Hi Beeca, Chris.Wow! What an episode. The first 2 minutes are full of audio effects which is amazing, and must have took Chris ages to sync everything up. Then we had an amazing "Cooking Breakfast" sequence. You're videos are just amazing, production and creativity are the best, again it must have taken you both ages, and it's very much appreciated. Becca's floor is now looking spot on. Becca always comes up with an idea and today the floor solution worked. Sink tops are perfection. Well done both of you. Thank you. Take Care.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

thanks again for your lovely words, and noticing, yes it takes really long , I do like to try and put out the best possible video, glad it comes across well, Becca has truly done an amazing job in the kitchen ...just wait until you see what she's done with the hatch take care

[@mungmungie]

Let Chris sit on it while Bex drills up from above. What could go wrong? Just imagine describing to Emergency Services that you just attached Chris to the top of the work surface! 🤣

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Hahaha!!! I did say that at the time too!!! That would end up in one of those books about weirdest accidents in the kitchen!!! 😂

[@mungmungie]

@@TheNomadicCrobot, There is very little that would surprise me. Screwing some one's bottom into a work top....pretty mild stuff. I used to be a letter carrier, and the things I saw--I have a pretty good imagination, but nothing near what I would need to invent the stories I could tell....😂

[@lacyoflittlerobincottage1403]

The floor is beautiful Bex in spite having a crazy helper. We think you (Becca) should wood~burn your signature into the kitchen counter, after all YOU are the one who designed and have made it come to life. It's a work of art. Not to leave Chris out in the cold he does make a good brekkie, even though a bit scorched around the edges, but he's learning. Be good to yourselves ~ until next time Hugs & Love ~ Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾🇺🇸

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Aww thank you so much 🥰 that's really made my day. Maybe il leave a little signature somewhere ❤️ Its just so nice to see a vision come to life, especially when you embark on it not really knowing what you're doing or if you can really turn it into what you can see in your imagination! He does make a mean brekkie! Thanks so much, sending lots of love and hugs right back at you guys xx

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Thank you for sharing! A few people have now mentioned this so il perhaps adopt this tactic when I carry on with the rest of the flooring. Although I have to say after the first few iffy nails I got into a good rhythm with them and they weren't problematic after that. Chris felt a bit differently mind!!! 😂

It is obvious, Becca is the carpenter in this family. She should have worked on the hatches too. Nice work on the countertop with the scaffolding boards.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Aww thank you Robert. I have really discovered a love for carpentry throughout all of this ❤️

[@Curve2Theatre]

Well done over coming the problems with the floor. Don’t feel too bad about those bending nails Chris .It usually happens if the timber your hammering into , is not on a solid base.Any bounce in the timber will result in a bent nail. You need to press down on the board as hard as you can , to stop any bounce while your hammering .😊

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Oh that is so interesting. Thanks so much for sharing that. Those nails were a bit too long too which didn't help things. We had some a bit too short and some a bit too long!!! 😂

[@vadmal5210]

Fantastic editing again! Really funny too, all those effects. The floor.........ai. Try and lay it without tension, specialy on a boat. Difficault job, and i'm sure it will come out just fine. And a seem here or there, well, i think thats realy not that big of a problem. Iff you hit a sidebank with the boat, it will happen anyway. A boat moves, outside but also inside!

Hi again Chris & Becks. Dave and Diane on tickertyboo. Another hilarious video both. I know you have probably done the floor now. Bit if you drilled a 1 mm hole in the tongue first. Your nails would have gone in a lot better. And would have pulled the floor down much more. If you want advice on anything wood? Message me. I was a boat builder for fifty years. We are out cruising again. Presently moored up between the locks a Braunston. Hope we meet you out there again soon. I wanna buy you both a drink. For keeping us laughing. Love Dave & Diane.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Hi guys, lovely to hear from you again. I hope you are both keeping well? Thank you! Oh wow no I hadn't thought of that. If only I had known! Although I got into quite a good rhythm with the nails only the odd tricky one. Chris bless him wasn't quite so lucky! 😂 He's an excellent glue dispenser though!!! Oh wow thank you so much, that's such a kind offer and I'm sure il have lots of questions to come in the future! Oh wow, that sounds great. I hope you're having a lovely time out there. Yes definitely, it would be lovely to catch you guys for a drink some time! Haha! Glad to share the laughs! Take care guys! Lots of love Becks and Chris xx

Hi Becca and Chris another job well done. Project kitchen coming on well.I loved the quick cook fest,ha,ha. Wow if all cafes could serve grub up that quick and hot I'd be amazed The cafe near me specializes in volcano beans,aka cold on the top with crust and red hot underneath,ha,ha!! Yeah I use a sleeping bag too in my mobile home it works a treat for the cold spells usually have a duvet on top when its get silly cold too

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Yeah it was ace wasn't it!! As we all know Chris loves throwing stuff around so it makes for good scenes! Ahh that would be good wouldn't it! Wow volcano beans!! Sounds like magic!!! Yeah sleeping bags are the best! Thanks Dave 😊

[@ambientdave]

@@TheNomadicCrobot yeah those beans were nasty,trust me! Ha,ha ,hence the nickname.

[@floatybyboaty]

Another great Vlog. 😂 Another observation, as you are gluing the boards down, you only need a small pin as a secondary fixing. The nails you are using are way too long for the job in hand. Make it easy for yourselves, especially when nailing old ply board flooring. Best of luck, you certainly are an inspiration to loads of people out here. Have you got “Buy me a coffee” attached to your Vlog?

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Aww thank you! Yeah we had two different packets of nails, some that seemed a little too short and the others were too long!! They didn't have an in-between size at b&q! We eventually managed to get the short ones working well though like you say just as a secondary fix. Aww thanks so much. We live and learn and just try to stay positive with it! We don't as of yet but thank you for thinking of us 🥰

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Becca is a carpenter at heart, she's also a perfectionist bless her, thanks Garyl

[@adrianbowen314]

If you keep the dust form sanding the floors you can mix it with PVA or resin and use it to fill any gaps, it will also take any stain you may use. Also agree with what others have said and drill a pilot hole B4 nailing.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Oh wow, great tip thank you. I shall do that. Also I now know about the pre drilling which may well help me in the future with the rest of the flooring. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@adrianbowen314]

@@TheNomadicCrobot I would also be tempted not to fix the boards to the subfloor, and just leave it as a "floating" floor, glue and clamp the boards together, gluing all along the tongue and groove, and clamp using the flooring straps you already have. If you glue properly, and ensure you have enough overlap of the boards, It will never move. However I have never fitted a floor in a boat but lots in houses, so someone may advise against this.

[@grahamwright8440]

Have you allowed an expansion gap where the floor abuts the units? the usual practice is to a thin strip of cork along all of the edges.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Fortunately I have. I just hope I have left enough! Thanks for the tip though, I didn't know about the cork thing ☺️

[@1Polglen]

You are doing well. I wonder if all old files have a bend at the pointy end? My dad's ones do.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Thank you! Yeah I wondered about the bendy bit too! Perhaps it serves some kind of purpose!

[@trottiscliffe]

There is a better solution to nailing tongue and groove, using screws. Thinnish screws and making sure they are pushed home not to stop the tongue and groove from connecting. Also, if you get a wonky board, get a piece of wood at right angles and whack it with a hammer rubber of metal. This normally does the job. Nail guns are ideal for flooring as well but expensive. Edit. Tongue and groove is notorious for not quite fitting together, and there is a device pro's use that also gets around the problem.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Oh wow! If only we had known. I just went with nails as that's how they had originally been secured down and it seemed to make sense! Thanks for all your useful thoughts. Glad it's not just us!!

[@trottiscliffe]

If you image doing this in a room and you get to the last board but one before a wall, you need to shoe horn/force the tongues home into the groove, very common issue. There is a simple mechanical device that let's you do this, otherwise you'd get a wonky floor. Hope that makes sense.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Oh right yeah that makes perfect sense! Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Floor's starting to look good. Typically that sort of floor would be fixed to itself, eg you could just glue the edges to each other, leave the whole thing floating over the substrate. That way you should avoid problems with expansion and contraction of the different materials. I wonder if the nailing throws things out a bit.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Thanks for this. I just hope over time we don't encounter problems... I chose to do it this way simply because when we lifted this floor the first time, that was how it had been secured so I presumed it was the correct way to do it. I have left space for expansion around the edges so with any luck it will be ok 🤞

Before I knew it I was LMFAOing at your AMAZING Halloween special and hit the SUBSCRIBE..oh so fast! You guys are totally rocking it.

Your making your own disasters. Firstly you should only be using pins to tack the boards to stop movement not whacking long nails. The result is simply that the nails will bend. PS you are nailing in the right places, well done.

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Ahh ok thanks Raymond. I opted for nails simply because that's how these boards had been originally secured down so I presumed that was the correct thing to do. In fairness after the first few bodgey nails we got on ok with them! Phew!
