Old school hand pump. No power? No problem. Always have water….

[@MLPH09]

I'm very impressed with your carpentry skills as I've said before and I'm also impressed with the way you have mended your glasses. You are quite an expert in lots of different fields I feel

[@canicebannon]

Yes! For a while it was only one plaster holing them together. Thankfully symmetry is restored! 😂

[@omvaren]

Beautiful counter! There was original a ball in the interior of the pump. A steel or copper ball, like a golf ball without the dimples. That was the original non-return valve..not from Latvia...I used a wooden ball, but after some time that ball was not round any more en leaked. Steel balls you find at the local autobus repair shop (London transport) out of a discarded ball-bearing.

[@canicebannon]

There is a valve. It’s a flat one metal on metal. The Blake toilet has a ball in the valve. But even on the Blake I have a non return valve. Between the two we’ll get pumping. 😂😂😂

[@canicebannon]

I got the job return valve from Latvia. The answer will be coming soon!😂😂

[@cazbarr6484]

Absolute treat every Sunday. Love the vintage pieces you're finding to use on your build. I think the end result is going to be a thing of beauty.

[@canicebannon]

As the boat was built in 1910, I’m aiming to get as many period parts for the boat from the same era(ish).😀

[@robertsmith2319]

You probably need to charge that tap assembly before it willpump. Great vid as usual. I Love seeing the interior coming on.

[@canicebannon]

This is a new tip I didn’t know about. It will be implemented. Thank you Robert!

[@raytalbot5890]

That looks incredible 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@canicebannon]

Thanks Ray!

[@katarwenkate]

I do love a new tap lol. A simple soul who has just watched your vlog which took presumably hours of hard graft and ingenuity to do. Love the kitchen top n “tap”, marvellous Canice x. 😊

[@canicebannon]

The thing is …. It’s like a puzzle and when you’ve completed the puzzle it’s quite an achievement. This kind of work is exciting and so rewarding. Hardly notice the time going by!

[@glaerup]

Love the hand pump. Reminds me of the kitchen in my aunts house in the 60's. The counter is truly stunning. Have a great week.

[@canicebannon]

The counter is a revelation! It’s going to be really nice after 4 coats of varnish!🤩

[@mikef5792]

Always look forward to you content.. keep up the good work

[@canicebannon]

More on the way Mike!

[@johnlockhart5889]

Thank you, I enjoy hard work, I could watch it for hours. Seriously though, nice job on the counter top, and now you can prime the sea captain to yell “pump you lousy buggers, pump!”

[@canicebannon]

Hi John, the plan is that I’ll get better at carpentry by the time I have to do some serious intricate wood work!

[@rareairvideos3070]

What no interior drone shots... damn it all to heck fire... Hahahahaha.. Missed a great opportunity to destroy it! Loving that sink surround and of course you would go for a hand pump. This is getting... Funner! Cheers Canice!!

[@canicebannon]

I was thinking of flying the drone through the front hatch through the boat and out the door…. I may yet try it!😂😂😂

@@canicebannon Ohhh Canice!!!!! Yikes! Ill send you an Insta 360 and you can fake a fly through... Yikes!! I have a Mavic Pro 2 and for work a Autel Evo 2 and yeah.. not shutting off the sensors. You Da Man!

Morning Canice. Fantastic vlog! Worktop…….phenomenal, Tap…….Out of this World but your time, patience and skills are incredible!!! And love the skylight. All the best. Joe and Georgie 🌹⚓️

It’s a miracle! It’s all new to me!😂

[@Makesmistakes]

ALWAYS good to see you with a respirator on, my friend. I worry about your dust exposure in that confined space. Love seeing the little projects and the progress.

[@canicebannon]

I wonder what inhaling chromium dust does to your lungs? I’m guessing it’s not good. 😂😂😂

[@Makesmistakes]

@@canicebannon probably not good, but at least they will be shiny! 😁

[@steveroperfilms]

Good not to be reliant on electricity, and the Captain will be able to yell "All hands to the pump!" Greetings from Bali.

[@canicebannon]

I saw a pump on a boat in the Netherlands and knew it was only right to have one in Linda.🤩

[@jackfish9831]

When we use our handpump, we first add some water in the toppart above the plunge to create a vacuum.

[@canicebannon]

That’s a good tip! Thank you! 🤩

[@rogercurnow180]

That came up OK! The stain looks good!

[@canicebannon]

I was very close to walloping the surface with a hammer to age it up a bit. 😂😂😂

[@rachelleottereyes364]

Counter top is stunning! Love my Sundays with Canice :)

[@canicebannon]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos Rachelle.😀

[@keithtregidgo5639]

Most enjoyable video, it's always a pleasure to see you bring things together. It's all coming along nicely.

[@canicebannon]

The Latvians have delivered and I can install the pump!

[@alistairbeckett9171]

The counter just looks stunning with that sink and the pump is the perfect compliment.

[@canicebannon]

I’m really pleased how the stain brought out the grain! I had no idea it would look so good! 😊

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

I have never seen a farm house pump as a faucet. I love it! The galley is going to look marvelous. Great job on the routing and love the stain on the wood. Very classy. Hopefully the Latvians will come through with your package by next week. It is scary as I am starting to recognize the terms you are using and what tools do what. Of course I have been following you for most of my life 😂. Have your folks been to the boat to see the progress? I saw your dad’s sneakers in ALDIs the other day and thought of him in his special ones 😍. Have a good week. Glad your weather is improving, still unsettled here. 😊🤗 Kathy

[@canicebannon]

I’m traveling back to the folks once a month at the moment. Mum has cancer and is learning to live with it. Immunotherapy and a small bit of Chemotherapy. She’s doing well and we just keep our fingers crossed. The Latvians have delivered! I’ll be connecting it tomorrow!

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

@@canicebannon I am sorry to hear about your mom., luckily you are close enough that you can visit. Glad she is getting treatment and that she is doing well. Lots of 🤗❤️ for your mom. Thank goodness the Latvians came through!! Looking forward to your sink with water in it 😂. Take care Canice. 😊🤗 Kathy

[@TheSalMaris]

Did the Pirate Restorer forget to prime the pump? What a Pirate Puzzle you've made of all the counter components! So many (hopefully nonmoving) parts--but you go it all together and it's looking good and for sure ready for Adventure. Thank you for this glimpse into your madness. Fair winds, friend.

[@canicebannon]

Well. As far as I’m concerned priming the pump is witchcraft! It worked!😂😂😂😂

[@magicbusart]

W O W !!! That looks fantastico I love what you did to the counter top and the colour is just perfect. All your hard work is paying off and Linda is becoming so beautiful day by day. Meanwhile. . .while waiting for certain parts to arrive, a few pump songs Pump Up the Jam . . . Pump Up the Volume . . . Pump It . . . Pumped up Kicks . . . 😃

Canice, your prism! Any idea where I can get one? I have one that is smashed and damaged beyound repair. Many thanks

[@canicebannon]

If you go to eBay and search “deck prism” you find them. However they are rare. Save the search and eBay will let you know when they come up. Or do what I do is have a lots of saved searches and check them daily….

[@sjoerds1]

Put same water on the top side of plunjer of the pump. And it wil work ,

[@canicebannon]

It worked! 😂

If there's one thing you're good at, it's pumping with your hand.

When the Captain finally comes out of his dark hovel, he will think he had been press-ganged onto a different boat. He'll look around at all the glowing wooden splendour and realize that he needs a new suit of clothes.

[@canicebannon]

I was sitting in the boat today and I didn’t want to leave as it was tidy and shiny and has running water!
