535. I’m STUCK with my WRONG ceiling choice

- Basically I’m now needing to install two ceilings to make this work without spending a fortune on replacing it all. I still believe it will look alright once the trim is up so I’m carrying on

Not painful to watch ar all. I always admire your persistence and wide range of skills. The ceiling will be beautiful when finished. Thanks for sharing your tireless efforts - your videos are somehow oddly therapeutic for me. Cheers from Portland, Oregon.
Bless you saying that. May have just been enough to keep me going.
Have a great day
The new ceiling makes it so much lighter and brighter inside, hard work putting it up though, you deserve a medal for patience!
That chimney surround looks fantastic. It makes such a difference. Really classy. The white ceiling really brightens the place up too.
Take a slight pause on the ceiling to think if you have any doubt. This is your best time to get it right, as I'm sure you already know! You don't want to look up with regrets once everything else is installed around it. Good luck.
Very brave videos as ever, love the way you show it warts and all as it’s so much closer to real diy than what we see on so many other channels - well done 🙂
carpet fix spray glue would have made it easier I think but it looks good, good work pal
James bless you, having the wooden back has definitely made the ceiling look more durable. Keep going it will be worth it! 🤗
You have definitely improved your methods of construction design on this new boat/home. It’s going to be so stylish when completed!
Don’t worry about the music, people will complain about anything 🤣😂😆
I think it looks great mate, you’re smashing it. It really brightens up the boat. Looking forward to seeing it with the trim. Keep going, your one job completed closer to the finish
I know you're second guessing your choice, but you have second guessed a few things already and look at how great it looks so far! Keep up the good work. All the best from Missouri.
Love the chimney surround doohickey. Sets everything off nicely I have white ceiling in the back half of my boat and the light reflecting on it is beautiful. So once finished your ceiling will be a joy too. Plus I will be boating past you in a couple of weeks. I will give you a wave if you are around as I do so.
It already looks great, its now uniform and that's the critical thing. Also its light, roomy, gonna feel more spacious, it'll be good. Definitely think you were wise putting the ply behind it, be thankful for the comments, they've steered you well here, nice work and great content as always. You've not made a wrong choice ... or at least ... you pulled it out of the bag when it mattered, haha! Nice job!
As part of a small group who restore and operate 1960s BR Diesel Multiple units for the Midland Railway Butterley, I understand the frustration of panelling ceilings. However, the finish is fantastic and with the flue trim and lights in place you can really get a good feel for the final look. Far from putting up with it, you really should be proud of what you have achieved.
PS. Loved the music thank you.
Chimney ring looks good. I think the ceiling looks good too. It's a nice surface. Contrasts well with the wood walls. It'll be worth the effort in the end!!
Just keep going, it looks good on camera 😊 you ought to see the ceilings on our boat, you wouldn’t feel so bad about yours after that 😂
James. Please try not to be down about the ceiling. With the ply, it has helped, and the lightness and reflective tones enhance it all. Good luck with the rest 😊
Glad you opted for the ply. James, we like to see how real the struggle is so we dont have to go through it when/if we decide on something similar
Hi James - apologies only just viewed your last couple of videos - may be a bit late - great idea to us 3>6 mm ply on ceiling and the use of "Bathroom Panels Ceiling Cladding Shower Kitchen" is the way we went as panels are 2600mm x 250mm & 5mm thick - this allows ceiling to walls (with small trim / we did use hardwood timber) attach to ceiling / ply via staple & use stainless which allows invisible fixings & no uneven areas on face side of boards. Remember do treat 3>6mm plywood with clear treatment as per internal walls. Can send photos of end result & ps easy to install! Regards George
Keep cracking James. Setbacks are just that, everything will get done and if all once is said and done and you aren’t happy then you can always replace the ceiling in a few years time. Once it’s all done it will look fine chap. Don’t let your head drop, bollocks to Alan et al. We go again!
Well Jamie’s it looks so nice hope you can follow the advice of sticking it to the ply then only do once but tc I no you will get there to chin up brush yourself done and get on has you always do luv from the oldies 👍🤗👍🤗
So glad you went with the 3mm ply route for the backing, James. It by far looks so much better, I know you are haveing doubts. But once the ceiling is completed and all the trim is in place you will then see it in it's full glory. But for now it looks a solid looking ceiling. 😋👍🍻
Boat starting to take shape keep the good work up
I think any tongue and groove panelling would close the full interior in on you. Thatll be spot on once its done
Keep up the good work James 😃
great job and the right decision to use ply costly but cheaper than foam. at least you must sleep well after all the work and it keeps you fit.🙂
Can't believe some of the negative tosh in these comments. The music is great, I loved it. Beautiful harmonies. So what if it's not to everyone's personal taste - What music is? Why be so rude about it?
I think the ceiling will be absolutely fine when you get the trim battens on it to contrast the white. T&G would just be too much wood everywhere to my mind. Keep crackin' on mate, it's a very engaging watch. 👍
Thank you. This is pleasant to read and fills me once again with good vibes. All is well over here - I think I’m going to try one more thing with this ceiling before giving up. I’m still it happy with it but I’ll persevere
Hope you’re having a lovely weekend
Thanks again
It’s looking good it will look when you have finished and you will be pleased 😀
I think the ceiling looks great! It brightens up the boat!
LOL sure you said a naughty word when you blew the dust off behind the fireplace🤣
Sweary Jim 🤣
i think it looks great. good job! keep going. you're just in a dip, i'm sure when you look back it'll be worth it
Looking good James, that ceiling looks hard work doing it on your own, but great once it’s up! You’ve got a lot more patience than we’d have lol. Will you be at Crick this year, if so we’ll see you there! xx
Hello you guys
I hope you’re both well. Sadly i won’t be at crick this year. We were really tempted but sadly it can’t happen. I hope you have a great time there and I’ll have to live it through your channel - thanks
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt aww that’s a shame, I’m sure we’ll catch you out on the cut one day soon! In the meantime we’ll keep watching your progress, the boat’s really coming on leaps and bounds now, you’re doing a grand job! 👍 xx
James put the pvc on the ply before you put it up that way it will be flat and perfect no bumps or ripples. Use spray glue to adhere it to the ply.
The ceiling looks really good and will look even better with the trim. You could add stainless strips to the trim to tie it in with the chimney ring.
All will be well James. The ceiling will look really good when finished like the rest of your work. I am worried personally having followed you so long how you manage financially with 2 ex partners and a handful of lovely kids? Anyway many thanks dor the Happy Days you have given me and many others. Many more ro come for sure.
I bloody love it ! … And that ring 😍
If you look at 'The Voyage of Lydia' vlog, he put in the same ceiling, but has a strip of wood going down the middle, and also some other wooden trim - it looks excellent, so maybe that might be a good idea? (don't know if you already planning something like that, but it breaks up the expanse of white, and also gives the panels some support)
Looks great to me! Especially the flu mount 😊
Start over! You will live to regret it. My opinion
The ceiling looks good mate now you have a run and does well for the lights, the ply was a good idea and once the trims on it will make the white spaces smaller and it will look good I think, you could always change it later if you dont like it. Keep at it mate, before you know it you will be nice and cosy in there
Wow James the wood ring for the flu looks absolutely brilliant, well done sir, I have always admired your work ethic right back to Slow Patrol'e new base plate.. Stay safe.......................
Me personally ,that ring you made to go around chim , id have recessed the metal ring to sit flush with the wood . Plusbid have used something like evo stick to bond it to wood ... but still looks good ,James.
Still think you should be using bulk two-part spray foam instead of the cans. It's the same stuff, but significantly cheaper in that packaging.
wow - haven't watched for ages - your boat is looking really good - love the ktichen - it will be so much more comfortable for you and your kids hey...you got the skeels...
you sound a bit down, but it looks stunning on camera! All looking really nice!
I thought you were going to use tongue and groove then it’s easier to access if need be !
There is some low expansion spray foam (pink in colour) that's commonly used for sticking sheet to some backing. I've used it and it doesn't go quite so crazy as the usual stuff!
That’s it mate a better surface for you to work on.. and will look better as well.. x
Looking great hope you are pleased.
Thank you William - I am pleased with your comment
Have a great day
Better without the music imho
Have to agree was very distracting found myself turning the volume off very chaotic, not taking anything away from her beautiful voice just over powering (personally speaking)
Launch it in the bin and grab some pine tongue and groove. Buy or borrow a electric furniture nailer and paint when finished. The PVC looks like it came out of a municipal toilet. I have seen it done various ways on other boats and it always looks crap.
I suspect James hangs around municipal toilets for fun.
Nice one James.
Where did you get your extendable props from please?
That work has got to be exhausting overhead!
It is and I’m doing it twice
Nearly half way
well i think the ply idea is great and it seems to helped you out only diffrence i would of tried would of been to spray adisive the pvc panels up aswell as the screws so that will help to stop any sagging further on etc but dont put yourself down once trims etc are all in it will look 100 percent
Is sheep’s fleece wool insulation suitable for boats?
I know it’s used in old houses as it breathes & old houses seem to suffer from as much condensation/damp as boats do, well my old house does 😂 Just thinking that fleece insulation is easy to stuff into gaps the same way spray foam can
The ring above the flue looks fab!
If you have the spray foam on the under surface of the ceiling to stop rust, can you then pack the space with rockwool? Put ply up first then stick the pvc to it.
Glad to see you took SOME of the advice. However, any reason you didn't bond the laminate to the backing? It's going to droop and show up the uneveness IMHO. Good luck through.
I did bond it mostly
Any reason you couldn’t use rockwool instead of spray foam or foam panel boards then ply?
Good choice with the ply. Why don't you just leave it at that mate?
You have lovely woodwork throughout the boat just keep that theme.
The white bording looks to clinical what about if you looked at some thin tong and grove lengths to match the other lovely wood
Ceiling will look great when it's done
Looks like a pita, but it'll be done soon enough. I'm sure it will look good when you're done. The effort will make it look better.
30 days James. Believe me 30 days is when whatever you do looks like its always been there and you don't even notice it anymore. I have worked on this principle for years, it works! think about it, how many times have you not really liked something, and after about a month you don't even think about it anymore.
You may have made the wrong choice of ceiling but it looks bloody good. All that reflected light will be wonderful through a dull winter and it looks terrific. I hope you are going to reap the benefit by living in it or is it money making venture?
What temperatures do you normaly get from the top of your flu pipe where it meets the cieling? I see it is wrapped in fire proofing too.
I like what you have built with that collar , i was just concerned with the safety .
Did you put the heat tape around your flue pipe at the ceiling?
Do you have drop ceilings in the UK? They are used here a lot, you put up an aluminum grid system very light weight and then slide panels in to the grid, panels are different sizes , 2ft x 4ft or 2x2 panels. They are easy to cut and you can replace panels as needed. Also lights can take the place of a panel where needed. You would lose a couple inches but it looks like you have room. Would be so easy.
I saw the pvc on a boat the other day and it looked good, I think it was mounted on ply because it didn't show the screw marks. It must have been stuck to the ply.
We used adhesive on ours. The screws showing really let it down.
Wasn’t there a cable tie at the top of the flue
Tough when you persevere with a job like that only to feel it's perhaps not quite a good as you would like it to be. To be honest, personally it it had been me I think I would have used that T&G plastic. A bit thicker and easier to work with. I seen it on a number of RUclips narrow boats.
What would of been easier would have been the spray house insulation kit, about £300 but you could of done the whole boat
What’s the song?
Did you have to use sprayfoam ? could y ou have used another way of insulating the ceiling ?
Given the abomination of the ‘soundtrack’ on this video it’s safe to assume that James has no musical taste.
Jame get a good contact Adhesive.
James it looks great, please don’t be too hard on yourself. Have a lovely evening ☺️
I think the ceiling is mint , you are half way through this , and it always looks mad when you get half way through anything . theres always a doubt , but , as you say , once the coving goes in and the rest of the decor , you will love that ceiling ,.
It looked hard in the bringing but you and your team did a super job to give That boat some love and new life !.
👍
Is the point of the plywood both to provide a firm backing for the white ceiling material and act as insulation? Don't drive yourself bonkers; the ceiling will be great when it's done and trimmed out. The wooden ring for the flue looks very smart.
Looks good enough to me James. As others have said compared to my 60 year old boat your looks just fine. Don’t listen to negative numb nuts on here. They just rage on pure jealousy. It’s all they have to offer in their miserable lives, pulling others down trying to elevate themselves. Namaste.
Is the wood you are using for the flue, fire safe?
@@alanrichardson1672I was concerned that the heat from the pipework from James stove might catch fire . Flame Retardant paint and coatings are materials crucial for protecting wood from heat and fire. They're widely used in the wooden industry to protect homes with finished, wood walls.
@@alanrichardson1672 sorry , Im not a professional and couldnt do that . I just checked on Google . I think you would need to ask a company that makes it .
You are a hard worker. I think the ply looked great but then you put the pvc back. Please switch them pvc then the plywood it will look great. I’m sorry but the pvc just doesn’t look good.
I like the white and you're doing great. The background music today, I didn't like so much. Play your Dad's instrumentals.
The ceiling choice aint wrong , dont you wonder what itd look like with maybe ,wood trim to match the walls ..... bit like a tudor house effect ?
@@alanrichardson1672 anything would look better than ,where the plastic sheet has recessed , I feel his pain ,in the mistake
I like the music, very catchy with real feeling and emotion.
You sound rather depressing.
You sound like your missing your dads todger.
Sorry didnt like the music. The diy is fab though ❤
Great ceiling. Dreadful music!
Music's good
That music is awful better with out it kev
Very chaotic
I kinda liked it
Muted the music.
It was haunting and beautiful. I'd download it for sure.
I really liked it.
💜💙💚
Lovely, lovely music. Who's it by?
Love the videos, but can you tell me more about the music and where I can get it from? Cheers
Painful to watch, and painful to listen to. Sorry Katy, but that sounded like a funeral dirge.
You should have listened to us, James. A lot of time and money down the shitter.
Lesson learned.
All the best, mate.
That "music" is the most depressing thing I've ever heard.
Funny how so many people have made comments on the music from this video. I personally LOVED it. For those asking who it was by it did say near the start of the video. Someone called Katy.
It's not painful Jimbo. I admire your persistence and creativity bud carry on James
P.s what was the music in the video? It was fantastic
Love the music and the ring
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
i like the music who is it please
