Hiya Mate, It's so difficult to record anything whilst we are fitting out and you can only show so many nails being hammered eh! I've been enjoying your stuff 🤓
Good to see you both and Dylan, just a tip to save damaging the axe, place a bit of wood down and chop through the stick to that. The boat is looking to homely now, love the feel of it. Take care.
Hi Christine, Thanks for your advice and the compliments, I was just going to chop a little bit of kindling but got carried away, anyway no excuses I should have put a block down and will do in future. The Jeremiah Lee is no longer as her name was changed whilst we were out of the water and will be revealed soon, anyway as you say, she is definitely feeling more homely but refitting the boat been a long slog and now we have the added pressure of trying to finish it on time! Can't wait to start cruising eh! Regards, Martin
Your boat is coming along. Love the galley - lots of room to move and prepare food or at least it looks big in the video. How long is it by chance? I have noticed, when working on boats, a small job has an effect on so many other parts of the boat. Good luck with the bathroom.
Hi Chris, Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments. As a 65' Trad we're a foot shorter than you, so small engine room, bedroom, bathroom and the rest of the boat up front is (10mts) about 33', six and a bit feet for the dinette, then there are two 4mtr worktops one has been ripped down to 360mm deep and put on top of wall units and the other side is base units. This allows enough room for us to pass each other and helps with the feeling of openness, the remaining 10 foot...ish makes up the lounge as we struggle to call it a saloon. We actually brought another worktop onboard, so in total 11meters of oak which we trimmed and tucked to make a TV stand, the Dinette table and bathroom wash basin. As you say, everything you do has a knock on effect, so we need to finish the solar on the roof to bring the cables in through the bathroom ceiling (existing hole which will be boxed in by solar panel storage boxes) before we can crack on with the bathroom. Loving your channel, great presentation and footage, you've got some great things going on and can't wait to see the boat finished. Catch up soon, Martin
@@narrowboatnomads it’ll be great to meet up someday soon. To rip the shower out by the way, having watched others vlog on the subject will no doubt lead to another job that you’ll have to do in order to get the shower room complete. Never ending. But, like the table and I’ve been looking/nosing at decor. Need to make a home out of a boat. Green fern.
Hi Tracey, Thanks for watching, thanks for commenting and especially thank you for the nice things you said eh! They call the blinds - "plantation shutters" which originated in ancient Greece, anyway we saw them on another boat when we were looking for our boat. They have probably reduced the amount of light coming in a little bit but they do make the lounge area feel even more homely and they can be adjusted to catch and filter the light, particularly when the sun is reflecting off the water and up onto our shimmering ceiling... just lovely. After nearly a year of refitting J-Lee (we have the new name for the boat, to be revealed shortly) that top of Donnas' is one of the few clothes she has that isn't covered in paint or oil. The good news is it is her birthday soon so she will have some new outfits ready for cruising. Hope we speak again soon, Martin
Hi Lynda, I think what you're referring to is the opening scene when we are sat in the well deck. That's a little triangle of boat at front which is outside. During the winter we have a "cratch cover" which is a bit like a tent that can be zipped up to keep the rain out, we can take it off during the summer. Hope you're well. Regards, Martin
Great to see you both and Dylan. Thanks for the update. Keith Melbourne Australia
