You seem to think no one wants to see or hear from you. You could not be more mistaken. Your videos are informative, inspiring, and very enjoyable to watch. And your voice (believe it or not) is one which I could listen to all day. Keep doing what you're doing, and please come back more often. Thanks.

Waiting for a long time

[@harryp271]

Please continue with the videos enjoy them immensely

[@Igeltod]

i'm really glad to see that you are mindful of plastic pollution!

[@averagejoe5050]

Don't worry about some of the monotonous tasks...I'm sure that many of the viewers are happy to watch the time lapse of the process. The boat is really starting to look finished. Keep up the good work! Keep going! You will have something to be proud of in the end!

[@petermastenbroek7719]

Thanks for taking us all the way to Formosa with you, these fishing-vessels with all the pipes underneath look pretty smart. They must be quick-and surely quite cheap to built, I wonder why we don't see solutions like this in Europe, as it seems a smart idea. I admired your work on your first boat, that is starting to look very good too, but to keep your growing fleet in good nick, you'll need a lot of time and money for all the work they need, and for their maintenance. Best of luck with that task, Peter.

[@timcorso6337]

We don't see the tube boats in Europe, because we have health and safety😁

[@XTJ7]

@@timcorso6337 You see plenty of rib boats in Europe and they are just another variation of tube boats.

Turning into real life water world! Great job, youve come a long way!

[@charleshutchings9355]

Your work in the galley is quite pleasing. Thank you for the tour of Formosa. I would never have known about it. Very informative in a short time. I also enjoy your channel.

[@Max_parallax]

love the fleet and how your willing to give anything a try. its inspiring. keep it up man :)

[@MikeAnderson-oh9po]

I lived in Shih Lin, just north of Taipei, 1980-84. What a beautiful country and nice people.

[@trentgay3437]

I've been to Formosa. It's beautiful and fun, and the food is good. Hot springs:) mmmmm, I really loved it. 15 days wasn't enough.

[@paulhoneyman6923]

Great to see you again. Awesome job in the galley and loved the Formosa visit. Truly looks like a beautiful region. Keep up the good work my friend and take care

[@BobMuk08]

the Formosa segment was a worthwhile interlude.

[@dolphcrane6420]

In the winter some ventilation will reduce or eliminate the interior ice that melts. Just covering it will not. We sealed a porch up so tight this happened, when we let some air flow in it stopped.

[@quentint8742]

I love how far you’ve come with the build. When you said that you were getting a little bored, I imagined you buying yet another boat to add to your flotilla. I am amazed and inspired by your skillset

[@judybonner8682]

I just found your channel and I love it. I really enjoyed seeing Formosa. I learned something about the beautiful island. Thank you, the photography is awesome!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@deanfortier9512]

Been watching for about over a year and I just love the vibe of your videos, from the music, the narration, and the content! So much fun to watch the process!

[@stephencawood7671]

I love watching, listening, and learning with you. I have been enjoying your content from the beginning of your channel, so keep up the good work take care, Already looking forward to your next video. p.s Taiwan is a stunning country

[@Garci96b]

It was cool seeing your trip to Taiwan!

[@石銘宏]

Don't worry ,We call it is TAIWAN , Even we get most China's threat of force pressure , We even do'nt worriy about it . The micro chip and semiconductor industry is not the only one proud of us , We also have the most human nature ,Natural environment and special species. This time , your most stay in Keelung ,Taipei , Yi-lan ,and some most famous place in Taiwan, Next we would like you step on Miao-Li ,Tai-chung ,Chang-hwa to feeling more different of Taiwan. Thank you so much for appreicat it .Hope you can intruduce more Taiwan to all your friend and world , Welcome to Taiwan.

[@geoffcharlton2711]

you said you were getting bored I'm like so many of your watchers never get bored i think we want more love what you do with your many boats.

[@normanboyes4983]

Love your videos and never ever get bored at any point in any of them. I like the finish you achieved on the galley deck head but hope you do not regret fitting a vapour barrier before fitting the plastic panels.😉

[@ca3rice]

Very smooth segue to the VPN pitch. One of the best.

[@stevensnow4112]

I like your new ceiling and the that it may not add as much weight as wood. Great job.

[@davidbeem184]

The trash collection is a very efficient idea

[@leecogdell652]

I really really enjoy your videos tremendously and I love watching you working on your boats and you always do a great job and the attention to details makes it really special and you especially did a great job with the ceiling and walls and my only complaint is please put out more and more videos as I’m in Tennessee and I’m landlocked so I get my boating fix from you, so take care and keep the videos coming! Lee from Tennessee!

[@kenknight4560]

If you have a metal building with a warm inside and freezing exterior you will get ice inside and dripping when it melts. Unless you insulate and add a vapor barrier keeping heat in and cold out it will still freeze and drip. I cannot see how putting up those boards on the ceiling is going to cure the problem in the boat. They look great and in a different climate this might work. Next winter will tell this tail.

[@johnchapman3601]

As someone also married to a Taiwanese lady and have lived in Taiwan for many years, I can only agree 😊

[@bkluex5818]

One of the most important issues when fitting out a boat's interior is the ventilation between the hull and the interior. If you make mistakes here, you always fight against mold and a musty smell. Especially on a steel hull boat. Good luck!

[@Justowner]

are you saying air needs to flow through the interior wall so that it can make sure the hull side has air flow? Or that region needs to be fully sealed to stop humid air getting in?

[@bkluex5818]

@@Justowner You should have a sufficient ventilation of the space between the hull/outer wall and the interior wall. In theory you can seal it completely, but this will never last long, because all materials are more or less permeable. Specially in areas with high humidity and temperature gradients between inside and outside you have to consider the dew point. And on a boat you cannot use thick insulations (larger 15 cm) to keep the dew point in the insulation layer like you do it in a conventional building.

[@ashdmasters]

We used these on our conservatory roof and hid the screws in the grooves for a seamless look.

[@rene-yvescote3954]

I love your work but there must be a way to prevent frost on your ceiling during winter. For me it looks like you have proper insulation the problem might be with ventilation. Good luck.

[@janhytonen]

Lovely and very nice!! Thank you for showing Formosa in this video!

[@richardfenton6855]

Great work, nice to see the update!! The fixing for the PVC panels should be in the tongue of the board then the next board covers up the fixing.

[@rolandtb3]

Great update on your boats. Like the kitchen upgrades.

[@ReynoldsAnthesor]

We like your videos too. I think you have a very nice boat collection. I love this form of trash collection. Everyone is sharing the responsibility.

[@josa9902]

Use the foam sandwich to create the external and internal walls and roof on the barge. The sandwich is light and so strong. Minimum steel framing needed. Just cut the holes for doors and windows. An advantage is everything is insulated..Get your mechanical engineer to do the design.

[@michaeldecker2725]

Just a note, you can cut the material with a sharp utility knife. You can also attach the panel on the tab that is covered by the following panel. Excellent choice of material for the ceiling. The moisture content shown is quite concerning.

[@rubenwijtman2736]

I love watching your videos soo much it gives so much peace while being interesting the whole video

[@laurahaughton4523]

I have just found your channel and I am hooked, you are very interesting to listen to, and your projects are also interesting, not something I’ve seen before, take care

[@Ratty_Rex]

Formosa looks a lively place. As a side note. James Dyson started his fortune by making Tube Boats.... then a wheelbarrow with a ball, not wheels.... then his vacuum company. Tube boats are very durable too.... as each tube is its own watertight compartment.... unlike a hull. 😀

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Crew,, So great to see another episode from you, I have been so looking forward to this one. No matter which boat or vessel you show content from the episodes are informative and interesting, in fact, you have so many boats & barges to work from the content from your channel has become the most interesting YT channel I watch . Thanks for your latest vid , ii have enjoyed EACH & EVERY ONE so far ,never missing a single episode ,, I am already looking forward to your next one.. BRING IT ON. Respect....!

[@FlyingConey]

Hi, I think strengthening the structure of you big boat with some knees in the upper corners of the metal framework wouldn't do any harm. Looking forward to get even more distracted from an update on Hans. All the best from Flying Coney!

@@qno-oj3py I have fife refitting channels where I never miss a video. My First Boat and Canice Bannon are two of them. Great content!

[@jeancouture9732]

Nice work but, I would have used white screws on the ceiling or instal the screws in the tongue so they would be hidden by the groove. I would also add a trim around the hatch openings.

[@CaptLance]

I csan see that you are a very hard worker and you are also very entertaining! Thank you for posting...

Should have spray painted the screw heads white or use plastic screw cover caps to hide the screws

Use a car headlight polishing kit for the windows u can use ur drill like a buffer and save the glass for now.

[@kilomoana83]

ChatGPT: Please tell me if there is a concept like animal hoarding but for boats While there isn't a specific term like "animal hoarding" for boats, the behavior of accumulating and keeping an excessive number of boats or watercraft can be considered a form of hoarding. This behavior is often related to the psychological condition known as hoarding disorder, where individuals have persistent difficulty parting with possessions, leading to excessive accumulation. Boat hoarding, if it reaches a level where it becomes problematic, can result in similar consequences as animal hoarding. These consequences may include overcrowding of harbors or storage facilities, neglect of boats due to the inability to properly maintain or care for them, financial strain, and negative impacts on the individual's well-being and living conditions. It's worth noting that boat enthusiasts or collectors who have multiple boats but can afford and adequately maintain them may not be considered hoarders. The term "boat hoarding" would generally apply to cases where the behavior becomes excessive and problematic, interfering with the hoarder's daily functioning and causing distress. It's important to approach this topic with sensitivity, as hoarding disorders are recognized mental health conditions that often require professional help and support. If you or someone you know is struggling with hoarding behaviors related to boats or any other possessions, it's advisable to seek assistance from a mental health professional or support organization experienced in hoarding disorder. Just saying :D

[@kilomoana83]

Ok.....trying to get a more positive term out of it. I like it: Certainly! If we're looking for a term to describe an individual who possesses a significant number of boats in a positive and commercial manner, we could use "marine aficionado" or "nautical connoisseur." These terms highlight the person's expertise and passion for boats, suggesting a deep appreciation and knowledge in the realm of boating. They convey a sense of admiration for the individual's collection while maintaining a positive and sophisticated tone.

[@chrischerry2787]

I'm not a fan of the PVC ceiling panels. I think I would have tried something with better insulation properties, especially given your winter freezing issues. 👍

[@jsmith5278]

Ahha! Lithuania!! Well done Lithuania!

[@WolfandCatUnite]

The carrot cake was great style.

[@COM70]

May I suggest heat recovery ventilation for your 3 metal hull boats. Less condensate over the life of the boat.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Just found this channel. Looking forward to your further projects! Outstanding work, btw.😎👌 The examination of the boats on Taiwanese waters was fascinating. 👍🏼

Keep the amazing work! Good choice for materials!! Thanks for sharing

[@waynecummins9713]

Nice to see you back 🇬🇧

[@necrokittie2291]

those screws are touching the steel directly so, the ice will form on the screws now. if it was me.. i'd figure out a way to make them not have direct contact with the metal frame. if it were me, i'd take the boards down and bore the hole in the frame bigger so i could incert one of those plastic anchors people use for drywall and other stuff. and reattach the ceiling using those plastic anchors because it would have plastic between the 2 pieces of metal. and it's not like your plastic ceiling will be heavy to hold up.

[@jbprospector3638]

[@MiloszPiotrowski]

I love your channel. There is so much knowledge how to do things around a boat. It is great . thank you for that. I'm sure you have also a knowledge how to anchor this kind of cluster -boats - like your's to stand firm against wind and waves. Maybe you could advise some link or two for that ?

[@michaeldecker2725]

You’ll want corner strips. You may want to paint the screw heads as if those are what I think they are they will rust.

[@davidreedy7597]

Awesome job, thanks for sharing this with us.😊

[@brunomortensen5841]

Why not fit a sealed sheet of plastic barrier on the ceiling, before the paneling? Then you don't get moisture up there.

[@jacobtryk7058]

love the travelling part :)

[@MarkKoekenbakker]

Yeah, I see a Holland fan with an orange hat at work on a Dutch boat! Good job! :) I follow you and indeed see that you seem a bit insecure in what you show and present. Uncalled for! You show very nice videos! It doesn't have to be perfect and you don't have to serve everyone from start to finish. You are you and it is what it is. You can show more of yourself. You do sometimes, but what's your name? 😉

[@theDaftman]

that white plastic for the ceiling could become a hazard in the event of fire, melt and drip all over one and potential Rescuers. Anyone that says it doesn't, I can assure you it does, first-hand experience.

Great vid! Does anybody know the song used in the vpn ad? Reminds me of old home computer commercials from the 80s. Was it from a Commodore ad, or just just composed to sound like it?

love how u do ur thing brother :) u do u but let me tell u there are clamps, if u at one point get tired of the visible screws, i dont know the name but if u look up "nut und feder klammern" u probably find them, or ask the guys in the hardware store next time, cheers! i get the simplicity aspect as well tho. also, asian culture is a great place to see that things can be done much different compared to what we are used to do in germany and the results sometimes are even cooler and mindblowing

[@Peo_Sahlin]

You're doing a great job, but why don't you screw up the roof into the tongues or possibly available brackets, then the screws are not visible?

[@RCake]

Excuse my curiosity. Your choice of using the historical name Formosa (the pretty one) for the island - is this related to YT algorithmics or possibly attention by PRC "services"? Or is it more a cultural choice related to your wife and her family? Regardless, thank you for sharing with us, and best wishes!

[@5464348643]

Nice work and interesting trip. Thanks for sharing. :-) I mentioned this before, but I am reminded every time I see you moor a boat alongside the big boat... Sure seems to me it would be good and useful to have a walkable area around the perimeter of the big boat. Currently you have the cabin structure out to the edge of the big boat. How will you tie boats on the sides of the big boat if there is no place to stand on the big boat? If it were me, I would consider making the cabin 36" narrower than the boat, and have 18" of walkable area down both sides. Cheers! :-)

I was stationed in Okinawa Japan as a Marine, the trash trucks their do the same exact thing with the ice cream truck music to let you know to run your trash out, its done this way to keep trash from being knocked over and blown about in your yard and without having to see unsightly trash cans/piles for hours or even days while waiting on a trash truck, but also and more importantly, the Japanese Govt, thinks it will limit the amount of trash you can produce, afterall, the trucks dont really stop, so you cannot really run it down with multiple large bins/bags of trash
