    Do you ever have those days when everything seems against you?
    In todays episode, Chris wrangles the ups and downs of narrowboat living, wondering what life is all about.
    Our leak/condensation probing continues whilst we push on with the restoration of our houseboat the 'Whistling Wombat', determined to get her out onto the rivers and canals.
    Becks lack of smell works in her favour as she tackles reducing the size of the toilet as work begins on the bathroom spoiler alert - no disgusting toilet scenes to be seen here!
    You'll never see anything like it! #NarrowboatGoals

    Chris love your vids keep it up just a quick tip for using your saw... your holding it wrong... when holding the saw put your index finger forward of your grip. If you look, on the handle of your saw there's actually a black im assuming rubber type place for your finger to go... it gives you more control over your saw and also remember to use the hole length of the saw blade and kind of let the saw do the work by that I mean don't use it like an axe don't push down too hard on the saw you will just make it harder for yourself just guid the saw along your cut with a little down pressurebut a firm grip. Another quick tip for you if the wood your cutting is wet or damp... it can help if you rub candle wax on either side of yoursaw it stops the wood gripping your blade as easy. Hope this helps mate and as I've said keep up the Quality vids.

    Just a thought guys but have you considered mounting a computer cooling fan in front of wooden steps to move air and reduce condensation. Very very low amps and very quiet. I mounted one on box bed in motor home to stop damp on base of mattress.

    Hi Becca, Chris, Sorry you were stopped from going for a cruise, but as Chris always says, safety first, but had Chris put on his Marigolds and goggles, all may have been good!!! I'm very pleased for you that there seems to be no leak, so maybe you were spot on saying the water was condensation. Becca what an amazing job you made of re-scaling your onboard toilet. It looks great now in the smaller version. Chris, with any saw of that size you need to spray it before you start sawing with Mr Sheen (other Furniture polishes are available) and your saw will glide thru the wood easily. Do it on every usage. Loving the edit as always, and knowing all the time and hard work you put into it, and it certainly shows. Great to hear a smidgeon of Dramatic music as well as what appeared to be another dramatic piece? The sound effects are spot on, even if they last just a second. You two are the best. Thank you both for another entertaining Vlog. Take care.

      yes its looking very likely at this point but will have to wait and see, The new loo is amazing...next stop trying to jiggle my lovely shower tray in haha think I may need sawing lessons ??/ether that or maybe it was because I wasn't wearing my marigolds??/ less grip and all that? thanks so much for sticking with us we promise we will head out soon take care

    Can’t stand people who don’t like people who are happy and having a good laugh,you keep singing and strumming your guitar Chris…..ignore the haters.
    It’s good practice a bit of strumming anyway for extra curricular activities,hey Bex 😉 if you know you know 😊.
    I’d have to say condensation especially as it’s right next to your Fire,maybe it needs painting in there with a protection coating of some sort of Paint ?. Keep the Cold of the Canal out ? Plus some ventilation in the steps when they are fitted back on ?.
    Bugger that with a manual saw when you can have a portable battery operated one these days ! Either that or a Chainsaw 🤷‍♂️.
    I’m not far from Huntingdon and I was originally from Sawston near Cambridge,not many canal boats round the rivers where I was but we used to have plenty of fun with the Punts and the people who hired them Lol 😂.
    Had a boating holiday many years ago on the broads with my Dad and it was pretty epic,so much so we had another one the next year,great memories of that ❤.
    Not particularly in a position to own a Canal boat or live on one but I would if I could,cos even with all the problems it looks like a lot of Fun to be had.
    Oh if only I could win the lottery.

    Lots of corrosion everywhere on your Narra', maybe consider some new metal being welded to the inner bow section. That battery box needs urgent work and just for advice, never tip a battery on its side because inside the bottom of the battery is a ledge where bits drop off from inside the battery, by tipping the battery on its side causes the bits to damage the innards of the battery making it not last as long. About 4 years for most batteries. Now I know why you wear marigolds, to keep those fingers supple while you practise your David Brent guitaring.

    For those who don't like your singing, you can threaten to sing some Vogon poetry.
    If the moisture is condensation, you might want to consider coating the metal so that it doesn't rust. That would probably have to be some sort of spray, but better ask an expert before Crobotting it, then having to unCrobot it again.

      @@TheNomadicCrobot in the video of you in a band it looked as if you had gloves on possibly? I enjoy you and the spiders so much my son has a pet tarantula he keeps in an aquarium in his bedroom so everytime you see a spider 🕷 it brings a smile to my face. I worked as an EMT here in America for many years once a man called the ambulance for a airplane in his ear at 3 am well after taking him to the emergency room found out he had a roach living in his ear that was flapping it’s wings making him Hear a plane in his head? So I think of this guy every time you look for the spiders. Maybe use foam ear plugs at night for the peace of mind it will give you? My son says spiders eat other spiders so maybe release a big pet one on the boat them problem solved because it’s to big to crawl into the nose or ears. Best wishes, Susan

    Yeah, the romantic life on a narrowboat. Doing number 2 in a pile of sawdust, a shower with no presure so dripping yourself clean basicly and fixing one thing after another. I know. I lived on a boat for 10 + years, my mam and dad wanted to go chartering on the mediterranean with a Dutch brown ship as the are called. Because of the brown sails not the toilet. Anyway, soldier on, because the got the boat up and running perfectly after years and years of work.
    And then the went farming.........
    Even if it doesn't work out, and it will!! youre building on capital. And then you sell youre boat and buy a little house somewhere, and build that. Experience and a great adventure. What more do you want? So, on you go!

    The problem with your saw is you. Let the saw do the cutting! Use a shallow angle and don't force it! You could also use a Japanese saw that cuts on the pull stroke, but make sure it is made in Japan, not some American made knock off!

      Hi Bob, wow that's so expensive, I get the impression that that's why a lot of boaters are moving away from pump outs now as it's soon racks up. At the moment being on the marina we are able to dispose of our waste in the facilities there however we are thinking of installing a big composting bin perhaps in the engine bay to reduce it down for when we are on the cut. It sounds disgusting but is actually meant to be nowhere near as bad as you would think! We are still sort of trying to figure that out at the moment!
