76. Painting The Roof Of My Rusty Narrowboat

[@thomascoyne157]

Rooftop coming on 👍👍👍👍

[@skywardview]

Looking great!!!!

[@nogunwales9406]

Nice work Oli, must seem endless when you started that roof. People don't realise the effort needed to work an angle grinder continuously. Bet your arms were like Jelly after. Looks good my man 👍

[@olivellanarrowboat4319]

Yo Andy, hope you’re well 👍 good to see you back on the refurb project. Yh, I don’t know how it is for you, with two boat builds on the go, but I’ve got shorten my sight, wear blinders so to speak, otherwise the whole thing is just too much to think about, just focus on the bit in front of you.... worked a treat on that giant roof 😉 and I got forearms of steel from 20 years of drumming 😀 it’s only looking back I’ve noticed how much wrist and forearm goes into that angle grinder. Like most things with the boat, I look back in the tasks fondly but physically panic at thought of doing it again lol. Good to see you mate

So satisfying to watch so must be amazing when it's your boat.

Can’t see the forest for the trees, but looking back on the previous videos really puts it in perspective. Thanks for the comment 👍

@@williamroberts7919 it did occur to me that I’ve been panning over loads of the other boats in the vids, just me being stupid. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

As always keep on pushing on also I don’t know if you have ever looked into a product called Surface Conditioning Tool they are really good for body work

[@olivellanarrowboat4319]

Damn that looks like it would have saved me loads of time, good find man 👍

[@KayakDreadgirl]

@@olivellanarrowboat4319 thank you so much! Also thank you for checking my channel out. Maybe see you on the cut sometime! Wishing you all the very best with getting the boat on the water 💧 ⚓️🛟

Nearly there mate👍👍

[@olivellanarrowboat4319]

For now 😉

[@Roller-Ball]

I think I might have found a suggestion for you dealing with foam cutting inside. Just a thought. look at Ryobi-R18PF-0-Cordless-Power or this type of tool. Maybe.

[@olivellanarrowboat4319]

Yh that’s cool, good find, not sure about it on the foam, as that would tear out In chunks I think, but that power sander could be very handy, thanks 👍

[@Roller-Ball]

@@olivellanarrowboat4319 Maybe if you used like 60 or 80 grit sandpaper in wouldn't clog. I thought the small width would cut chases for you. But anything with power would speed it up.

[@olivellanarrowboat4319]

@@Roller-Ball that’s a great idea about cutting chases in the Sprayfoam, it’s be brilliant for running conduit

[@DEmma1972]

Shame about the last 2-3 ft. Looks great though. Lots of graft but worth it

[@olivellanarrowboat4319]

Oh definitely, even just for the peace of mind of not having to do it again next year 😉

[@PK_Blinder]

How many discs have you used to do the roof...?

[@olivellanarrowboat4319]

Had to look at my Amazon to check, I’ve bought 30 this summer (£26 for a pack of 6) I had 2 or 3 left over from last summer and I’ve got 5 left now so around 26?....a lot

[@PK_Blinder]

@@olivellanarrowboat4319 A lot less than I thought... cheaper than sand blasting though 😏

[@olivellanarrowboat4319]

And slightly less messy 👍
