567. Moving two narrowboats for the last time ??

[@suzieq2958]

How lovely for you to have the twins' company. I expect they really like helping now they're a bit older. Well done both of you 😊 Now you can put all the handy suggestions to work on the next cupboard it's coming along nicely 😊

[@elkneto4334]

i love your videos, they are so true and personal.. one of the few i devour completely as soon as they appear.. thanks for the years

[@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt]

That’s very kind of you This one was a bit hotch potch

[@RetroRegan]

You can't beat a vibrating chair for relaxation. I bought recliner chair from a charity shop and put a massaging seat that was from my old car into it. Heat and vibration, great for a bad back.

[@annjarvis9300]

Boat work coming along nicely and the twins have grown blessings to you all enjoy time together the oldies 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@nickevans1698]

The Engine Sounds, I have a Beta 50 now James but still miss the sound of the Lister ST3 I had in our old boat. 😎

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

The twins have grown so much. They are adorable. Glad they were able to help you out. The boat is looking good. James. Hope you got something good from Vetus. 😊🤗 Kathy

[@Grizleea]

Love the lister sound

[@christinegibbins6105]

Great to see the twins and you on the move. Thanks for the update and take care.

[@hollysmothers3902]

Nice to see Arthur again! I've been wondering how he's doing. Getting so grown up!

[@sarkybugger5009]

Doesn't time fly? Make the most of the kids while you can, James. Before you know it, they'll have flown the nest. All the best, mate.

[@davidhayward5625]

Such a true statement!

[@williamwright7262]

You ain't sneaking up on anyone with that Lister.😂

[@davidday6838]

Hi James, it's always entertaining watching your adventures and videos, I don't always comment but I'm always watching and pushing the like button, every bit of cash helps I hope 😊

[@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt]

@@davidday6838 that’s very kind of you sir - thanks for taking the time to do that - means a lot

[@tangs167]

Looking good James, I'm still watching and following, even though I don't comment much. Hope you have a good week, Kevin

[@silverhairinabigfootsilver6766]

So good to see the twins again.

[@andyince]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Give it away with the boat mate! you can finally get rid of it!!! all the best😄

[@russellsimson6424]

Wow, everything is moving forward. The boat is looking great 👍. Are you going to be helping May with her new boat.

[@arthurraymond6239]

Kids change in the blink of an eye 🤔👌👍

[@JB-ek4yx]

Could one of the cupboards in the midships have a full-height door to be a small wardrobe for the girls' future use as it won't be too long before they need one rather than just trunks/ drawers ?

[@alancollins9790]

However loud the Lister is, I still prefer the sound of that to the Vetus.

[@MarcelEling]

Will the Vetus become the age of the Lister too?:)

💜💙💚

[@StormwatchDruid]

Well that was weird, I was just thinking how much the kids have grown, then you mention Arthur was 7 and now five years later.

[@helentinkletoesadvsfromacb]

I was just thinking how much they've grown up, just as my twin son who is 16 walked in the room 😂

[@truckercharlied6056]

I live in the US so I'm being curious why do you have to move so much ?

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

great vid on channel thanks lee

[@tonyfaulkner7309]

The old Lister is probably more reliable than your new boat

[@JimMays-tt7yx]

I much prefer the sound of the Lister , A proper engine.

[@martykitson3442]

🤠👍👍👍

[@YoutubeHero666]

winaMarrowboat :) mays link is wrong

[@louise3780]

still prefer the lister

[@dozergyp]

After watching your videos, Don’t you think with the help you have had from your channel people donating money etc over the years, You raffled your boat I think you could have helped someone else doing there boats with some cash and information.

[@human6.045]

He had to pay the guy for the second boat, Dozer, it wasn't free. I'm not sure how much it cost, but the second boat also needs work done, which is costly of course.

[@dozergyp]

I have had to pay for all work on my boat, He's not that hard done too Plus he had a job Won't watch anymore of his videos

[@human6.045]

@@dozergyp I do understand what you're saying Dozer, I've seen so many KZbinrs play what looks like a bad hand...then get help, only to find out later they had money to buy a property or something similar not much further down the road; they'd been saving apparently and that didn't count. I'd a mate do this to me almost 40 years ago. He was skint for months and I was helping him out, buying him food. He turned up one day in a fancy car, months later. I asked him where he'd got the extra money from since he'd been skint, he said he'd been skint because he had been saving. Yes, it did leave a bitter taste in my mouth as he smirked, tbh. The moral of the story I guess is, some folk have a different set of morals, some folk 'except' this indifference, and some don't. Some KZbinr's see KZbin as a job/buisness, as a KZbin business they feel these are the perks of the job. I like decent clarity usually before helping anyone, if I find they've played what seems like a deceptive game...I'm usually gone and will warn others. I only help/contribute if I'm entertained enough, learned something useful, or genuinely think 'I know' help is required; although the last one is questionable sometimes. James eventually wanted a bigger boat, like most seem to do, eventually. A subscriber came to a deal with James for their unwanted boat. James then had to sell his boat to pay for the new boat. He also had to renovate the new boat to bring it up to the specs for his children to live aboard on occasions, especially as they're getting older/bigger. I also think, after watching 90% of his videos that James has been rather transparent with his situation. I guess, what's important to remember is, just because we don't ask or get help in these types of situations, doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't, especially if we have a KZbin channel and are putting in the work. Making decent KZbin videos is Very time consuming and requires much work. I have around nine videos on my other account and not made anymore for a few years. On a final note, I like to see help being plentiful, it's a beautiful thing to witness and one of the nicer human traits, much better than All that war mongering going on around the world. If others are helping someone and are happy to do so, that's a good thing, as long as everything is genuine; of course.
