Boat TOUR Inside our Narrowboat. Ep47

[@sheilajoseph9953]

You've created a beautiful home. Well done. 😊

[@uponreflection]

Thank you so much Sheila 😀

[@TheHongKongHermit]

Glad you discussed rubbish storage. Strangely, that's one of the things that most narrowboat videos seem to skip over and I'm always wondering where it all goes in between drop-offs.

[@uponreflection]

Hi there. Yes we are fortunate to be able to store in our bow locker, it holds the rubbish bags in between drops. Thanks for watching and commenting 😀

[@davidm6553]

Enjoyed your boat tour.

[@uponreflection]

Thanks David, glad you enjoyed 😀

Just wow, we have a new build 2022 but lacking all this beautiful character. Beautiful vlog beautiful boat. Love NB Lady in red.

[@uponreflection]

Thank you so much Paul from NB Lady in Red.😀

[@JackNance22]

Love the color choices you made, beautiful job.

[@uponreflection]

Thank you so much!😀

[@veronicaroach3667]

The colors are absolutely beautiful - well chosen & so soothing ! Way too many 'decor' thingys for my taste - flowers, statuettes, nick-nacks etc....clogs up the space, altho we all know how this happens with Xmas gifts & can't resist purchases when shopping ! But the space is really well thought out - kitchen is lovely, apart from the lack of a big frig/freezer - one of my beefs with these boats as well as the narrow living room that I find psychologically daunting - why I could not live on one ! It is just about the nicest boat I've seen on youtube tho ! You are obviously both into being tidy which is why it works - too many couples are tidy/messy combinations which makes life hard however you live - somebody is always running around fixing what the other half messed up !- so you are a great couple from that perspective & I would say lucky you ! Congratulations on a really lovely home !

[@uponreflection]

Thank you. You do get used to the narrow living space, after being on it a little while it actually begins to feel spacious even 🤣

[@123gazs]

Does look very cosy

[@uponreflection]

Thanks, yes it's our cosy place 😀

[@TheWhitey321]

Really beautiful boat.. Love it..! 🫶🏼

[@danmelbourne7597]

Great boat 👍

[@uponreflection]

Thank you 😀

[@MOHillbilly513]

I have watched a large amount of narrowboat videos and I will say this is one of the best interior designs that I have ever seen. It does not look like the average narrowboat inside.

[@uponreflection]

Oh wow thank you so much. 😀

[@sallyhodgkinson4920]

Stunning, 😍😍😍

[@uponreflection]

Thank you Sally 😊

[@gaynorselvey8069]

Stunning 💕

[@uponreflection]

Thank you 😀

[@LJnBodhi]

Wow! Beautiful. I've loved watching the whole process. Did I miss you explaining the name you chose? "Assumption is" (why and what it means to you)? Safe travels, I love the vlog.

[@uponreflection]

Thank you. Story behind the name: planned to call the boat Reflection. Hence the youtube channel name choice, but its unlucky to rename a boat when it's in the water so it's original name from the previous owner was 'Assumption is'. When the boat came out of water we were preoccupied in sorting out other factors that the survey had revealed and before you know it she was back in the water again and we had missed the opportunity to rename. Since then the name has kind of grown on us and we are going to stick with it 🙂🤪

[@alianntincancopperkettlebr5414]

Beautiful home

[@uponreflection]

Thank you 😀

[@uponreflection]

Thanks Lloyd. Yes, move along and see a different part with different surroundings and neighbours 🤪

[@d_smith]

Hands down your narrowboat renovation is the best one I have seen on KZbin. It is amazing what you have accomplished. You have turned your narrowboat into a beautiful home.

[@uponreflection]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@dexterfitben]

Agree..fab build

[@uponreflection]

Thank you so much 😀

[@MarkHarper-ek8ss]

Yes it is but they didn't represent it right it's only needed one person the guy through the show the boat the guy is ridiculous

[@uponreflection]

@@MarkHarper-ek8ss Hi Mark we did the video tour together just as we renovated it together. It's our boat that we made into our home over an 8 month period. We do all our videos together and it was created to show our subscribers the end result of all our hard work..together! Thanks for watching nethertheless 😉😊

[@chrischristofis8501]

Oheer! im looking for ideas to avoid steep steps for my old dog, i really like your layout, he would lay on that seat happily while i navigated the boat, yep im gonna sort my steps out asap 👍 thank you for posting the tour

[@richardfinney5081]

Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hiya were new subscriber's , we watch quite a few boat people and yours as just popped up on the phone , you've made a really good job of your boat , but I think the star of the show as to be your dog , absolutely gorgeous 😂, Im quite nosy so might I ask a few questions, oh go on then 😂😂😂, just dont answer if you find tgem too personal its fine , how old are you ? a bit personal 😂, how old is your dog ? How long have you been on the water ? , what do you do for funds ? Who do you watch on the boats ? We watch Ben and. Emily with Alan the cat , Wez and Amy , Narrowboat Will and there's a few more too 😊, what part of the canals are you mainly on ? Maybe I should give you a rest now 😂😂😂😂, Thanks for sharing, looking forward to watching your travels , Take Care xx👍🤗

[@uponreflection]

Hi there Lynn, thanks for subscribing. I'm 46, Paul is 57 and Ernie has just turned 1. We both took early retirement and are living off savings at the moment. We got the boat in August last year. And have been renovating her at weekends. On 27july we moved onto her full time and left the marina she was at in August this year to continously cruise the network. We do have a q&a vlog think it's number 35 and 36. That may give you more of an insight to how and why we came about living on the water and there are also a whole playlist of videos that shoe you the renovation work we have carried out on the boat. We watch pretty much the same vloggers as you, Heidi the pirate, boattime, Julie and Martin on rhapsody in blue, barrowboat will. All of those. We are currently on the oxford canal which you will see coming up in our next few vlogs and over time we plan to do the whole network. We move at the moment every other day or so. We love it so far. Think I've answered all your questions but I can't see them at the same time as I'm typing the reply so if I've missed any just drop another comment to us. Thanks again for subscribing and we hope you continue to follow us on our new adventure 😀

[@richardfinney5081]

@@uponreflection we certainly will, we are in Yorkshire, do you think. you will get up this way , we've visited Whaley Bridge a few times , we don't live near there , were nearer the Sheffield one , but we like to visit the basins in the countryside 😊, we've been Skipton a few times too , Thanks for your reply , looks like ,I've a lot to watch , Brilliant, looking forward to it , Take Care and Stay Safe 👍🤗

@richardfinney5081 as much as we would love to go, our boat is too long for the Leeds and Liverpool canal which runs through Yorkshire doesn't it 😀

[@julesopals53]

Love your narrowboat, it’s beautiful. And I noticed the external paintwork. Looking very shiny. 😊 Will you share with me the internal colour - the green? We have a small narrowboat with oak panels. I’m happy to keep the oak but husband is thinking of painting it. If we do I’d like the same colour as yours. Also - I know you’re retired but are you doing any work on narrowboats? We have a small boat, needs a bit of internal work and I love yours!

[@uponreflection]

Thank you so much for your comments. The paint is a dulux colour Match paint the code is DX-BZ42DCDWKX we coloured matched Lick paint Teal03. Unfortunately we having a rest for a while so no work for us 🤣 but always happy to help with colours and blends etc, just send me a message through Instagram. 😀

Agree, Beautifully done and sacrificing space to fit bigger bed, all makes logical sense as you spend more time in bed then walking through the narrower gap. Superbly done.

[@nigelgregory7308]

Hi Guys, just found you and subscribed, I'm looking at getting a boat in a few years, been getting loads of great information and tips from you all on the canals, I'm doing homework here, back at school, I'll be sixty when I get the chance to hit the water so I've got to get it right first time, your boat is a design I've liked from the rear, as a friend would say ( don't be rude 🤣) I mean a cruiser stern, then galley/ lounge, wet room, bedroom, your boat looks amazing, big high fives for what you have achieved. BUT !!! da-da-da. Your bow is longer than any I have seen with a cruiser stern and I love it, a lounge fore and aft, and storage in the bow, that would be great for coal in the winter, my big question is what style of boat is this?? Because it seems a really great shell for someone to build on for continuous travelling. Sorry if I've taken up your time, but many thanks, Nige 👍👍

[@uponreflection]

Hi there Nige, thank you so much for watching and for you comment. Good luck on the start of your boating journey in a couple of years. You are going to love it. Our boat was built in 1999 by brofabco Ltd. I haven't really got any more information about the boat buildings than that if I'm honest. 😀

[@robsimer9296]

[@uponreflection]

Thank you so much Dawn 😀

[@binder098]

Almost reminded me of a submarine in terms of width and length. You’ve made it very comfortable given it’s size. I loved when you opened the side hatch and all that natural light came into the boat. I noticed your dog doesn’t just plop down anywhere but neatly folds into one side tight to the sofa.I prefer hearing the technical stuff like amps generated, liters burned, how many liters in the water tank,but still appreciated your tour, thanks. Max in New Orleans

[@uponreflection]

Thank you for watching. Yes that side hatch allows for some natural light to flow in 😀

[@dexterfitben]

If you made a removable mesh window frame for that hatch you can leave it open all night and still keep the midgies out in summer.

[@uponreflection]

Hi Martin. That was on the list to do but it was a job that got pushed to the bottom of the list as we didn't get any over bearilingly hot nights on the boat this summer. Hopefully it can be top of list for next summer 😀
