Great job James that looks fantastic,well done.I was a bit worried when you were playing the blues at the beginning,I thought something had gone wrong.Once again well done and looking forward to seeing you enjoy your Sunday roast in front of 🔥.
Hi James super results with all the portions of the fire install and now take serious care with the final finishings, don't rush them, you'll have a very flashy fire place. Enjoy your meal tomorrow, you deserve too.
I can’t see any detail like a smile on my phone screen, but I was pretty happy with the outcome - glad I was smiling then 👍🏼 Looking forward to that lunch now
Never did I think that I would watch with baited breath a stove pipe being lowered through the roof and hoping that you had cut it to the right length!! Well done James. You have all the skills that I lack and you have my respect for that.
Oh Terry - I was lowering it with baited breath whilst also wondering what do I do when I run out of flue to hold - I ended up kind of pinching it between 2 fingers!! Thank you for your kind words Stay safe
Yeeeeess!! Walk to camera! Getting more epic every time. The stove looks amazing, and you’ve done a top job on the steel plating. Take a bow sir, take a bow.
Wowsers the steel panel looks amazing and the stove does too, hopefully not much longer now and a nice roaring fire to keep the boat warm and toasty.. Take care of yourself and looking forward to more of your build.
Thanks so much - I’m chuffed and now seeing it in the natural light is great. I’ve ordered my roast - now I just need to whack in the cement and rope and wait for the chef
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt good luck with cement and so jealous of you having a roast dinner lol, enjoy and feet up relaxing in front of your fire, keep up your amazing work and look forward to seeing more
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt James not sure if youve done it already...if not you should maybe consider live stream Q&A at some point. Just a thought. Enjoy your dinner.
He's only gone and done it. Well done, James. It's starting to look like a home. Tomorrow's Sunday lunch is going to taste so sweet. Toasting your tootsies in front of the fire while your dinner goes down is the perfect way to spend an hour or two. All the best.
Great job James. Your intros and getting quite cinematic, I was expecting you to enter from stage right strumming a guitar! As the flue lowered slowly down into the boat, I was expecting to hear Stanley Kubrick's 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' playing! The only outro you need as a grand finale after launch is one of you walking away from an explosion in slow motion as you leave your old life behind you! Food for thought whilst you enjoy a delicious Sunday roast in front of the blazing fire 😏🤭
That I reckon is the best narrowboat stove instal I’ve watched on RUclips, and I watched loads before I did mine. (Yours puts mine to shame btw 🤣) Reckon you’ve earned a beer or two with your Sunday lunch 👍🏻
Wow wow and a bit more wow. Thank you. I’ve still got one of those Scottish beers left so I’ll have that with my lunch. Just no work afterwards....ooh an afternoon off - now there’s a thought !
Great vlog James what with a hands appearing out of the roof from below, chimneys from above and a great intro with a moody stroll into shot accompanied by soulful music and REAL snow. you've got an alternative career beckoning.
It took a lot of persuading for that snow to arrive on time!! I enjoy making the videos a tad more atmospheric where I can. Music compliments of my dad this time
James What can i say,simply you are the "Dogs Bollocks" Im going through all your videos and I mean all !! Im just doing my research as im looking to buy my forever home ( wont go to much into why i havnt got one at 58 excempt "she took me to the cleaners) your help, advice and knowledge is priceless. keep your videos coming as im going to need them,if we ever get to meet up then the beers are on me. Thanks Paul.
Yeah man! That stainless steel looks sweet behind the stove setup. That soft bend looks exceptional. Hack: if the steel gets water stains on it ever or whatnot, the best cleaner is regular old pledge wood polish.
Well done a major milestone reached,you must be so chuffed. It’s all downhill,or should I say down the slipway from here. I wouldn’t like to be in the shoes of anyone who tries to tell it could have been done better.
Looks great fella well done you must feel bloody proud of it. I think the brushed finish looks really good with the black flue. Just a few more hours til your eating your Sunday roast with the fire going, you come a long way in a very short time with your boat.
I intend to be toasting you tomorrow, whilst sipping on a nice glass of whiskey, during your Sunday lunch by the fire. Cheers! to reaching a great milestone.
Good job installing the stove and flue. Looking forward to seeing how you finish off the surround area. Only 1 small request... please install the fire and carbon monoxide detectors before you start lighting the fire.. I don't think any of us would like the videos to come to a stop any time soon..
Thanks - I will have the alarms at the ready but there’s still a lot of dust, spraying, smoking etc still to be done so they’ll be going off every five minutes for the meanwhile
All I could hear in my head as the flue slowly appeared through the roof, was the sound of a cartoon slide whistle! 😂. It really is looking fantastic James. Even better than I'd imagined, and I agree, that curve in the stainless really adds something. I wonder how you'll get trim to fit round that curve though? Can't wait for the inaugural lighting tomorrow. 👍
Curve looks better than a fold mate , agreed you can go for a nice head on the screws like hex , or to give the riviet look dome headed stainless would look the part . My fire in the cottage is ticking over , don't forget look out for K G Smith's Stove Glow fuel , best we have used in 10 years , fire stays in for long periods with fan booming on top .
Hi James another good vlog just thought I might say that you shouldn't have fitted the chrome trim before you had put the rope in the collar you may find the flue is tight against one side and you will need to remove the trim to fit the rope then redrill the trim to fit it back you can use fire rope on the bottom joint and then some high temp silicon instead of that messy fire cement don't forget to test for leaks with some smoke matches (available from screwfix or plumber suppliers) just to be on the safe side.
Replacing my 20 year old Arada Villager with an Arada Hamlet Hardy 4 so your video was very helpful. Major difference was I have to remove panels to check battening for pyrolysis and install fresh insulation. Chose the HH4 for weight as a Morso would have been heavier that the old Villager. Also Arada are only supplier still to extend lifetime warranty.
James, Just a heads up, the paint on the flue and the stove also may very well smoke and stink up the place the at first, till the paint sets during the first heating's of the unit and flue. Be ready to flow some fresh air! But them comes the warmth!
Nice one James. Soon be Yorkshire pudding time! BTW I think you meant 150 (mm) diameter hole, and not radius [6:06] ;-) (sorry, I’m just a bugger for detail as I may well be doing similar on my fit-out in a few months time). Nice idea regards the wall screw-inserts in the CS board. Enjoy your Sunday roast, oh, and order yourself an extra portion for another job well done mate. You deserve it. ;-)
Cheers me boy. Yes alright I meant diameter - I knew it as soon as I said it. But I’m a “one take kinda guy” so carried on with the mistake !!!! The screw inserts worked really well into CS which is crumbly as plasterboard. Mate that roast will be gooooooood. Hope you’re well 👍🏼
Fantastic 👏 You probably know already being a knowledgeable guy but, make sure the first few burns are small and short. This hardens the paint and settles everything in nicely.
Morning James. Lovely bit of stainless steel work 👍🏻 No end to your skills now lol 😂 It's really taking shape now and looking more and more homely especially when you light that fire 🔥 for the first time woohoo 🙌 Keep safe until the next episode of The Narrowboat boat that James built. This is one fantastic journey I'm so glad I'm on board with you. Cheers Stevie 😎
Hey thanks - I’m happy with the look - copper would have been a different feel altogether. The reflections and light this gives off is lovely. Really brightens the place up !!
With each new video we are getting slightly more footage, almost 23 minutes this time! Those supports have been a god send, is that what you think has been the best investment for the rebuild?
Hi Jon. The app I used to use to make vids for YT no longer works so I upload directly to YT which doesn’t have the 15 minute limit so sometimes they can be longer - like yesterday’s. Yes I think they were the best investment - couldn’t have done many jobs without. It’s like having 6 silent obedient and really really thin mates helping me out !!
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt I follow the "Life Uncontained" YT channel where they're making a home from 2 storage containers. A few weeks back they started putting up the plasterboard on their ceiling - I'm screaming at them to get some similar supports or even make a T shaped brace! Here's the video - ruclips.net/video/8MZUyVissao/видео.html
My mate put a mirror up with copper screws, then there was a bit screwed into the top so it looked like a rivet, they would look good against the stainless mate
Bloody hell - did he pay you to write that publicly??? No he’s not a composer but I’m pretty sure he’ll think that’s the best thing anyone’s ever said about him 🤣🤣🤣. Glad you like the stove install - I’m happy with the look - just need the rest of the boat to match
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt All meant with a sincere heart (and your dad's not paid a bean). You're doing a cracking job and the rest of the boat will get there. The important thing is that you're making a fantastic new home
James, great job as always. Just curious if a double or twin walled flue or insulated flue (maybe the same thing, but thought upped mentioned them) would have allowed you to avoid all that extra work. Keep top the great work though.
Hi James 😁 I am also starting from scratch so your videos are proving very helpful. I just wandered about the stainless steel, does it have to have an air gap behind it or do you not need it with the cs board ? Any advise would be much appreciated Thanks Sara
That looks tremendous. I'd be very proud of that. I knew you wouldn't get a nibbler for the hole. No chance at all of life changing injury with a nibbler. Where's the fun in that. Do you put rope in the stove collar before you put cement in. I only say that because that's what they did for my stove at home.
Yes Michael - That’s what I needed to hear from you Sir. No nibbler, no injury luckily either!! Rope goes in at top only through collar. Just loosely to allow the pipe to expand and allow the pipe to squeeze the rope in situ. Then in with silicon.
Well done James, now is the time to enjoy Sunday lunch in front of your fire.
Not long to go now !!
Fabulous! Well done you.... it looks really nice 😍 you will enjoy sitting next to it xx
Thank you 🙏
Don't forget a self-congratulory beer with that Sunday lunch, James.
That’s a defo. Will be had and enjoyed
Peeling the plastic was the icing on the cake!
Really !! Glad you thought so 👍🏼
Those support poles have really earned their keep 😊😊
Great job James that looks fantastic,well done.I was a bit worried when you were playing the blues at the beginning,I thought something had gone wrong.Once again well done and looking forward to seeing you enjoy your Sunday roast in front of 🔥.
Oh I had t thought of that. Will need appropriate music for today then as things are going well !!!
Hi James super results with all the portions of the fire install and now take serious care with the final finishings, don't rush them, you'll have a very flashy fire place. Enjoy your meal tomorrow, you deserve too.
Thanks for that advice. I’m going to put the rest of the ceiling up and walls and then look at the trim. Do it once. Get it right
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt Absolutely James, well done, Proper Job (PJ)
Oh that smile of satisfaction James ! Looking forward to seeing you in front of your stove keeping warm. What a wonderful Sunday dinner it will be..
I can’t see any detail like a smile on my phone screen, but I was pretty happy with the outcome - glad I was smiling then 👍🏼
Looking forward to that lunch now
The whole thing has been super useful to be honest James. Big thumbs up.

Nice job James. looks great, glad you went for the curve.
Me too - thanks 👍🏼
Hi James the work on the flue and stove came up excellently. Well done. Keith & Helen Melbourne Auzz
Well done mate, I wasn’t to sure if it was going to look that good, but it does. I think we’ll all be with with you in sprite for Sunday lunch 😊
Thanks so much - you and me both but it came out OK !
Yeeeeess!! Walk to camera! Getting more epic every time. The stove looks amazing, and you’ve done a top job on the steel plating. Take a bow sir, take a bow.
Excellent job. Didn't realise the job involved so many steps. Obviously much planning and thought used.
Well done James, Excellent job. The s. steel looks top notch I'm really pleased for you - enjoy.
Thanks Clive - cheers 👍🏼

Your walking up to the camera and music fading out was great.
All you need when you're done is to walk into a fog bank, as the music rises. ;-)
It took me long enough to order snow, to arrange fog is too much for me right now!! Glad you like the shots - its a bit of fun
The heart of your home is installed and wasn't it satisfying to peel off the protective stuff on the steel ? Excellent .
Oh yeah - it felt great and to see no scratches underneath made it all the better
Yeyy...you hit 4k. Your doing a great job. Keep doing what your doing. Addictive watching.
Haha! Was just about to check - no need now. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent well done James.
Thanks pal

Loved the intro. The fire is looking great. The steel looks fab, much better with just the curve. A real class piece of work. Your amazing.
Wow Linda thanks so much. I’m delighted with the outcome.
I can’t wait for tomorrow’s lunch now thanks to you x
You have done a grand job there James

Looks grate.
That was quite a moment seeing the chimney heading down from the roof--yay!! The stainless steel backing looks terrific--very sharp.
Yay - I’m glad you like the look 👍🏼
Looks great. Cant wait to see the trim
I was so excited for this video!!!!
Kudos!!!!
Long time coming. Good job. Thanx for sharing.
I agree - it took some time - but the right sound result was achieved. Glad you like. Take care

Good job James, looking great, however why no presents today?
As nice as copper is, the colour may have been a bit overpowering against the tile. Thinking the colour harmony much better with steel.
