Thank you for posting this, it was very helpful as I'm currently gutting my boat for a full rebuild this year and you've answered a few questions I've had. Cheers!
You can get electric hot plates that plug into your power only when you need it, they come in single or double hot plates. With regard to solar panels, do you need to change your battery size or go lithium?
I did consider that option, although as I’m only running a 12v electrical system and they only come in 240v it wasn’t an option unfortunately. In terms of your other question, I’m a little confused. I already have lithium batteries or are you asking about buying them yourself?
Fantastic vlog! - interesting about solar, so many people wish they'd had more..... Re the laptop you could always just get a really small portable invertor just for that?
I love the inside of your boat and the tunes you play. That intro melody is so addictive, I’d like to hear the whole thing or is that all you created. It’s like you and your boat have come from another century 😊
This is exactly the comment I needed on a cold frosty morning ❤️ All the music in this particular video, was written especially for it and so only exists for that reason. Although I do have several musical projects where I make music in a more traditional sense ☺️
Great comments bud,,, but the things u mentioned can I guess be adjusted,,,, love the wood 👍 Jup the gas for me would have to be a yes, especially in the summer,,, but ur boat looks absolutely sorted 💪👍👍👍
defo back boiler, we added one to our morso on old boat, and having one on new boat so have options for heat, and solar a defo. Love the dark wood in your boat
Oh, yes-- a water back on a wood stove is a good idea; as I recall, my grandmother had one on hers. It also had a "trash burner"--sort of a small 2-lid portion that served both for heating up small items like a teapot and getting rid of combustible trash. Alternatives to gas appliances sound like a very reasonable decision. There are (or at least were) also gas-powered refrigerators. Cruising The Cut had a video about washing machines--he settled on a 12v (?) one that could have the hot water cycle turned off, saving a lot of electricity. It was also very compact. What is the brand and model of your stove?
Seems to be a first-rate stove; the company dates back to the very early days of cast iron stoves, when most people were still cooking and heating with fireplaces.
Your vlogs just keep getting better and i love your boat and music , they are unique to you and are uncomparable, thats your creative gift . Here in my simple home in the mountains i have my wood burner for heat and cooking in the winter and its been my dream to heat water from it as i have another seperate woodburner outside for hot water, that was one of my mistakes! I have a gas cooker for summertime, its a great thing to have indeed. Totally understand about having a bigger water tank for a good reserve of water. Ive just installed a 2500 litre one here! Great advise in this vlog . Your nearly at 1000 subscribers!🍀🌿
Personally I love that dark interior. It's like an old garden shed or, as someone said, a Viking ship...or any old ship. Very cosy!
I am very fond of it too! I guess its like wanting to maybe redecorate a room in your house, if every room looked the same!

I’m so glad you found it useful. Be sure to check out some of my other videos, as they are filled with my experiences fitting out my boat :)
Thank you. I appreciate the fact that you vlogged this, and the info was super.
I’m so happy it helped you! If you have any of questions don’t hesitate to ask

@@mynarrowboatlife no I DIDNT REALISE YOU ALREADY HAD LITHIUM BATTERIES.

Thanks! Yeah if I did get an inverter it would only be small
Yes it was interesting. I’ll be buying a boat in a month or so and it helped me think about my choices. Thank you ☺️
Excellent so glad I could be of some small assistance. If you have any questions just ask :)

Why not get a semi permanent gas drop in burner for your stove? You can get virtually any size & shape of burner nowadays.
Sounds like an interesting idea!
Great comments bud,,, but the things u mentioned can I guess be adjusted,,,, love the wood 👍
Jup the gas for me would have to be a yes, especially in the summer,,, but ur boat looks absolutely sorted 💪👍👍👍
Yeah you are right of course. Maybe one day I’ll do an upgrade!
Hi Bones, that was very interesting. I think we could all find things we would change after living with them for a while. Keep warm. ❣
Yeah I agree, and in the process of making the video I realised how much I wouldn’t change as well
Keep up the good work mate. 👍👍
Thanks, will do!
Can't have too much water or electricity - well presented.
I agree!
defo back boiler, we added one to our morso on old boat, and having one on new boat so have options for heat, and solar a defo. Love the dark wood in your boat
Thanks dude!

My stove is made by ESSE
Seems to be a first-rate stove; the company dates back to the very early days of cast iron stoves, when most people were still cooking and heating with fireplaces.
Great stuff ☺️!
Many Thanks 👍!
Thank you
I do enjoy your vlogs. You have the most beautiful eyes.
Thank you so much
Get one of the 12v cigarette to 230v plugs bud really cheap I think 150 watt so your loss in conversion will be next to nothing 😁
I did have one! But it didn’t deal well with the fluctuation in volts you sometimes get. Especially voltage drop over the length of my boat
Maybe buy a battery bank for your computer/phone? You could actually charge it in town when you do your laundry?
Good idea! I’ll start saving 😉
