WE HAVE CHANGED OUR MINDS - Episode 18

WE have changed our minds with the help from some friends we changed the roof to white and then decided to back track and paint the entire boat a gloss grey. The boys make good progress on the inside building on from the previous week with all the timber joists so it has been prepped for floor boards. We enjoy a bbq / Braai and enjoy some spring air, the dogs have a blast at the canal, generally just a good day out.

[@MrCsKnotAnotherTie]

Love the difference a lick of paint will make. It's coming on great. Can't wait to see the interior take shape 👍

[@PaulDooley-y5s]

Colour looks great ,Looking forward to seeing your refitted new boat taking shape 😊 paul

[@DuoVagari]

Thanks Paul 👍

[@benjaminromberg2091]

You two are going to have a lovely cozy home when it’s finished, keep making these great videos, I love them!

[@dustystuffgarage]

Comming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing you start the internals cheers.

[@marklikesit]

Love the grey. Boat is looking good.

[@justinowens7374]

gonna be hot in sun, like burn your feet, love the channel/you guys:)

[@MarqusReyes-yi4ww]

White reflexes the suns raise keeping you boat cooler but having a darker color attracts the suns raise making it hotter

[@darryl-ym2cr]

Reflects and ray's.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

There are now special paints coming onto the market that can reflect heat when hot and absorb heat when it's cold...ones called chameleon paint ..I believe it's french in origin.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Al Silver grey can reflect heat but avoids the worst glare. Also fits with the Zeppelin workboat aesthetics . Slate blue or green grey for the sides... Mix it well and in a constant proportions .

[@highlorddarkstar]

Interestingly, darker colors also release heat faster than lighter ones. So white, once it heats up, stays hot longer.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Whatever the heat gain through the hull the biggest problem with all steel hulls is the condensation corrosion that develops inside.. spray foam unless it's sealed cell and expensive as well as toxic .. just causes horrible problems. So when they come to that part of the build I suggest they do some careful research and insulate above and below the water line thoroughly, using non flammable none mould or bacterial supporting materials. They need to ideally deal with conducted heat and radiant heat...so something like Basalt ..rock wool matting and a reflective layer ..under the trim and panels. Supporting metal frames act as thermal bridges and need tackling as they condensate in winter and rust quickly.

[@Santafefrank]

Thanks for the video you two 😊

[@stevecapper9321]

also suggestion about the hand rails they look great in RED...😀😀

[@mid-niteryders5523]

Great job, great color 🎉😅

Now’s that’s what I call progress .well done indeed . Presume you have a master plan for the interior

[@DuoVagari]

Thanks so much, yes we hoping it will take shape in the next few weeks

[@thomascoyne157]

It’s nice and a better option for it ✔️🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀👍👍👍👍👍

[@angeltyson1966]

Great job everybody but next time check the brightness levels on your camera

[@cbcdesign001]

At the end of the day, two coats of white followed by two coats of dark grey means plenty of paint on the roof, no bad thing.

[@yorkshiremen1]

I always think its a good ideal to let young children use circular saws perhaps a chain saw next time?

[@dwansbo]

Maybe an angle grinder? It surprises me how many people on U Tube use them without the guard. Like a circular saw they can kick like a mule. The lad could hardly lift the saw, he would never hold it, if, say there was a nail in the timber.

[@ppo2424]

Yeah I was a bit gobsmacked seeing that.

[@kevinfoster926]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@theoilybeard3287]

I actually did use a chainsaw when I was not much older - for making oak fencing. The worst that happened was getting stung in the armpit by a wasp mid cut!

[@davidmobley5984]

Wow

[@bartdepauw1156]

I saw you still have the stickers on the window glasses. The faster you remove these the better, as they get hard to remove the longer you leaven them on. PS : glue them on a paper and put them into the "administration". My 5 cents from Belgium ;-)

[@andrusleberecht6713]

Interesting color tone, it looks bluish-gray (or similar) from the computer monitor. I like it, and of course best wishes to the girl from Estonia.

[@DuoVagari]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@landyboy7]

Great job… I think it’s great the kids got involved. Fantastic work.

[@jeffcranmer5374]

Important safety advice. I saw the young kid wearing gloves. Never wear gloves when operating power tools. Even if they are cut resistant gloves, if they get caught in the blade, they can wrap around it and stick limbs into that blade. Very dangerous.

[@DuoVagari]

Thanks we didn't know that appreciate the advice

[@sentul5558]

No!! A child of this age should not even be holding the power tool like this one.! THIS IS POSSIBLY A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UK . Allowing a child to hold a power tool in this way is UNBELIEVABLE!! .. And totally irresponsible. I was cringing watching this part !!

[@Kami8705]

Kids under proper supervision can absolutely use power tools. He had an adult with him and even holding onto the saw. As far as gloves, I disagree entirely. The gloves will protect your hand from flying pieces of wood. Hands should never be close enough to a spinning blade that they can get caught. No glove is going to stop a saw like that without at least some injury. The no glove argument makes more sense for things like a bench grinder where you are holding pieces close to the wheel. Unfortunately people try to apply it to everything.

[@billharris6886]

Yes, the child holding and running the circular saw scared me to death. Those Saws are so powerful, you can easily lose a finger in less than 1 second.

[@Lee_Proffit]

Agree with the glove thing. Kids under a responsible adult are fine using power tools, better they learn the correct way to use them and learn to respect them

[@JennyKaranzja-dr6dp]

Nice

[@vivanasperen3339]

Get a cobb oven combo grill. Put in the chicken and whatever else close lid and you are all set.

[@shawnrhyme5831]

I enjoyed the video. I painted a basement floor way back in the day, with the help of a 7 and 9 year old. The next day their step mom decided to hang laundry to dry, and ended up with paint on the seat of her pants. I got a laugh out of it. Thanks for the video.

[@marcellebaudry5786]

bravo

[@crprovost]

Is it just at my end or does the video seem a little over exposed.

[@DuoVagari]

Apologies we had some camera issues

[@crprovost]

No apologies necessary 😀 just thought I’d let you know.

[@michaelweavers8482]

Your gonna lose your phone unless your super careful.

[@ratballs007]

Are you not going to grind, fill and sand the imperfections, what are you expecting from this project, do you just want something to do or are you intended to renovate and restore, you cant just slap paint on the metal, no rust converter, epoxy, nothing ? OMG ! i mean i know its DYI but my god man.......

[@gravy123able]

I thought the grey undercoat was for rust protection?

[@Lee_Proffit]

Did you treat those joists ? If not you are creating a problem for yourselves down the line 😞

[@robertsnyder5544]

Any exterior surface that you will be walking on in bare feet should be white skid resistant paint, grey has black in it and can get very hot on sunny days.

[@dantastic6262]

I have a white roof. It’s definitely a lot cooler in summer… However you get a lot of glare when cruising towards the sun

[@1eltino]

That boat deserved better than bog standard white pvc windows 🤮 Paint looks better though

[@davidhellwege9773]

I think that you will regret the dark gray roof during hot summer days, and trying to keep the interior air conditioned. Your solar panels should cover a lot of the white and reduce the glare.

[@mikecommish]

Please stop letting that guy use the circular saw. PLEASE.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, you’re just scared the shit out of me letting that young bloke use a circular saw if that jumps or jam back it will cut his guts open , please don’t let your kids use power saw they are so dangerous

[@annevalentine6756]

To be honest, I find your content a tad boring compared to other similar ones

[@gravy123able]

Don’t watch then?

[@Stasy76]

Nice project! 👍 I also like the gloss gray color better. But white has one advantage over a dark color: the roof gets less hot in summer. I don't know what you plan to do with the roof, but if you want to use it as a chillout deck or something similar, white might have been the better choice for the roof 😉

[@peterrenouf-shermer5261]

Lovely to see you working again on the barge But it would be advisable for the children to wear life jackets wile on board

[@paulbennett8948]

Love the grey guys, much better choice in the long run, apart from snow blindness the white will need far more cleaning and maintenance to keep it looking good, think naval vessels. Great video.

[@DuoVagari]

That's a great point thank you :)

[@kevinfoster926]

Nothing wrong with the colour grey, I served nine years in the Royal Navy and every ship I served in was grey...................it's a popular colour for navies worldwide.😂😂😂

[@DuoVagari]

Thank you for your service! Yes indeed grey grey is special 🤣

[@ninnnv]

The two gents cutting the wood need to take a leaf out of the child's book and wear ear protection and eye protection. Not exactly a good example of safety on their part.

[@jeffking3641]

It is obvious you and your friends are unskilled in construction. I love your tenacity of "Git ur dun." I believe you are on an adventure of a lifetime. Thank you for allowing me to watch.❤

[@alanchandler254]

Was a bit amazed you allowed the youngster to handle the power saw which he could barely lift

[@johnarnell4241]

A white roof would be unbearable heading into bright sunlight good decision.

[@dantastic6262]

OMG I climbed onto this boat when it was full of water, in Maple Cross… It REALLY got the imagination flowing! Good luck guys

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Do make sure you put insulation up in the cabin top. Might get a tad toasty during the summer. Take it safe and good progress!

[@thisoldminewithlars5324]

I would put 3 or more bilge pumps in. One at each end at least in case you go down by the stern or down by the bow. You can also put an alarm on them to notify you when a pump is running in case you are asleep. Just a thought.

[@peterhendry2154]

Those paint tins have holes in the tabs on the top so you can stick a screwdriver etc. in and bend them back. Easier than pliers.

[@sq33z3r3]

Good progress guys. Probably too late but I plan on using that heavy duty tub liner Americans use on their pickups. Or a locally made version of it. Think about sprinkling fine sand on a fresh coat around the edges for grip. I've used that for floors in commercial food processing rooms with great results. Keep up the great work

[@tinkeringwithmark1186]

Love the look of your boat. What is nice is that you have room on the roof for a couple hundred feet of black tubing coiled for a solar water heater. I have 2000 feet heating my pool. Have you considered vertical wind power and extending the stern with a deck for cocktails and dining. Lol!

[@MartinBirch-w6b]

[@alejogonzalez4167]

ahi no debe hacer mucho calor en verano me imagino ... lo digo por el color negro saludos muy buen trabajo.

[@AndyWicker]

Junk, absolute junk. Until NOW!! Looks great!! I did NOT see this coming from day one, or whenever I subscribed. But, white hides imperfections, dark magnifies. Gloss makes them visible, matte hides them. Maybe dark is better to absorb heat, on the few days you get i there, I mean that big yellow thing up there.

[@kenshores9900]

So what has transpired regarded the vandals that broke your windows? Were they caught? Did you board over the broken windows. Besides that how’s Barley? Rub his belly for me. Oh by the way have you or are you going to install a bilge pump system? From the Third Coast of the USA

[@j0hnf_uk]

You need to sort out the aperture on your camera. It's too open and causing a lot of over-exposure, particularly of the outside shots. They're looking like an early 80's pop video! 😁 Although, the second part of the video does look better. That, 'battleship grey', paint will help a bit.

[@ulisesmartiena2155]

Ok thanks for the informatiom. Till where is the last episode last i saw was 25 do you have more? Keep up with the good work

[@andymarshall3157]

Hey, I love how you two are rehabbing this canal boat. Do you know who made this type of boat? Where does the boat dock. Can I get a boat like this to rehab for myself? Thanks Andy

[@robdeaton9910]

You missed/forgot the rails, are you painting them or changing them completely? I think the grey is a great colour scheme with the white trim on windows. Have you thought about signage of the name on the side like other older boats? Great work and videos 😊.

[@paulmartin4971]

Hi guys more great progress, really like the new colour scheme. Cheers 🍻

[@colh5910]

I was going to subscribe but after seeing the young child using a circular saw i decided not to. Its the height of irresponsible parenting. Dont you realise how dangerous they are even in the hands of adults.

[@mikemccann6319]

Been helping out at my Marina there are 2 boats on my dock that ar wooden hulls one is the boat that Natley Woods married Robert Wagner on. But both need to be pulled out of the water and the hulls need to be fixed and sealed. One went down in January when the bilge pumps failed but I'm getting about 20 gallons of water out of each of them every other day

[@bobuncle8704]

Good choice on going back to the grey. Coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing the solar.

[@james419]

Another interesting episode except for allowing children with power tools - if anything goes wrong no one canget to them quickly enough to avoid serious injuries

[@rosabayhan810]

Kid way too young for power tool

[@MsRachaelRoberts]

Children can use power tools under supervision. Design Technology teachers teach children every day in school lessons.

[@grahamc887]

It is looking good, you would never kept the white clean, it would always looked dirty.

[@MrSychnant]

Do you have any plans on what ballast ( if any)you might need in the boat? in an earlier video i tought i saw some concrete slab at the bow. or was i mistaken?

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, I think it’ll look good when you do those handrails if they done white and maybe a strip down the side just to break it up but that’s only my opinion. Keep up the good work from Australia

[@everestyeti]

Probably up there with one of the daftest comments on u tube, the only reason why there is an issue with people wearing gloves is they don't either wear the correct size or the correct type which is all down to the proper training.

[@mikeboone4425]

You do know they make a metal roller screen for 5 gallon buckets for loading your roller just drop it in you never need a second container.

[@billharris6886]

Nice work Chris and Priscilla, the boat looks SO much better than when you first bought it! Being in Florida, white is the only color I would have considered due to the regular sunshine and high year round temperatures. In the UK, the gray should work nicely. It's nice you were blessed with a sunny day. On the floor joists, I would have used pressure treated timbre but, I don't know if it is available in the UK. It's nice you had some (I am assuming) family help. Thanks for another interesting video, I always look forward to them. I hope the boat becomes what you are envisioning.

[@rogerchassignol3666]

Avec cette couleur votre bateau va ressembler à un corbillard !!! Sinistre !!!

[@MuzzleMike]

That is looking so good ! The color and the shape. It is going to be a nice home on the water and the two of you are making it happen. It is so fantastic!

[@grahamparkin2465]

handy hint ... get some old broom handles and screw them into the roller handles and save your back 🤘

[@ribohne]

Anti glare paint, add anti slip abrasive. Black compared to White heat reflection is significant. Even in the UK the sun shines, sometimes. Grey is for Battle ships. Your boat has so much potential and just, looks Right somehow. Nice to see dad giving the lad a go at the saw but it still made me feel queasy. Those bits of kit, have no friends.

[@mintycarpangler]

White on a boat will reflect the heat in the summer,black and grey absorb the heat

[@somethingblueboatlifecambr1112]

Hi looking good just a thought you could paint side rails to break up the grey and once you have boat name in colour too finish it off 😎 Gary

[@LangeKale]

I heard in a earlier episode that the motor is being repaired by professionals. Some footage from the motor please

[@glenellyn100]

If the joists are not yet fastened in place, you might consider putting a material between the steel and the wood that would prevent the wood from rotting. A rubber or plastic spacer that would let moisture drain away from the wood could increase the life of the framing. Also, take a look at homemade track saw guides before you start cutting sheet goods. Peter Millard has some excellent video on MFT tables for cutting sheet goods.

[@DuoVagari]

Thanx for the tips 🙂

[@rudyfisher7660]

When you're through with painting everything the walking deck. What I would do is if you throw a little bit of the paint sand in there you can paint that walking deck? With that paint stand it'll leave a little grip for you to walk on. So it won't be slick when you're out there in this raining or something

[@lynmoore8355]

omg how awesome is this boat coming along, I have followed you guys from day one, its looking good, and yes the grey is definately better than the white... love the grey... keep it up guys love it can't wait to start the inside...

[@John-s3t6q]

Well the paint will cover all that rust for a time . Let us hope it will last for a long time.
