Recently found your channel and am thoroughly enjoying your vlogs. Have caught up with all episodes and looking forward to future episodes.

Floor good. Lots of cuts to do in such a small place. Wndow, I'm sure you'll have the whole thing out, clean up edges and re seal... weather permitting.

Looks very good but I'm not too sure about the peel n stick, from my experience many years ago it may exude glue at the joins, and move around (hopefully nowadays the stuff is better). When I did my boat floor I used LVT with a proper tub of adhesive - parquet style tiles layed herringbone fashion - but it took ..a..g..e..s! Good luck anyway.

Paint looks good - and the lights!

It's a pretty nice boat but surprising just how much work you will still end up doing. Thats a kitchen refit, bathroom refit, bedroom refit and full redecorate. I don't know what your long term plans are with it but have you considered just enjoying it as it is?

Pompey Chimes is looking so cozy! A job well done freshening her up!

floor is looking really good.i have similar in my home so easy to keep clean .😊

great sofa bed

Get some Captain Tolley's. It's fantastic for sealing leaks that you can't really find.

❤☃️🛥☃️❤️

Found your channel today and enjoyed watching all the progress😁

Intrepid! Good job

Wow hope it was warm in the night hope you enjoyed your time and things work out for you

dont envy you with that job lifting the carpet,saloon area looking good when done😊

That looks very bonny, well done and a very Happy Christmas to you and yours and a Guid New Year when it comes.

That mosr certainly looked a hard frustrating job. It will look good once its done though. Happy Christmas to you and your family 🎄🤗

Lovely looking boat ,

The reason why the coal didn't burn very hot in the cage is because the combustion air was bypassing the fuel - basically choosing the path of least resistance and going around the fuel and straight up the flue. Coal needs it's air from below, where as wood doesn't really care. If you can devise a way to force the incoming air through the stack of fuel in the cage you'll find that it will burn much hotter. I have a boiler stove and I built a cage for the anthracite that covers the entire fire grate, thus ensuring that the combustion air has no alternative but to pass through the fuel. With a tweak or two I reckon you could make that lovely cage work as required. Love your channel by the way. Take care😊

Coal cage. You may find that the ashes do not easily come out of the gaps in your cage as they could be too small. I didn't see a riddle lever on your fire - do you have one? I have a Coal Cage and keep it in all the time - if I need extra heat then I just stack the coal up around it as well as in the cage itself. Sometimes I use wood around the edge if I need a burst of heat. As for the thermometer - I have mine further up the flue but I don't think they are really designed for a boat stove because if you get the needle in the range it states then it is too hot in the boat. You will get to know your stove after a few burns and will find your own way. The weather, wind, rain, how many windows you have open and lots more things denote how the fire burns. I used to have an 18 inch chimney until it got knocked in the canal and lost so bought a 12 inch one - I feel that I do not get as good a draught up the flue than what I did with the 18 one. hope this helps.

Ooo I'm loving the fridge wrap! Looking forward to seeing it on my girlie weekend on the boat next week! ❤

I dont know much about if you can already buy those cages it might be worth puting your name to it so people cant steal the idea and make money off tour idea, just a thought well done on the work so far

I watched the video yesterday and had a thought about the coal cage. Instead of it being a cylinder, would it work betfer if it was a basket that was flat with curved sides? I so think your thermometer was in the wrong place on the stove too. BTW, I know absolutely nothing about boats.

Looking forward to see how this project develops.

My Dad did sewage maintenance in Pompey for 40 years. Remember it involved rubber gloves and lots and lots of blue roll. 😉

Sorry but ,the wood looked beautiful and warmer . I’m just an old f*rt!! 😂

Great info on how to service the toilet boxes . I am looking at saving for an incinerating toilet I hope saves me the bother of stripping down I hate pump out toilets and see problems with the composting toilets with storage

The best way to clean your stove doors is with a little ash from the fire. Dampen a piece of kitchen roll, dap it into the ash and then rub on to the glass. Then with a dry piece of kitchen roll wipe dry. That will bring them up a dream.

Wow guys fantastic job. The ivory looks really nice. A total transformation. It lightens and brightens up the boat so much. I like the sage for the kitchen cabinets. Definitely the right choice to break up the ceiling. Top job.

Lovely boat, I’m looking forward to watching your adventures. X

It looks a lot lighter and bigger with the nice paint work. Do you intend to live on it full time?

It looks it has been looked after. What an exciting time. Can't wait to see what you do with her. Stay safe. Good luck on your journey 🤗

That is a spot on breakfast. Oh my word, that is a lot of work you've done, it looks great! That really is good stuff

The Rowbarge is fantastic - be careful entering the lock above though when the river is in fuill flow!

Was the boat named Pompey Chimes by someone’s living in Portsmouth?

Progress is being made well done, slow and steady wins the race as they say youve done well so far keep up the good work

Wow, what a difference some paint makes. The boat looks a bit wider and taller and a heck of a lot brighter. I love the sage green kitchen cupboards too as well as the new chrome lights. I am looking forward to further renovations. I

Looking forward to follow your progress

Wow that has made a great difference, and like you say, starting to look and feel like your boat now, well done to you folks. And the choice of masking tape colour, well what can I say, 😂

Looks fabulous, much better painted. Ha ha if that was me Sharon I would have said the same thing about the jumper! You're both doing a great job. Best wishes Christine x

Give a man a fry up and watch him go. 😂

Good choice for the colour, as it really brightens the inside up!

I don't live in that jumper BTW...its my decorating top 😂

Met this boat last year whilst cruising. Trust your a Pompey fan like myself.

Are you a Pompey boy?

Very nice, looks like a solid boat if dated!

Play up Pompey

Invest in a coal cage for the fire ...save money

Have seen this boat moored up where I live in handsacre by bridge 58 on the Trent and Mersey canal as a friend is a Portsmouth fan took a photo of it for him.maybe I’ll see it moored up here again good luck with refitting the boat.

Hi, I been watching various Narrowboat bloggers overs the past year or so, and started to plan out my fantasy boats, and Ive got to say the layout you have is extremely close to my design, question how long is Pompey Chimes

Used to see your boat when I was moored at Atherstone
