Moving into my Tiny house! Benjamin the Narrow boat // Tour

[@judysparks3109]

What a great Vlog and I am so proud of you. I have been watching Narrowboat Vlog's on KZbin for several months and your Vlog is so refreshing and I wish you the very best success. You have inspired me in my own life and keep it up we need more women out there talking about Narrowboat living all over the world. I live in the desert in the USA and love seeing all of the water.

[@foresterboy2011]

What an amazing boat you have and love the decor. But what I love most is your black n white moo cow jeans... they're 😎 cool.

[@TERRYB0688]

Very methodic Lizzy, nice to see an organised person

[@chrisfranklin8289]

You could do with a wood/solid fuel burner in the left front of the lounge for the cold winter nights and if you run out of gas. Also you should find plenty of storage under the seats in the dinette, Smooth sailing and Bon Voyage!

Congratulations on your move , I look forward to seeing more videos 😊what year of mfg. is Benjamin, when made ❓suggestion a old fashioned style steamer trunk on open bow ( dome top) with a lock for all sorts of storage of bulky clothing and stuff not used daily afixed to deck !

[@Rbourk252]

Well done. What a cosy boat. Congrats to you.

[@Outandaboutwithpoggy]

Very nice, glad to see your IKEA throwover on the top of your duvet, me and my wife are getting on a bit and we have two " Sheep " as we like to call them, very snug and warm, hope you are enjoying your new home and perhaps looking forward to many travels in her, best wishes Mike West Bromwich

Thank you! Hopefully next one will be up today if my internet allows it! Xx

[@rickbartley9255]

The boat is lovely , nice simple interior with clean lines. Congratulations on your new home!

[@simoncooper8272]

One of the nicest narrow boat designs I've seen so far! I love the rear deck, so much like a Dutch barge, great space, the bow well deck looks a great space too, obviously there is a compromise in interior space, but it would work really well for us! Enjoy your beautiful barge.

[@BenjaminVintageFinds]

Thank you! It's the perfect amount of space for me!

@@BenjaminVintageFinds d’you happen to know how it was brought over? Can it cross the channel on its own power, given a clear and wind free day? Or does it go on a truck or bigger boat?

Thank you for sharing! I love boats - especially at night with all the lights on! Look forward to your next video!

[@sapiens7821]

I’ve always dreamed of living on a narrow boat. Good luck on your new adventure the front decking area would make a nice wee Garden sitting area 👍

[@zero-lpds]

Aye, exactly my reckoning. That's a huge patio right there. A bit unusual on a boat that kind of size. It's awesome.

[@markaudley-thewles5920]

You have made this boat look really lovely. Glad to see I’m not the only one with duvet cover fitting issues 😂,M.

[@BenjaminVintageFinds]

Always the duvet!

[@Diesel-dog]

Look up California duvet roll so much easier

[@claremaidofthewave251]

Lovely. 👌🏻. Wonder if you might consider using bathroom and kitchen products that are eco friendly, especially living on the water? Good luck with the boat adventure 🙏🏻

Benjamin is taking shape and looking like a sweet cosy home x.

Great job young lady looks great and its not that tiny for one person 😁 did not see a log burner ? would be great with one of them happy days 😁😁👍👍

I recommend the jelly roll method for putting on duvet covers. Lovely video!

[@Traitorman.Con.14th.Sec3]

I won a competition in a circus when I was 10 years old using her method. My gran taught me that method. I also won the competition for putting a diaper on a doll.

[@leedavies3629]

Nice one looks well smart in there well done 🙂✌️

[@ladygardener100]

I spent my first year on my furnishings, which has transformed the boat, I despaired in first six month 'cos the grim wood work kept making it look very dated. I painted the ceiling/deckhead with quite a few coats of satin paint, after cleaning with sugar soap, not had to re paint in this year, since using a top Q scrubable paint. I bought full length curtains (NEXT, lined , Ebay £100) They stop draughts and look good too. The flooring was "practical", so bought Flotex carpet which is for boats, it's indestructable (so far), and I have a very hard wearing but softer, carpet end of roll in the saloon. Total cost was £200, about half the full retail price. I would put and underlay under the Flotex if I used it in the saloon, as it's very thin. I can remove it in summer, and hose wash and dry in one day. I replaced the foam on my diner/bed area, and re-covering it will be the final triumph, a strong modern and fireproof fabric, from "end of line" and other discount places, will get you very expensive fabrics at about one quarter of the full price.

[@alisongalloway1455]

Very cute, well done.

[@scoobyyt1548]

Just about to purchase another boat .and loved seeing this . Reminded me of my first day .great work take care ✌️

[@dawdawes]

Just picked you up on here, had a canal boat for 14 years until my knees gave way so decided to hit land again. Love vintage and run 1940sradio.com an online radio station in Lancashire but broadcasting around the world. Just one thing, a link for your family's boat yard , stay safe

[@zoeadams5728]

It looks brilliant, I can’t believe what you have done to it & how homely it looks. Enjoy xx

[@BenjaminVintageFinds]

Thank you!

[@janetellinger5728]

This is so awesome for a young energetic person Tiny house on water

[@langdonfairchild1st805]

Paint over the wood in a warm bright colour. Then will look more modern,bigger and brighter.

[@BenjaminVintageFinds]

It is very tempting, will try something in spring when it's not so cold!

[@langdonfairchild1st805]

@@BenjaminVintageFinds lol. Yes I agree 👍

[@anthonybryan9620]

Leave it how it is The wood makes the boat look warm Beautiful cosy boat

[@ladygardener100]

I bought a NB eighteen months ago, the owner/fitter had lined it with coarse grained, ie not veneered ply. I have removed all the pine trim , painted the ply with Zinssers (tough interior paint which is scrubable, having tried all the cheaper brands), and replaced cheapo pine 1" trim with 2" oak, and solid oak skirting. I suggest you just paint as little as possible over veneered ply, just lightly sand, wash with sugar soap and use a satin varnish, or leave it alone and put up artwork etc. Cleaning with dilute sugar soap will remove grease and grime.

[@artstarbby4760]

That’s a great idea 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@colinstobbart599]

Great video. Having lived on a NB for three years now. In Uk. Small tips under the sofa you have room for a pull out box on wheels. Also looks like you have a cassette toilet that means you should have lots of space under the bed for stuff you don’t need that much suitcases box of summer/winter clothes. I would love to go to france with my boat. Did you buy it there or have it shipped over, where are you? Are you in a marina do you live aboard? Have a word with David from on the cut I am sure he would love to interview you and that would get you a lot more people. You have got a great channel keep it up.

[@BenjaminVintageFinds]

Great idea, I will have to do that next xx

[@spencerwilton5831]

Please consider having your oven serviced. The flames were burning very yellow, which indicates incomplete combustion which is the primary cause of carbon monoxide production. It goes without saying that if this is what's happening you could be at very serious risk. Even when functioning correctly it's essential that you keep a window open when using the cooker, and obviously ensure you have a good quality, functioning and properly located carbon monoxide detector installed.

[@BenjaminVintageFinds]

Thank you for the comment! My dad noticed this too and we have since sorted it all out, thank you for your concern

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

well i learned something new. next time i have a flat with a gas range i'll know what to look out for. cheers.

[@wixom01]

I like how you ended the video starting outside at night, then moving inside. The contrast made moving inside feel warm and inviting. You even had the teapot on the stove! As for decorating, how about a television?

[@Traitorman.Con.14th.Sec3]

A bookshelf would be better.

You are going to find out that damp moisture will tarnish your clothes under your bed It goes with the territory since your in a damp atmosphere Your airing cupboard if you have one not being warm will also attach mould spores to your clothes Insulation on boats is the poor spray foam stuff quick for a boat builder to apply but not the best for boat owner So with this in mind if there in no air gap between your facia boat and spray foam behind it moisture transfer occurs and black mold appears in winter. Lots of negativity here but it's boating life
