Danni & Joe
![The DREAM! Sailing to TAHITI! [Ep. 159]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IOYWme3P2M0/mqdefault.jpg)
Danni-„…oh I don’t need that bit!“ Joe-„Mate you DO…“ 😂😂😂
"One blister later", ahh yes, the story of so very many projects down through the centuries be they job, craft, hobby, or DIY. ;)
So nice to see just how excited Danni is to be getting close to complete. Joe just keeps on grafting. Lovely to see you two make progress.
Thanks very much 🙂
Joe, I’m certain you lived the quiet while Dani was I’ll, but the dynamics between you two keeps me smiling. The boat is looking so beautiful. Cheers.
Definitely! I’m getting peace 4 days a week whilst she’s working away at the minute though 😂😂
Joe glad to see your finger is healing. Painful though eh. I looked back at the first few videos you did when you first got the boat and what a massive difference. Well done
We’ve been looking through photos today funnily enough and it’s crazy how far it’s come, hopefully not much further now!
Great work on the doors by Gary. Welcome back Danni, hope you are feeling better. Have you ever thought about buying the book "Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual" it was first published in 1990 and is currently on the 4th edition. It Is hailed as the first truly DIY manual for boatowners and is available on Amazon and eBay. Stay safe
Thanks Pete will take a look, sounds handy
Its looking mint now mate,won't be long and your both free to move on
Thank you! Can’t wait
I love how vibrant colors are in the upload.
Such a scenic view ,looks great.
Impressive video.....thanks for sharing!!!!
Thank you!
If you have a good hot hair dryer you can carefuly heat the white pvc waste pipe end and make direct connections with glue and make slight offsets to straighten direct runs. Just a hint there is another option and that is a commercial heat gun for the same process. Also, watch your drop and distance on waste lines. If you exceed the ratio the water may not carry any residue and be prone to clogging. Don't forget to put a small steel plate over where the plumbing goes through the wood so when you cover the wall you don't accidentally put a screw or nail through the pipes.
Danni/Joe when you got the 🔥 on try putting the kettle on their instead of the gas .
Love the videos
Yes good shout keep forgetting about that! I did heat up a pasty the other day it was so nice on a cold morning
🚪 Wow those doors are lovely. Well done to your Uncle Gary. Boat is looking fab. Glad to see you’re well again Danni. Joe the finish is in sight 🏁
Thanks Jackie!
Those doors look fantastic
good to see danni back as well, even tho she wind you up at times lol ,,you work well together and doing a great job
Day in day out we like to wind each other up, seems to work 😂
Excellent job guys, I've watched this project from the start. I was considering a project boat for myself, but after watching your trials and tribulations, I have decided to never ever take on a project like that. Congrat's to uncle Garry, those doors! Looking forward to the finished article.
Thank you! Yeah knowing what we know now, I think we’d be tempted to go with a new hull next time (if there is a next time!). Although there’s something rewarding about giving an old boat a new lease of life!
Looking awesome. 🔥 It's certainly taking shape and love the doors. Credit to Gary. PS. the boss is back 💪 from isolation too. lol
Thank you very much! Yes great to have the boss back 😂
When doing plumbing, a couple sheets of t-paper is your best friend. the paper will find the leak and right where it's at.
Ah another great suggestion! Thank you
Hi Joe and Danni enjoyed your video today. You make an awesome team. It’s looking good. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much 🙂
Lovely to see Danni bouncing back like Tigger! Xx
Full of energy! 😂
It won't be long before it looks like home! So nice to see your hard work paying off.
Thank you!
HI Danni & Joe. Great progress and the plumbing seems to be coming together. Paint job looks great Danni and glad your feeling a lot better. xxxxx Keith
Thanks Keith!
Looks better and better Everytime 🙂
I think Joe you need to put a lock on that bathroom door so you can lock Danni away in the bedroom 😂😂
Bless her
Great to see you back danni boat is looking great love your colour scheme take care guys
Thank you!
Nice to see you back hope you are feeling much better Danni well done on projects to you both your are little stars you are like grandchildren to us we just luv to see you will you carry on with vlogs when yr all finished we do hope so wishing you all the best Ann n David 👍☕️🍰
Ahh that’s really sweet thank you both!
Maybe have a Q & A session sometime soon. 💗💗
Hi Danni Joe, love watching you making your narrowboat into your home. I think your doing a really good job of it. Have you thought about getting a window vac for all that condensation on the windows, we have one and it works really well, just a suggestion. All the best to you both.
Yes we have talked about getting one once we’re living aboard! They look really handy
Have had a karcher window vac for a long while. Gets used on house windows and even on my car windows. Are worth the money.
Hi Danni and Joe. Good to see Danni all well and back on the boat. More terrific changes on the boat from your constant hard work - well done to you both. The doors and painting make such a difference and we salute Joe's commitment to getting the wiring and pipework all correct. Thanks again for another excellent vlog. Hope you can make the "anniversary" completion date you're aiming for. George and Trish -The CaravanningMacs
Looking good guys! 😎😎
Thank you!
Great progress 👏. Love uncle Garrys doors. ❤ they will look great bri-waxed. Paint is brilliant, well done with all that sanding. Thanks for sharing xx
Yes we’re hoping to leave them pine rather than painted! Thank you
As you say its looking as thought the end is in sight.. Good work from uncle Gary again.
Yes slowly but surely!
Joe!! when starting the jigsaw blade into the wood I have found that if you press the foot and the blade against the wood pull trigger and ease the blade into the wood.
Good shout!
Such a complex set of steps! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yes it’s definitely testing!
You’ve done a great job so far!
Thank you!
I am jealous that you get to enjoy in such a beautiful and stunning park, it looks fun as well. have a great weekend :)
Thank you!
SO. MANY. DOORS. And walls :-D
😂😂
Well done it’s looking great wellcome back Danni xx
Thank you 🙂
Great progress guys and the boat is looking great 👍
Thank you!
Lovely Jubbly Joe, the new door are very impressive and you are definitely a grafter.
really is looking great. So fresh and those doors really are a neat job.
Thank you!
Wonderful job guys. I can feel your excitement as you get ever closer to the end. I'm excited for you! Also embracing the colors, though they wouldn't be my choice, as they suit the two of you. And after all, that's all that matters! All the best from Missouri.
Another brilliant video, I'm hooked on watching your vlogs, can't wait to see it all done, well done so far ,😁👍
Thanks very much 🙂
Glad to see Danni back and in her good form. Pretty exciting to see your current projects because they are heading for a finished boat. This has got to be pretty rewarding to realize how far you have come. Good decision on the half inch pipe although copper costs the moon. After years of soldering copper I have switched to Pex for water but copper is still required for gas. As always best wishes and looking forward to your next vlog. PS Love the doors, they really suit the boat.
Thanks Bob! We’re glad to be back and yeah you’re right, funnily enough Danni suggested watching our first boat video again and wow what a way we’ve come!
Looking good 👍 it’s getting there.i like Danni limbow with the kitchen tray and kettle😂😂
Thank you! 😂😂
Wow the boat is looking great. Love the doors. Pleased you are both better.🙂
Thank you!
You guys are hilarious!!! The boat is really coming together now. When it’s all said and done y’all are going to have a beautiful and cozy home.can’t wait till the next video shows up 😀
Thank you!
Cracking video it's getting there mate you'll soon be cruising about ☺👍
Yes can’t wait!
Hi guys great to see you back Danni.
Really look forward to your vlogs your both doing a great job. Hope you have a great week
Thanks so much 🙂
Wow coming along so quickly. Is there no end to your amazing talents ! Brilliant. Great teamwork. Best wishes.
Thanks so much!
Good job done 👍I really like the doors so you can shut the other half out 😆
Just need a bolt now to keep her out out! 😂
@@DanniandJoe 😂
The boat keeps right on shaping up. :) Looking forward to seeing it complete and operational to get those cobwebs off the throttle there at 17:42 :D
looking good guys...I'd change that blue drainpipe for a section of car radiator hose will look better and no smelly ribs to collect dirt and old soap/ toothpast etc...
Yeah good shout on the rad hose, will try and find a small piece of 40mm
Great to see your progress, you have kept us going through covid, delighting in all your efforts to complete. Will you live on moorings when all done or continuous cruise? and how will that affect your jobs? Will you continue to vlog when cruising about so we ( your audience ) can continue to look over your shoulders as it were. Before you are on proper gas, why don't you put your kettle on your log burner whilst you have that lit? 👍👌👏👍🍺🍻🥂
So we’re going to be cruising as much as possible and yes we’ll be filming 🙂 We’ll be looking for a marina shortly though as we have some travel plans for USA (and some flight vouchers that need using up from when it all started in 2020!). Danni will be picking up a few shifts through an agency wherever we are in the country and I’ll be carrying on with filming and editing the videos, we make a bit through UA-cam from adverts so that will help pay for diesel, logs and gas 🙂
You could do with a cast-iron kettle for that fire
We’ve got a nice enamel one I’ve just brought over today funnily enough!
Love the doors. If you can open and secure them flat against the partition walls, then the inside will feel more spacious? For cutting close to walls, those vibrating multitools with a saw blade work well.
Hi Danny Joe,nice to see you back Danny don’t think he can manage without you ,you feeling ok now after that horrible Covid,dose jo want another camper van Danny thought this boat was a big enough project lol ,I do like the colour green you are using what is it called please,jo what part are you looking for is it a release bearing you only have three parts to a clutch,friction plate pressure plate and release bearing ,got to say Jo you are leaning so much doing most of this yourself I say well done m8
Well till next time take care keep safe,John,🥶🍻👍🌟⭐️😎🙄🤥😥😓
Thanks very much John! 🙂
KEEP UP THE GOOD CVID ON THE BULD ON your BOAT
Thank you!
I live in Middlesbrough👍👍
Danni’s been a handful of times but I’ve never had the chance. We’d love to explore more of the North!
Hi Danni, Joe, Wow your boat is looking more amazing every week. Love the banter between you both, you had me smiling. The painting makes the boat look so more homely. Love the way Joe is getting on with his plumbing. I could never, and would never attempt anything like that. As for Uncle Garry and the doors, what an amazing job he has done. The doors are beautiful. It's such a pleasure following you on your amazing adventure. Dani's talk to camera was classic (re: Joe's motor). You two are great. Take Care and have a great week. Just one question, as you are in a fitting out stage, are you still required to move the boat every two weeks?
Thank you very much 🙂 it’s normally a battle of who wants to kill the other most, seems to work though! 😂 really pleased with Garry’s doors! Yeah we still have to move every two weeks, whilst we’ve been broken down (cooling system) CRT who run the canals have been understanding which is good.
Your both doing AMAZING 💗What do you plan naming your narrow boat home? How will cruising the canals work with your careers? Have you thought about a 'Danni & Joe Recipe, Art, simple build reno instuctional guide to include your overseas travel' book..... plenty to keep you guys busy & You Tubers interested. Much love from a hot & humid NZ. 💗💗🏖🍺
Hey Karen, thank you! We’ll be doing a name reveal shortly but the initials are LPB. At the minute Danni is working as a nurse, when we start cruising she’ll be taking a few shifts up on agency in different parts of the country wherever we may be. I’ve finished up at my old work and currently focusing on finishing the boat and filming/editing the videos, we make a bit through adverts which will help with our canal license, logs and gas etc. Yeah who knows on a book, maybe once we actually know what we’re doing on the canals! 😂
that blue flex hose you are using for your drain, has a short life. measure the white pvc pipe and compare to the black pipe on the wall. if the white pipe is close to sliding over the black. you can heat the white pipe and work it over the black. a heat gun, hair dryer or torch (careful not to melt the pipe). you can also bend the white pipe using the same method of heating the pvc pipe.
use a liberal amount of glue on both the black and white pipe, to ensure a good seal as the black pipe is not smooth. make sure the glue is compatible for both types of plastic pipe.
Yes someone else suggested some radiator hose, which is smooth also. The pipe is slightly offset so wouldn’t slide over easily without a flexible pipe
@@DanniandJoe that's why I mentioned the heating of the pipe. you can then form it to almost any angle. like after going through a wall and you need the pipe shifted in multiple directions to conform to existing structure. you can heat the pvc and bend it, without using fittings. just trying to save you additional future maintenance. as things age and deteriorate. radiator hoses will last in certain conditions over 10 years. in high heat 2-3 years. in your climate probably the extended life.
You should have kept the bung on the end then you don’t get any debris in the pipe when threading through Allie spaces Kev
Didn’t think of that! We did have some tape over it but bung could’ve stayed on
Another great video and great to see Danni back. Can you please provide details of where you got your log burner from? I have eberspacher diesel heating on my narrowboat but need to find a small log burner like the one you have. Thanks in advance and I look forward to seeing next weeks video. Gary
Thank you! It’s from Glastonbury Burners, chap called Dave makes them all by hand one at a time and they’re really reasonable, www.glastonburyburners.co.uk/index.html#blog for reference ours is a Cyclops, they do a mini cyclops as well which is more for vans. Hope of help.
@@DanniandJoe thanks for the reply I will check them out
I hope you are using shellac over those knots in the wood. If not they will bleed through like on my porch. Great work guys!
Will look into that, cheers!
@@DanniandJoe and fyi already painted mine three time and once with kils and still bloody bleeding through.
Welcome back! Glad you r getting better.... Uncle Gary is amazing!! Beautiful doors!! P.s. what us the music at the beginning (female singing), not in description ??? Nice vlog.👍.
Thank you! It’s OTE - Keep on keepin on
Thank you!!👍.
I suggest you swap that blue convoluted for some smooth wall silicon tubing....
Yes someone else has suggested this, thanks
Oh - Uncle Garry! Fabulous. Would he like flowers, chocolates or ScrewFix vouchers, as I engage in fluttering my eyelashes?
Maybe I should stop now, before he suggests a court order! I am glad you guys have such amazing folks around you. Good to see you are both hale and hearty.
I’m sure he’s very flattered I’ll pass your kind comments on! 😂🥵
No wonder its cold. Those doors to out side must have at least an inch or more around them. Burr
We have new ones which will be put in this summer!
Hi Dani and Joe, the doors look amazing. Just wondering with the doors open does the fire warm the bedroom and bathroom? You are getting close to just working on the piddly things. At my house when we get to that stage it takes years to finish 🤦. You are doing a great job.
It’s crazy how long the odds and sods take! Worth it in the end though. Yeah it does gradually warm it up in the bathroom, once our batteries are in we’ll be able to use the diesel heater for the bedroom and bathroom as well
That's great 😊
14:16 LOL
This is what I put up with most days 😂
@@DanniandJoe That is my kind of humor, she's a keeper!
Plumbing is a litle bit more than just plumbing...
Very true!
Will the waste drain plumbing need an air vent?
Umm not sure on that!
Please make sure you get a couple of smoke detectors in there log burner could have a funny turn in the night and you could get a gas leak while sleeping and sufacate
Yeah we’ll be fitting a few, we’ve got a carbon monoxide at the minute, just waiting for the cupboards to be up so we can mount them in their forever home
Can I ask what colour was the green called and make please
Crushed Pine 1 by Dulux, we used a quick dry satinwood (water based). Crushed pine 2 is also really nice
Just wondering . . . Why are you not using your diesel heater to warm the inside while you’re working?
The diesel heater is almost ready to go, the main thing is not having our batteries connected yet and we’re running the lights off a random spare battery we have, if we used the diesel heater it would empty the charge within a day I think
Just out of I terest when's Joe's birthday
Also why did you not put underfloor heating on the boat?
9th May! I can see the appeal of underfloor heating on a boat, with the cold water beneath you it makes sense. We were set on a log burner as nothing better than sitting in front watching the fire. We’ve also got the diesel heater which is simple ambient heat and easy enough to install.
:)
Thanks Jon!
👍👌🇨🇦❤
Thanks!
All blokes buy rubbish vehicles it's in our jeans.
Don't paint your new doors they look great in there natural state
No we’re planning on leaving them exposed pine to go with the floor and ceiling trims etc. Really like the contrast between wood and paint
