    Honestly, it's amazing what you have achieved in the last 12 months. The day will finally come when you can sail out of there to do the final dry dock stuff on the hull, pat yourselves on the back drink a cold adult beverage and say "Well it's done.... what the bloody 'ell were we thinkin?

    The sections of your ship that are restored look incredible! Your attention to every detail shows in your workmanship. The ceiling insulation really gave that room a more "cozy" look. Can't wait to see the finished ceiling.
    I am always fascinated by the tide coming and going. I live in Michigan, USA, which is surrounded on three sides by five large, fresh water "great lakes", so I am used to a lot of water, but it doesn't come and go😊
    Keep up the good work!!
    As I am 75, I am just hoping to live long enough to see this ship restored and put to good use!😉

    Ahh, it's great to see all your 'Caravan' skills have proved so easily transferred to ship 'Happening'. Doesn't hurt to have most of the tools needed for resurrecting a WWll ship and bring her back to life. Now she can happily 'sail' once again with a happy family aboard. Can't wait for Robbo, I mean, you guys, to finish all the hard stuff. But a boat is never 'Finish built', she's only transferred to the new repair crew... 🤣👍🎉

    You might consider getting an applicator gun for the squirty foam, they are easier to use, cannisters are cheaper and you don't waste much as the part-used cannisters last ages if left on the gun.

    The roof insulation should be fully sealed with aluminium tape to all the joints and under the joists to prevent vapour transferring to the underside of the roof, where it will condensate. The alternative is to use a minimum of 500g polythene with taped joints to the whole underside of the roof. A marine environment is by its nature a high humidity one so that condensation is a real risk especially with good insulation.
    The air space above the insulation board adds to the total insulation value if it is not ventilated but to say that it will help with condensation is untrue and naive.

    • @iankynaston-richards883
      @iankynaston-richards883 Рік тому

      Agreed. Trapped moisture will condense and eventually breakdown the paint layer on the wood, leading to eventual rot.

    • @clivewilliams3661
      @clivewilliams3661 Рік тому

      @@jackdbur The aluminium tape should be used in addition to the spray foam sealing, not as a substitute. The spray foam fills the gaps left by the board installation that gives a path for heat dissipation it is not a vapour barrier.
