Building Walls On My Barge Boat

[@rolandtb3]

Welcome back. Great friends, lessons learned. What a change on your updated barge home. Enclosing just in time for winter.

[@pangtjonresor]

Hello. So nice to see you again. I'm both impressed, amused, and jealous of your projects but mostly interested and I long for new episodes all the time, it's going to be an incredibly nice home when you're done. Good luck. Looking forward to the next video. 👏👍

[@DIYinventionideas-pm6lw]

Perhaps this is the best idea I've ever seen on KZbin! The way you executed it and brought such profound meaning is truly admirable. Thank you for your dedication!"

[@bradsmith5998]

Your welds are really looking good my friend

[@alan-sk7ky]

Looks suspiciously like an overbuilt holiday caravan 😄 Good work MFB keep at it.

[@advohelp]

Hi from Russia. It's nice to realise Your final plan. And to appreciate a unique experience of Your boat offshore building. Although, as I guess, there are some opportunities that You already missed. First of all, it's more practical to make "metal engineering" with stronger enforcement. Not just protecting the weight of the roof itself, but the enforcement with the risk of some bridge or another ship collision. As You maybe guess, Your old barge creators were making such "extra enforcement". And this allows You to use a barge after so many decades. Secondly, it's normal not just to paint metal constructions with a brush, but to clean mechanically (with sand) and to paint with air flow. It's more guarantee from rust. Especially on the water humidity long years use. And for sure it's OK to make all this grubbing, welding and painting on land, and then to put Your barge on water. Or to make a cabin structure on land and then to put it on the ship by a crane. And to make wall panels mounting on water if needed. So, I'm not impressed with Your experience of boat building, project managing and engineering decisions. But impressed with Your energy. Finally, I would say, that You've made a great job. But the organization of this job is not optimal. And the result is less optimal. And ecology impact of screwing, cutting and painting on water is in question. Anyhow, Your energy and efforts are not in question, as I mentioned before. And makes my admire and respect. If one day I can make a metal ship production, hope to admire You with well organized process.

"Some mistakes were made". If all of our mistakes turned out as beautifully and wonderfully as your barge boat, the world would be a better place !!

[@gbppittpetitt8684]

Right here in the USA We call that a party Barge! That is going to be a very nice one! You're welding is off the charts. You are a craftsman now! Big time fabricator! With disposable income too. Dangerous combination! Have fun. Next?

[@GoofieNewfie69]

Hehehe, lessons learned by doing what people say not to do. Yup, it's a good thing for some that there are warning labels on things for people who think they know more than others, sometimes that don't help either. But the funny thing is people encourage and praise it.

[@Confused_Collared]

OMG, the music choices in this video have been on point. 10/10

[@RJCMT-3]

Hey there guy, we have a saying in the trades - "plan your work, then work your plan". Good luck with the project moving forward, I'm pulling for you.

[@Wrasko]

Looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing more

[@charleshutchings9355]

Fortunately, I thought of you this morning, and decided to make a quick check to see if you had posted recently. And, here it is! The barge boat is looking amazing. Yes, you have good friends to help. It appears you work well together. I am anxious to see the next episode.

[@godlugner5327]

5:17 I have to say my favorite addition has to be the DMX lights (and speakers ofc but I love me a good light show)

[@jayben00]

Impressive build. It will be interesting how the boat responds to high winds.

[@TukangPerahukayu]

Selamat beraktivitas sodaraku nyimak belajar membuat kapal yang super unik dan keren🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@michelfortier9563]

Very cool! Wondered what happened to you. Looks like it's coming along pretty well. You should communicate with us a little more often....lol.

[@johnhopkins6658]

Good to see more of your project after the party boat episode, which I thought was the finale. Looks loke a good progress, although I'd have done some things differently.

[@herman7661]

I would have fitted the side walls 20-25 cm in from the side of the hull. It would, of course, have narrowed the living space a little, but combined with handrails, it would have enabled you to walk along the outside of the "building". This would have been useful for various activities such as docking, for instance, but especially for cleaning the outside of the boat and the windows.

[@markfowler2066]

Add flip down retractable walkways.

[@DJFRIZZY]

Love seeing your progress.

[@rohanderstevens4759]

Blessing my brother keep up the good work lm here from the start 🙏 🙌 💪

[@StephanPluemer]

Nice, aber warum hast Du keine Sandwichplatten für das Dach genommen? da wirst Du viel Probleme mit Tauwasser haben würde ich denken. Gruß Stephan

[@BobMuk08]

Exciting progress!🥳

[@MrJerobona]

Excellent work! Congratulations!

[@daanjanson5362]

And you painted the first boat 😃👍🏻👍🏻

[@denniscarreno5882]

Job well done guys!

[@inekelassooij840]

Het ziet er tot nu toe geweldig uit. Mooi gedaan top 🎊

[@robertpettigrew9042]

Wow really coming along!

[@kasperon1]

Lookin forward to the next video!! Btw Nice work there😊

[@jackiejanetm]

VERY interesting video! You and your friends do great work!

[@MikeC19100]

The structure is looking better every video. I am a little surprised that you don’t add any sealant or some type of waterproofing between the external panels and the frame structure. That addition seems to be a necessity to most any boat build and it especially seems necessary for a structure like that where you will be living inside the structure. Not only would it help to seal and semi-waterproof the joints it would help to minimize squeaking between the dissimilar materials.

[@magnusfjellheimkristensen3643]

Two Years gone allready damn Tiime really goes by

[@briansmythe3000]

Your come a long way Bro I remember your first episode I thought this dude is funny Pleasure Too watch

[@PeterLee-zn3jl]

For safety..add winshield wipers...and a horn..!

[@Chris-ch5nb]

Dude is getting ripped building a party barge. Kind of make me miss my youth.

[@NeoAndersonReloaded]

Great video, see you next year!

[@williammcintosh712]

Looks great. What is used to seal between the deck and the wall panels?

[@johnhughes8563]

Very very well done .

[@LearnandLive97]

Gute arbeit. Hallo von Kanada ❤

[@martinsubira449]

Amazing work. I enjoy every video. I wish they were more frequent. Don't you need a registration or special inspection after that big boat modification?

[@philipstreechon4523]

Very nice work. I would have put thermal bridging insulation between the panels and the steel beams.

[@ckm-mkc]

You don't need that as the outside skin is decoupled from the inside with insulation.

[@philipstreechon4523]

Yes I know that, but the steel structure is on the inside and welded to the deck and will make the inside skin very cold. Thermal bridging is a phenomenon that can happen when you use materials on the building envelope that have different insulating values.

[@teeanahera8949]

Bravo! A well thought out plan comes slowly to fruition. Will you double glaze the windows or at least use low emissivity glass (Low E glass)? Low E glass is not as good an insulator as double glazing but it is high performance (using different physics) and much, much cheaper.

[@kevinmartin3859]

Looks great 😊

[@baz320]

Wow that looks amazing

[@joeboonen7421]

Looking great!

[@per-olamjomark7452]

The engine caught fire but the party continued. Sounds very Berlin.

[@garyfairbrother5532]

Really looking great and well thought out, but I’m having trouble visualizing where the elevated helm stand figures into this. Did I miss something?

[@Peter-jo3wt]

Putting the helm sufficiently behind your forward Port door, would seem to be necessary to captain and pilot your enormous houseboat. The fact that the walls and sides of your vessel, now conspire to make it a sailboat, may dictate the need to put it on the hard again, to attach a more substantial keel, to allow you to better navigate. You will also undoubtedly need larger engines to overcome the wind's effects. You may want to consult a Marine architect or engineer, to avoid mistakes... Which could be much more expensive in the long run. Great job though !! Really great job !! Goodgen Morgen !!

[@garyfairbrother5532]

@@Peter-jo3wt can you tell me if this is the same barge he built the raised platform bridge deck on last year? And if so did he remove it in favor of the houseboat configuration? Thanks, I’e been away for awhile.

[@RogerEverett]

Nice job! Are you planning on adding insulation?

[@ckm-mkc]

Those panels are heavily insulated already, they are designed to build large freezers & refrigerators....

[@ronbuckner8179]

duct taping the holes you need to cut keeps things much cleaner.

[@davidgentz1731]

We'll be fine enough at every garage sale in town here in the next 5 years

[@chulieho]

looks good cool project .

[@telahunbelachew6313]

Very educational video. Thank you for sharing. Who supplied you the wall panels? What are they called?

[@jonflanagin6682]

Attach a half of a welding glove gantlet to the bottom of the helmet well protect your neck.

[@ckm-mkc]

I've been wondering about building with these commercial refrigerator panels for some time. One thing that worries me is how you deal with condensation...

[@vanessabryan786]

They are fairly well insulated if from refrigeration units or even insulated clad buildings . For fire and noise insulation as well as rot prevention look into basalt needle matting.

[@judegenrieadalin4706]

It is getting better

[@rickdee67]

Good job! Is there any seal between the panels?

[@gca259]

Did the structural engineer who designed the steel frame include the stiffening/bracing effect of the cladding? I enjoy all My First Boat videos - thanks 🙂

[@ehofman7636]

Its going to by a nice 👍👍👍👌👌

[@s.u.6198]

music and voice like Bob Ross

[@andrewmullen4003]

I hope you will be using the phenomenal amount of offcuts from the walls?

[@heelgraag]

Please allow me to give you some feedback. I have owned and lived on two of these 'Amsterdam-style' barges so I know what i am talking about. I see that your walls end on the deck. This allows water to drip on to the deck and it will rot away. it would have been better to have the frame right on the edge and the wall hanging over. No you will have to retrofit something to lead the water off of the deck into the water.

[@edvardfranke]

Thx

[@rogerroger7734]

Looks great man!

[@danbo98042]

I really enjoy your videos! But why was the music "California Dreamin'" played so slowly?

[@tygi]

Where do you find these guys helping you? :)

[@deadkemper]

two years ! whatt ! wher has the time gone...I subbed to you after i saw your first two vids so that must be 3 ???

[@Wrong-Way-Round]

Good to have a catch up video, interesting to see your choice of outer shell, I would though have thought aluminium skinned paneling would be better due to thw weight when working with it also for the total weight when completed. I have too though a smsll criticism in your translation to English, panels or sheets is the proper term, not "plates". Plates is the name given to small single layer pieces of metal sheets.I recall you also saying "plates" when you were working with wood, the right term is boards, as in floorboards, where walls are concerned then the term panels is used, as in wallpanels. I hope this helps you a little in the editing of your videos. MfG Rick.

[@udaypremji]

Hi, after long time you have uploaded your blog, how are you. ?

[@Ron-dx9wq]

If you ever come up along side a jetty, pilings, or another boat, you'll wish you had leaned those walls in by 10 degrees

Maybe a handrail too..lol

[@flir67man84]

Very good

[@outlawflyer7868]

I would have added silicon between each joint to keep air and water from getting in.

[@ckm-mkc]

You don't need to do that with these, they are designed to build walk in refrigerators so are actually air tight when you snap them together.

[@texasflysuperstar]

@@ckm-mkca walk in fridge doesn’t bob around on a river. I would have added silicone as well.

Not if you were or know...? Using a saw like that, and cutting thin metal as that .....run the blade ( carbide tip ) backwards , much smoother cutting

[@peterherrington3300]

Why did you ask 2 experienced builders their advice on panel fitting only to ignore them both , then admit later they were right ? Why ask ?

[@GoPoundSalt]

It seems that you don't care about the amount of weight you keep adding onto your boats.
