Folks have certainly made useful comments and inspired explorations 😎

Nice idea. I guess I'd need to find handles that aren't already finished. I did see some interesting wooden 'twist' handles a while back... Definitely good for thought, thanks

Cheers for the algo comment 😃

Interesting colour idea! (I think a fair amount of my resistance to 'standard' things had been my reluctance towards 'brushed chrome' or some such... But your suggestion made me wonder what I might find in the 'black nickel' of my sockets which is subtly unusual... There's some out there to consider 😎

@@BuildingEVee Or an oil rubbed bronze?

They would work on the top drawers, but I think they'd be a bit awkward to 'get under' to open the lower drawers... 🤔

Good thoughts - I'd considered they might need replacing/cleaning, but not really in a food prep context. 👍

I'm not set on whether I'll do more cruising videos... Naturally the audience for them would be different so it feels like I'd be polluting your feed if you're here for the build... I really struggled to know what speed I was doing, especially against the flow of the rivers. (I 'gunned it' up the tidal section as I figured best spend as little time out there as I could). The app/GPS trace is a good idea - have you used anything similar - or have an example of someone else doing that?

Thank-you. Unfortunately I'm still seeing a fair about if work ahead - but being far enough along to be able to live out and about again is huge - I'm very happy/pleased 😃

I'm impressed you got to 48mins - so you definitely deserve an answer! (I don't see an enquiry as a negative at all) That's the prop shaft noise that only happens in a small rev-range. It sounded like something wanting to wear-in , the prop shaft seal being a bit tight or some such... And having spoken to the builders that's pretty much in line with their thoughts... Apparently it seems to happen more often to boats that start life not moving much (EVee essentially didn't move at all for a year) somtimes getting a buildup on the prop shaft We expect it to disappear as I move more, or at worst will get dealt with when she's blacked.

@@BuildingEVeeAah , interesting, I will probably be facing the same then as my boat is still in the shed after 20 months 🙄😂😂 Could you do a vlog on a cruise with time and battery usage sometime please? And I always watch all the video ( albeit @ 2x speed!! 😂😂)( sorry 😐).

@@davidrussell7837 from my understanding, if it's not in the water I imagine you'll be fine.

I'm definitely a continuous cruiser... For me boats move, and those things which seem like hassles of moving have become things I like and miss when staying put in one place. I was stopped by a flood my first winter, and later by COVID restrictions, but other than those I've cc'd through the winter too 😎

@@BuildingEVee exactly! Wishing you lots of happy cruising 🥰

Glad you enjoyed it!

No vibrations or anything. Only happens in a small rev range. It sounded like something wanting to wear-in , the prop shaft seal being a bit tight or some such...

Apparently it seems to happen more often to boats that start life not move-in much (EVee essentially didn't move at all for a year), some buildup on the prop shaft We expect it to disappear as I move more, at worst I'll get it cleaned off when blacking.

It's great to be out of the marina... Nice bunch of people, but I'll take being "out" every time 😊

Yup, it's very different... Even with the genny running it's amazing 😁

Glad you enjoyed it

😁 In my defense, the description says "Seriously this one's not exciting... It's here for completeness. I really wouldn't blame you if you skip it!!"

@@BuildingEVee I ment no offense. Just a Karate Kid reference. Nothing I have seen so far has made me think you would settle for anything less than what you want. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you cruising soon.

Honestly none taken - you'd have to try harder than that!! 🤪

@@BuildingEVee 😜

Honestly, the camera flattered it, it was jarring to me.

Indeed... It's just a matter of getting to a point where the end can be seen 😎

Thanks for the ever present encouragement 😎

Honestly - the camera flatters. It was bright yellow in comparison to the walls themselves.... It had to go!

It usually takes me a few tries with methods that are less than ideal, before I stumble into something which seems to work better. Yup - I do fix the colour (not what I'd call easy, but yeah 😎)

@@BuildingEVee if it works it works, personally as a carpenter i'd have gone for the trusty handsaw. certainly the safest option when its a circle.

Thanks - you're a reliable viewer! 😎

Thanks for the advice, yes let's say that's why I overdid one of the clips! 😁 Silicone was my plan until I found the putty in the box and saw it on their instructions!

The experts in town don't bother with plumbers putty or silicone, between the sink and the worktop, whatsoever. They do, however, first seal around the edges of the hole that they cut, to stop the worktop wood from blowing. Anyhow, reducing the diameter of a drain pipe is typically considered to be a No No, as it creates a place for blockages to form. Do narrowboat hulls typically have the sink spigot smaller than 40mm?

@@rdukes3173 They do usually reduce but personally I go big , I have a 35mm fitting on mine . Biggest problem is keeping the trap high enough to get a thro’ fitting high enough above water level. Using a bath trap is a good way 👍

Indeed. I'll improve on the putty at some point.

I didn't think a hole saw would be ideal through stainless, and these are designed for the job so I was less likely to make a mess of it! 😁 I'll check the height at some point

Cheers 😎

It's a bit long, but it's up at last ruclips.net/video/jgDRuzo1jTM/видео.html

People who've seen it say that they didn't notice until I point them out... But 'I know'... I think the fire extinguisher is a good plan, and it saves me adding a matching trim [unnecessarily, apart from my daft desire for things to match] on the port side where the screws are correctly hidden.

@@BuildingEVee hard tp be a perfectionist on a hand built boat with a bespoke interior

It's true, I do usually want things to be 'right'. Having little experience, sometimes 'perfect' is easier to define than good enough, added to which I usually don't have a decent appreciation of what will matter, nor how capable I'm not [even more true considering limited tools/facilities]. These things combine in ways that are not helpful towards progress, but I think/hope will mean that I'm happier in what I've managed to make longer term. I'm lucky, I have time and I've stopped beating myself mentally for using too much of it 🙂

If you have gas flames running a lot then I think it's almost unavoidable... Some people have a smaller hole in the roof ply than their mushrooms would accommodate... Mine have full 100mm holes, but the fan blades and gauze count against that... (I only have two roof vents, electric cooking and no fire). The fans I'm using are in the description of this video where I waffle on about ventilation - ruclips.net/video/WWl3ok-g1hc/видео.htmlsi=wz-9v4cwP4WOmXTe Specifically, I'm only trying to extract moist air at the times when it's generated so I want to move lots of air for short periods... I guess I could 'dim' them to a low background, but they're not really designed for that as an ongoing thing, my guess is they'd fail sooner than I'd be happy with but I don't know 🤷‍♂️

It does feel nice to have 'escaped' the marina 😎

Okey dokey

Cheers. It's working out fine so far.

Ok, I'll have a look at editing it up 😎

Right o, will do!

I can already tell you I like it for the space it gives me (no black tank). I'm keeping an eye on usage so I'll update in due course 😎

@@BuildingEVee Yeah that's what appeals to me too! Cleaning my cat's litter box is quite enough 🤣

I've been loaned most of the tools I'm using... I was ready to buy things, but lucky to have generous friends. Glad you had success with your situation, I think I'll get the angle grinder out.

😂 If you go back a little, you'd see that ward the initial/test burn... Water and ~1m of (clean) toilet roll.

Steve charged for the job, I'd happily choose right over fast anyway 👍 I have some rope fenders, you're right I need to cut some hooks for them

🤣 I'm not sure about combining those two functions!!

Everything should have a dual purpose when you have limited space! 😂😂

Yeah, knowing what I know now, I'd put it up and left, but I'm sure it'll be fine where it is (else I'd move it - an extra hole in a boxed in area wouldn't be problematic). Toilet choice is definitely a personal choice of which compromises to make, I'm curious to see how much I use the composter once I have that fully installed too.

@@BuildingEVeecomposter for No.1 ( my Mrs says 🙄) but we went with cassette for No. 2 😐 Starting to come together now 👍

Glad someone knows what I'm talking about! 🙂

Feels like progress towards independence at least 😎

Cheers

Indeed - feels like it!! 😁
