Good to see the gas finally in and working. I'd have a rethink about your bottle strategy if I were you - I'd run on the 13kg and use the 6kg to keep you going until you can get a 13kg refill. Switch back to the 13kg one when replaced and relegate the 6kg back to backup duties...
That is definitely NOT, the way to do it! 👎 13kg in use, runs out. Use 6kg and replace/refill 13kg. When 6kg empty change to 13kg and replace/refill 6kg. Simple, and, your spare is always full and of a known capacity. Ideally, both cylinders should be of equal size and capacity.
James - love your videos. I've watched them all. But, and I mean this most sincerely...... You're on episode 135. Time to get your microphone sorted out.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear James, happy birthday to you. Have a great day. Present is on its way but Amazon said delivery was 13/14/15 March! Not giving anything away but it is grey and has two arms. ENJOY x
Significant strides forward lately James, you must be delighted. The inside looks great but that stern area needs covering properly. winter ain't over yet.
I love the homespun painted look, especially on older/renovated boats. You can completely change the look of the place with a different colour when it needs freshening up. Some of the boats have expensive wood fit outs but make me think of coffins . . . . . it's the shape maybe! Bamboo is nice though. :)
Must be great to have that hob working at last. And the walls are losing their 'just put in' appearance and beginning to look more like a home. You must be very pleased!
Looking really good. You'll soon be moving down the cut at the rate you're going. The hob cover should act as a gas cut off and hence extra safety and also act as a splashback.
Hi James another good vlog just thought I might say that I always use a white Matt emulsion as a primer undercover works great and costs next to nothing.I personally would use the 6kg bottle as a reserve as the price of a refill is almost the same as a 13kg bottle also not all places or fuel boats on the canal keep the 6kg size
Here again I am in agreement with a post ! I have never seen fuel boats or marinas supplying 6kg’s usually used in caravans and campers ! As Big says only use the 6kg as the reserve ! The smaller the bottle the dearer the refills are !! 13kg’s are far more easier to source !!
Hi Jamie keep um coming the vlogs and if you get a chance because of condensation and close to you water tank get yourself a dry mat to go under your bed they realy help ok stay safe 👍
I would respectfully suggest you paint the inside of your cupboards white like the rest of the galley. When you fill the shelves, the area will become dark and will make sorting contents difficult, especially at night or without natural light on gloomy days..... just a suggestion.
@@YallAintRight I currently do concert video, but I've been a concert sound engineer since I was 15... So I have a bit of experience with wireless microphones.
I´m sorry but I cant watch james paint , bigger brushes and not cheap ones , and much more care wouldnt go a miss really wish him luck with the top coat hopefully sanded down between coats wet `n` dry etc
Ok, the undercoat (primer) is white, will the final color also be white or will you surprise us? Wood (Mahogany, oak or etc...) trim around the hatch, windows and roof panel seams would contrast nicely. ;-) She's getting there, slowly but surely.
Check that cooker lid doesn’t operate a gas switch off device . If it does, you might (not certain) but you might find it doesn’t pass a gas safety inspection if you have removed it. I don’t know for sure about boats, but worth checking that I’m wrong before you frisbee the lid out of the window.
that wood standoff below the locker is very hinky they make a very nice standoff for exactly that purpose. someone that does a neat job where it will essentially never get seen; is the best.
Great vlog as always James, though I must say the bit towards the end was like watching paint dry! 😉 Glad to see things are eventually on the boil for you. Had to laugh when I heard you say swindlers! Some of those chandlers are bloody rip-off merchants, ready to pry on the uninitiated, i.e., people new to the boating fraternity, and scoop as many pennies as they can from their wallets. Well, at least you’re cooking on gas!
I hadn't asked what you were going to call it because I thought you might be waiting till you left for London, I have been trying to guess what it is. Please don't call it "Spagbol" 😄 only joking, when we get our boat it will have a tongue twisting name, but that's not for a while yet.
Good vlog.. how is the gas locker secured to the steel work ?.. incidentally, thought the test point was supposed to be as close as practically possible to the appliance.. ie. after the shut off valve..
Hi James, I discovered you channel with ep. 130 and spent the last week thoroughly enjoying binge watching everything from the start. Although I have a question for you. What are you planning to do about the joins of the ceiling panels, they do look a bit unsightly. Cheers
Whichever it is, if he's planning on running an instant water heater with a decent output, it's too small. It needs to be 15mm minimum from the regulator to the water heater.
The water heater if I do go for one would be running on separate pipes and possibly from an additional locker too. These are 8mm pipes and as Sarkybugger says - too small for the heater
James, have a look at "Ausie boater's" latest video, it's only 1;49 long. He has just got himself a new fridge. Its a proper 240v one. They are much cheaper than boat ones and it's got a nice freezer compartment. I don't understand the different electrics AC, DC but he explained it well.
A 240 v fridge will mean having inverter on 24/7 . Ok if your hooked up to mains most of time. If you're continually cruising 12v DC for as many appliances as you can will help to conserve electricity.
@@stevemumbling7720 Small bottle runs out use big bottle buy little bottle, Big bottle runs out use little bottle buy big bottle always have gas. Your way...... one day both will end up empty.
@@claire4486 The small one holds 6kg of gas, the large one holds 13kg of gas... so if he uses the small one as the main one, he'll have to change the small one 2.16 times as often as the large one. Logic would suggest the large one is used as the main one.
@@stevemumbling7720 You're completely missing the point. He just swaps them over when empty, replaces the empty one whichever it is then he will always have gas as he will near enough always have a full bottle there. There isn't a main tank they are both main tanks.
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt thanks mate ill try and sort something out for you in the next month or so its lovely to see you getting on so well with the boat and saving her and getting her back on to the water
I have to agree the sound quality on several vblogs has been very poor ! I have wanted to follow them but straining too much and so skipped past them :-/
you did not buy enough tea bags are we wickes promoting will they be sending you a cheque soon for painting just have a bigger brush would go much faster do we feel that work is taking longer than you think it would take
I always liked the Zinzer product, but with so much wood to soak it up, I can see how that would get expensive. If you don't have any oils in the wood, there's no reason not to use a cheaper alternative--it will make whatever paint you use over it look amazing.

Love the making tea with a knife and the half ton of tea bags. Enjoying the progress on the boat.
It is looking much better with the top walls in. I think I would be tempted to use the big gas bottle and just use the small one for emergency use.
agreed, that seems like the most sensible option
@@EDOOB But after several emergency uses its nearly empty and you end up with 2 empties if your not careful?
@@EDOOB You need to think about this!
@@marcjenner2378 Exactly!

Prices from Calor web site:
6kg propane = £23.45 = £3.91/kg

James. The boat is really coming on. Well done
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉 have a good one, as best you can. Enjoy your spag bol 🍝. Best wishes, Janet Kell x

Bravo James--the kitchen is wonderful! Agree with you above the cover for the hob--just use it when you need some extra counter space for some reason.
You look so chuffed, amazing to see so much coming together. Take care.
Starting to look like home, great video James as always
New skilled added to Jame’s CV: making tea with a bread knife 🤣
It’s technically a spray foam sword
I would not be so fast to discard the electric kettle if I were you. It does not take up that much room and is good to have as a back-up.
Agree 😁 we carry both types of kettle in our campervan, always revert back to electric when on EHU
12v shoreline fridge with freezer compartment. Last for years, use very little power. Great fridges James.
Taking shape now. Should be a brighter in the boat with the lighter coloured primer.
Hi James. Gas at last 👍🏻 Some good hot food now woohoo 🙌

Good to hear the whistling in the galley. Cheers/

Hey ! Isambard James Brunel !!!
Where's our Saturday breakfast edition?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD BEAN.
Remember that the hob cover doubles as a splashback that will stop fat spitting into the living area!
He's already flicked white paint in that direction, so why not some fat? : o)
Well James a nice birthday present 5.000 subscribers well done mate.👌👍
Great vid. Haha never seen anyone stir the tea with a bread knife before 🤣.

You missed a trick there James as Yorkshire Tea may have been interested in sponsoring you if you left the huge bag on display 😂
Ssh, part of the deal was that James had to keep quiet about it...
Save me that kettle, I’ll trade you for it tomorrow 😉
Is the gas 10mm or 8mm? (Just curious for my own future reference)
Whichever it is, if he's planning on running an instant water heater with a decent output, it's too small. It needs to be 15mm minimum from the regulator to the water heater.

@@mauricewatts2380 He (Aussie boater) says that the inverter draws about .5 amp?
I think the small gas bottle should be the reserve. Just use the small one when you take the main empty bottle for replacement.
That's a sure way to eventually find the small bottle empty and unable to supply your needs, until a replement can be obtained!
Think about it.
@@timstewart8690 You're right, much more fun changing the small bottle every week.
