So I started binge watching you a couple days ago and am now watching your latest episode. I wanted to say that in the past, I have hung untreated doors that became deformed due to moisture or because the wood was still drying? I would encourage you to seal up new door edges as soon as possible in your humid environment. NO CHEATING! (Seal the bottom too!) You have a boat you should truly be proud of!

[@johnpayne2931]

I think we are lucky we have Mike

[@user-kev-k5v]

Really loved everything you have both done so far, it’s starting to come together wow so pleased for you both 👍❤

[@DriftwoodFolk]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@NM-gr1iq]

This must be the longest renovation in the history of narrowboats (clearly excluding the boat that James is working on).

[@docostler]

Wow, Nesha, you have certainly improved your construction skills. You look confident and competent! Has this improvement altered your emotions regarding the boat project. I've seen you feeling pretty low at times but this episode makes me happy to see and hear how you approach and accomplish your tasks. The kitchen is looking very nice, you and Mike are doing great. I feel I might have missed an episode, going now to check that out. Have some coffee you two.

[@DriftwoodFolk]

It probably has something to do with it, thanks for the coffees Dave! We appreciate it :)

Stay positive and keep going 🎉🎉

[@Dore60]

☺️👍

[@DEmma1972]

Kitchen looking great. Is there a big enough airgap behind the board on the port wall?

[@DriftwoodFolk]

Yeah I think we need to redo it and add a bigger gap

[@shogun666able]

Whatever happened to the couple that couldn't and the sometime tears and doubts? As the couple on here seem to be doing very well, even now looking like old hands.

[@dick8193]

You two are making amazing progress.

[@albyrd1271]

nice work you're doing great.

[@otter736]

Well done both of you !!

[@put301]

I always take the fire board outside and cut it with angle grinder and diamond disk never failed but makes a lot of dust you can cut it with saw but blunts it really fast

[@mike-driftwoodfolk2651]

This is exactly what I was gonna do but as it was raining and also dusty I thought we could do it like plasterboard 🙈 oh well. It's worked ok

[@chevyimp5857]

Looking sweet... nicely done..

[@danielfranconunez]

Enjoyed the video, I love your channels and the journey you both are on. One question though, would the (part 1) of this video be all the footage that was lost or will we get to see that later?

[@DriftwoodFolk]

Part 1 is the video before this called “discovering problems on our narrowboat” :) enjoy!

[@gerard227]

What company makes the washer you were using ,it looks very useful.

[@mike-driftwoodfolk2651]

Hi there the company is called gardiner and the unit is called a backpack as its meant to be one but it's super heavy so i just use it on the floor. They are pricey but you can get cheaper versions ... I got given this one and got it working and suits me fine for my property maintenance. The pole is a gardiner clx 22 which is for my window cleaning but if you wanted one for the boat id advise going for the smallest pole they do ... Way cheaper as you dont need the length/height👍🏼

[@davidd3899]

What was you cleaning the roof with. I want to get one 😃

[@mike-driftwoodfolk2651]

Hi David it's actually my pure water window cleaning kit and pole 😂 I use it as part of my property maintenance. But thinking about getting a cheaper one just for the boat as it works so well.

[@elizabethbowler5448]

Did you buy a kitchen for example from ikea flat pack or is this made for your boat xx

[@DriftwoodFolk]

Bought the cupboards + cabinets from Howdens, customised the cabinets to dit the boat, bought the oak worktop online x

[@JamesSouth-d2c]

What’s happening? Haven’t seen anything from you in a while.
