    Well done Canice with the ceiling. Can't be easy doing it solo and filming to boot! Take a bow! Joe

      Thanks Joe! It’s a lot of work, however it’s a record of the work and that’s what it’s all about!

    The best thing about your channel is the level of self reflection, your humor and your ability to laugh at yourself. Yes, bunging up the screws or at least take nice looking screws. Yes, that hole for the hook of the porthole isn't the prettiest. Yes the ceiling doesn't look perfect. But it's your boat and I think it matches you in the best way possible., you're rebuilding an entire interior, with limited founds and time. What's the alternative? Perfectionism, running out of money and never get it finished. Sad projects like that all over the place. You get it done and if you want to do something better you certainly have the skills to do so! Well done!

    • @canicebannon
      @canicebannon  7 місяців тому

      This is very true! Got to get it done and it only gets done by getting on with it. There will be a lot of finishing off videos at some point and things will start to make sense.
      Brass screws and brass cups! It’ll look like rivets…

    The ceiling looks fantastic. Amazing how you figured a way to do it all one handed. You certainly have a lot of skills. Canice, you must be feeling pretty good that your vision of what to do with the pews has really changed the entire look of Linda. Love that first bit of music. Very soulful, old south vibe. Hope all is well.

      It is an unbelievable result. I didn’t buy the panels with the ceiling in mind. I just thought I’d have somewhere useful to put them. I couldn’t believe I had just the right quantity….

    One of the things I like about your renovation/restoration is you are doing it single handed. Thus need a whole range of other problems to solve such as using the ratchet strap to hold things in place as you don’t have a second set of hands. Also the look of the boat is coming along nicely. Great job. ❤

    I think the Captain was probably more chuffed than he would ever admit. Speaking of restorations, the Captain could use a little of that himself!

    Hello Canice,
    I hope you’re having a great day and feeling all fine and dandy.
    Thank you for sharing another video of your “process” with me.
    I’m enjoying the journey. The ceiling looks really beautiful. You’re so clever, you really are. 🙂
    Please take care, be happy and if your paths ever cross, please could you pass along my best wishes to “Tiller Queen” Beth, and the ever fabulous Bertie.
    BIG hugs

    Your transmutation of Linda‘s ceiling reinforces your status as the Wizard of the Waterways, Alchemist of London’s Canals, and The Shipwright Sorcerer extraordinaire!
    Bravo, ol’ chap, bravo!
    I must say your videography spellbound me with each episode. However, this episode might have just rescued my life irreversibly. You see, since 1968, I’ve been putting my wides next to my narrows. Now, I can go out into public again without the shame of looking weird.
    Thank you for another magnificent work of videography. I loved the opening montage with blues music and the later rock ‘n’ roll piece as you worked your magic on the ceiling.
    All my best, and, of course, all my gratitude for these magnificent Vlogs.
    Michael
    P.S. The last time I worked on a pun on the word “pew,” it went completely ignored. So, I shan’t do that again.
    P.P.S. I’m actually relieved. I don’t have to spend an hour on coming up with a pun.
    P.P.P.S. That was the first time I ever used the word “shan’t.” which warms the literary cockles of my heart. 😂

    Okay, now I can go to bed. LOVE the pew-panel overhead. Disagree with Sea Captain: Panels could use a bit of touch-up to enhance the character they've acquired in long and interesting lives, like Linda herself. PS, Like the portholes and panels, that hanging lantern was made for Linda, but evidently got lost for a time.
