Hi, Jess, don't take people seriously they talk a lot but they are not doing what you do. I love watching you guys build this boat. I wish I had the energy and go to do what you guys do. Love how you guys have everything and I have learnt so much thanks for that big time.
Blood, sweat and tears, you guys have done an excellent job! Having a boat means that you are never done, there will be something that needs to be done.
I would love a J3 cup, I hate hot drinks-especially hot coffee!! ☕️ Great to see you both having some fun and laughs. Hope the headaches have gone and you’re both keeping well and safe.
I have been watching from the start, what I like the best, is how the both of you work together it's a good thing to, to see, God bless the both of you
I’m always amazed how far you are able to stretch your budget and make something out of stuff that is just laying around. Being able to do that at sea will serve you well! Keep up the great work!
Gday to u both, jeez watching u guys work as a team is bloody amazing. I was project manager for a couple of navy ships, none of them ran to plan for reasons u already know but to watch damian do his little sketches and figure things out reminds me of the good old days, before computers interfeared..Love ya both 👍
Hi bro, an sis, lots of know it all people out there, i bought a project boat and found that out, so what i done was nothing till the advice stopped ,enjoying working on my boat now an lots of coffee breaks , keep the dream going
Hey guys, It is said that we here in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA can get to nearly anywhere in the world via the Tennessee River, that runs through the city. So maybe we will someday see you here in Knoxville. Smile!
Bites you guys don’t have 1 inch PINK PANTHER foam board over there. So much easier to install with the same R value as the 2 inch styrene boards. Plus we stick them up with Great Stuff foam spray. 😎👉👉👉Keep up the good work with what you guys have down there. Prays and well wishes. Keep trucking on.
This was an amazing episode to watch and so entertaining. I realized I saw Damien develop dandruff while working in the kitchen while putting in the roof insulation. I’ve never thought about using the sink as a way to cut insulation but now my horizon has been expanded - you both are so amazing and use common sense to the fullest.
Hi Jess,most RUclips people let the comments create or feed the Algorithm,so unless they are really bad comments or language most let them role out and the other viewers tend to correct those Silly people . Talking of the cold places to sail to ,have you seen Alluring Arctic Sailing channe , certainly an eye opener. With the renewed calls for the north west passage to be available for shipping because of the Panama canal issues the Suez canal and Red Sea dangers, alternative routes need to be made .l
It's great to see the pink shirt of precision being put to good use. Thank goodness you picked a J1, I don't think a J2 would fit between your head and the proposed ceiling. Walking around with a cup on your head, did you learn that at modelling school, for posture? I always thought they used books..... Insulation should always take priority over head room! Another great episode guys, remember, Stay Cool Till After School Leave, Same Or Better, Everything Be Kind ☮️🙋🏻♂️
Have you considered? While polystyrene foam insulation sheets, like expanded polystyrene (EPS), are generally considered to not significantly "offgas" under normal conditions, meaning they do not release harmful chemicals into the air in noticeable amounts, there are still concerns about potential offgassing depending on the manufacturing process and the presence of flame retardants, especially when exposed to extreme heat or fire; in such situations, toxic fumes like styrene can be released. Key points about polystyrene foam insulation and offgassing: Minimal offgassing under normal use: Most modern EPS insulation is considered to have very low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) levels and is considered non-toxic when used as intended. Flame retardant concerns: Some older EPS products might have contained flame retardants like hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) which could potentially offgas more significantly. High heat situations: The primary concern with polystyrene foam is its potential to release toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or fire, which can be dangerous in enclosed spaces.
Don't be surprised if Jess lays the table and gives you a screwdriver instead of a knife Assuming the cups hold the same amount of liquid, i wonder if the larger area of ceramic radiates more heat than evaporation, test by filling J2 &J3 with hot water, leave for 30 mins, check temp You're both doing an excellent job When someone says you'll never do it, it becomes a challenge to prove them wrong There's only one way to gain experience, and that's by doing, even if you get it wrong the first few times, eventually you'll get it right.
Could add copper pipe to hot area from water supply to pump cool water around may cool. Can do trail. But many thinks to do . Train stops at midnight so didn't visit. Galley good to finish , engine room would hold heat but navigation area needs to be comfortable. You can buy from bulk supermarkets. I use tip shop for many material needs 1/3 the price of bunning . Would be nice to have a clean shinny surface in the galley. Gumtree also handy for Aussie material sales or purchases. Knowing what you need now away from a jetty makes the word priority have meaning. Always impressed with good project builds
But take in account that cooking grease and oils will stick to styrene turning it yellow, but a simple wipable foam safe gloss paint can solve that. If not paneling.
Jess you do an amazing job. My sister works in an offshore industry with pusher tugs very male dominated industry, and she fights that issue all the time from the guys borderline harassment with her and it’s sad and she’s probably a better tug captain than most of the guys I love your guys channel.
I have been following you guys from the beginning and sure do appreciate the amount of hard work that you’ve poured into this. I have a question regarding the use of expanded poly styrene foam…. No doubt it has adequate thermal insulative qualities, but is not known for fire resistance, nor self-extinguishing properties. Is there a game-plan for a centralized halon or water fire suppression system in the future? Especially in the galley area? Or is the end game to install a fire resistant headliner over the foam? I can appreciate the cost benefit of using EPS over more costly fire-rated products for sure. Keep up the good work!
You should look into getting an inexpensive hot knife setup for cutting the insulation. Has other uses as well but excels at cutting insulation and foam.
Sorry if it’s too early to pose this question. Do you have a plan to insulate those welded ribs too? Just thinking about Artic conditions and condensation around thermal bridges. But as you say on a complex project like Brupeg things happen when they need to happen :) Always a pleasure to see your progress.
No, not to early. All external walls etc get a second layer of insulation, it’s that layer that covers the steel ribs. So most of the panel is 120mm deep polystyrene and where the rib is it’s a single 60mm layer. We won’t be able to eliminate 100% of the thermal bridges but we will try and use poor conductive material where we can’t so they are reduced as much as possible
Good work guys. Until someone has done it for themselves they might not know how hard doing a job like that where you are doing all the work above your head and having to cut out and fit complicated pieces around all kinds of odd shaped fittings can be. It's really nice to see the project move through, and I hope that all the hard work on jobs like this start to make Brupeg more liveable for you as the major build work finishes and the fine-tuning stuff takes over.
I do home repairs and remodeling and with every project I've worked on it's always the last 10percent of the project that takes the most time because of all the little details. One of the other things that happens with me is that I will find something that prevents continuing the project, the kind of thing that whenever you look at the covering panel you know there is that blemish, hole, chip, etc. is buried behind the panel calling out to you saying "fix me". 🤣
You may be fighting the heat just understand that some of us are battling the cold it's currently -17°C or1°F here in Minnesota with wind chill it's -22°F and dropping
Given your paints seperate out over time how do you mix these paints in the future. Not a good storage method. Flam locker over a plastic box may be a more secure option. Wishing you success.
Hi guys! A big hug from the Basque Country in Spain! One question, now almost all the ship's vital systems are finished or in the process of being finished in the short/medium term. So.... Have you already thought about when you will be able to do your first scientific research project? It would be great! Come on, keep it up! There's less left to finish with all the details! And please don't pay attention to people, they love to bother!
jess coffee is serious bisness there are many variables to the perfect experience the correct vessel is only one nuance so let them scoff you have a reason and they need not be burdened with the knowledge there blissful in ignorance leaving you 2 choices 1 leave it alone 2 educate them both work but have different outcomes make your choice appropriately. i dont have boots on the ground here no skin in this game and almost no nautical knowledge so i leave that to you guys but i do have 54 years of interacting with people where i apply the came logic to dealing with them as you do in choosing a coffee cup.. thanks as always for the vids. galley insulation and clearance you might consider Mylar sheeting as a sealing layer and for its reflective insulating properties the silver plastic sheets they use as emergency blankets easy to source and cheap just need a contact adhesive to affix it
One should never stick one's little finger out when drinking coffee, however it is mandatory when drinking Earl Grey Tea (with, or without, a slice of lemon).
I’m probably teaching granny how to suck eggs but I sincerely hope you’re going to fireproof that highly inflammable stuff!!! No one wants to see anyone or all your hard work go up in smoke. Please please get it fireproofed ASAP!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. (A bread knife is brilliant for cutting polystyrene). Speaking of insulation, the Parker Solar Probe seems to have pretty good insulation ( down to room temperature ) a bit difficult to get at though!
It would be awesome if there was a plastic bag heavy duty and chemical resistant enough to keep leftover paint and stuff in so you aren't storing more air than paint and mixing it up would be a lot easier since after it separates in those blue bins it is going to be really hard to mix it together again. I know that box would look empty if the stuff was stored in bags then put into a spill proof container just in case so it would be a huge benefit for other boaters as well so there might be some option already on the market.
What a great idea! If the bag was transparent you would instantly see the paint colour and being malleable mixing the paint would be easy. I imagine a larger version of a boxed wine bladder with tap included, would be perfect
@@kiwi_welltraveled4375 Yeah, hopefully they already make something like that or someone can start because U think it would be a great addition. Even if it had the cap found on glue bottles it would be better than a can.
I must be a bit slow today, all you have to do is Google, "collapsible water container" and there are heaps of heavy-duty containers. They have been around for ages, I remember buying them for camping decades ago.
I don't worry about it I'm not there so I don't know what all you have to go through just to be able to show me what little you can of what all it takes
Damien, I live in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada. I have been watching your channel since the beginning. Over these years I have wondered what type of insulation you have been using. Polystyrene is flammable and toxic when exposed to a flame. Our building codes require that this type of material must be covered with materials that prevent the material from igniting or melting. Does the material you are using have any fire retardant properties? If not, you will need to cover it. Particulary in the galley area.
Not to be a downer but as a retired volly and here in the states polystyrene while a great insulator is extremely flammable, I worry about your safety especially in the galley. "Polystyrene foam, including expanded polystyrene (EPS), is considered a flammable material with a low flammability rating, typically classified as "B2" or "B3" which means it is highly flammable and easily ignited; therefore, it should not be used in exposed installations in construction without additional fire-retardant measures like covering it with drywall or concrete."

I miss Birk. Do you have any plans for him to join up in the near future?
Just a query - what's the fire resistance of that stuff like? Are you a chip pan fire away from the whole galley & then the whole ship becoming a raging inferno because the galley ceiling melted & burst into flame?
You probably have discussed this at some point, but doesn't the flamability or burniness or whatever 😉 of the polystyrene worry you? It used to be a popular material for insulation here but can't be used for walls or ceilings any longer. You could reduce the fluff you create when sawing the sheets by using a hot wire, a piece of nitinol and a power supply should do the trick, model builders do this all the time.
Understanding the order of how things must happen in your universe, is there a plan to someday put a finish quality cover over the poly styrene insulation?
Yup. High build epoxy primers are a pain to mix in the cans they’re supplied in. I’m not sure why someone would want to make that even harder by putting into a plastic jug.
Hehe, we love opinions - the more the better; just not the assumption that it’s correct without real evidence (not cherry-picked, biased or manipulated), that they can’t be challenged or see it things from another’s point of view. Most people on board have strong opinions and sometimes have to stand by them even when others disagree. LOVE ❤️ opinions!
The only thing I ever am critical of Australia based boat building channels is the lack of wombat footage! To be fair i also criticize the Australian wombat channels for their lack of boat building footage too. There is still time to be the first ever boat channel to show a wombat!!
Always when making a brew never make them on a metal surface or place them on a metal surface as they act as a heat sink, always place and make on a wooden board or any none metallic surfaces.
Hold that phone for just a minute.......I seem to be the benifiary of an incredibly rare event (for me at any rate), aka a brainwave! It was the insulation that did the trick! When you were talking about installing a second layer in the galley, inspiration struck! Another layer is a good idea, but does it really have to be inside? Why not put something on the upper topsides? For example, could there be any possibility of adding a few more solar panels? If not panels, how about the flexible, stick down variety? Consider this; at least 50% of your heat is probably coming off your sunstruck steel upper deck. Thus you have two unwanted heat sources - 1. Transferred heat from the external saunabath environment and 2. Irradiated heat 🔥 coming off the superheated steel of your topdeck! So, perhaps the solution to your biggest problem could yield a bonus of additional solar power! My wife and I are very happy with the results of our new solar system! We are finding that we can power up our aircon throughout the day without adding a zac to our power bill! In fact, it turns out that we are returning power to the grid. All for an all-in outlay of approx. $7000! Jess, I'm sorry to have to tell you this: I'm afraid the work on a boat is for all eternity! 😢 I know, it's a real bummer!
Hi guys Pete here from Melbourne we all know there are f--k heads out there just delete them people like me think u guys are doing a great job every thing takes time and most times you do things 2 or 3 times l know l do till l am happy or done properly chin up guys ❤👍👍
Serious question guys. Are you covering the Insulation with a good fireproof/fire retardant layer? Would hate to see a galley fire take out the vessel and fill it with poisonous black smoke and do for you all! Back in my days in the Royal Navy, next to a Magazine or Machinery Space fire, the Galley fire was the most feared emergency as it was a fairly large space in the centre of the ship and contained a lot of flammable oils. Also, Damo, I'm seriously disappointed in you not manufacturing some overly complicated electrical hot wire system for cutting the Polystyrene, so you didn't get those annoying little white balls everywhere! Also, the Coffee mug thing is completely normal......... the Egg cups...... not so much! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i stopped watching your vids because even though i know its a work in progress my OCD makes me pull out my hair i need to come to your boat and organize and unclutter the entire boat
You two are definitely the power couple! Great job knocking that insulation out.
Hi, Jess, don't take people seriously they talk a lot but they are not doing what you do. I love watching you guys build this boat. I wish I had the energy and go to do what you guys do. Love how you guys have everything and I have learnt so much thanks for that big time.
Yeah - there are always naysayer. Please don’t let them get to you.
The kind of people who are doing nothing of their lives but criticizing, who pretend to know everything, comfortably sitting in their armchair!
I’m not sure I could even tie my shoes with a migraine let alone cut and install installation. You absolutely rock Jess!
Don't worry about the remains of the insulation!
You just have to tell the guests that it is "coffee with surprise clouds"!!!
Hehehe!
Very good job.
Considering that boat was laying in the mud on the bottom of the river, I think your work speaks for itself.
Blood, sweat and tears, you guys have done an excellent job! Having a boat means that you are never done, there will be something that needs to be done.
I would love a J3 cup, I hate hot drinks-especially hot coffee!! ☕️ Great to see you both having some fun and laughs. Hope the headaches have gone and you’re both keeping well and safe.

You 2 are doing a grate job I have done boat work for years and no job is just simple when you live aboard hold your heads high love your vids
The difference in life ,your doing it ,living it ,the key board worriers ,never will .& your actually achieving…happy new year
Just wanted to say... sod the naysayers, I absolutely love your channel and what you do, it's an amazing project. Big love from the UK
I just love watching you work on the boat. I figure things will happen when they happen. Perfection is hilarious.
Feels more and more like a proper boat. Good job!
Hi bro, an sis, lots of know it all people out there, i bought a project boat and found that out, so what i done was nothing till the advice stopped ,enjoying working on my boat now an lots of coffee breaks , keep the dream going
Hey guys, It is said that we here in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA can get to nearly anywhere in the world via the Tennessee River, that runs through the city. So maybe we will someday see you here in Knoxville. Smile!
Bites you guys don’t have 1 inch PINK PANTHER foam board over there. So much easier to install with the same R value as the 2 inch styrene boards. Plus we stick them up with Great Stuff foam spray. 😎👉👉👉Keep up the good work with what you guys have down there. Prays and well wishes. Keep trucking on.
This was an amazing episode to watch and so entertaining. I realized I saw Damien develop dandruff while working in the kitchen while putting in the roof insulation. I’ve never thought about using the sink as a way to cut insulation but now my horizon has been expanded - you both are so amazing and use common sense to the fullest.
Jess! Mahalo Nui for allowing us to see how you live and work on the Brupeg. With much Aloha from Hawaii..
Hi Jess,most RUclips people let the comments create or feed the Algorithm,so unless they are really bad comments or language most let them role out and the other viewers tend to correct those Silly people .
Talking of the cold places to sail to ,have you seen
Alluring Arctic Sailing channe , certainly an eye opener.
With the renewed calls for the north west passage to be available for shipping because of the Panama canal issues the Suez canal and Red Sea dangers, alternative routes need to be made .l
It's great to see the pink shirt of precision being put to good use.
Thank goodness you picked a J1, I don't think a J2 would fit between your head and the proposed ceiling.
Walking around with a cup on your head, did you learn that at modelling school, for posture?
I always thought they used books.....
Insulation should always take priority over head room!

There's only one way to gain experience, and that's by doing, even if you get it wrong the first few times, eventually you'll get it right.
Could add copper pipe to hot area from water supply to pump cool water around may cool. Can do trail.
But many thinks to do .
Train stops at midnight so didn't visit.
Galley good to finish , engine room would hold heat but navigation area needs to be comfortable.
You can buy from bulk supermarkets. I use tip shop for many material needs 1/3 the price of bunning .
Would be nice to have a clean shinny surface in the galley.
Gumtree also handy for Aussie material sales or purchases.
Knowing what you need now away from a jetty makes the word priority have meaning.
Always impressed with good project builds
Your doing really well
But take in account that cooking grease and oils will stick to styrene turning it yellow, but a simple wipable foam safe gloss paint can solve that. If not paneling.
As my mom and dad said it takes as long as it takes to complete whatever it is you're doing
Jess you do an amazing job. My sister works in an offshore industry with pusher tugs very male dominated industry, and she fights that issue all the time from the guys borderline harassment with her and it’s sad and she’s probably a better tug captain than most of the guys I love your guys channel.
I have been following you guys from the beginning and sure do appreciate the amount of hard work that you’ve poured into this.
I have a question regarding the use of expanded poly styrene foam…. No doubt it has adequate thermal insulative qualities, but is not known for fire resistance, nor self-extinguishing properties. Is there a game-plan for a centralized halon or water fire suppression system in the future? Especially in the galley area? Or is the end game to install a fire resistant headliner over the foam? I can appreciate the cost benefit of using EPS over more costly fire-rated products for sure.
Keep up the good work!
You should look into getting an inexpensive hot knife setup for cutting the insulation. Has other uses as well but excels at cutting insulation and foam.

Argh. The sound of squeaking polystyrene. Amazing project. Look forward to each video. Keep up the great work at the pace and priorities you need.
Hi guys!
A big hug from the Basque Country in Spain!
One question, now almost all the ship's vital systems are finished or in the process of being finished in the short/medium term.
So.... Have you already thought about when you will be able to do your first scientific research project?
It would be great!
Come on, keep it up! There's less left to finish with all the details!
And please don't pay attention to people, they love to bother!
I am so adopting the “J1, J2,…” coffee mug system.😂
The insulation makes it all look lighter esp the kitchen - Is there another layer to go on top or outside of the insulation? Or do you just paint it?
That sort of looked like a steak knife Jess was using cutting her foam. 😂😂 Big Job. Will be a lot cooler.
I don't remember if you said these polystyrene foam panels are treated with fire retardant chemicals

13:27 You are only missing a handknitted motor cycle vest with flower patterns on it! 😅😅
Great job guys, I just can't help
Wonder if you painted the cabin sides and roof white that it would help massively to reduce heat transfer inside
One should never stick one's little finger out when drinking coffee, however it is mandatory when drinking Earl Grey Tea (with, or without, a slice of lemon).

just a thought, would a sealer be a good Idea due to salt air and spray. Love your channel.

I don't worry about it I'm not there so I don't know what all you have to go through just to be able to show me what little you can of what all it takes
Damien, I live in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada. I have been watching your channel since the beginning. Over these years I have wondered what type of insulation you have been using.

Hi Wayne, yes both covering it and it is flame retardant. Jess
It was something we forgot to mention in this episode but this is fire rated polystyrene.
Agitating the paint in the blue things? One does wonder how that works.
Not to be a downer but as a retired volly and here in the states polystyrene while a great insulator is extremely flammable, I worry about your safety especially in the galley. "Polystyrene foam, including expanded polystyrene (EPS), is considered a flammable material with a low flammability rating, typically classified as "B2" or "B3" which means it is highly flammable and easily ignited; therefore, it should not be used in exposed installations in construction without additional fire-retardant measures like covering it with drywall or concrete."
I miss Birk. Do you have any plans for him to join up in the near future?
Jess and Birk had a catch up yesterday. There is a possibility for sure. We miss him too!
Just a quick question was that a J1 ,J2,or a J3 coffee cup you used to show head clearance?
I’m of the opinion it was a J2😅
Actually J1, you can tell by the optimal height to width profile
Just a query - what's the fire resistance of that stuff like? Are you a chip pan fire away from the whole galley & then the whole ship becoming a raging inferno because the galley ceiling melted & burst into flame?
You probably have discussed this at some point, but doesn't the flamability or burniness or whatever 😉 of the polystyrene worry you? It used to be a popular material for insulation here but can't be used for walls or ceilings any longer. You could reduce the fluff you create when sawing the sheets by using a hot wire, a piece of nitinol and a power supply should do the trick, model builders do this all the time.
I get how you're saving space, but how are you going to reconsolidate these paints in the new containers?
Shake them aggressively like they do in the paint shops.
Grind the teeth off the cuts all blade and it will slice right through foam. No mess.
All this time and just now we find out Jess is lysdexic.
😂😂😂😂😂
Quick question are you going to cover the polystyrene?
Understanding the order of how things must happen in your universe, is there a plan to someday put a finish quality cover over the poly styrene insulation?
How do you expect to mix paints from those new containers, yes they store better, but don't allow good mixing later when you finally can use them!!
Decant into a open container and mix.
Yup.
High build epoxy primers are a pain to mix in the cans they’re supplied in.
I’m not sure why someone would want to make that even harder by putting into a plastic jug.
@@jeverich He explained why in the video.
You tie a rope to the can, send it overboard, crank the boat to 100, and drive through the waves. 5 minutes, TOPS. ;)
Hang on I have an opinion, not sure if it's a good opinion or not, since I'm not sure I'll keep it to myself :)
Hehe, we love opinions - the more the better; just not the assumption that it’s correct without real evidence (not cherry-picked, biased or manipulated), that they can’t be challenged or see it things from another’s point of view. Most people on board have strong opinions and sometimes have to stand by them even when others disagree. LOVE ❤️ opinions!
How do you mix that highbuild paint when it is in the bottom of the blue container - the mixerthingy will not fit ?
The only thing I ever am critical of Australia based boat building channels is the lack of wombat footage! To be fair i also criticize the Australian wombat channels for their lack of boat building footage too. There is still time to be the first ever boat channel to show a wombat!!
This is Jeff I would like to visit you at yeppoon if that is good for you I have been watching the rebuild for years
Hi Jeff. Once we know exact timelines for our Yeppoon stop we will put it out on the channel. Thanks Dame
Beautiful boat and attitude. I like the insulation
Always when making a brew never make them on a metal surface or place them on a metal surface as they act as a heat sink, always place and make on a wooden board or any none metallic surfaces.
Hold that phone for just a minute.......I seem to be the benifiary of an incredibly rare event (for me at any rate), aka a brainwave! It was the insulation that did the trick! When you were talking about installing a second layer in the galley, inspiration struck!
Another layer is a good idea, but does it really have to be inside? Why not put something on the upper topsides? For example, could there be any possibility of adding a few more solar panels? If not panels, how about the flexible, stick down variety? Consider this; at least 50% of your heat is probably coming off your sunstruck steel upper deck. Thus you have two unwanted heat sources - 1. Transferred heat from the external saunabath environment and 2. Irradiated heat 🔥 coming off the superheated steel of your topdeck! So, perhaps the solution to your biggest problem could yield a bonus of additional solar power! My wife and I are very happy with the results of our new solar system! We are finding that we can power up our aircon throughout the day without adding a zac to our power bill! In fact, it turns out that we are returning power to the grid. All for an all-in outlay of approx. $7000!
Jess, I'm sorry to have to tell you this: I'm afraid the work on a boat is for all eternity! 😢 I know, it's a real bummer!
Damien is a great husband for a “slightly” autistic person.
Very odd floatation installation.
Hi guys Pete here from Melbourne we all know there are f--k heads out there just delete them people like me think u guys are doing a great job every thing takes time and most times you do things 2 or 3 times l know l do till l am happy or done properly chin up guys ❤👍👍
Are you going to provide a sealing surface over the styrofoam? Hope you realize that if it catches fire, the fumes are extremely dangerous to breath.
Serious question guys. Are you covering the Insulation with a good fireproof/fire retardant layer? Would hate to see a galley fire take out the vessel and fill it with poisonous black smoke and do for you all!
Back in my days in the Royal Navy, next to a Magazine or Machinery Space fire, the Galley fire was the most feared emergency as it was a fairly large space in the centre of the ship and contained a lot of flammable oils.
Also, Damo, I'm seriously disappointed in you not manufacturing some overly complicated electrical hot wire system for cutting the Polystyrene, so you didn't get those annoying little white balls everywhere!
Also, the Coffee mug thing is completely normal......... the Egg cups...... not so much! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Put something easy to clean on top of the styrofoam in the kitchen... It will get very nasty in time.
i stopped watching your vids because even though i know its a work in progress my OCD makes me pull out my hair i need to come to your boat and organize and unclutter the entire boat
Happy to welcome an obsessive tidier aboard! Let us know when your flight lands and we can use the big scooter to pick you up
With all the exposed polystyrene on Brupeg the amount of microplastics in your bodies must be astronomically high.
i hope you never have a fire on the boat with that insulation you installed. rock wool would be a much better choose.
Except rockwool LOVES to suck up moisture, so any condensation would turn it into a wet mess.
