[@jackwalsh4310]

Fire Blankets are a very good way to kill a small fire quickly. Also reuseable. Plus Not near the MESS as spraying is..

[@perstaffanlundgren]

Powder exintshers = garanited powder cleaning if used, if not cleaned up -Bye bye electronic stuff. And causee corrosion on metal ( but not dangerous for the environment). A serous Co2 extinguishing as first solution (in electrical installations computer rooms powder is a no go) ,if this is not enough use powder- messy as hell , on fibrous material water work very well and is a" clean" method. . Or a foam extinguisher -will have to be cleaned up after (will not corrode metals doe) . There are oil resistant foam and non oil resistant foam. The oil resistant foam is very much less environmentally friendly, so on fibrous materials use the non resistant type. The fire fighters don't want to use foam if the other alternative- water is enough. Prior habits of using foam on house fires has been found to seriously pollute wells and ground water .

[@Rodrifuuu]

If you can get enough power, induction cooktops are always preferable.

[@Degenhardt450]

You will need to continue the chimney flashing up past the centre of the roof, to prevent pooling of water. This is standard practice.

[@oscargoldman85]

The welding on the Exhaust muffler was absolutely incredible. Congrats on the ship coming online. Condolences to the burned ship, how ironic, it was floating in water, but could not get enough water into the ship - Best wishes - this has been a great project to watch.

[@mo3bius58]

Do you have a carbon monoxide detector? I would recommend one for the living room AND the crawl space with the generator. These things are not that expensive and can save life's.

[@richardowens9061]

Some form of forced ventilation would also be advisable.

[@hunthercaio]

Your videos can be weekly, lasting 4, 5 minutes, we can't go that long without videos lol, imagine that two weeks ago I had never seen a video of yours, I marathoned all your videos in 1 week, thank you very much...

[@varaderoafull]

In my personal experience the best days I have owning a boat is the day I bought the boat and the day I sold the boat

[@carlwest859]

Your engineering, design, and workmanship are improving. I think you will complete this project and the family will enjoy it. Stay focused and don't buy into any other projects to help our sanity.

[@MrNoncredo]

the best thing for the stove pipe would be a 45° bend coming out of the wall behind the stove and restoring the corrugated panels on the roof, for the rest you've really made a lot of progress I've been following you since the first video where you were looking for the boat in that species of landfill, congratulations

[@perstaffanlundgren]

Or they can make a cover plate (like a c section) from side to side of the roof sitting in the groves on both sides of the section that is cut open where the pipe is . basically narrow roof over the roof where the pipe is in this plate. a water tight flange is installed in the and plate and the pipe treaed through it , as you do above and below ta pipe shimny on house . Because it's in a roof joint I think this will be the best method cutting in the joints like that messes up the water profnes ,its hard to seal when there is two plates meeting with hole in the intersection.

[@bunkerhill4854]

Consider some fire suppression equipment around the generator. It is totally contained below deck and very difficult to reach quickly. The fire suppression equipment should be remotely controlled, if not automated. There should be CO detectors near both the generator and in the living area near the furnace.

[@richardowens9061]

Let me suggest that you remove the wheels on the generator.

[@SimonMurrayPhuket]

No need to apologise, thank you as always for your videos and sharing your journey with us.

[@DrVlok]

Having watched you since your first boat venture, as a 55 year old engineer who has lived in boats, vans, buildings, (and i currently live in a 7.5 ton truck with my harley) that you are doing just fine. Really good to see your fabricating and problem solving ideas evolve and a lovely journey to be taken on. Thankyou for that. Also, as a vinylist DJ and lover of Techno, i am a little bit envious of how perfectly your set up suits my kind of life style. Really inspiring. If you both get the chance, come to Freerotation as my guest ....

[@fyahoo]

This is one of my favorite channels. I was wondering where you were and when we were going to get an update. I enjoy seeing your progress. I find it very insprirational. I hope to see more this coming year!

[@kenknight4560]

Good on you and the community for helping a neighbor in need. That said, if anyone is wishing to build/restore boats get some real advice and skills, this series is 75% how not to do it, I will fix it next summer. He seems like a decent guy but this is not the place to learn "how to".

[@evilla7579]

Agreed. Lets say he does things in an different way. That can be refreshing in the overall very conservative boating community and related videos. No need for another Tally Ho channel. This channel is more of a sort of entertainment i guess..but the guy does earn some respect for the endless perseverance.

[@billymiller1319]

Your welding has become top class. Regards from South Africa

[@jeffreylord8172]

I was wondering when you would put up a new video, your big boat/ barge, is looking good. I would look at mounting your generator , on marine engine mounts, rubber ropes / bike tubes will not cope with the weight. I commend you and the live aboard people for helping you neighbour buy a new boat to live on, well done ,. And it's nice to see your lovely lady, and the pup.

[@michaelmcclure8673]

It's always nice to see a upload from a neighbor across the big pond .😊

[@rolandtb3]

Welcome back. Good neighbor community. Lots of generator vibration, noise and eventual heat. Maybe bolt down to fixed anti vibration floor pads. Enclosuring the area with removable insulated doors. Cabin heat makes for a comfortable winter livable space.

[@sionbenjamin4513]

So nice to see the Mrs. and the dog. The family. you may not be a boat engineer but you certainly are a great metal worker with great skills. Skills learning the good school of life and using your hands. It is wonderful to see the progress and a glimpse into your life. Cheers and best wishes.

[@richardowens9061]

I've been watching this project with great interest. And, so far, I've been impressed with your patience and skills. And, I thank you for bringing us all along on your journey. But, I do have a question: Are you working from blueprints that you created before you began the project, or are you working from a vision and addressing each phase of the project as you go along? Thanks!

[@hfoor11]

You have a beautiful wife, a cute puppy, and a lot of critical-thinking talent. A suggestion I have for you is to elbow the chimney out the side and patch the roof to allow water drainage, just a thought. I really enjoy your videos and yes I'm jealous of you. lol

[@Skiridr22]

Thank god no one got hurt in that incident

[@1edsel1]

glad to see you and family back doing videos appreciate them !!

[@michaelblankenship548]

My first thought was you should have put a 90 degree elbow in and ran it out the side wall instead of the roof. It would have been much easier to seal against rain. It looks like it would have fit between the frame at the top of the wall.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

Be mindful that if you submerge the exhaust pipe, when the generator is cooling down after running, it will draw water up the exhaust pipe unless you drill a small hole above the water line.

[@Harpo379]

Horrible things, boat fires. Boats seem to love to burn. A steel boat is the only kind that isn't a bonfire waiting for a spark. Even then you can bet that they'll just wait to explode on you. I'm glad you're taking care with your own project boat

It was worth the wait, I enjoyed your video again. It's good that you brought the teama fire to light, in many cases, both on the water and in people's homes, there are few or no fire extinguishers present, but I hope there is a fire detector.

I have to say your build is certainly coming along and that stove is something to behold I think it’s going to be a really special place and can’t wait to see what it’s like

[@charleshutchings9355]

Very nice to hear from you again. The stove is something I would love to have in my shed, although I hasten to cut a hole in the roof. Your boat is coming along nicely. So sad that your neighbor lost everything, but awesome the community was able to replace the boat for him. Looking forward to more videos!

[@JoeTheLion60]

You are funny and very smart; with a massive heart..and a great story-teller - welcome back! Love your videos...

[@Platypus_Warrior]

Of course it's easy to imagine things done differently so don't get me wrong. The chimney of the stove existing on the side would have solved many problems. Maybe even running it all the way aft and non insulated. I like the long exhaust of the generator, it will bring a lot of heat to the boat but I don't think it's a good thing to immerse it. it will disturb the combustion in the piston so you will spend more gas and potentially damage the generator because of the exhaust pressure. I love your channel, very good editing. Hopefully the amount of subscribers will rise fast after this video. Thank you

[@gacattack1234]

The metal hatch needs a raised lip around it, that's standard practice to prevent water getting in the gap and sleeping in.

[@hunthercaio]

The mistake with the roof is common, the correct thing would be for you to have cut the high part of the tile, here in Brazil we call the high part of the tile the cover and the low part we call the gutter, by cutting the cover you would have gutter space for water to drain and with little insulation there would be no leaks, the ideal would be for you to replace this tile, but so as not to need so much work with the roof, wouldn't it be more interesting for this chimney to come out through the side wall behind the wood stove?

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

I am fascinated with your boat-building project. And...I must say, you are one of the most persistent people I have watched on KZbin. Your persistence and effort will surely be rewarded.

[@rickkanauss9862]

Glad you can help that guy out with his boat that's sad hopefully you give us more videos always enjoy your videos

[@user-yk5uf3xq4n]

Hi, friend. I constantly follow your videos, even if just for entertainment, but I experience all your failures and achievements. Don’t worry if you can’t make releases often, we understand everything and won’t be offended. I wish you good luck in all your plans and affairs, just don’t forget to film everything for us.

[@rudyfisher7660]

I have your better solution. Get you some angle arm and go on the inside and push-up on the areas that are flat and screw the angle arm to it, which keeps it up high and not allows it to bow down, and then you'll be able to keep it toward. It doesn't bow down and then Warner stands there and leaks.

[@MrAlubenco]

😅 congratulations on the successes regardless of setbecks. May I suggest on the chimney of taking everything down to the roof frame and building up from there. 1. Decon the stack 2. Take the corrugated tin off 3. Go to reframe 4. Strengthen the surrounding area with ceramic insulation; ceiling/roof Before reinstalling the corrugated tin. 5. Install corrugated tin. My apologies, I oversimplified, you're highly motivated and intelligent and seemingly understand what needs be done. Thank you for sharing your time and experiences, your infotainment has been a boon.

[@JamesRook]

To completely eliminate the roof water issue, instead of exiting the flue through the roof, it should exit through the upper part of the wall near the ceiling. Use 2 right angle flues.

[@renem6441]

Keep the videos coming!! Thanks for sharing

[@vozspoz2020]

I love your videos, keep it up, no pressure on how long between videos.

[@EricHaskins71]

for the Stove flange ... you cut a slot on the high side and slide the flange into roof so water will run downhill

[@kaydesign]

About the generator: attach it to the boat the same way a engine is mounted. On rubber blocks. Stable and silent.

[@denniscarreno5882]

Welcome back! Missing your videos…nice build!

[@johneken2056]

Don't exhaust your generator anywhere near an opening. All marine generators have large print warnings☠☠in the boxes warning about using them especially tied up or at anchor. Ignition air can draw in fumes from outside the boat. I would run the exhaust up high similiar to your stove. My boat is heated a Webasto hydronic system.

[@martinbond46]

Great job buddy, thanks for the update. Glad you helped out your boat neighbor.

[@barthanes1]

I've watched and helped my friend with his boat project, so I already know not to do it. The saying is true. "A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into."

[@48pluto]

[@repairrestoreandrebuild8974]

Glad to see an update, it's been a while. Enjoy your videos, your humor is definitely not lost in translation. 🇺🇲

[@BLAMBERRY]

For maximum heat retention of any wood stove you must use angled stove pipe installation. A vertical pipe allows for inefficient heat loss. If the pipe is angled before going vertical (either out the side of structure or stepped inside structure) heat radiation will be greater.

[@granadakimj]

In my local boat club, we're not allowed to have pressure vessels on our boats. For this exact reason. Because accidents happen...

The solution for your stovepipe is, go through the wall with your stove pipe, instead of through your roof. Repair your roof with a new roof sheet. Don't make holes in your roof. Good luck.

[@graememercer1653]

Looking good you are getting there

[@calvarybuilders5689]
