It’s time for a Fresh Start! | Step 417

[@nearlynativenursery8638]

Truly a mile stone to reach in this chapter in your refit. The white prime show off well all the engineering work you both have done. Great jobs guys. I hope you do some vid of the met, at least the products your planning on purchases. You guys do superb research into most everything. That said I trust your judgement in product functionality and durability. Jim Rodgers

[@ghost307]

The project phase you are in is generally referred to as "90% done...90% to go".

[@MonikaMatis]

indeed :)

[@teddysdadcory]

New t-shirt idea!!

[@timallen6025]

Oh yes. Evolution takes time 👏👏😊

[@1dkappe]

How long have they been at it?

[@GeorgeBurman-xi8ng]

Thanks for staying the course and persevering through the difficulties. U-2 are remarkable and truly dreamers !

[@rogerstone3068]

Yay! ANOTHER brilliant idea. At 2:27 YOU put ear protectors on and OUR sound gets muffled. Who thought that one up? We are so with you already, this is... very sweet icing on the cake. Well done.

[@daveamies5031]

With your channel approaching 10 years, you realise that the two of you have spent more time together than most married people do in 30-40 years because you are constantly together all day every day, so I just wanted to acknowledge and congratulate you two on this milestone 👍❤👍 Yeah the boat work was great too 👍

[@between5and6]

the best thing on this episode was the gleam and shine in kikas eyes when she got back on the boat in the morning after doing the primer. by the way the boat will look bigger inside because the white color creats a different dimension in the eye with less corners and edges.... You have done a very cool and creative job in the last year -VERY WELL done!!!

[@someguy9440]

After watching this channel for about 5-6 years now, I've never been so ready for a monthly boat payment as I have been after watching these past few episodes. 😵‍💫😅 I don't know how you guys do it. I'm just stunned, video after video of this build at how your commitment, courage, boundless energy, and undaunted spirit shine a bit brighter with each step closer to completion. The two of you are really one of a kind. Rock on and look forward to the next episode.

[@guretsugu]

A little random, but I'm so happy to see you both modeling safety and wearing respirators while doing this work. I feel like so many DIY videos on youtube don't respect the danger of working with some of these materials that could mess up your long-term health.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

I agree. They'll be so pleased when they're older that they took care. Blessed be.

[@steveswoodworking2504]

I've got guys putting concrete siding on my house right now. They never use a respirator of any kind when cutting it. It makes me cringe every time I see it. We all only have one body, we need to take care of that to make it last as long as possible.

[@AccidentalSailorGirl]

Air fed respirator from an outside air source is actually what is usually needed for below decks and tight spaces, especially for long time exposure. Some of that paint can even get thru your eyes.

[@tototere]

Somehow the enormity of this project becomes clearer. Hats off to you both as designers, project planners, teachers and craftsmen.

[@benedicttusia700]

I had a vision of Uma in the water. Tears in your eyes. My heart filled with joy. I believe. Thank you for sharing your life. Thank you.

[@truenorth90]

I've felt exhausted just watching you both do all the glass work and I feel personally relieved that the paint is going on, I can't imagine how good it must feels to see Uma in white again!!

[@timcordeso11762]

Thank you both so much for showing the journey of your refit. I had a fire on my boat this spring and it destroyed large sections of the interior hull liner. Watching your progress helped me deal with the loss, and inspired me to move forward with my own restoration. I learned a lot of techniques from watching you do your work, and have used your processes in a lot of places on my boat - from plastic bags over plywood to back an unsupported layup, to buying my own 3M full face respirator. I'm happy to report that I have rebuilt the destroyed engine tunnel and companionway, and am now on the final fairing coat before primer. Good luck with the rest of your refit, and I'll be watching!

[@brianlavigne1640]

Could you imagine commercial boat builders putting this much care into their boats. You guys are doing an amazing job. Always great to watch your progress.

[@davidmartin3947]

'This is not the end of the Uma refit. It is not even the beginning of the end. It is however the end of the beginning.' 😉 Well done, and many congratulations!

[@GeorgeBurman-xi8ng]

Wonderful to see the progress and that you are very much on the right track with the redesign. Very inspiring, thank you !

[@VelcorHF]

The white paint just transformed all the space. Really brightened the whole cabin up and made it look spacious. The cave is gone!

[@justsomeguy6474]

Uma is looking Umazing. I'll see myself out.

[@SailingUma]

😂😁

[@tomriley5790]

Best comment!

[@haraldhannelius]

Hats of to Akzo Nobel. Appreciated

[@ulf6drega]

I think Dan & Kika got a good (Akzo Nobel) price

[@Anthony-kd2tbi]

I love how a bit of paint changes a project so much. It make look less like a construction zone more like a finished product.

[@IAmTheEnergyChannel]

YaY!!! I just got so excited seeing the thumbnail! You have primer!!! That's so awesome!

[@mo-tive2480]

I'm glad you answered the hull light question, I was wondering myself!

[@frankstocker5475]

Renovating a 50-year-old boat is not my bag but you two deserve every penny you receive from this channel. Enjoy the show and buy the best products.

[@jannepeltonen2036]

Uma the White

[@haraldhannelius]

I have a sailboat built 1982. I have been sailing it since -99. We had kids, they have moved out now. We still have the same boat. I so understand this project.

[@lydiaajohnson]

👍

[@graemeoliver744]

some boats are for life... i dont want another boat, which is good because nobody wants my boat

[@jannepeltonen2036]

Yeah. Mine is from 1986. Bought it from an old couple back in 2012. They were really sad to have to sell it.

[@wattsstirling]

After painting the inside of our house that my wife and I built we know exactly how you feel at the end of the day. Regards Don from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia

[@richh9241]

What a team... Absolutely love these later-stage build vids... Keep going guys.

[@andrzejmariazygler3499]

I've been with you since the first vlog, and now a heavenly change, first class UMA, and that's after the first painting, I loved UMA but this one more, congratulations KIKI and DAN. Good luck, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

[@garymost6255]

This is the first time I’ve ever stopped while watching to put in a comment. Here’s why: I LOVE that you took time to explain the light through the hull. It was assumed that that was the reason but nice to have it confirmed. I’ve been AMAZED and appreciate how you both put an emphasis on cleaning at, after and before each stage. (IMO it just reinforces the level of detail that is exercised.) Lastly, to me it speaks volumes companies are reaching out to you to assist in the refit (e.g. paint). I’m guessing that you both were just truly giving honest reviews and opinions and the fact that they are supporting you, your channel and refit is so cool. (I know… they get something out of it too but it seems the support came after the info was shared.) Now, back to the episode… 😊

[@rvwall-e]

So, you’ve framed and sheet rocked the walls. Now comes utilities, furniture, etc., and the entire outside. Still a lot to do, but each step now seems a step more “update” than repair and restore. It looks wonderful and I hope all goes forward smoothly. ❤❤

[@francesconicoletti2547]

They have however already installed the frames of most of the furniture

[@weaverjmitchell]

The work on the Uma looks so good right now. I love the fact that you guys are so transparent about sharing your mistakes to help others avoid the same ones.

[@LifeBetweenTheDash]

I love Kika's laugh. The best accomplished feeling.

[@eadric2002]

I love this phase of a refit. Feels like almost done... it only feels that way for a short while but still, momentary bliss. Also the fumes 😊

[@kristencody]

Awwww, she’s looking so good. 🥹

[@tadmorrison]

If all of KZbin was just to hear Kika laugh with delight, it was worth it

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you kids! One step closer to being on the water again. Be well. ❤

[@fritzsoland4780]

For the names on the hull, I suggest printing all the names on a special Water Slide Decal material. It is the same material as the decals in a model airplane kit. While the decal is wet, you can position it and squeegee out the air bubbles. After it dries, you can clear coat over everything for protection. Also, it allows you to add names in the future in order to match font and size.

[@SVSomeday]

Something so satisfying about the cleaning step

[@juliemac5604]

LOVE that groovy bass!!! Keep that song in rotation, please!

[@rolanddunk5054]

Hi,as the old saying goes you have certainly put a great deal of elbow grease into the project.I feel that it is going to be beautiful when finished.great videos.cheers,Roly🇬🇧.

[@rmccarthy175]

Dan you were correct when you said Stage Left. 😊 Stage Left and Right are from the Perspective of the Performer when facing the Audience. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@BobFirth]

What an accomplished. Looking forward to the next phase. Uma is looking great. I’m also so glad you use all precautions with the respirators and such.

[@gbunton]

kinda like painting a restoration car everything is in the prep.Your attention to detail is impressive.

[@alanmcinnes1111]

Congratulations, Kika and Dan! You’ve reached a major milestone in your progress towards resurrecting Uma. It will be interesting going forward to see how you outfit Uma to be an amazing world cruiser. Thank you for bringing us along on your amazing journey.

[@sailor5026]

So much work. I remember when you started years ago. A fresh beginning- new paint. Congratulations.

[@1dkappe]

“Years.” ROTFLMAO. 😂😂😂

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

Watching all the different body contortions you two put yourselves through, I could hear my mind saying, "I can feel my knees giving out" or "I can feel the back pain from doing that." So great job on the first primer coat. And don't take this anyway but as complimentary, Kika does not need any "assatone" workouts because all the climbing has already done the job. Looking forward to the next step.

[@Wandering_Kerrs]

That is quite a nice transition! It is sooo much lighter in there! Great Job!

[@georgelasko7019]

Looking GREAT guys! You have taken your time and did it RIGHT!! Now you can start realizing the fruits of your labor!! Kudos 🤗💕

[@JulieAndrews-d9u]

What you have achieved and now seeing everything come together, is well truly inspirational. Great job

[@echothegoodwolf]

What a big step! She’s starting to look like she will be a home again one day!

[@sheldondmanson]

The end is finally in sight for you guys. The hard work is finished; now it’s just the finishing touches. Great job on the refit! It’s been a long journey, and I’m sure you can’t wait to launch UMA and to start sailing again.

[@cherylsibson2529]

Uma looks great! Looking forward to more painting!

[@christineleckey6199]

Kika your so resilient and tenacious! There is no way I could have cleaned a whole vberth let alone nearly the whole boat alone all day! I would have been out every 5 mins like can I stop yet! Have fun in the Netherlands!

[@ThomasCurran-wj9nx]

What an amazing feeling of a job well done when all white and a phase completed!!!

[@michelbedos9371]

You both are the best at rebuilding a boat channel out there. Your formal is not only educational but also exciting and fun to be part of. All this is in addition to following your travels. Keep it up!

Ever again impressive how much a few liters of varnish change the whole image of the interior from construction site into living quarters (well, almost).

[@rosandcb]

Wow! That white coat feels so fresh! Dont forget to clean the airconditioner after all that dust from the last months! So that also the air ging around wil be clean and free of dust too 😊

[@tnthammond]

Love this. Have watch every episode but this one brought a tear. Amazing

[@robinholmes785]

As a general contractor and plumber, I am concerned that you have missed a step by not running the electrical conduit and all your plumbing rough-ins. The main electrical conduits running through bulkheads would ensure watertight seals and easy future-proof high/low voltage and data cable installs. Also, have you considered using PoE cabling to combine your low-voltage and data requirements?

[@1dkappe]

There will be more trouble on Mt. Clickbait. It’s a feature, not a bug. 😂

[@SailingUma]

We have plans for conduit. But it's much easier to paint and insulate first. Then run the plumbing and electrical.

[@robinholmes785]

I’m so thrilled for you guys! A little tear cane to my eye 🥲 You guys are a real inspiration. You work hard & seamlessly together ❤ I painted the interior of my Airstream white and it looks much bigger & cleaner. I have a very colorful palette, so there’s lots of color also.

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, thanks for answering the question about the light coming through the hull and other spots I had been curious about that. When you were going through the paint I became curious as to how much weight it will add to build. It seems to me to be heavy on the shelves but what do I know 🤓.

In my younger days I loved sanding & finishing and getting that coat of paint on… SO satisfying to see the results! But as I’ve done it a gazzilion times over the many many years…. YA, you couldn’t pay me enough to do that sanding, cleaning, taping, painting and cleaning again! Ugh I HATE doing it now. But I LOVED seeing this and your excitement!!
