[@jackbamford3546]

74 year old here. nice to see you working back on the boat again ,you certainly have come a long way with the build you and Dawn. best wishes to Dawn for a speedy recovery from me and hazel

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou, Dawn is on the mend. Take care 👍

[@grahamlewis6062]

Oh dear, poor Dawn, hope you’re well on the way with your healing now. 💐🍦☕️🍰 Take good care, Joan

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou, the leg is healing and getting better each day. :)

It's always enjoyable watching the way things go together. I'm not fooled by the slap-dash approach--there are some seriously mad skills behind it all--which makes this channel so fun to follow. Nothing pretentious here, just the sort of folks one would want to sit and enjoy a beer with.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou! We enjoy doing the work, making the vlogs and definitely enjoy a beer aswell! 🍺

[@vadmal5210]

I like these DIY vlogs! Thank you

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Always the main focus of the channel.

[@stephenpegum9776]

About time you got that bloody ceiling fixed Peter - I'd almost given up hope that you'd ever finish it !! 😎😱

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Not been looking forward to doing it... but needs must!

[@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt]

Dawn I hope you feel better Peter - I could do with your tidying up skills on sloe patrol !! Good to see you guys again James

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Dawns on the mend thankyou... hopefully all sorted before our holiday to Turkey in a couple of weeks! If you provide the beer I will provide my 'magic' tidying up skills! 🤣🤣🤣 Hope your keeping well?

[@letsbefrank6269]

Enjoying the videos.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Good to hear... hopefully.have a few more out in the coming weeks.

[@thedieiscast9729]

Hi Peter, you look like you have bought a nice set of chisels, from what I could see they could be Stanley sweetheart. Envious. Good to see you back at it once more.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

10/10 they are Stanley sweethearts. Dawn bought them me for Christmas (or my birthday) last year... well spotted!

[@michaelbates9400]

Your back great keep up the great vlogs

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Cracking on with the jobs... 😀

[@cynthiavansaun1500]

Dawn, I hope your leg injury is on the mend. It was nice seeing what you two are up to these days. Best of luck with the ceiling Peter, it's looking very promising.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou, the leg is on the mend... plenty of resting it and learning to walk on crutches!

[@castingshadows282]

Great to see you back at your handy work Peter. Good job well done all round. My Tip. A length of 2 x 2 from floor to just below ceiling height with another length of 2 x 2 nailed to one end of the other making a T end. placing the sheet of plywood in place, use said T to hold in place at one end of board which you can adjust to height by sliding the T end in a direction to hold firm. Leaving you free to fix with no trouble. Hope you see what I am trying to say. 🙃 Get well soon Dawn. Sorry to learn of your injury. Make the most of it whilst you can. 🤗

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Yes I think I will be making some kind of support to assist Dawn with the holding of the plywood! 🤣

[@andrewwheeler2599]

Great to see you "cracking on"... Wishing Dawn a speedy recovery.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Thankyou!

[@JohnlynHD]

Missing your vlogs. Hope you’re both ok. Lyn and Angela( south wales)

[@leona_devon]

Nice to see you back on the tools, hope Dawn is recovering ok. Can't be that 'tight' as you are using Kingspan, I know from renovating my house, that stuff is not cheap! ;) You could use a support rod to help with the panels, saw James (the boat that James built) do that. :) anyway hope you are all well, keep up the great work.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Dawn is definitely on the mend now, resting on holiday helped! Kingspan isn't cheap, but is great at insulating - saving money in the long run when it comes to not using as much coal / wood in the log burner. So much as it was eye watering to buy, hopefully it should 'pay for itself' in the long run. Take care. :)

[@robcowan7123]

Where you guys been I hope all is well

[@stephenbowker824]

Solar panels make a great table for the jackary 😂😂

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

It was either put it there or on the floor next to the boat... and then it would have ended up in the water! 🤣🤣🤣

[@glynnisross7974]

Have you stopped making vlogs as I can’t remember seeing you for a long time?

[@PhilHonour-zz5mc]

Why didn’t you use a chalk line to mark the centres and predrill the screw holes

[@michaelbates9400]

Hi it's Mick here when are doing your next vlog carnt wait😁

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

There's a video out in next couple of days relating to using our new bike whilst boating. But then not sure on next one (we have a couple of days then we go on holiday, so not sure if we will get much filmed before then).

[@benedettat]

Hi, thank you for sharing this video! Ceiling height is becoming an issue. I am looking at ways to gain a few extra cm on a narrowboat with steel top and wood panels fit on the ceiling already. Would stripping the panels off and doing the insulation on the roof (so outside) be a solution?

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

ooo, I guess n the face it thats an option, but for one the bearers holding the ceiling would probably still restrict how much head room you could gain. Plus re doing the outside is probably trickier than imagined. Especially with things like mushroom vents, chimney collars, boiler flues and sliding hatches to deal with.

[@IJ_uk]

I've never used anything apart from glue and cheap grab adhesive. It there a reason wood glue wasn't used? You use screws as well so wood glue would jave time to dry.

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

In many circumstances I would use either Tightbond wood glue or Gripfill. Both if which I have found to do a really good job. BUT I definitely want this to be a 'do it once' job and the combination of screws and CT1 should mean it's a job that will never need doing again. Last thing I want is to find in a few years I have issues with the ceiling coming loose. But overall yes I could almost certainly have not used CT1 and it still would have been fine... this method is just 'belt and braces'.

[@IJ_uk]

@@WingingItBoatingonaBudget I've only just discovered you on KZbin and this is the first video I've seen of yours. So I'm not up to speed with your work. I've subscribed and will enjoy future videos. 👍♥️

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

@@IJ_uk there's quite a few of the older videos to catch up... we bought the boat and stripped it to a bare shell... the videos cover the entire rebuild. 😀
