118. Narrowboat lights go on in the galley

[@nigeldibden9293]

In my opinion you're spot on with the lights James.

[@mranthonye]

So the ceiling is in. Good job James. I would love to come in and tidy up your floor space. You seem to be stepping over all this stuff. Apart from that I’m enjoying your uploads. Stay safe👊

[@earlelf3142]

I Like your lighting lay out, ease of use no shadows on the work spaces.

[@bigglesball5954]

Another great start to the Day. Well done James keep them coming.

[@christinegibbins6105]

Brilliant job James. Take care.

[@davidmoody4400]

Time for some sort of a haircut my man. Love the channel and watch it religiously every night 👍🏻 Dave

[@ruthscott5166]

It's really coming together, James. I think the light placement is perfect!

[@sharon2180]

25 below here, plus winds now 40 below......I think we have all had the worse winter, i.e. year. Take care stay warm..USA North Dakota

[@GeorgeStephen1959]

Please James, do yourself a favour when you install those usb outlets, Leave those Dust Cover on, as they are extremely useful at Stopping the ingress of Dust and Moisture, which are a killer to your electronics connected to them in the long run, believe me! Cheers, and a Great job on those lights, all lookig good. 😉👍👌😎😏

[@YellowPinkie]

Good for when the boat is left empty for extended periods.

[@tiggasmum]

Also if they are anything like mine in my tiny house, they do use a bit of power when they are left open, when living off grid, every little helps :)

[@TheDaf95xf]

Morning James. Every episode is like Christmas 🎄 with all the generosity of your viewers lol 😆 Looking good. Stay safe mate 👍🏻

[@paulsedman7876]

be careful,you dont want to get the fire to hot, it can damage your fire bricks inside or warp the fire its self.

[@normmcrae1140]

Over on this side of the pond - the professionals call it "Task Lighting" - Lighting that actually lights up what you want to see! If it doesn't light up what you need, it's worthless.

[@annclark5082]

Does your hob need a cable for electric ignition? Just a thought and don't think you have mentioned it.

[@henriqueriberia1640]

DPD provide a very good delivery service, extremely reliable.

[@MsVanorak]

You'll find the stove makes a lot of ash dust indoors so I think the dust covers on the usbs are really useful.

[@DEmma1972]

what day is tidy up day?

[@johnweatherley2850]

It was 4 weeks ago, unlucky you missed it ;-)

[@sarkybugger5009]

Food for us night owls. Off to bed with you, James.

[@colsphotography3319]

Don't worry about the alignment of ceiling lights James, they are there to serve a purpose not for aesthetics. However please tidy up the floor at least, what would H&S say? 😃

[@suecox2308]

Will someone send James a comb! (Just kidding, James!)

[@adds91]

Looking good 😄 have you got another time booked for the gas fitter?

[@stevearchtoe7039]

American viewer here: Holy shit dude I thought your thermometer WAS Fahrenheit! Did you check the temp on the silica/stainless steel on the interior? I’m guessing it was OK, ya did a good job on the install. Enjoying the vids. You’re making great progress. Well goodnight from Wisconsin where the C and F temperature scales will get close to converging this weekend.

[@suecox2308]

omg--I thought it was Fahrenheit, too!

[@RelaxingsoothingMusic]

Looking like a real narrowboat now James! Where's your Tv going to go!😁

[@VanFlicke]

How hot does a wood fire get? Most types of wood will start combusting at about 300 degrees Celsius. The gases burn and increase the temperature of the wood to about 600 degrees Celsius (1,112 degrees Fahrenheit). When the wood has released all its gases, it leaves charcoal and ashes.

[@michaelburns6197]

The mean flue gas temperature in this type of stove is typically somewhere between 225 and 325 degrees C. The stove top and the lower end of a single wall flue will be a bit less than the flue gas temperature. The temperatures for wood are normally less than those for solid fuel in the same stove. The fuel itself will obviously be much hotter. Red hot is between 500 and 1000 degrees C.

[@thepeanutgallery1699]

Ack! I thought you were saying it was up to 405F, not C!

[@timhewitt1976]

have you thought about running a cable for a usb charger out on to the stern deck, maybe by the engine controls? you might want to charge your phone or a Bluetooth speaker while cruising??

[@therealfosgate]

I've been binging through the episodes and was wondering if you ever went back to add that mushroom vent over the dinette. I haven't been able to tell from the camera angles (between the 2 panels - episode #100)

[@markoburrows]

Hi James, Very much enjoying your work. It's my experience that not all laptops charge that we'll from USB. have you considered fitting a small inverter with a single socket just in case?

[@davidhayward5625]

James, as a matter of interest are you making any of the light circuit's 2 way? Starting to make a difference with the roof liners going up must make you think you are winning, well done.

[@Orxenhorf]

Does British switch the usage of "square" and "squared" around from the way American uses them? Because "6mm squared" would be a 6mm by 6mm rectangular, or maybe a 6 mm diameter circle, cross section over here. You could run a small house off of that and have a really hard time bending it. I'm thinking your referring to what we would call "6 square mm" where it's the measure of the area and would be about 1.38mm in radius(corrected).

[@theotherstevesteve]

Yes he means 1.38 diameter , 6 square mm. The units are read mm2 (mm squared) as in all scientific notation.

[@helenhall3705]

@@theotherstevesteve written mm2= pronounced square millimetres 😉

[@michaelburns6197]

Yes, only 1.38mm is the radius of the cross-sectional area (2.76mm diameter).

[@sknight1963]

Well after all the trouble to take the panel down, I think you should have gone ahead and installed a mushroom vent.

[@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt]

That would have meant cutting a hole in the steel and welding in a vent - no thanks. Already got 5 - just don’t know where they are !!!

[@hmarc417]

Excellent Excellent.. but i think the word you were searching for was ( SHITE) he he he he CHEERS CHEERS

[@TairnKA]

Obviously you got a good stove and the heat barriers are doing their job, congrats. ;-) BTW - when you tried to aim the big fan towards the galley, did it spread the heat like you hoped? Ok, how many mushroom vents are there and how many holes have you cut? ;-D

[@markkasprzak995]

The lights are in the correct locations, quit second guessing yourself. Very lucky getting that bit of flex. Stay safe. Crack on.

[@mikemccrory6054]

Come on James you cannot let that fire get the better of you. A bit of experience and preemptive use of the fuel and the vents and you’ll be outwitting it in no time.

[@johnmccormick4055]

Ceiling lights waste of time I re done my boat I have lights wer I need them. Stick to open plan liven for heating and your mental health.
