James, I’ve been watching this channel for multiple years now from near the beginning. You have an awesome vision and I know that you’ll find your way to the endpoint of each part of project 58. I do have concerns though that you might have a little bit of tunnel vision when it comes to certain things. Firstly, the thing that so many people have been mentioning from the very beginning of project 58: There needs to be mold remediation in the boat before you construct more things for the mold to attach to. Another concern is the fact that the galley cabinetry is mostly freestanding from the wall built with the facia first and no solid framing aside from batten glued to the facia. Typically how you build a floor cabinet is you frame it out and then put the facia and countertop on. Anchoring the whole thing to the wall should be a priority. Another concern: using L brackets to take the strain off of the thinner bits is something I cannot stress that needs to be done, especially around the drawers. Even cabinets in houses that sit on a concrete slab have L brackets to keep them square & reduce strain on the screw & glue joints. I know you are working full-time and taking care of the kids and managing two whole boats while building one out to replace the other. I know it can be a lot to think about and to get your head around. I just want the best for you and Kids and the future of you living aboard project 58. I cannot stress enough how much the children should not be on board that boat until thorough mold remediation is undertaken. I know I am coming off very very strong here with recommendations and opinions, but it is only because I give a damn I hope you can understand that. Please take care and keep on trucking with Project 58. I believe in your ability to see it completed.
You don't need a door in front of the washing machine. I recommend you remove that floor baton in front of the washing machine and scoot the machine forwards flush to the exit to make it more accessible and look better. Also, when you put the floor tiles down you can install tiles in and under the machine and maybe up the sides to make it a proper wet safe area because eventually the washing machine will spill some water. Same for the fridge.
in the bottom movable shelves , drill a hole in one so you can push your finger into it and lift it out . The whole kitchen is amazing and sleek James , Im well impressed .
James, you need to put 3 metal washers under your stove fan just to lift it off the hot plate. I have a warp 5 and this is what they recommended. The hot plate is too hot for your fan.
James your handy work is looking fab... The stove fan .. you could always get one of them cast iron ,kettle stands .. you use to stop pans/kettles ,scorching your kitchen top ... that say 1cm clearance ,maybe enough to protect the fan from too much heat.. Plenty of people go this route... as its a working scientific way that truely works .. cheaper than replaces fans over and over ... pardon the pun ... give it a whirl
You seem to be making it difficult to repair /replace the washing machine and / or to fix any leaks. I think the idea of pulling it forward flush with the cabinet front and doing away with the door would look ok and be more practical not to mention making loading and unloading easier.
On your washing machine door. Have you thought of putting a cover (door) held by magnets like you did in, I can't remember where, in Sloe patrol. So you can just remove the door out of the way while the machine is working. Then the door isn't in the way of the walk through. I can imagine getting very annoyed at that door and having to dance around it when I realise I've left some washing else where and have go and get it .
Absolutely love the way your channel community has come together with suggestions for you, and compliments on how your vision is taking shape. I think the suggestion about the magnets 🧲 is a good one to look into. I also agree with metal disks or shims under the fan. Will you have room, maybe under the dinette for a pull out freezer? I saw a video by a marina selling a Narrowboat, I think, where there was a low freezer that was on wheels that fit out of sight under the eating area. Nice clip of you outside. Take care. 🤗😊 Kathy
James just a thought but you can get runners for the washing machine to sit on.. Which lock in place..when you pull out or push back the machine... Anyway James keep going as you are not far away from the finish line now..
Hi James, Vertically split doors in front of washing machine? It'll be more practical when both doors open to reveal the machine, but their narrow width won't block the galley when open, or conflict with the machine door when it's open/loading clothes etc. The smaller doors will also evenly distribute their lighter weight onto their respective mounting upright, causing less strain, or movement on your cabinet fronts. Just a thought. Keep up the good work. It's all coming together nicely
Galley's coming along really well, you've done a great job James. I'm not sure if it's too late now, but some led strips running on the underside just above the kick plate would give an amazing soft light corridor, would emphasize the effect of the curves and flow of the Galley.
Nice tp see ot coming together i realised there's a long way to go yet but seeong the galley near completion os a hige step forward...well done 👍 Arthur Narrowboat Tranquility
Did you say counter worktops flush to base unit. Id overhang them just over an inch if you can or if you fit shorter router a capillary Grove underneath tops to disperse any water running down units?
James, you should be wearing gloves when handling the raw fiberglass. Particles may worm their way into your skin, very hard to remove, if you even can. Keep up the good work! It's very impressive so far🙂
Assuming that's the stove fan I sent you, if it fails, I can't afford to send another... sorry. ;-) I still can't see how you'll access the cloths washer detergent/softener tray, with it sitting so far back? I just had a thought (likely too late); maybe place the cloths washer on sliders so when you need it, open the door, pull it out far enough to access the detergent/softener tray?
Because we in general have smaller fridges here, we don't have food deserts so people don't need to stock up for a month when they do the trek to get groceries. Plus there's not exactly a lot of space on narrowboats.

I’ll add a hole - thanks for the kind words

Enjoying the content and love been doing a daily update,back to old days of sloe patrol.

Oh yeah !! Mate you’ve sorted my dilemmas about various hinges - I’m going for magnets again. Thanks 🙏
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuiltyeah magnets!!!🧲
Think about having the door open the same way as the washing machine door... or filling/emptying it will be a real squeeze!
Yeah that’s true
Hi get 180° hinges for washing machine door.
Lookin good James, top job.

I reckon the finish line is some way off still pal!! Thanks mate for watching

James, what about a roll top door in front of the washer/dryer? It could go under the counter. It would save on space. - Martha
Drill a little hole in the bottom shelf pinky size so you can pop it out more easily out of site 👍
Nice tp see ot coming together i realised there's a long way to go yet but seeong the galley near completion os a hige step forward...well done 👍

Hello Arthur - thanks
Oh and thanks for keeping the vlogs coming. I'm doing minor (compared to you) work on my narrow boat and like to see how you are doing yours.
Did you say counter worktops flush to base unit. Id overhang them just over an inch if you can or if you fit shorter router a capillary Grove underneath tops to disperse any water running down units?
What a transformation in the last couple of videos, great job James
Well done James catch a break you looking tired again tc the oldies 🤗👍
Looking good James.
I’m intrigued to see how you’re going to make the drawers next to the washing machine.
Yep just finished watching that lol.
James, you should be wearing gloves when handling the raw fiberglass. Particles may worm their way into your skin, very hard to remove, if you even can. Keep up the good work! It's very impressive so far🙂
Its actully starting to look good i wasnt sure at 1st well done
Drill a hole in each shelf to run some LED lights later
💜💙💚
Looking good mate. The shelves looks banging
A finger hole in your bottom shelf would make it easy to remove
Coming along nicely.
too hot mate... raise it up with steel shims or another plate.
Looking good.
Looking great
If your washer door and cupboard door open opposite to each other you'll be working boxed in?
Top work Fella😎😁👍
Assuming that's the stove fan I sent you, if it fails, I can't afford to send another... sorry. ;-)
I still can't see how you'll access the cloths washer detergent/softener tray, with it sitting so far back?
I just had a thought (likely too late); maybe place the cloths washer on sliders so when you need it, open the door, pull it out far enough to access the detergent/softener tray?
to me it looks very Art Deco ... I'm waiting for Monsieur Maigret to appear
A couple of finger holes in that bottom shelf maybe?
are you still considering having a separate freezer from the fridge to allow for more provisions for hungry kids?
James, I know it was a long time ago, but what batteries did you put in Sloe Patrol for the house bank, please?
Question why don’t you guys have bigger fridges on your narrow boats ?
Space...
Because we in general have smaller fridges here, we don't have food deserts so people don't need to stock up for a month when they do the trek to get groceries.
Plus there's not exactly a lot of space on narrowboats.
@@YaaLFH yeah just asking in Australia our caravan had a normal size fridge i thought it might of been the weight thing with the water
👍👍🇨🇦❤️
