I think he just drinks coffee and looks at himself in mirror. While woman of the house goes to work.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah pretty much. Living the dream.

[@Sandra-xg2yl]

Lol. Sorry you missed the work he did while drinking his coffee... It's called multitasking bro😅. He does it rather well don't you think 🤔

[@Sandra-xg2yl]

Thanks!

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@paulcharleton3208]

Well I'm almost caught up with real time now - just bingeing the USA roadtrip in it's right sequence then I have only a couple more boat builds before I catch up to where I'm watching backwards from the end here. So glad about that but tinged with a little sadness at almost having run out of new watches. Brilliant boat build great talent there Joe you remind me of Kris Harbour - he's building a sustainable smallholding on a piece of land in Wales. Like Joe he'll take on almost anything and usually wins ! Danni guiding influence even the Barbie pink bulkhead is growing on me ! Excellent channel guys

Great work in the boat Jo.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks Keith!

Getting those little jobs done can make life so much more comfortable.

[@adidasmanuk]

Hiya you two,joe I got a nice crimp set from Lidl,nice sturdy case & decent wire cutters to boot.good luck

[@ItsOhJoe]

Cheers will have a look!

[@carolinefiler5506]

Joe you do give a 100% when your doing jobs. Sometimes it is the last few jobs that take the longest but you’ll get though them. All the best.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks Caroline! You’re right these last little bits take far more motivation too!

[@Bicyclehub]

If you mount the Jabsco pump on rubber motor mounts it will be quieter. The noise is resonating through the floor at the moment. You could also make a sound insulating case for it.

[@jillosler9353]

Hi Joe and Danni 👋. A word to the wise from a foolish one who learned the hard way! Where any water carrying pipes go through a created hole, please ensure that some tubing covers the pipe. My partner had a narrowboat with gas heating for the water - sink and shower - and we didn't realise that the throb of the engine or the turning on of taps from cold to hot or from a stream to a prolonged jet caused the pipes to vibrate and expand accordingly leading to friction and rubbing; which caused the pipe to fray and eventually leak. Not knowing what was happening we thought the pump had malfunctioned and, like you, spent over £100 buying a new one - to no avail. By the time a plumber friend discovered the actual problem and fixed it, we had water-stained walls and floors which looked awful! The plumber also recommended putting a piece of copper piping at the part which goes through a hole; fiddly but not expensive when you consider the costs of the alternative. Apologies for my lack of 'technical talk' but I'm an elderly female and my partner recently sadly and suddenly died so I can't ask him for the names of the plumbing bits! Really enjoying seeing you both creating a lovely narrowboat home. Stay safe and take care. xx

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks for that, that makes sense, will have to look into it! Cheers

Grass looks great and will be nicer to step onto in the summer mornings

[@ItsOhJoe]

Definitely!

[@paultaylor9652]

A big 👍 from us on your handy work today Jo, the artificial grass look great too.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you very much Paul!

[@phillipsharpe6459]

More jobs off the list, but you probably will never be finished, the Joy's of boat life, keep up the good work, 😁👍

[@ItsOhJoe]

Cheers!, Yes too true, bloody things!

[@annclark5082]

You always do such a good job of things and always tidy up after yourself so please, please, please clean your fire! Use some of the ash on a damp piece of cloth or kitchen roll and it will bring up the fire glass like a treat 👍

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks Ann. We do clean it every other burn probably but it does go that dark so quickly, kind of gave up on doing it every day

[@annclark5082]

I thought it was strange that you didn't. I will try not to look next time 🤣🤣🤣

[@gareysherrod3886]

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks Rich!

[@johndagle4249]

Joe, Did you consider putting a bit of Neoprene beneath the pump to absorb some of the vibration being transferred to the floor? I did that with the same pump in my boat.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Good shout, needs something to bring the vibration down for sure. Cheers.

Thanks for watching!!

[@chrisdenning9540]

Looks like your right on my mooring when I was there, years ago. I remember looking out onto the little brick hut in the field most mornings. Beautiful spot, it felt like it was a different world when I was on my boat there. Great bunch of people there. Great content about fixing up your boat too. Love to see more of the surroundings please.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks Chris it's a lovely mooring, we took a walk round to the other side of the river to have a look from that side, love the old warehouse buildings too.

[@isobelchapman9548]

Superb vlog….great to see all the continuing effort you put into making your home more comfortable…..mustn’t forget Danni, working hard to bring in extra pennies, bless her.

[@ItsOhJoe]

She's the best bless her. Thank you, it's all the small finishing off that can take the time!

[@christinetaylor6897]

You have done some good work there, well done. It must be lovely for Danni to come back after working away to see all those jobs done. Lovely mooring, I could watch that river all day. Best wishes Christine x

[@d_smith]

I am certain this has already been asked, what it the brand of coffee maker you use. You make it look so easy and I can’t wait to try one myself. Love a good cup of coffee.

[@ItsOhJoe]

good vid on the channel thanks lee

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks Lee!

[@noneofyourbusiness4433]

I like the looks of the astroturf, but might trapped moisture promote rust?

[@ItsOhJoe]

To be fair the floor was trapping water itself & we won't be drying it every day. Will see how we get on through the next few months, can re-paint every couple of years to protect the steel if needs be

[@katefinnegan8129]

Great job Joe. Lots to ticked off you list. Especially the water in the bathroom. Dani will love that you figured that one out. The turf looks great on the deck.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks Kate!

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Love your boat. Stunning. And wow what a glowing that river. Best wishes

[@robtheplod]

Great vlog Joe, love how you just get on and do stuff!! - a quick recommendation on the water pump - they work really well with flexible connections, so fit some PVC pipe etc and it also stops vibrations.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks might look into re-doing parts in flexi as do notice the vibrations!

[@rickonnye2001]

Some good work well done 😊

Real nice vlog Joe! 👌. I def need a Joe here, I have quite a few of those jobs to be done 😖, it's always 'manyarna' lol. Well done Joe. Could you tell me what coffee you are using, you obviously send off for it, wondering which one you use! Both of you take care🙏.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks Margaret! Maybe I should start a handy man service! That coffee is from Crimpson, bought some for a friend & treated myself to one to make postage minimum up! It's really good but pricey.

[@margaretwhite8996]

Good work Joe - as always. Where did you get your hinge brackets from for your bedside tea tray? I want to do a similar thing for my narrowboat but I’ll probably make my own tray. You two are great!

Hi can I ask where did you get your trim from ?

The wooden trim? Proper Job (based in the south west) but most builders merchants/DIY stores will do it - it’s 12x44mm pine strip wood

[@yobeaubaby]

[@judycarter4185]

Joe how can you send Danni off in the dark ALONE to get to work? It seems you should be walking with her until she is safe!! Please think how awful it would be if she fell into a canal and disappeared? You will have plenty of time to get back and work all day on the boat. I am terrified for Danni!!

[@ItsOhJoe]

The car’s parked directly outside the boat

[@Sandra-xg2yl]

It is glaringly obvious who keeps your narrow boat afloat. And if people only understood the continual repairs and upgrades etc associated with owning one, they wouldn't be throwing inane comments about. Great days work. What else has Dannie got you doing while she is at work?
