8. Emptying the cassette toilet & fitting vinyl flooring
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- A very important job in this week's video - emptying the toilet! This was easier than I was expecting in some ways, but harder in others. It also alerted me to other issues, such as needing a new trolley! It looks ok on video but trust me it was touch and go whether the wheels would stay on for the trip!
After that I fit new vinyl flooring in the shower room. Please forgive my rampant use of the word "lino", when I mean "vinyl" - I do manage to use the correct term on occasion. I've never fitted flooring before so this was completely new to me and I'm super proud of it :)
I almost didn't get this video edited in time (it's Monday at 18:40 already), as this weekend things took a downward turn when a leak made itself known in panic-inducing fashion - tune in next week to hear all about that. Spoilers - the boat has not sunk and will survive, if I don't murder it that is.
It’s coming along nicely
Aww thanks!
Well done. You did make me laugh as, after 4 years of owning my MH, I still have to double check that I leave the wee screw top in a safe place else it might end up being flushed away!! I also have a wee trolly which I use now and again but have to say it did come in very handy when in Germany for transporting some Pink Gin, which was on special offer, all the way from the supermarket to the campsite in Rudesheim!! You did such a grand job with the floor and I, for one, was delighted you persevered and got that batten up, you’ve made such a beautifully neat job, ably assisted by your ‘in-house dancing tester’!
Haha I'm so happy to make you smile! Lord yes I was super paranoid about the top! When my mum watched the video she thought I sounded super confident 😂
I love the sound of your trolley, transporting gin sounds like a much better use for it.
Thank you for the lovely words about the floor, and my tester!
Great to see more progress! You did a nice job at laying the new flooring. Looks like a new bathroom.
The painting is coming along nicely too.
Thanks for sharing your progress with us. I'm cheering you on!
Aww thank you! I'm so glad you like it. Thanks for sticking with me and for cheering me on every week!
Good to see your priorities are correct, kettle on first 👍painting coming along, try to get more of the walls 🤣🤣 toilet chat so soon 😀
Oh absolutely, kettle always comes first 😉
I really can't bothered with painting most of the time - I left the main cabin red. If you see me painting it probably means I'm procrastinating from a much bigger problem!!
Glad you didnt cut corners and leave bits of lino (apart from under the tray). New floor looks great.
Thank you! Can't be doing with bits lying around 😂
Nice job looks great ! 👍
Thank you!
How fab does that floor look.. Good job 😁
That's so nice of you, thank you 😊
Nice job. It's good you don't give up. Being a narrowboater means piss poo and plasters. Ha cheers
Omg yes! I totally splashed toilet contents over my foot this week 😂
