Narrowboat Back Doors Brought Back to Life! Looking Good Enough Now For a Pirate Boat! 174

Having rejuvenated the Narrowboat Wee May's paintwork in the previous vlog, Lumpy's attention turns to his scruffy old back doors! That's not a euphemism!
Mrs Lumsden joins him on a beautiful Spring day so that she can sit in the sun, soaking up the rays and over-seeing Lumpy's work rate and quality level!
There's always time for banter and nature....and alcohol of course!
Some beautiful large carp cruising about and distracting the angler in Lumpy!

Well done Lumpy, Glad Mrs L was there to supervise and keep you in check.

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

Too right! Without her motivation and advice, there’s no way they would have turned out like that!!!

[@gillgregory6327]

Great job Lumpy! Looking good now.

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

Thank you. I’ve been looking after myself!!!…… the doors look ok too don’t they? 😀

[@nickevans1698]

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

[@stuartcox2785]

Great work looking good fella

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

Really happy with them mate. Improved the security slightly too, though I have more to do with that yet.

[@geoffdunn8479]

We were just saying you should have taken the door furniture off and then you turn it round and do a lovely job. The paintwork looks fabulous as well. Shame wee May can’t be seen from the junction as we are heading back to Fradley for the weekend

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

Thank you. I think we’re moving the boat from Huddlesford to Armitage on Friday, so coming through Fradley.

[@PK_Blinder]

Does Mrs L prefer her fish wrapped in batter...? And we all know she likes the antique look 😉

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

Is this innuendo bingo? Oh the cheek!

Nice job Lumpy. You did well to bite your tongue with all this talk about backdoors and wood.😅

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

Ooo errr ….. And strippers!

[@1970ste]

Well done Lumpy, enjoy the cider. Out of interest what black paint are you using for the gunwales?
