Narrowboat bedroom renovation begins - Now, where do we store our clothes?! Ep19

[@jansmith8370]

Love hubby’s humor.

[@glynnisross7974]

What a brilliant video. I just love the comedic banter between you but in the end your decisions come together perfectly and the boat looks better than ever. Love to Ernie, such a gorgeous boy.

Thank you Glennis for this lovely comment and for watching 😍

Can we just say that we are loving your vlogs. Only just came across you both. My husband, Chris was in stitches watching you putting up that blind in the kitchen. He’s also come across screws made of cheese when he was fitting out our boat. Just love your sense of humour😂. We think your boat is looking really good inside. Keep up the good work. Nona and Chris on NB Kagran.

Hi there Nona and Chris.Thanks for watching and commenting. Screws made of cheese 🤣 may see you out on the cut 😀

[@jayne4328]

What a good laugh with you both. You make a great team. Can not wait to see the bedroom next week. Ernie is just so lovely, I have 2 dogs that I love to bits. Enjoy your week.xx

[@uponreflection]

Thank you jayne for your lovely comment. I'm excited to show you the colour and headboard design in next week's vlog. Ernie is a gorgeous boy, we are currently working hard on his reactivty with other dogs as he gets so scared and lunges and barks at every single dog in his sight 😳

[@susanb4481]

I had a highly reactive dog, distraction and treats helped. Exposure to other dogs in controlled off leash environment ie dog park or play group also helped.

[@uponreflection]

@Susan B Hi Susan, yes I'm finding distraction and treats help a little and he seems better when in open spaces but if he sees a dog within a certain distance from us then all hell breaks loose. He goes mad. I'm seeking help from a behaviorist next week so hopefully we can help him overcome this.

Yet another triumph ... you guys just keep getting funnier and funnier. That was a superb vlog , really entertaining. You are both so natural in front of the camera- absolutely brilliant as always This channel gets better every week , and it's clear to see , from the positive comments you get week on week , we all love what you are doing . Keep up the great work and thank you for allowing us into your lives every week . Super cute Ernie is the best !

[@uponreflection]

Thank you Welshcake, this is good to hear as we were worried this week as when we watched it as it went live we thought the music was overbearing a little bit so we are glad that so far we haven't had anyone saying that we couldn't be heard or anything and have got good feedback from you. Always appreciated and always look forward to your comments. Thanks again for watching and your continued support, its great to have you along with us on our journey 😀

[@welshcake1271]

@@uponreflection You are my favourite narrowboat vloggers right now. You have managed to get the balance just right . Your personalities and warmth shine through every week and that’s what we love . Some can be too scripted and manicured . You guys are naturals , so you don’t need to worry about that. Keep doing what you do cos the formula keeps on working…..well done 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@belindablack9209]

Love you guys. totally agree on the Jammie Dodgers

[@uponreflection]

Hi Belinda, thanks for watching. Jamie Dodgers are the best aren't they, they are my true weakness 😜

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Oh the opening was hilarious... Paul thinking he was quids in... lol. Being on a barge and restricted space, put the bed up higher then you can have storage underneath it.. You know the type that the bed lifts up at one end on a spring loaded hinge type thing. I think light grey paint to make the bedroom look bigger. Liz & Paul, don't buy those biscuits ever again... it is the only way to not be tempted to eat a whole packet of them in one go. I only have a bikkie or two when I visit people... much safe that way to not gain any more weight.. lol. Looking forward to next weeks episode.*

[@uponreflection]

Hi Andrea, yes the gas lift bed is what we have so has lots of storage underneath but need a little unit for every day clothes I think so I don't have to lift bed up everyday. I can neither confirm nor deny if grey is our chosen colour 😜 I think you'll be quite surprised next week when you see. I think not buying those biscuits is truely the only way forward really and one that i will make every effort to stick too...until the next time 🤣🤣

[@pilpelet100]

A cliffhanger! Looking forward to seeing what colour you choose.

[@uponreflection]

Ha ha ha who doesn't love a good cliffhanger. Actually, I hate them, I'm too impatient 🤣

[@pilpelet100]

@@uponreflection Me too. But I'll live with it!!☺☺

[@EdSmith-wb6lx]

You two are hilarious it did not take long to take care of the wardrobe. Then the wall problem was easily resolved, i stepped in to our living room and there is my lady eating her third Jammie dodgers that we get at the international store in Vegas but i did get 1 just, Any colour as long as it is light to make the room seem bigger and brighter, gives you more romping room The come in to the bedroom always gets me going to, Ed 40 S of Vegas XX plus 1 for Ernie X

[@uponreflection]

Hey there Ed. Those jammy dodgers are dangerous 🤣 it's kind of a light colour that we've gone for, but I'm not giving the game away until next week so catch you then 😉

[@sandraweller703]

Looking good guys 🎉

[@uponreflection]

Thanks Sandra 😊

[@debbieobrien4204]

Absolutely love you three x Ernie just goes with the flow 😂 x Your a very genuine couple no falseness just real x

[@uponreflection]

Argh thanks Debbie and thanks for joining us on our adventure 😀

[@agfbuilding]

I think you’ll do a sailaway next , definitely the way forward if your a chippy .

[@uponreflection]

Hi Adie, maybe one day... For now though we just look forward to making this our home and look forward to being on her full time. Who knows what's beyond that for us, exciting times though a 😜

[@stuartcreevy3926]

You guy's are a treat, really enjoy the vids

[@uponreflection]

Thanks Stuart, think the music was a little too loud in this one, didn't realise until it had already gone live...oh well lesson learnt and we are glad you are enjoying them 😀

[@stuartcreevy3926]

@@uponreflection It's watching vids like this thats keeping my wife and I going, we can apply for her visa at the end of this month then about three months until her and the dogs will be here then we start getting all the ducks in a row so hopefully within a couple of years we will end up on the cut as well.

[@uponreflection]

@@stuartcreevy3926 that's so good to hear that it will all be coming together for you. Look forward to seeing you on the cut 😉

[@DEmma1972]

Absolutely had to pull the wall. Needs to fully dry rather than patch repairs

[@uponreflection]

Yes, definitely happy that we decided to do it the right way, although it was so dry behind so must have maybe been an old leak.

[@valeriebaxter2354]

My guess is a duck egg or plum x

[@uponreflection]

Ooooo interesting...I can neither confirm or deny 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting Valerie. X

[@mirandaherridge2304]

Hilarious I’m exactly the same with paint even after convincing myself I like it I’m still not sure until I decide tough it’s staying can’t be asked to think about it anymore 😂 …

[@uponreflection]

Sometimes you just don't know until the room is fully dressed with ornaments etc do you Miranda and then it all looks different. X

[@mirandaherridge2304]

Yep exactly, the finishing touches is the best bit although I love painting 😂 xx

[@uponreflection]

Me too, I love it so much I really do think over time my house has got smaller due to the walls getting thicker and thicker with paint 🤣

[@valeriebaxter2354]

Ernie's face at 14 says it all x

[@uponreflection]

Valerie, I've never had a dog that can say so much with his eyes before honestly...they say dogs make no judgments, well I beg to differ with Ernie 🤣

[@glennsunman9859]

After about ten years the walls start to spontaneously dissolve and you have to buy a new boat so boat builders get repeat sales
