Thank you Peter! It was surprisingly debilitating, but taking lots of breaks made it manageable. I am determined to never succumb to this again! Cheers and see you next week!
My wife and I were in Victoria last week and your two boats sitting at the dock looking great! Hope life continues to be good for you. Cheers from Alberta
@ The color temperature of those lights is wonderful. At night the cabin must feel very cozy. It’s amazing how much nicer that area looks when there’s no shadow. I also like the fact that the light is continuous with no gap between the leds.
I hope your back gets better soon ! I've never before suffered with back problems but recently I have had a couple of pretty minor issues and it is no joke ! It seems to catch you out when you least expect it and there is never a good time for issues like that, take care Peter !
Love it - a very nice job of wiring today. Those old Land Rover bonnets (Aussie for hood) with a spare tire, well they were the bane of my existence as an apprentice motor mechanic. Those days are long gone but my back remembers.... hope you are felling (feeling edit, felling might just be what you are feeling) better soon. For those wanting to play along WOTW was bonnet!
Of course you hurt your back, looking at the engine with that big old spare tire up on the hood. I was a victim of a spare tire once myself. It took two weeks for my pinched nerve to really get back to normal. The light strip looks wonderful. Keep up the great work.
Interesting fact: COB LED's are addressable and programmable. The program chains the addresses in the command line. You could make five of them stacked, spell out things.
There was a incident maybe two years ago of the french coast guard becoming very irritated while trying to hail a french tugboat at sea. The coasties boarded as officiously as only irritated coasties can to the complete surprise of the tug crew. The tug had not heard the hail at all . The cuase of the incident was determined to be the magnetic fields generated by LEDs used for both running lights(Near the antenna ) and overhead lighting in the wheel house. The International maritime organization is considering a rule on LEDs. Have you ever held a radio near an energized LED strip? Nocks the hell out of the singnal. Just food for thought. (Ed) A note on wire . Never paint wires. As paint dries it cracks the insulation. Repainting creates more cracking force. These micro cracks let moister in that also lead to the destruction of long lengths of wire. If you must paint , parcel the wire with tape and paint that parcelling.
Lower back exercises. Must continue to breathe while doing these. Pull in stomach muscles like somebody is going to punch you below the belly button. Hold for 10 seconds. Release. Do this 12 times a day. 10 seconds at a time. This does a better job then the electrodes and pulsed current PT clinics do.
Still using the HAND hammer I see. So my warnings over the last 4 years, have fallen on deaf ears. Fast forward 15 years and you will regret it. But, another enjoyable episode.

The lighting looks wonderful. Hope your back gets better soon. Thanks for filming this episode which must have been painful.

Happy birthday 🎂 🥳
Fantastic as usual. Inspirational. So much so I have been restoring a wood boat myself. Thank you Peter
Nice job Peter! Hope your back feels better soon.
Looks great Peter!
Sweet! 👍🏼
Thank you very much! I am happy with how it turned out. Thanks for your support and see you next week. Cheers!

Great work, looks good.
I guess I no longer have any excuses about not installing the strip light under my wall units. It always looks easier when some one else is doing it.
Go for it! While some steps are a little frustrating, the effect is so rewarding. It's worth it. Cheers!
Nicely done Peter. It's been awhile since I've seen the inside of Poem and I have to say that I "Love it, love it, love it!" You do fine work!
great channel better each episode, watched for a few years when you first got boat
I hope your back gets better soon !

Great work Peter. Those COB lights are fantastic, we have them in places in the house too. Hope your back heals quickly.
Certainly well lit 👍🏼

I hope your back better soon .

Bad back for 43 years...I feel your pain! I lifted the paper tray from a printer on top of a file cabinet! Down down down , ouch!!!!!

Back issues are not fun. Hope you get better soon. Nice work lighting project.
Thank so much! I can say this really set me back. But I am grateful to pull of this fun little project. Thanks for watching and see you next week!

Enlightened l am Peter😅😅

So, is Geordie on it's way out? Seems like this has become Travel's with Poem.
