We bought a new project at an AUCTION!

We have been looking for 6 months to start this project with no luck, so we decided to be a bit risky and go through an auction... We wont give too much away in the description, so watch to find out more and we hope you join us for the journey :)
--
We are Adam & Lauren, we live full time on board our 59ft Narrowboat with our dog Shanti. We are excited to welcome you into our daily life as we document our daily life.

Whether narrowboats or van adventures, I enjoy watching you two (three) having fun and overcoming challenges. I'm looking forward to the new adventure!

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thank you so much!

[@andreaamer1183]

Each couple will create what captures them . They will be creative, for sure 😊

[@anneleal7682]

Well done guys. I'll be watching your conversion updates....and comparing with Ben and Emily 😂😂

[@thefloatinghome17]

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Looking forward to seeing your van conversion. X

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thank you - we are excited to share it :)

[@benmudge9583]

Someone now needs a licence Adam 🤪

[@wesandchelle]

It's huge! So glad you got the key working so we could see inside. It's a blank space. Excited to see what you do with it.

[@thefloatinghome17]

A world of opportunities in there now!

[@cyndeeh]

So excited for you! Can't wait on your adventures!

[@johnbday4764]

You will be seeing the ups and downs!

[@jewelrussell8288]

Hi guys, good to see the van is a decent size

[@samphipps7651]

Oh my god it’s huge ! Well done Lauren for driving that beast 😳 a little bit bigger than your car 😀 looking forward to the transformation 👌

[@thefloatinghome17]

Lauren actually said she enjoyed driving it more than the car!

[@sallysmith155]

Congratulations guys on your van.I am so looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with the van.🩵🩷🦴

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thanks sally!

[@dorothygillstrap7549]

So exciting! Thanks for sharing your journey no matter the mode of travel. This is about your adventures and the fact you are living life to the fullest.

[@thefloatinghome17]

That means a lot :) thank you!

[@janicecameron3688]

So happy for you have fun.❤❤

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thank you!

[@BoatTime]

Congrats guys! very exciting 🚐

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thanks you two 🥰

[@ytanki]

Congratulations and always safe rides❤️

[@sianwarwick633]

Oh my g.o.d. i think I'm falling behind here. I'm only a consumer not a provider of products. I hope i can cope with that. 😊. The van is a beast - huge ! Van-ventures ! 😅. here all week folks

[@sdsparkes]

lol, time to buy a narrow boat. Enjoy your new adventure guys.

[@serenadm6619]

Can’t wait to see the conversion :)

[@dawnoakley1776]

Sounds like the Ben and Emily show 😂

[@hildadevries2850]

I think they both bought around the same time!

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Be good to see what you do to your new project. Good luck. Take care.

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thank you :)

[@janeharris9879]

Brilliant!! Looking forward to the conversion. 😊

[@thefloatinghome17]

Thank you! Should be fun :)

[@Rachellovescheese]

I love van conversions. So happy for you guys. What adventures you’ll have ❤️

[@thefloatinghome17]

so excited to see where we go! definitely overseas...

[@debbiejones11]

This is brilliant 🤩 I watch the channel for you two, not just the narrow boating ! Really looking forward to the conversion and your new adventures 😊

[@annanadiajohnson6590]

Hello Lauren & Adam, so happy for your latest projecct, must follow all your vlogs to see the results. Knowing your taste and know how it will be lovely. Plus I love that van. Take care and enjoy the work. Anna xxx

[@floswason8776]

I’m betting on Lauren on the conversion It’s going to be a lot of work good luck will be watching

[@aidanbrent]

Looking forward to seeing the conversion

[@lifeonautumn]

Nice to see you finally got your van! Looking forward to seeing the end result 😍 Hope you manage to keep it dry in that car park 😊

[@bnpandsc]

So let's see which of you make the best van conversion.. will it be Ben & Emily under Alan's guidance or you two...

[@thefloatinghome17]

They will definitely be faster!

[@bnpandsc]

So could their advantage be the wise design talents of their owner, Alan🤣🤣🤣 ? @@thefloatinghome17

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Any news updates on your new project? Can’t wait to see you next move you two. X

[@shae5502]

Exciting times ahead 😊😊

[@hayleyrichardson3343]

Good luck

[@sianwarwick633]

Is it fair to say we are waiting on tenterhooks for your new Van 😊 efforts...

[@lexluthor9966]

Will there be a separate channel for the van stuff? Cruising the Cut does something similar where keeps both channels separate, which I personally think works.. Congrats on the van as well, looks decent.

[@thefloatinghome17]

We can barely keep up consistently with one channel 🤣

[@rudykozan5009]

That seems to much like work lol. I’d for sure just keep it all on the same channel

[@JohnSutton-ij1hz]

Thank you

[@colin125gwr]

doing a van should de interesting

[@Ieatfridays]

Sheep

[@thefloatinghome17]

I would be offended but once we travel down to the south of France in our van I’m sure I’ll be okay being called a sheep 😀 have a lovely evening

[@cyndeeh]

​@thefloatinghome17 that's where travel beans are!

[@alexford40]

ANOTHER boating channel getting a fucking van. UNSUBSCRIBED.

[@claireskinner9077]

If you don’t like it don’t watch the videos! Van life and boat life complement each other - they’re both ‘alternative’ lifestyles based on constantly moving and living in the elements, so it’s really not a surprise that a lot of people do both.

[@Ninax3472]

It looks great! Can I ask which auction house you used?

[@f1dave990]

I live opposite the auction you where at

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

Another Narrowboat to Van Conversion Channel.

[@thefloatinghome17]

It’s actually just documenting what’s happening in our lives …

[@heidigreger7950]

What auction did you get it from.

[@JohnSutton-ij1hz]

How much did you pay for your van at auction plus all costs

[@thefloatinghome17]

Just over £9000 inc VAT :)

[@williamavery9185]

OMG shall i give you a tour of my flat ? It has pressureised water. Big bed, flushing toilet not a bucket. Cosy. Not stinking of burnt wood. Put up your you tube pennant and wave at the other 120 vlogers on here. Just motor away.

[@terryevans5476]

Does Adam have a friend who looks like him or a brother who lives off grid in Spain or Portugal ?

[@thefloatinghome17]

maybe a long lost brother!?

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@mjennings4094]

😂₩ere have you gone ?😢

[@andrewducker4753]

Oh no another couple of narrowboaters swapping to vans. Just last week unsubscribed from Ben and Emily. We joined a canal life channel not van converting and going on your jollies. By bye you 2

[@thefloatinghome17]

See ya Andrew 👋

[@shanelawrence8969]

That's rather a negative attitude, be happy for them.I'm sure they'll still be producing their narrowboat adventures when they're not vanning about🤨

[@massimilianoazzara9257]

I start seeing a pattern here….you tubers narrowboaters buying a second boat or van as a project…
