NO MORE BILLS, FULLY OFF-GRID & Blacking Our Narrowboat! | Ep 015

[@Yachtvancar]

Love love love watching you guys. Every time you say Swindon I crack up having lived there. So glad the hill is so sound. Professional Narrow Boat kids. An inspiration.

[@UlaandJosh]

Thanks so much love x

Aww, that's lovely to say, thankyou!

Having built a house in the backwoods of British Columbia, I have a lot of respect for what you two have accomplished in such a short time. You guys deserve all the support you have received. Mark Alberta, Canada

[@UlaandJosh]

Mark, that's amazing! Great effort. And thank you too for that appreciation, it feels like everyone should know what they're doing as every man and his dog are doing it. But yea, not easy. All the best xx

[@dnewnova]

i live off grid in Arizona and i thought i had no more bills but everything becomes a bill your blacking and boat maintenance is a bill your channel is very good i am just binge downloading your playlist

[@UlaandJosh]

Yeahhhh nice one. Have you managed to watch every episode yet? x

We have just had lithium batteries fitted, OMG what a game changer, we can watch telly past 8.30 pm 😂 Pottery throw down is one of my fav programmes, loved your pots, what a great pressie 🎉❤

[@UlaandJosh]

Yesssss! Loving the lithium, we don’t ever need to run the engine now, unless we are actually cruising now, which is a complete game changer for us :) love the great pottery throw down! It is one of my favourite shows too!

Hello Ula and Josh. Thumb up - energy! Good energy! Have a beautiful day. Bye. Rudi.

[@UlaandJosh]

Hey Rudi! Thankyou 🙏 it's going to be so worth it!! 💓

[@wendymills4557]

Another great video this week! Interesting to learn about new things, such as anodes. The guys that did the blacking on your boat, and the electrician did a super job too. Look forward to next Sunday’s excursion 😊❤

[@UlaandJosh]

Thanks lovely :) YEAH we feel super lucky to have found them all just by looking online and asking some friends!!! Really lucked out there x

[@peterjensen1455]

Shipyard (S/Y) work is a talent unto itself. I love S/Y. Great feeling knowing you are “Fully Blacked and Charged”. Hopefully, your “Head” (Bathroom) is completed and you have a spot for your Washer…🍺🍺

[@JackASMooRe]

Even I'm going to be relieved (no pun intended) when you get that compost toilet. 😂

[@UlaandJosh]

I. CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!!!!

[@mralekito]

It’s like you are making a full episode of ‘Friends’ each week 😊 I don’t know how you pack it all in. Great work.

[@UlaandJosh]

We bloody don't either hahaha!! Thankyou by the way, appreciate your observation on it, as there's alot to cram in to a week! Xx

[@carolebuckle7977]

One of my friends is a qualified pottery teacher, she made great stuff, she taught in a college, but left it to work in a museum now, she still dabbles I think, great job Ula 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🇬🇧xxx

[@UlaandJosh]

Thank you so much!!! I absolutely love pottery and really hope to do it more in the future :)

[@marissaland3910]

You guys are awesome! Loving watching your renovations unfold. And Ula, your pottery is beautiful!

[@UlaandJosh]

Thanks Marissa x

[@davidsedlickas8222]

Boat protection comes in the shape of a hull protection not a simple few coats of bitumen! Galvanic isolators are banned in the US with good reason. Isolating transformers are the only way to go with AC and DC. A negative engine switch is a good addition to stop stray current finding its way to the hull. Take care both

[@UlaandJosh]

There are always more things to add to the boat… we will get there slowly :)

[@andreaamer1183]

Its fab when you get to grips with off grid living. Like i mentioned before we moved from England and bought some land up north ontario in the wilderness and built off grid. Yes it was overwhelming the first winter lol but we then we had an AMAZING SOLAR system and we never believed we could make 102% electricity in a day! It runs everything!!!! We have a super whisper generator that we only have to use on the odd very dull day in winter ( but dont forget eventhough we get lots of snow, the days sre VERY BRIGHT AND SUNNY, sunglasses a must). Now 2 winter , we have off grid living completely down pat! And so will you. ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR COMPOSTING TOILET LOL. IT never smells because 1 and 2s are seperate and a scoop of cedar shavingsplaced on top of 2s lol. Its the liveliest smelling toilet we have ever had ( and im a clean freak) so you will enjoy the composting loo. Great vlog and hoped you enjoyed you beer and nosh after a crazy week. Ps loved the pottery 😊❤

[@UlaandJosh]

Sounds idyllic !! What a beautiful place to live :) how did you manage to emigrate there? Was it because of work?

[@fizzzzerrrr]

That pottery is STUNNING!

[@FBGbarge]

Both pieces of pottery were beautiful, but the turquoise with copper is drop -dead!

Sooooo happy with how it turned out :)

WHAT FUN TO BE ABLE TO UPGRADE AND DO NECESSARY MAINTENANCE WITH PROFESSIONALS THAT CARE!!!.... WELL DONE, CANT WAIT TO SEE ALL THE NEW SPRITE UPGRADES. AND HOPEFULLY FIND A WAY TO RESTORE THE GLORIOUS PAINTING ON THE SIDES. BE BLESSED YA ALL!

I have some lovely pieces my brother made about 30 years ago. He passed away about 23 years ago, so it makes me very happy whenever I use them or look at them. He had become a master potter, and I enjoyed watching him work and teach. Watching you and your love of creating pottery brings a smile to my face. Enjoy, you wonderful humans. 🤗❤

This was an absolutely dream to watch,! i truely have never enjoyed watching vlogs as much as i do yours, you have the the exact right balance of being brilliantly informative, beautifully funny and amazingly honest and genuine in all aspect of your new lives, i think anyone thinking of living on a narrowboat would benefit massively from watching you both cos your simply covering it all leaving no stone unturned for us watchers and wanna be boatlifers, but i think want makes these vlogs so so enjoyable is you two, your love for eachother, your love for nature and your thirst for learning and gaining knowledge is a pure joy to watch 🥰🥰 im sure i say this every comment but you both truely make my week complete. Sending you all the love and abundance in the world darlings xxxxxxxxx 🥰🥰🥰 please set up a donations page id love to contribute and help take a little of the pressure off of you both ❤️ xxxxxxx

[@paulinehiggins8239]

That was so interesting. We’ve decided to look again into a narrowboat (we’re in Australia), we’ve had narrowboat holidays but now at 70 and 73 maybe having a few years in the UK and living the dream. Getting our dogs over there is the big thing, EXPENSIVE and we’re now waiting to hear back from the British Embassy to see if we can legally do it. Started looking at narrowboats and made enquires about out of water surveys and obviously blacking thus the great interest in your video. It was great, great timing too. LOVED the pottery, brilliant birthday present. Thanks heaps guys, see you in the next one, stay safe. 💕

[@UlaandJosh]

Did you ever hear back from embassy? Are you off to the U.K. narrow boating 😍🥰

[@paulinehiggins8239]

@@UlaandJosh. No sadly we’re not, our ages came against us, health was going to cost a fortune though I must admit I thought as Australia was part of the Commonwealth health wouldn’t be a problem. We were absolutely shattered as it was our biggest want. The long and the short now is we sold our home as we wanted to be able to just up and go but as it didn’t happen we ended up buying a beautiful little cottage in Victoria. Probably just as well but still it was our dream for our final years. Bright side is if you ever come back for a holiday you have somewhere to stay. LOL but you would be welcome. Henri is a Vet too Josh but he was the Senior Service, LOL our son in law was Army.

@@UlaandJosh I started with a small flat loom in college, and worked up to a 4 harness, 36" wide table loom later on. You might have enough space for a flat loom. With Josh's talents as well as yours, I bet you could whip up a dandy one right there on board. But my real passion is quilting, from wall hangings to king size bed quilts. I love experimenting with color and patterns.
