in my narrowboat on the edge of the shower tray where you siliconed it i put some white pvc angle on mine and siliconed it on from underneath this looks really neat and stops the water beading over the edge and makes it fully water tight i spoke to you in a previous vide of yours regarding the inner window trim mine is the exact same setup as yours ..what have you used in the bottom left and right corners of the window frame it looks like you have left them unsealed from the video normally on narrowboats the window is not actully in the shower but mine is like yours and i was concerned about water getting in and around the window trim and getting behind the walls rotting them and having water sat in the bilge what you can't see or get too to remove

Hi Andy, yes in retrospect PVC angle would have been a good solution to that corner with the door frame. I'm sure I will need to redo it at some point and I'll use some PVC angle then. I've actually run a bead of silicone around the inside of the window frame now to stop water running down the inside. Not much water gets on the window or frame, so it's a bit of a belt and braces solution.

its reassuring to know phil vandelay's design won't fall apart with less-than-ideal welds! i've been considering it but i've got no welding experience. i've got a free bike with square tubing that would look good with square stock welded on. if its too hard to weld i've got an old bmx that would work too (i was going to use its fork for this build anyway)
@EddHawkes Ай бұрын
I have done plenty of welding in the past, but I absolutely would not call myself a welder. I can usually tell what I've done wrong from the look of a weld 😂 The welds on the part of the frame that I made from all new steel are decent. It's where I've joined to the existing bike frame that it gets a bit embarrassing. That said, it's holding and I've had some mega loads on it. I'd encourage you to practice on some scrap with a similar thickness to your tubing if you've never welded before. There are some great welding video tutorials on KZbin which will teach you the basics. Good luck and have fun! I've got a 4130 steel bike which I found at the side of the road lined up for the next one ☺️

@@EddHawkes thanks for replying! ive got family who're decent at welding and i may just ask for their help. or maybe ill try brazing! itll let me use aluminum too! i plan on making the bed about half a meter and making use of bent round tubing instead of square miters where i can

I used to work as a caretaker for a Council housing department, lots of very basic domestic repairs in peoples homes, my boss always thought it funny that I (with respect) just like you Ed would talk myself through a project, breaking everything down into small manageable parts, start, middle & finish, if in doubt I was never afraid of asking my boss a stupid question, I’d rather that than making a stupid mistake!.

Did ou use marine ply? I didn't hear you say. Can i ask what dimension is your kitchen? My daughter and partner are doing a narrow boat from scratch so i am interested. The big problem they have is they've got a giant bloody engine about a third of the way along, i wish they could change that some how. Always good to see other boaters ideas. Take xare🤗
@EddHawkes Ай бұрын
I used hardwood structural plywood for the shower. It's still uses a waterproof adhesive but not quite as weatherproof as marine. However, the shower shouldn't be subjected to quite as harsh conditions as being outside in all weathers. I also painted it with several thick coats of paint before sticking the lino on. The kitchen is 2200mm X 1750mm. The breakfast bar uses standard 600mm deep counters and the narrow counter is 490mm deep. I'm using standard sized kitchen appliances so I have a bigger range to choose from. Hope that helps. Happy to answer any more questions you have 🙂

i have the same sort of shower setup as you in my 43ft narrowboat boat i'm wondering what are you going to use to seal round the shower window to make it waterproof ..... it;s been mentioned to me that the windows are not normally in the shower like yours and mine so there's not much about to seal them the only thing i can find it a fibreglass window frame liner sort of thing which i'm not really keen on as my shower is clad with white pvc bathroom panels and the frame liners are only available in a dark wood grain effect
@EddHawkes 2 ай бұрын
Hi Andy, I'm using white bathroom silicone sealant to seal around the window frame. I've got a tool which makes a really neat looking bead, so it actually looks acceptable once done.

New shower hoses all seem to feel super cheap and shit. What used to be the standard quality of stuff now seems to be reserved for the hard to find premium expensive products only. Honestly that job with the lino is like my worst nightmare and all sealed up in the daylight it looked really rather neat. I fitted a small lino floor a few years back and made a right mess even though it was basically just a rectangle. The window trim looks fantastic!
@EddHawkes 3 ай бұрын
Thanks mate. Yeah, I've been dreading doing the lino for some time. I knew it was going to be awkward and only having one shot at it made it feel a bit stressful. It is actually pretty neat in the end and I'm not disappointed at all, which I was immediately afterwards. Thanks! Now I just need to work out how to fix it in nicely. Still scratching my head over that one!

Thanks so much! You can definitely learn! I'm a firm believer that anyone can do anything, as long as you are willing to learn.

I'm filming the next video now and I'm making silicone joins in the shower, it's not pretty, haha. I really hope these videos help. Please let me know how you get on, I'd love to know :)
