    I'm just impressed that you know what decoupage is! I'll enjoy watching your changes - almost as much as listening to your engine.

      Tania Allison ha ha ha thanks Tania, I know about découpage because I’m into Landrover’s too as well as Narrowboat and I get the Landrover magazines! My partner cut a load of pictures out and découpage them in my ground floor bathroom 😊😊👍🏼 thank you for your great comment

      Ha ha fair point! I do really like the boat but that doesn’t stop me wanting to make it better! I brought the boat knowing it needed lots of work to make it right. I also paid a price that reflects that issue. By the time I’m finished is will of made a nice boat great and also added a possible £40k to its value also! 😊😊👍🏼👍🏼

    Thank you for an interesting vlog. I look forward to se you fix the issues. A bit sad to see the lack of engineering, maintenance and workmanship, In a an otherwisebeautiful looking boat inside and outside. But it will provide us with good entertainment in the future.

    She's a nice shape boat, the outside looks to be well looked after. That shower tray must be so frustrating to empty , I kind of agree about getting rid of the sink, a lot of basins in heads are too small to do any thing other than brush your teeth I always use the kitchen sink. Look fwd to your updates.

    • @NarrowboatPreciousJet

    Once all the Planned work is done will look rather awesome, yeah that bathroom, does need attention especially the Shower, as you say a Quadrant Larger/Roomier one and you could always get a slimline hand basin mounted 90deg to the one you remove 😎👍👌😏🤔

    Just a thought from my experience, you may regret losing the second sink to wash up after tinkering with the engine etc. I won't let my menfolk use the kitchen sink after coming in from the workshop.Very Interesting project.

    We've spent many enjoyable holidays on Precious. Really enjoying watching your Vlog, seeing what you are doing with her. Can't wait to see the finished product. My wife was excited to see the curtains she made for the boat looking so good.

    • @NarrowboatPreciousJet
      @NarrowboatPreciousJet  3 роки тому

      We have just dyed the curtains with some grey so they are grey and pink now 😊😊👍🏼 when I’m done Precious will look almost the same as she did before apart from the rear cabin, I’m fitting a Boatman’s cabin now 😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
