😂 “I got a bit carried away” I think that’s my life motto 😂 You did Fabulous Emily

[@pattysommers3566]

Excellent job Emily. I’m so jealous of people that are so crafty.

[@janstevens8120]

Well done Emily! Never underestimate the power of a woman! 👍🏻😉 Love the idea of the corked wall, it looks fab & also provides some insulation. That little wood burning stove is so awesome! You could even use the box it came in. Stain the wood, then put a cushion on top…..voila…. You now have extra seating with storage! Hope your 3 gigs go well for you Ben 🎸🎶🪕🎼 Can’t wait til next weekend to see what you two & Alan 🐈‍⬛ have been up to. Take care & have a great week! 💕🇨🇦🍁

[@JonAl1966]

Emily you are a legend. Bed builder extraordinaire. So talented

[@SchuckTales]

A 33 minute Ben and Emily video? Could this day get any better?

[@kahnzilla]

that would require an extra 10 minutes of just the Allan cam i think

[@SchuckTales]

@@kahnzilla you are absolutely correct.

[@simonbiggs9102]

My weekend has been made. How can it get any better than watching my favourite couple

[@deliagiven5399]

😂😂

[@genenomidic1393]

Was half expecting to find the Arc of the Covenant inside that crate xx

[@MotownJT]

Seriously, you two can have your own fixer upper narrowboat channel. It’s obvious that you both are handy with tools.

[@johnmccrae1102]

Well again ,I just love what you two get up to! No nine to fives and oh so entertaining.

[@guardianoftheoldway]

Benny, The hole on top of the stove is to have direct flame onto your pan or kettle, remove to cook then replace afterwards :)

[@dianetanski464]

Wow! I am so impressed by you both. Taking a blank canvas and making into a multipurpose 21:23 place and then building a bed on your own (with some help from Benny). Good on you!

[@Jemma.and.Ganymede]

Inspirational is what you are Miss Emily! Totally massive Girl power! I’m glad that Alan checked over your handiwork! Benny, what super cute burner! Can’t wait to see how it will look in Rambler!

[@maxiemills6982]

Great work Emily...and Bennie too. Thanks for sharing you projects.

[@davidsheriff8989]

Great experience you are having Being independent is a vital necessity.. Hats off to you, stay safe.

[@user-zi7cu7vc6o]

Well done you’re doing so well Emily xx

[@richardkaberry8790]

Alan is so chilled. I want to be like Alan. X

[@barbaramacdonald5049]

I enjoy your programmes, amazed how clever you both are with your DIY. Keep the programmes coming.

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Well done Emily on bed build. Like the Cork idea. Love the tiny wood burner. Consider building a platform maybe a foot high,tile it then put stove on top, that way the heat won't just be going just to your feet. You also could use the underside to store mini logs. The same would look lovely in the bedroom. Every week I look forward to seeing your new boat build.💚

[@markbeks2019]

Ahhh Emily - you did a great job. You should be really proud of yourself 💗

[@timothyqtully807]

Good job, Emily. Your new bed looks really nice. Ps. Your smile is sunshine for my soul. See you next week.

[@nancyrolfe3033]

What kind and gentle souls… Loved it when Benny responds with “You always impress me “ … Honestly, coming from someone much older, that’s all that matters…..what you each feel about the other! We don’t really count with our opinions in the overall scheme of things. I, for one, just enjoy watching as id never heard of a narrow boat OR that people traveled/lived on these canals… Truly, I had no idea how many there are in Great Britain and Europe until your video popped up last year. I’m hooked now ❤ You did FANTASTIC job, Emily! I’m always so amazed and proud of you both….for your skills, adaptability and talents! It’s your gentle spirits that have me hooked….. I’m not sure why I felt need to comment when watching this time???? But…I did. Yes. I do watch the videos more than once if I need to be uplifted during a difficult time. Thank you. You never fail to leave me feeling so much better than before….no better thing can be given, my friends, than this… You make a difference and there’s always a “ripple effect “…. Blessings from the west Texas desert, Nancy

[@gerrywalsh5766]

OMG...that is a right beautiful little stove. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside just looking at it. Lol

[@nnelgish]

You two are the cutest couple on the cut!

[@samwright8599]

I always try to leave your vids alone, at least till Sunday.. I fail every time. The Burner is too cute! Bed looks so good❤❤

[@Westexec]

Me too. Look forward so much to each episode. I think your cheerful attitude to life is so appealing. I am watching here and cheering you both on as I see your vision unfold. Emily, you have done great and so brave to tackle this project. Fab job. Well done and well done to you too Benny with the conversion of Rambler. It’s coming on so well. Have a fab week.

[@markd3250]

This was like a Christmas video! New bed frame, new mini stove, new solar panels! Even a piece of candy for Benny lol. I am also super impressed with carpenter Emily, just wading into the project and getting it done. Good stuff guys!

[@normanmerrill1241]

Well done…nothing better than spontaneous renovation…you just have to do it…stay safe..

[@JohnGlenwright-lb2zy]

Hay that crk was a good idea and was surprised how well it stuck to the wall excellent job

[@Misunderstoodboygenius]

Emily has an amazing collection of trousers!

[@jpaulrice]

You guys are so clever. Emily, that was a great , project really great. I can't even make a wood box that is anywhere near square. Between the two of you is there anything that can't be built, made, wired up, glued together, etc. etc.. And Hi from Florida

[@ratroddiesels1981]

thats a strong well made new bed . that stove is also well made and will be perfect for the winter. cheers.

[@paulyoung6165]

Hi There Ben Emily and Alan , What a Great job you have done , your Bed looks Really Good , you have so many Talents Emily , And plenty of room for Alan too, well done , Keep up the Great work , so Thank you for sharing , Take care All , X X 🛏, 👍👍

[@helenbarron47]

Benny love your new hairstyle, it really suits you. Helen 😀& Barney 🐕‍🦺

[@elspethwilkes3106]

I loved that benny said , you always impress me to Emily ♥️ lovely 🥰

[@1950PeeJay]

Well done to you both. You are so talented, and it must be so satisfying to be able to say I/we did that. ❤

[@wayneharris7534]

Nice one . Emily. I take my hat off to you .. there are not many who would attempt to make a bed.i am glad that you are all well and safe..

[@mommahil4323]

Good job Emily! And Benny too of course

[@BoatTime]

That’s actually so impressive that you build a bed from scratch 😂 once you get the DIY bug, that’s it! Well done 👏🏻

[@shogun666able]

Nothing wrong with your woodwork Emily, how cosy is that going to be with a small log burner on the wall and off the floor with wood storage underneath it so you can watch the flames when laying in bed on a winters night. Pull out box drawers with casters on the back end and you will get a ton of stuff underneath, Well done you..

[@seangrant1875]

Just been watching your video on bed building & as a builder for 35 years, all I can say is that you are doing a great job, REALLY impressed, keep it up Emily! , p.s. Ben is doing a fantastic job on the other boat , cracking shows, well done! , Sean.

[@willburgess2514]

Using finger holes for the bed slide out handles would allow the same holes to slide over dowels in the strips on the boat side.

[@Nofear25]

I feel like am watching 2 KZbin channels in one it’s absolutely amazing guys ❤

[@wendymitchell7969]

Hello My husband would really love to take a trip on a narrowboat, he's spoken about it many, many times. Recently I relented and watched some vlogs about it, and am now I look forward to your upcoming vlogs. I am still working my way through all your previous ones which is keeping me busy. I didn't expect to love watching as much as I do. Also I have found and followed Benny on Spotify. (My hubby is a musician too, he just hasn't played in an awfully long time. We are going to be visiting our children and grandchildren in the UK this December, and hubby is wanting to look into all things Narrowboat when we are there. He's quite excited. Hope you have a super day, Wendy

[@willburgess2514]

Cork is an excellent insulation, maleable, easy to cut and form.

[@adrianr40]

Great job on the bed! Well done Emily, impressed with your skills!

[@catherineclark2949]

What a lovely bed well done Emily. The solar panels are a good idea on the Rambler. Love the little stove and the crate it came in

[@cindytennessee]

Right smart Emily! You’ve got two carpenters on your boat. I love what you’ve done! Great vlog you two! 😊❤

[@chrisflint7317spiderandson]

I am so proud of you Emily well done

[@RustyManisduckman]

Congratulations on the new builds, too the both of you!

[@Red-Robin4]

[@lynmoore8355]

[@bradleybolton3843]

You guys are smashing it. The bed looks so good and the little boat is coming on so well. You both should be so proud. Well done!

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@dawnsmith842]

Emily looks great and that little stove so cute haha you getting so excited over the shovel lol made me 😅 not sure that thick mattress will bend but your have a little tunnal for alan to get though sure benny will join her lol. you should be very proud of yourself

[@newlifecomingsoon]

Both boats really getting a makeover! Well done the both of you 👏 You must be super pleased!

[@jewelrussell8288]

Hi Emily, so glad you did take the bed out. That mould was nasty. Alan, you are soooo cute

[@jessetadlock4818]

I love the bed!! You did and awesome build Emily and Ben a little too!!! LOL

[@annjarvis9300]

Awww Emily you are a star built that bed hands down well done good luck to you both luv the oldies 🌟🌟🌟👍🤗👍🤗

[@captain.eddy333]

Hey Ben, if you're planning to use your new boat as a studio, you may consider applying some sound deadening material on the sides to improve the sound qualities of your records.

[@tessapetters3936]

How exciting, its like christmas. Love the little stove. You are both so handy and the bed is great .

[@ethelmini]

Tumblehome is what Rambler needs, ask a canoeist. Though, I'd imagine, you could usually touch the bottom of a canal for adding stability, or fasten both your boats together. Sometimes it can be easier & cheaper to modify a manufactured product than build from scratch - bed slats from Ikea or similar. They could "concertina" up for the daytime position. Cut a hand hole for a handle, you'll be able to use it from both sides. I don't think your pull out will need locking out, but you could do that on the bed side just as effectively as to the wall. Looks as though it might be a bit long/high, but if the extension folded up it could be handy for retaining the mattress. You could always make it double fold.

[@denisefreeman2123]

Thank you for letting us enjoy your home leveling up! You will be much more comfortable this coming winter❣️

[@dingnextstop]

Wow… you two don’t stop! Well done Emily on your diy skills..👏🏻👏🏻 and I love the little stove on Benny’s boat, can’t wait to see it lit and puffing smoke😊

[@user-cl2ds8ul9q]

Omg that little fire is so cute ❤

[@jeffmohney2274]

Both boats are coming along rather well. Comfy, cozy and warm if you get the second tiny stove. May travel mercies follow your caravan.

[@janetrobson9469]

OMG that so dinky cute stove...Emily your so clever bedroom is going to look fab... Alan will be climbing up the cork walls 😂.. She seems to like it.. Looking forwards to the next video take care guys love you 🙏

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks so much 😊 😻

[@bindatek8801]

Proper job - Sweet Dreams both of you! John

[@Bicyclehub]

The bed is fab! It’s a brand new design!

[@GrahamHazlehurst]

Brilliant, Emily well done on the bed build.

[@xabeque8]

Ballast is important for the small boat if most of the weight you are now adding is above the waterline. Being top heavy can be dangerous. If the boat sits more in the water it will be more stable and will be less inclined to lean when you put weight on the port or starboard side. Charles

[@MrStingraybernard]

My favorite video so far

[@jaseinclee]

Great work going on in both boats

[@orionbirch2705]

In the USA we recently have plywood called Advantech plywood. It's supposed the be revolutionizing floor construction. I think it's highly water resistant and other new features. Might be useful if you make sud frame repairs in the future.

[@jeecreative]

I've been really loving your channel and made my first steps towards buying a boat. You've been a big part in that. BTW...Benny, the track 'It is ours' is truly beautiful.

[@batesy4760]

The to off you are very talented and a great job on the bed

[@lyndaodell3619]

Well done Emily love all the new badly needed storage.Your boat home is so cosy I am retired now and I have time to watch videos when I am not crafting.Ben and yourself are a joy to watch keep them coming.x

[@mishkawp8200]

Brilliant job with the bed. Well done Emily!

[@crispyfrogs]

Very impressive. Well done 😃

[@MuddyHuddy259]

I’m thoroughly impressed with you both!

[@Jacqueline-es5yb]

You are both so clever. Love the cork!

[@scottlomas5509]

Cheers guys 😊

[@sparsh415]

If Rambler gets too wobbly in the High winds of Winter then you could always use containerd liquid( 1 litre= 1kg) as a temporary ballast. I believe Home Brew has a very high liquid density, especially when taken internally. 🙂

[@BenandEmily]

🤣

[@sparsh415]

😂@@BenandEmily

[@goleafsgo8496]

You're both becoming "Master Renovators" wuen it comes to these boat projects! Well done you two lookin marvelous. 😊

[@yureituesday]

What a great little stove

[@annecooke6767]

Emily, you are awesome!

[@martinworrall5888]

Haha,get a project boat and then rip your bedroom out brilliant idea Emile, well done 👍 ❤❤

[@veronicabalfourpaul2288]

well done with the bed! I used cork on my van. It's great, as long as it's glued well, which it looks like you managed to do. And the wee stove! Maybe those compressed wood chip brickettes will work well in it. stay cosy.

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Well done both of you. Loved the little wood stove. Bed looking very good too. Best wishes to you all (including Alan). Take care.

[@A-Nobody]

I see a brand new sailaway fitout in Ben & Emily’s future.

[@justmeEnglandUK]

I've bought a tiny narrowboat wood burning stove off a narrow boat ended up carrying it down a muddy tow path in the dark about 1/4 of a mile. it's now in my house bedroom a few lumps of coal over night really nice and warm even when the wind is blowing down from the moor . It seems to be a favourite home for wasps to over winter . Light it quick and shut the door .

[@orionbirch2705]

Ben, my grandmother cooked on a wood cook stove with big oven. The removable cast iron plates on the little new wood burner are good for cooking, much less fire is needed when placing a cast iron skillet over the hole so it seals it mostly. Open windows when doing that, and have a CO detector.

[@orionbirch2705]

The antique stove was in the family vacation cabin.

[@sallysmith155]

I always look forward to your Vlog.Wow Benny and Emily you both are very skilled. Benny your boat is looking good.And Emily you have done a fantastic job with the bed.Alan she is so cute.Have a week all three of you.😺🎃🎃

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sianwarwick633]

Lock-hopping ? Ripping out mouldy floorboards ? Yes and yes. Love it ❤😊. New stove heater ? I know which heater you mentioned, the diesel one. Yeah, cork is good idea

[@debrandw246]

Oh wow Benny. I love your stove. Hope you keep the box also. Its so amazing. Super solar panels. Love your new bedroom. Well done Emily. Beautiful job. So proud of you both. Incredible building skills.

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@knollyDT]

“Me, Benny and the Crow Bar” sounds like a great name for a band 😆

[@BenandEmily]

I'ts our side project 😜

[@seangrant1875]

Keep up your amazing videos, we look forward to seeing them every week , oh & love to Alan 👍.

[@annhamilton2060]

Wonderful job. You could intersect the planks to slide out. It’s hard to explain but ikea day bed has similar design. ❤

[@kevinmartin3859]

A big well done to both of you 😊😊😊

[@mariebuchanan4183]

I like how cooperative and kind you are with each other and how you take adverse situations in your stride without over-reacting and making a big drama about everything. Keep up the awesomeness.

[@deborahwilson6277]

Well done Emily - so impressed with your carpentry skills - You made a super bed frame !! Also well done to Benny on all you've done inside and outside of Rambler !! I also love Alan's new super cosy bed- looks very warm and comfy.

[@elaineheslip3647]

I see the clerk of works turned up to check on your work Emily.....bless her she should have her own channel.......😂😂😂😂😂........brilliant as always......Martin.....
