Where can I find the link to buy your tshirts please?

[@JISJ1964]

Do they offer a good price on solar panels aswell? I guess I would have put those hinges on on the other side of the "lid".

[@isobelchapman9548]

Ooooh the pain of the broken glass….so great that your fabulously talented artisan can sort them for you.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Definitely!!

[@elwoodgaming7652]

The best bit I really love about the Delta 2 is that I am able to increase the capacity when the need arises.

[@tangs167]

I was just thinking - 'watch you don't slip and saw the worktop' when you said it! Glad you didn't slip.

[@jonathoneadie-simcock8095]

Watching this beautiful couple is making think about living on the canal I ask my hubby and he sed let’s win the lottery Lololo what a peaceful live we have the Macclesfield canal seeing canal boat

[@ItsOhJoe]

You’d be surprised how many people get rid of a house and come onto the canal - it’s not for everyone though, especially winters!

[@warrenstewart3645]

SIKA FLEX make a black calking product. fill the slot, scrape the top flush, job done!

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yes we did see that, just the size of the gaps are huge and hollow at the bottom so would’ve got through tubes & tubes!

[@justclips1448]

Use the swiss method to light the fire, light from the top down to heat the chimney which creates draw and less smoke. No paper needed 👌

[@ItsOhJoe]

Have looked into this, just need some fire lighters by the looks of it but will try it out for sure

[@judewilliams9345]

Well done, Joe, with all those jobs. You look knackered pal. Love the music 👌.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Cheers! Looking forward to a decent sleep, was in a bit of a rush to get the video out too! 😂

[@itsamemario720]

I agree that the Delta 2 is also perfect for any boat as it does not take up a lot of spaceand does only weigh 12 kilos.

[@eyeswideopen8951]

For future you may consider getting the gun for the foam, a lot more control over the speed and amount that comes out. Also you can buy foam cleaner, which is almost magical the way it dissolves the foam, whether wet or dry, it also removes the black staining.

[@billywindsock9597]

Glass, noooooo! I'm so glad it can be fixed, but what a pain. I like the look of the rope floor, it has always looked good.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you! Yes couldn’t believe the glass 😫

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Awesome joe .. very talented buddy .. cheers Chris & Sammy

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks guys!

[@oceannomad2455]

Hey guys, I was having nightmares watching you do wood work on top of that nice kitchen bench… and then I saw the grinding sparks going everywhere!!! Can I suggest a piece of ply that could be tucked away somewhere, dragged out for tools to go on. Or a piece of canvas, or… you get the idea. The jobs have got to get done, but protect the lovely work you have already done! Good progress though! Cheers

[@ItsOhJoe]

😂😂 we’re not afraid of a bit of character on wooden surfaces but yes we probably should cover the worktop at least!

[@jeanniehyde8090]

Oh Joe bless you, I felt gutted for you, 😢. So Happy the glass can be replaced, (welcome to married life lol )🙌🏽😊love the rope idea in the floor board gaps- genius , take care you two 🤗🤗

[@ItsOhJoe]

😂😂 thank you!

[@thornbird6768]

Clumsy 😢

[@philhacker2405]

Clear Pvc cleaner takes off the expansion foam. The latex minimal expansion foam with water. Caulking rod or just wood glue . Turn the hinges around barrel on top of the ply.

[@TheHodsocks]

It’s probably to late now joe but if you buy a foam gun and use gunable foam you can control the flow much easier and you don’t use half as much foam. Just turn the back screw of when not in use clean out with foam cleaner rarely as that’s what makes em clog good luck

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah that’s a good shout actually my dad’s always used them, those cans are so messy 😂😫

[@oneshoan]

Joe, you work so hard! I can’t imagine Danni being upset with you. Everything can be fixed or replaced. What I’m waiting for is the van! I’m so cold 🥶 and waiting for y’all to travel to places I don’t think I’ll ever be going. Fabulous work and the spray foam will also add to the insulation, lol.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you! Yes we’re back on the van build for next weeks video! Can’t wait to get it finished and get travelling in it

[@eleanordeboat4191]

Probably too late now but you can get a product called evo-stik polyurethane wood glue, which is a liquid but expands to fill a joint like foam. It comes in a tube suitable for a caulking gun or in a bottle. It expands much less than foamfix so is much more controllable.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Ah yes I know the stuff. Only thing I’d say is the cost of it vs spray foam for the size of some of the gaps I’d have to fill it would be considerable but considerably less messy for sure!

[@kirkbyars243]

home centers sell caulk foam backer cord in several thicknesses to put under the rope. it expands and contracts with the movement of the wood. Much cleaner and a more permanent solution. not very expensive either.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Oh wow didn’t know that existed! Only thing it wouldn’t do is stick the rope down for when hoovering

[@petecull2309]

Hi Joe, Great project, great channel. Quick tip for the skirting boards, fit the top trim first, then the skirting board.

[@williamrandall1415]

I like the rope for floor seams

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Great job with the floor mate. Shame about the stained glass breaking. Glad you’re able to get it fixed. Take care. Nick

[@ItsOhJoe]

Cheers Nick!

[@dexterfitben]

Bang up job on the caulking. Reggae is definitely way to go instead of the usual new age crap.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Cheers!

[@sandyprosser805]

What a great video Joe busy, busy as always. Floor looked so much better for all your hard work. It’s beginning to look very smart. Hope Danni is good. Have great week 😊

[@keithweybury5212]

Ecoflow is everywhere. floor rope looks okay, Very wet over there so those Canals will fill up finally.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Will be good for the canals but the river is higher than it needs to be 😂😂

[@personabovefarts1244]

I was not expecting that such a portable power station could pump out 1024Wh of power.

[@georgefranklin5570]

Hey Joe love the Rope on the floor idea someone may have already said this but a tip for expanding foam is, if you get it on something especially hard like wood, glass or plastic is not to wipe it off immediately but to let it dry I know it seems counterintuitive but then it just peels right off. Cheers

[@johnekins4408]

Good job with the list, I guess you can now move forward with the van now.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yes can’t wait!

[@shaunbc9279]

You can get a product called Ever Build Foam Eater, I used it after we had a leaking can that coated just about everything in our bathroom. It's slightly corrosive, but is brilliant.

[@ItsOhJoe]

I’ve seen that before but never used it. Thanks for the tip!

[@christinetaylor6897]

Hello Danni and Joe, brilliant ticking off all those jobs but so sorry to see the broken stained glass. I went on a stained glass course a while ago I loved it and made a purple and green panel then one day the wind blew it off the window cilll and it broke, my own stupid fault, you must have been gutted but I'm glad you can get it repaired. Best wishes Christine x

[@ItsOhJoe]

It’s a wonderful skill to have, have you tried any more since? Yes glad we can get it repaired, can’t wait to get them fitted finally! 😂

[@christinetaylor6897]

@@ItsOhJoe no sadly not, it's an expensive hobby. Can't wait to see your doors fitted. C x

[@aquious953]

I'd use a rubber sealant (lifeseal) on the floorboards. Definitely not expanding foam.

[@johnnymoore6730]

I'm thinking that the Delta 2 is also good for any weekend campouts or adventures since it is quite portable and has a 1024Wh capacity.

[@asboss63]

Great job mate, getting there…thought you were going to saw your kneecap off 🫣🫣 Thanks for sharing 👍

I would have laid vinyl tiles, cork tiles, over the wooden floor, easy to keep clean! 🧹 Surprise Danni! 😊 7:49

We put this in particularly for the oldy worldly feel & love it. Now the ropes in it should last for years and years! 🙂

Hi both, Joe you would certainly fly through any audition for DIY presenter work -online or with the shopping channels. Always solution focused !!!. Would love to know where to buy the mushroom print hanging in the kitchen....

Oh, Joe! Trying to hide something from Danni?! I can't believe it. A lesson learned I'm sure. Thanks for all your work and the most entertaining channel on KZbin!

Well done Joe you always work so hard no Danni does her share luv to you both tc till next time the oldies xx😉👋👍

[@katefinnegan8129]

Great job on the ropes Joe. I probably can’t see any mess from the foam like you can see, so just show Danni the video and she will be very happy. Lol.

[@ItsOhJoe]

It’s dried up okay to be fair but we’ll sand and re-do the floor anyway next year to freshen it up

[@timhaywood2282]

Great job joe

[@robertwren8878]

Time you got off that river Joe while you still can,have you forgotten what happened before Xmas last year??

We’re here until June/July so won’t be moving as it’s ideal place to be for Danni’s work & my parents whilst we fix up the van. Was that the nasty storm we had?

[@clintromine802]

You should make an H cap for your chimney.

[@ItsOhJoe]

No heard of that, will look into it, cheers.

All it is is 3 t connectors put together in a H pattern. The shape of it makes it almost impossible for down drafting

Greetings from Tehachapi, CA Tedious work you had with rope spacers. Shame about the stain glass panels, good thing you kept the creators contact information. And you paid the bill 💵…Lol

[@alisongalloway1455]

Got to ask, are you sealing the rope and floors now? If not I am wondering how you will keep the rope clean and stop it getting wet, when clean the floors, especially in the bathroom. Never seen rope used. Is that a boat thing? A tradie doing my timber house floors, used silicon, which was ridiculous as it falls through when the boards expand. I enjoy watching your reno.

[@ItsOhJoe]

So we’re using rope more as an aesthetic gap filler (it’s used in the boat world to build old ships as it swells when it gets wet and seals). Now the floor has shrunk to its smallest (hopefully) in the summer the gaps shouldn’t get much bigger at all and then the foam will hold it anyway. It’s hessian rope so quite hardy and hoovers really well, we use the cleaning pads/mop so doesn’t get soaking wet except for rain if the doors are open for a bit but seems to work so far.

[@runaway9492]

The five year warranty alone is enough for me to grab one for myself.

[@jamesk8922]

Great series, only just getting into narrowboat vlogs. For a future Q&A, How do you decide between hammer in moorings and screw in moorings?

[@ItsOhJoe]

Cheers!

[@dee106ful]

The other way would have been difficult. That is using wood fillets. You did well

[@falmouthtony]

Guessing you wouldn't be too sad to finish your relationship with spray foam for life 😉

Ohhh I thought I’d never see the stuff again!!

[@modestadventurers]

Was that a Granfors Small Forrest axe?

[@ItsOhJoe]

It is indeed! Bought it in Sweden when we were away in our last van. Felt guilty using it as a hammer but it was in arms reach and I needed something urgently - dug the actual hammer out later on 😂😫

[@allanxxx8789]

Why sod about with old wood floor and rope? Just cover the floor with ply then get laminate flooring, save yourself a load of bother,... Not sure but that bird thing on your chimney, may cause a heck of a down draft, going by its very shape. If you get rid of that and use a normal cowling it may then draw properly. Not more smoky joe log burner,

[@ItsOhJoe]

Just love the look and feel or real floor boards, adds a nice bit of character and something to keep us busy 😂 it should be grand for a few years now without much bother. The bird cowl rotates in the wind and should help but it bloody doesn’t 😂😂

[@brianmillar5075]

There may not be a manual for a lot of things in this world but there is always common sense which obviously you are sadly lacking, why wouldn't you just use a silicon type of sealer or No More Gaps extrude it into the gap and you have 24 hours basically to put the rope back in.

[@ItsOhJoe]

There’s cost & time to factor in to common sense, don’t forget. Some of these gaps are quite large & would use multiple tubes of sealant each.
