It’s time for a Fresh Start! | Step 417

[@ghost307]

The project phase you are in is generally referred to as "90% done...90% to go".

[@MonikaMatis]

indeed :)

[@teddysdadcory]

New t-shirt idea!!

[@rogerstone3068]

Yay! ANOTHER brilliant idea. At 2:27 YOU put ear protectors on and OUR sound gets muffled. Who thought that one up? We are so with you already, this is... very sweet icing on the cake. Well done.

[@guretsugu]

A little random, but I'm so happy to see you both modeling safety and wearing respirators while doing this work. I feel like so many DIY videos on youtube don't respect the danger of working with some of these materials that could mess up your long-term health.

[@truenorth90]

I've felt exhausted just watching you both do all the glass work and I feel personally relieved that the paint is going on, I can't imagine how good it must feels to see Uma in white again!!

[@IAmTheEnergyChannel]

YaY!!! I just got so excited seeing the thumbnail! You have primer!!! That's so awesome!

[@tototere]

Somehow the enormity of this project becomes clearer. Hats off to you both as designers, project planners, teachers and craftsmen.

[@haraldhannelius]

I have a sailboat built 1982. I have been sailing it since -99. We had kids, they have moved out now. We still have the same boat. I so understand this project.

[@justsomeguy6474]

Uma is looking Umazing. I'll see myself out.

[@SailingUma]

😂😁

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you kids! One step closer to being on the water again. Be well. ❤

[@RonnFolk]

With the problems other KZbinrs are having with there expensive custom boats, you guys are will have a better boat.

[@mr.shenanigans597]

lol at the blurred feet. Its not something I am into but I understand why you guys did it. The fact its only in the time lapse is even funnier.

[@tonybarnes3858]

explain?

'This is not the end of the Uma refit. It is not even the beginning of the end. It is however the end of the beginning.' 😉 Well done, and many congratulations!

[@JulieAndrews-d9u]

We have been watching your journeys for a long time and are so very excited for you both to have finally reached the stage in your project where you are putting things back together. We look forward to the rebuild - from the east coast of Australia

[@atlas4225]

So I had to Google... "don't buy a couch" You guys are awesome! It was nearly a decade ago and Dan... you were a bit of a dork, love from NJ. I think you two are good people and I wish you the best. I was trained as a landscape architect and have gone another path as-well. BTW, one of you shirts will be on my 24' Christmas list. Hope all is well

[@ricktaylor14001]

In my younger days I loved sanding & finishing and getting that coat of paint on… SO satisfying to see the results! But as I’ve done it a gazzilion times over the many many years…. YA, you couldn’t pay me enough to do that sanding, cleaning, taping, painting and cleaning again! Ugh I HATE doing it now. But I LOVED seeing this and your excitement!! Can’t wait for her drop back in the water‼️🤠👍🏼☮️☮️

[@echothegoodwolf]

What a big step! She’s starting to look like she will be a home again one day!

[@mpetrino7330]

Dan, Kiki hi from Calgary. Once again you just blow me away with your planning and work ethic, rare commodity these days. The interior looks damn fantastic huge progress. Taking a trip north for a week or so is well earned. Shoutout to the paint materials/technical advise supplier awesome support to Uma and her owners. See you two next time, thanks.

[@Krieghandt]

battleship grey enamel paint, the choice for decades.😎 White makes a great palette, so I can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@catherineb6561]

WooHoo..congrats on finishing the first stage of the "rebuild". Best of luck on the next phase.

[@alanmcinnes1111]

Congratulations, Kika and Dan! You’ve reached a major milestone in your progress towards resurrecting Uma. It will be interesting going forward to see how you outfit Uma to be an amazing world cruiser. Thank you for bringing us along on your amazing journey.

[@haraldhannelius]

Hats of to Akzo Nobel. Appreciated

[@kunoknollenbuddler2167]

It feels so good to see you both so happy, and it's absolutely wonderful to see Uma all dressed up

[@ThomasCurran-wj9nx]

What an amazing feeling of a job well done when all white and a phase completed!!!

[@GreenWitch1]

I’m so thrilled for you guys! A little tear cane to my eye 🥲 You guys are a real inspiration. You work hard & seamlessly together ❤ I painted the interior of my Airstream white and it looks much bigger & cleaner. I have a very colorful palette, so there’s lots of color also.

[@tadmorrison]

If all of KZbin was just to hear Kika laugh with delight, it was worth it

[@LifeBetweenTheDash]

I love Kika's laugh. The best accomplished feeling.

[@gregmason2208]

So all your hard work and worries have paid off. The boat is looking immaculate. Well done.

[@tnthammond]

Love this. Have watch every episode but this one brought a tear. Amazing

[@georgelasko7019]

Looking GREAT guys! You have taken your time and did it RIGHT!! Now you can start realizing the fruits of your labor!! Kudos 🤗💕

[@CaptainKseadog1]

Kiki & Dan, You Guys are Rockin it. Almost half way complete. Cheers!

[@SVSomeday]

Something so satisfying about the cleaning step

[@davidabbett7011]

We have ALL been waiting for this stage. CONGRATULATIONS

[@davidperham897]

It’s certainly enjoyable to watch you Two always smiling and laughing together She’s coming along great, I’m sure you are happy with the results 🇨🇦 Cdn. Dave 🇨🇦

[@allenwinston5157]

I actually got butterflies watching this episode. I'm so excited for you guys! Uma looks so good!

[@catherinespeers8440]

It must be so exciting to actually see the progress now. You two have worked your bums off. Congratulations on reaching the next step.

[@jeanmariemontigny9688]

The primer looks amazing Kika the first coat job !!!...❤

[@rmccarthy175]

Dan you were correct when you said Stage Left. 😊 Stage Left and Right are from the Perspective of the Performer when facing the Audience. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@BobFirth]

What an accomplished. Looking forward to the next phase. Uma is looking great. I’m also so glad you use all precautions with the respirators and such.

[@rvwall-e]

So, you’ve framed and sheet rocked the walls. Now comes utilities, furniture, etc., and the entire outside. Still a lot to do, but each step now seems a step more “update” than repair and restore. It looks wonderful and I hope all goes forward smoothly. ❤❤

[@francesconicoletti2547]

They have however already installed the frames of most of the furniture

[@TerminusVox]

Yes, that would be "stage left". And "house right"

[@cherylsibson2529]

Uma looks great! Looking forward to more painting!

[@Sailing-Alpha]

I love this channel ❤️ Big fan from denmark

[@RiverWoods111]

Congrats, you have now leveled up to the new White Level. Your rewards are a shopping trip in the Mets (hope I got that right), and bringing back all kinds of new surprises to install on your boat to make it actually a functioning boat! This is so exciting. Wish I could post a cool animated leveling-up motion graphic that I designed, but alas I cannot post it here.

[@LostYogi]

I've been looking forward to this video, and it did not disappoint 🙂Uma looks beautiful!

[@dennisnevin1893]

You both have an amazing focus and get it done attitude. I am looking forward to the finished product as I am sure both of you are as well. Keep up the good work.

[@Bob32328]

Early! Haven’t watched you guys in so long and boy am I happy to be back! I use to watch you guys every day 😃

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

The timelapse stuff is so fun.

[@randys1889]

Brilliant video and amazing progress ❤ Cheers from Southern California USA 🇺🇸

[@electricboatal]

Great job. I know that feeling of getting to that spot. Keep moving forward and before you know it you will be moving your stuff back aboard. I have done this several times and I know the joy of completion. It won’t be too long now. The outside progresses quicker because the areas are smooth and have fewer disruptions. Congratulations and good luck, best regards Your Pal Al

[@BellaTrix0707]

Hopefully you remembered to paint behind the A/C :) Great episode, Uma looks incredible!

[@benshore7357]

Looking good 🎉 I had some high end automotive paint and before painting they recommended just a wash with dish soap before paint. Acetone is only good to wipe raw fiberglass. If the surface is painted the acetone would smear the paint. So not a good surface. The paint company also said to use minimal reducer but later found out they say that to make it California compliant. So you need to use more reducer for good results.🎉

[@sanchezshots]

You guys are increasing the value of the boat 50% or more, will be hard to find a another boat like yours.

[@moralesjjvideo]

I am still baffled by the amount that I enjoy your updates. I don't have a boat, don't sail (well, I windusrf obsessively, but different). Keep it up - so amazing.

[@davidbarnett4246]

Yes kika wow, the paint job looks amazing

[@allenclark1914]

Congratulations,,, it is exciting to hear and see Kika so very excited about this phase .

[@Chyrre]

You actually white boxed Uma! ;-)

[@ThomasCurran-wj9nx]

The interior looks so clean, crisp with great edges/angles Like the build Before the 1st paint!

[@robertfontaine3650]

fairing and sanding and fairing and sanding and fairing and sanding for the next 2 months will suck but the results will feel good.

[@hollyyoung2850]

Thank you for this video on a Friday evening in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I have been looking forward to the painting phase of beautiful Uma! (not as much as you I’m sure) Look how far you’ve come! Enjoy the break and shopping, you both deserve it so much x

[@NewSkiwi]

Looking good, Team. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@bordaymoo9228]

I have been watching a long time, you folks are on a mission and killing it. Keep up the good work.

[@soundslikebstome]

Awesome job...be sailing the 7 seas soon! Those feet are pristine!

[@MonikaMatis]

Kika, it's not the fumes! I have already lived in my new boat - when she had only hull sides on! Had to move on since the weather is not really compatible with living in an open-top space (it is getting down to 5 degrees C here during the night!) but i'm closing hulls with decks now and when I come back in December to laminate I'll be looking forward to painting my main cabins and moving IN! Finally, after 4 years of hard work :) I've been painting some spaces already as I''m a little bit bigger than you and trying to get into some lockers with a roller and a tray of epoxy primer would be a recipe for disaster. But main spaces are waiting for a bit more of a finish before paint job I have enjoyed this part greatly - as I'm thinking along the same lines as you: brush/roller/spray? In my case spray wins so far as i'm using thicker paints than you (so larger tips for spray gun and thicker coat on one pass) - and having a wooden construction I have far too many nooks and crannies to bother with brush or roller! But still it was good to see your thinking process behind these choices and confirm mine all the same! Dan, thanks for your little test piece! Enjoy - now you are starting the fun part of your work. Cannot wait to be there as well! ps Have you managed NOT to paint your socks? (that was brave choice - but I guess it is better to paint your socks than shoes!)

[@jeffwood8109]

Uma the Green...looks like she got into a fight with a Balrog .. ...I'll show myself out 😅 Looks good guys.

[@JM-cm6yf]

I get so happy when you both post❤

[@canvashomesusa8729]

... awesome surprise!! First coats, soon you will have her faired and shiney! Your spaces are firming up, it looks very functional. from the beams to primer... what a leap. I liked your comment, "most people don't realize what one of these entry boats cost new" paraphased

[@RenegadeADV]

Before you all go too nuts painting don't forget to pre-drill holes for your wiring chaseways. Future you will be glad you did! Boat is looking great, looking forward to more O-Glorious-Sanding!

[@gustavcarl1334]

It is cool you guys are in the same time zone as me here in Sweden

[@irenezsak-fulleringer6996]

Wow!!! You have done an amazing job.

[@dennispunches9622]

Outstanding job. I hope your parents are so proud of you.

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, thanks for answering the question about the light coming through the hull and other spots I had been curious about that. When you were going through the paint I became curious as to how much weight it will add to build. It seems to me to be heavy on the shelves but what do I know 🤓.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, you were focused on the another channel when you’re talking about twin twin rudders and mention your boat is 50 years old or around there and you’ve got no idea about twin runners on the widebody yachts anyway, just interesting to see how people react. Keep up the good work guys from Australia

[@Notdave29]

Wave Rover had a bulkhead with 100 of his Patreons names. Looked pretty cool. You have a lot more followers, and lots more space to write them. lol going to be a lot of work.

[@DoubleWW]

WHOOO ITS HAPPENING!! So damn motivating seeing progress in this HUGE project, really puts things in perspective for me. PS. Oh, and GJ editing videos on top of boat work from cant see in the morning to cant see in the night. Very Impressive

[@colleenbalch328]

Many folks who are rebuilding/refitting boats add a dark (black or other very dark color) paint over the sections of the hull/deck that are transmitting a lot of light. White and light colors don't always do the whole job.

[@andyzaft8827]

Big step, nicely done.

[@dianacirilo]

I’m cheering for you 🎉🎉🎉

That was a very long explanation for: "Light shines through Glass, Fiber Glass." :)

[@SailingUma]

You’d be surprised how many questions we get about it.

[@JasonCampbell-m2o]

You should print out stickers of the patrons names and make a collage of them in the pilot berth.

[@TheJohnnycash75]

Congrats mr. Patches and miss Resin 😊❤

[@christopherstirling8539]

Well done, well done.

[@MedievalMary]

Nothing wrong with millennial gray. ❤ We gave the color gray a new life.

[@ericmartin5720]

Wow! You guys should do a shout out to the good folks at the Ship Happens channel, they are doing a similar quest as you guys.

[@jorgenadam]

I assume you cover up or paint over the areas where you grind away paint or gelcoat on the outside, so that it does not degrade in the sun. I definitely heard you talk about it before when you did the pedestal.

[@glennsibbitt6729]

Congrats you two... you're doin' a superb job! Keep going !!

[@bjearl8624]

Great episode. Congrats. Posting to help the word spread! Let's go!

[@judithcatlett8518]

Provide the patron names to Staples or someplace similar and have them put the names on that clear cellophane (not sure of type “paper”). Then you can peal and stick or something like.

[@geekazoid]

This is exciting!!

[@paulspiers5466]

Good to see you moving forward with the refit, keep up the great work. Will you be insulating any of the interior with spray on cork? Can that be applied to the primer?

[@keithgm4jkz871]

Well - what a transformation ... enjoy the trade fair ...... :)
