Danni & Joe
It’s to see a young couple, knowing so much knowledge, brilliant
If everyone else is like me ur not boring at all - i could watch another 30 minutes easy. Happy anniversery 2 both of u
Thanks Cliff!
Danni deserves a medal for being so cheerful after a night shift 👍👍
Thank you haha.
Happy anniversary. Wife Georgia and I hit seven years and tested our relationship to destruction being our own general contractor for first home.
Wallpapered walls together sealed the deal that we were keepers for each other. That was 40 years ago; still together.
I’d say you are “ keepers” too. Good luck.
Thank you! Oh wow we’ve not tackled wallpaper, that really is a test! 😂
I too am concerned about a grate!
Love the pink grout!
Do you have a grate in your new log burner? If not, at some point the heat with burn through the bottom of your log burner (your grate is your sacrificial metal). Huge apologies if you have, but rather give the advice than you come a cropper. Boat is looking great guys, you should be proud of yourselves.
Thank you, yes got a grate on order, have left the ash to build up in the bottom at the moment to minimise the problem & fire bricks ready to go in
Wasn’t getting bored,you two are never boring. Y’all are a hoot (this is merely an observation) if it doesn’t move Danni paints it and if it doesn’t move Joe cuts a hole in it….Please don’t get mad at me,because I think you both are great together and I love your channel. Just keep on being you and making memories. 😀😉
😂😂 thank you!
At one point (might not have been this exact video) I heard Joe say "measure twice, cut once". My dad who was apprenticed as a joiner in 1946 always used to say that. Used to get me holding the end of boards he was sawing when I was little. The other one he used to say was "when I nod my head, you hit it".
Ahh what a memory! My dads always said it but usually after he’d forgotten and cut it wrong! 😂
Joe,surely that stove needs a Grate in it? Glenn 👍
Good progress guys!
Don't forget to allow for the weight of the mattress when you make your final decision on the gas struts.
👍
Thank you! Yeah these struts do work OK with the mattress but may upgrade to maybe 350-400n struts in the future though (they’re 300n at the moment and it closes a little too easy
Been watching your video’s non stop the past 2 weeks.. love it!! I dont have a narrow boat but ( building a campervan ) its is so great to Watch you make your beautifull home! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 🙂
Great vlog and the bed hinging, fantastic. Just what we needed to give us the push to make the storage under our bed more accessible! Go you guys xxx
Aw good! It's such a big amount of space
And the medal goes to.......... Joe. Nice work on the bed Gary. Your home is really coming together now, keep up with the excellent work you guys.
Haha I agree! Thank you, nice to see progress.
Could have kept watching 🤔 Just saying 😉 it's looking fantastic, you're doing a great job
That's three of us she's looking great inside Marty Australia
Me 4 :)
Thanks for watching!
@@ItsOhJoe thanks for replying, it amazes me how many that don't ;)
But then again with say 1k sub's it's would be a full time job :)
Take care
P. S how was the wine?
I looked it up after that glowing reference :)
Hi guys, I'm sure you have one, but just in case you overlooked the idea, please put a temporary battery operated carbon monoxide alarm in, now that you have your burner going. XXX. Loving your vlog. I think you could go to 45 mins, no bother. Keep it up.
Thank you! Yeah we bought one as soon as we lit the burner
The boat is starting to take shape guys loving it
Thank you!
Hi guys another great vlog.
The bed looks great but I would suggest a couple more support beams under the bed ply base. I know 18mm ply is strong but over such a wide opening it will definitely sag over time, even if it was only one beam across the middle it would help prevent any movement. Otherwise I think it looks fantastic.
Thanks Keith yes will look into beefing it up due to the span
Happy Anniversary guys, thank you for sharing your special day with us all. Glad the gas struts worked out well. Now you can open it one handed with a glass of 🍷 in the other 😊
😂 Thank you!
Hi Danni and Joe. Congratulations on your anniversary. Having celebrated our 50th this year (with no medal for George !) we wish you many more and much happiness. The progress on the boat is terrific, and we're continually amazed at your creativity, commitment and determination to overcome any problems that come up - fantastic. Best wishes for continued success with it. George and Trish - CaravanningMacs
Aw congratulations, thanks for watching!
I think Joe definitely needs the medal lol. I know if it was me with Danni we would of been divorced along time ago. She would of stressed me out far to much during the build 😂😂
She's worth it! She's also the bread winner! 😂
You definitely deserve the medal mate
Thank you!
Well done looking gooood, all the best for 2022
Thank you!
Hi both, just to backup another comment made it is essential that you put a grate in the bottom of your log burner it only needs to be 2 or 3inches off the bottom. Keep going
Thank you yes we’ve got a small one on order will just need to chop it up a bit to fit it in!
Always feels good to get things ticked off and you guys are moving forward at a good pace really. Congrats on your anniversary! Just celebrated 30th wedding anniversary with my "boss", and 45 years together total.
Haha congratulations! Danni is the boss for sure.
Happy anniversary and the boat looks great. If you ever have another nut
situation like you had at the 4:20 mark you can put a small pair of vice-grips
on the nut to hold it while you twist the bolt from the other side. Vice grips
are always my tool of last resort since it is sooooo easy to mess things
up with them.
Also, if you ever need to drill a bunch of big holes ever again you can always
use a bit of liquid hand soap to make it easier. A drop or two around the outside
can help a bit. Great job.
Great tips cheers!
As Nate said, "Could have kept watching" Thank you for these vlogs.
Thanks for watching!
Hi d&J
Hope you kept all your cutout circles as Danny could make an art project with different colours as wall art have fun happy anniversary don’t be getting itchy🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha good idea!
With time…you could think of widening the sleep area of your bed by installing a folding leaf on one side of the bed. With a “futon” and memory foam combo …. You simply slide the extra width up against the wall during the day and fold the leaf down. Presto … a day bed for reading and resting. That extra foot or so in width makes a huge difference in comfort.
All the best. Cheers 🥂
Yes a really good idea - someone we met in the marina had an extra bit of ply and essentially slid their mattress away from the wall which helped as well!
@@ItsOhJoe Glad you might be able to use this simple system. Just to add clarity to my suggestion… I was imagining for you… a drop leaf on to one side of the bed which when flipped up is secured by pivoting supports which disappear within the bed frame during the day. The leaf folds down and takes up no room safe for the thickness of the ply. The leaf can be affixed to the frame by using three to four ordinary hinges or ….if you wish a well priced piano hinge.
Happy Holidays to you and yours
Canada’s Eastern Seaboard 🎄🇨🇦
Don’t forget to put some insulation in your stud work it helps a lot
We decided against using any as thought it would keep the heat out of the bathroom (from the fire) if that makes sense? Might’ve been the wrong call but we’ll live with it 😂
Congratulations on 7 years together. And don’t put down wine glass girl.
Thank you! Haha nope, wine is important.
Wow what a difference keep up the good work yr vids are awesome to watch 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Hi Jo Danny, glad you brought a decent hot air blower what make is it ,putting gas struts on the bed top is a bloody good idea young man every time I watch a new blog it sure dose look like a narrowboat it’s becoming a new home for you and jo ,see jo has got the paint brush out again if I was you Danny I would keep moving so Jo don’t paint you lol 😆 what they say in the Army if it moves shoot it if it don’t move paint it lol😂🤣 , till next time take care keep safe, John 🤷♂️🤷♀️😂🤣🙏🙌👍🎄🌹🌹
Thanks John! The heater is a Webasto, we’ve fitted an Espar before so thought we’d give them a go this time. 😂😂
@@ItsOhJoe I used that type on my tug boat it was excellent.never no trouble only when I was out it a storm with 4 meters swell and got some water in the air intake,other wise great 👍
Hi you lovely couple, did you finish the stern floor cos one of your videos showed Joe prep & painting it after a day's grafting of working on it but we don't see a video following on from there. Also, we haven't seen you on a video fitting your new water tank......mmmmmh 🤔 strange! Nice job so far, love watching your journey 👍😉 X
Can't wait to see the end result! Great job guys!👏
Yes and us! Cheers
Yes definitely!
You two are doing a fantastic job on your boat ☺️ it's looking really lovely,,,,,oh and Happy Anniversary 7years ,,best wishes from Frances in Ireland co.mayo 😊😊
Thank you!
Happy Anniversary 💗🍺🎉🎈
Thank you so much 😀
Hi that Bed base is so holey , you’ll have to take it to Church.👍
Lol!
Congratulations on your 7th anniversary! The boat is
really starting to come together now.
Thanks John!
Really impressed guys. The boat looks better and better every video. Great work!
Thank you!
Excellent episode, well done. I am sure you are getting really excited about how it is turning out.
Thank you! Yeah the end is almost in sight, well not quite but more in sight than it was about a month ago when it was still an empty base!
Happy Anniversary! You are both so positive and not afraid of hard work to achieve your dreams which is so inspirational in such young uns! Watching your future home slowly appearing is such a joy. Thank you.
Thank for for supporting our channel!
You guys clearly have a very good understanding and deep knowledge about building, woodworking, wiring and the other things you're doing on the boat. Heck, you've used tools and devices I never even knew existed! Would you mind sharing where you learned all these skills?
Thanks so much! Just picked up different things along the way really, Joe’s dad is a builder so he learnt stuff from him. We converted a van a couple of years ago and learnt a lot then too!
@@ItsOhJoe Thanks so much for the info! I don't feel quite so bad about my inability to do this kind of thing knowing that Joe had a bit of a head start!
another great video. Could maybe try using smaller bolts with washers on the gas struts
It’s the locating bolts on the hinges themselves that’s the problem, will need to order some new struts to solve it unfortunately!
Thanks for all your efforts, in producing really good videos, 👍🏻🇬🇧
Thanks for watching!
no matter how long the vids are for as you both are doing great as looking forward to the end finish off the boat as cant wait to see the colours you got for each room ????
Yes! Colours are going on the walls as we speak!
Great vlog the bed looks great. It’s coming together so well. 😊
Thank you!! 😊
When you really want to finish something alone (like the bolts thru the hull), masking tape is your friend. Tape a wrench to the nut with masking tape. The tape keeps it from falling off. Then you just have to deal with it spinning...
Easy fix! Will try that next time
I am really enjoying these videos keep up the good work
Thanks Gerry
It’s looking great. I often wonder watching narrow boat restorations, how much weight is added to the empty shell of a narrow boat. How much weight is too much? I’ve never seen it mentioned in any vlog, maybe it don’t matter! 😂
So traditionally they were constructed simply for carrying massive loads & no doubt were constantly running up and down the country fully loaded (even over loaded) - a fully fitted narrowboat now shouldn’t come anywhere near to a full load of coal for example. The main worry would be the draft or distance between the bottom of the boat and the bottom of the canal but that would vary between boat. Bit of a guessing game I’d assume!
Hi guys I follow you blogs all the time fantastic job on the narrowboat May I ask what the dimensions are for you bed plz
So it’s a small double, 120x190cm, height wise we built it up by about 6/700mm
Well done you two, coming along heaps and bounds👍
Thank you!
Great progress guys. Happy anniversary.
Thank you!
You can grind a slot into the end of the bolts with allows you to use a screwdriver to stop then turning whickt using a open ended spanner to tighten the nuts down in cases where you cant physically get to both sides
Didn’t think of that! Will give it a go next time!
Awesome video really enjoyed watching this week's video plenty going on and getting done the bedrooms looking mint congratulations on 7 years together you guys are a Awesome couple and you would bore me if the video was an hour cracking video you guys ☺👍
Aw thank you!! It means a lot.
Hi Danni, Joe, Happy Anniversary. Your boat is looking more amazing week by week. Great to see Uncle Garry again. Really enjoyed this week's Vlog .Thank you. Have a great week. Take Care.
Thanks for watching! Uncle Garry has been a blessing for sure
Getting there guys, well done, 😁👍
Thank you!
Keep going strong really interesting to watch, try and get some type of perspex to act as double glazing to stop condensation rubber seal around the edge push fit in .dave (cambridge)
Seen a few people doing this, does it work?
@@ItsOhJoe yes it does work, keeps down most of the condensation, cuts out a lot of noise and stops cold air coming in we had our 60x10 boat done which we live on. Take them out in summer and put back in autumn time would not be with out them
Looking good Happy Anniversary x
Thank you!
Guys I think you might want to rethink your air inlet for your diesel heater. It has the potential to suck diesel fumes in from the exhaust. They tend to smoke a little on start up. You could draw the air inlet from inside the boat so as the boat warms up it'll reduce the effort on the heater and make it more efficient.
You really can't draw air from inside the boat.
@@theotherstevesteve is there a reason why, as factory vw campers do.
@@theotherstevesteve Read the manual.
@@carlwilliams4705 the requirements of the boat license in the UK are thar these heaters must be room sealed.
@@johnglover9935 it doesn't take much at all to maintain a civil tone.
Looks great. Love the bed frame!
Thank you! We are really pleased with it.
Lovely brother ❤️❤️
Thanks!
"It's quit heavy, isn't it" - were'd you get your mattress, from the flinestone's! "bedrock"
Haha good one!
Congratulations on your anniversary!
Thank you!
Looking good keep up the good work
Thanks for watching!
Turning the numbers on the drill isn’t turning the power up. The numbers are for strength that it puts in screws and then stops. Ie how tight screws go in. On drill setting it’s disabled.
Every day is a school day! Thought it was the how manly do you want your drill control 😂
GREAT use of pretty classy music... - Locally and organically sourced...?
All from epidemic sound!
good vid on the work on the boat thanks lee
Thanks for watching!
Happy anniversary to you both, love watching your videos, take care 🙂 ❤
Thank you! You too!
Do not move the Webasto intake indoors! One important thing with warm fresh air is that it will bring a lot moisture out; ie you have the intake outdoors.
Getting a bit of conflicting info on the air inlet, can see both sides of the argument. I guess less condensation vs more efficient.
Love the progress you are making. Starting to look like a boat. I wouldn’t have put the log burner in though. They are dirty. The diesel heaters are brilliant. Joe, you are doing a great job.
Why are they dirty? I have one and they are fine, diesel stinks.
We are really loving the log burner, we had a diesel heater in our van and got on well so have the best of both worlds.
Happy Anniversary. You are doing a great job. Where did you get the bracket/ hinges from for the bed
Hey! Thank you - they are from eBay, ottoman storage lift up bed hinge
Hi guys.. Love your videos & always watching to see what's next & how you did stuff. My gf has just bought a 45ft 1989 narrowboat & we have completely gutted it (soon to also be a vlog) but was wondering what heater did you use in the engine bay... So much choice & opinions around was wondering what you chose as the installation doesn't look too bad to do
Ahh what a lovely project! So we went with (unconventionally) an air heater as that’s what we used in the van and it was really simple compared to a radiator system. In the van we used an Eberspacher D2 and the boat we used the Webasto Airtop 2000 (essentially the same just different brands). To install on a boat you’ll need a couple of different bits - copper fuel line (might have some of this left over that you’ll be welcome too if it’s any use), a hull exhaust outlet and some exhaust insulation. Then depending on how far you want the heat to travel you’ll need a decent roll of the ducting, we used a 10m coil as the interior of our boat is only 10m, plus any outlet fittings for venting off into separate rooms. If you pop us an email danniandjoetravel@gmail.com I’ll pop some links back to you for a shopping list if you like.
@@ItsOhJoe thank you been alot of work so far but lots of fun too. Can follow @driftwoodfolk UA-cam & Instagram ha. BTW appreciate your reply and congratulations. We hope you enjoyed your trip. Oh okay I was thinking the same things tbh. Yes we want to go Air heater as well as our log burner as we are limited on space.
Really? That's much appreciated il drop you a line. Would be lovely to get some advice and chat. Many a time I have watched and rewatched your videos to understand things (sorry not sorry). That would be epic. No quite there yet as we are currently doing the ballast and redoing the floor but any help especially form you guys is greatly appreciated.
Stud! Defo ;))
Haha cheers!
Now I am imagin you'r buiding a floating home. But I will not win a quizz with that....
Getting there!
Do yourself a favour, put some sound dampening material like Rockwool or similar inside those panels!
We debated it but thought it would block any heat the fire gives off from entering the bathroom? Might’ve made the wrong decision but we’ll see 😂 there’s not much we haven’t heard in our relationship
Hi chaps hope you are both well ....I have a question the brackets that you used on yr bed lid ...what are they called ???? ...please.and thank you ..
Ottoman bed hinges!
@@ItsOhJoe thank you for that much appreciated 🙏
I’m using my iPhone to watch your videos. Problem, how do you get them to run consecutively
diesel heater pump needs to be on an angle check youtube
Read the instructions as 0-45 degrees max, will have another look!
And just keep filming could watch moor there not boring
Thank you!
👍👌🇨🇦❤
Thanks for watching!
:)
Thanks for all your support Jon!
I hope you’re not gonna paint it like the yellow submarine hippie Days are gone
Haha that would be cool!
👩🏼❤️💋👨🏻 happy anniversary. Wow you are steaming ahead now. Can’t wait for the colours 🎨
Thank you!
I’m starting from the beginning and I’m sure you have already figured this out but if not you put the intake for the cabin air 2 feet from the exhaust pipe oops.
Yes we avoided that crisis in the end thanks to some comments! Didn’t even think of the consequences. 😫
