Well done with all the taping, well worth it. Christine x
Thank you, I totally agree 😀
Hope ur well Oli, Defo worth the time taping, a friend of mine didn’t and said it took ages to clean off, wide beam as well! Looking forward to getting back to the Wharf soon👍👍
Hey man how was your trip? Yh come say hi, it’ll be great to catch up, I might be a few weeks tho, works mental and I’m a little injured atm
Exciting times :) Can't wait to get to where you are now! Enjoy every second of your journey! x
Yep for sure. Cleaning it all up is gonna be a big job but at least it’s something different from grinding and sanding back the exterior for visiting friends to get stuck into 😉
Hope everything is OK, conscious that you have not uploaded for three weeks. Christine x
Thanks very much for concern, Yh had a spill and bruised a few ribs, took a couple of weekends off while sleeping upright on the couch. Did a good 4 day stint last weekend in the sunshine, just chopping the footage down, hopefully it’ll be up this afternoon/evening. Thank you for thinking of me x
Oh good, sorry to hear about your injury, hope you are feeling better, so frustrating for you. Best wishes. Christine x
your doing a good joob !!!
Thanks 😀👍
Spray foam i have seen requires two people. One sprays while other wits to expand then uses various length flat bars with edge on on side. He outs bar across studs/battens and levels faom at right point before fully dry. Very neat and level.They then cleanup all it excess before leaving. Ready for sheeting when they leave.
Yh you said, it sounds awesome to watch, like seeing a good plaster make a wall shine like a pond in the morning winter light. Wouldn’t have worked here though, I wanted the top overflowing for the next layer of battening and the lower frame would need 3 inches deep (3x the cost) to come level. Sound perfect for the ceiling tho, I thought I was done working with my hands above my head….
Never happens, you made that up.
Everyone does oak faced ply. Use marine ply! For the walls and ceiling. It water proof but a little mire expensive. It made of mahogany. Warmer look in side. Trim with oak.
Nice
Great video Oli could you give me a ballpark figure how much it cost for the sprayfoam please?
I paid just over £1400 I think, but that was 2 years ago, good luck 👍
@olivellanarrowboat4319 Okay that's relatively affordable thanks
@boatdweller310 I used a guy called Matt Gibson from marine insulation ltd, based at redhill in Nottingham, where granny and grandad make a Narrowboat are
👍👌🇨🇦❤
How thick is the foam on the steelwork?
The guy, Matt, said at least 25mm but I haven’t had a good look at it yet. I’m sure I’ll start picking it apart and filling in low spots with foam in a can in the next few weeks. However, some bits look super thick, the lower battens are on 2 inch ribs, but it’s hard to tell from the video
Now that tape worked a treat didn't it,I was wondering if it would help,and it certainly did.Are you going to bubble wrap over the spray foam as a vapour barrier as well??
I don’t know…..
I wasn’t planning on it, I’ve watched the journey with Jono videos where he does it… looks tricky, but who knows, maybe when the time comes I’ll think it needs doing, maybe not
@@olivellanarrowboat4319 that's where I saw it lol,he was very meticulous as well wasn't he
His grasp of the electrical systems is astounding! Shame we never saw his boat finished
@@olivellanarrowboat4319 I know,I thought at the time that if I had one I wanted him to wire it up for me lol.He was on Taylor's Afloat a while back,he was ok but I think they said it just got to much for him,shame really.Mind you people can be idiots can't they,it must be hard enough doing them without Pillock's giving you grief so can't blame him really.He seemed to be doing what he wants now,just cruising with his daft dog Molley,that's what I want to do lol
I'm being thick I know but what is the tape on the batons for?
To clear back to the wood easily to attach the walls. Instead of shaving it back with a knife to get an even surface you just pull the tape up
Thanks for the comment, and the question 😀👍
Ah, scrap that, i've watched the rest haha
@@olivellanarrowboat4319 Yeh that's a great idea, I heard you mention Danni & Jo & yeh, I didn't think they'd taped theirs lol that's a way better way of doing it.
How much...... X
Came in a little over £1400 with vat!
