Nothing beats a crack in the roof, go Crobots to the rescue! 😊
haha...if anyone can make it worse than it already is
This would make a great tv series, you are both stars in my book.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment 😊
Becca has some amazing skills,and Chris you really stepped it up this week, and didn’t even rely on the Titan!!! The crack cover will look look great on the bow. I hope the crack on the roof is something that can be easily fixed. When is the Maverick coming back? Nothing against you two 😂😅 Have a good week. 🙏😊🤗 Kathy
yeah the Titan is my safety net, this week im just relying on my Brain haha the Maverick should hopefully be back in the next weeks to help fit that water tank he promised so long ago, thanks have a great week see you in the next one :)
You are doing a great job Beks despite the wimp😂
Oi it's very hard on my arm holding the camera 📷 😅
@@TheNomadicCrobot haha 😂 ok I believe you,thousands wouldn’t
Hi guys,
Just a quick reference to your cracking roof. I had the same on my boat and it turned out to be filler hiding a dent. If this is your issue you can repair it with filler because steel and filler don't expand and contract at the same rate. I'll wait and see what you find before I elaborate on how to fix it.
Love what you do and always look forward to your next vlog,
Robbie
Thanks Robbie, hopefully it's nothing to dramatic, it's one thing after another with these boat things 😄
Great progress. If you have an angle grinder you could cut those self tappers poking through. Shouldn't affect the hold they have.
that would be a great idea, I think Becca wanted to add a trellis type thing to that side were we could have some plantation growing up so they should really get in the way anyway, cheers Geoff
Multitool is what you need. Would have might light work of the cork
I think you may be right haha
Loving your videos, always good entertainment, keep going guys, after doing boats myself I'm surprised that there's not very much bleep bleep on the videos , you must be both saints 😇
haha.. were trying to stay positive...because its gone on so long now it just feels normal really...turns out one day will actually have a real boaty home cheers David
Wow serious DIY skills now. Great job rips.
yeah getting serious now Will hahah cheers :)
That little crack on your roof will be fixed in no time at all by one of the two Nomadic Crobot. I meen thats what life is about, fixing cracks that is.
Yeah we don't tend to panic a great deal, these things all seam to be part of wear a tear..becca will ha e it fixed in no time haha cheers Rolf
a hair dryer would work well , getting off the cork,,,, great job guys
Oh that's Intresting thank you will give it a wirl 😃
Another top video guys. Scary drilling into your future home, as I found out when I had to cut 2 big holes in the roof of my camper to fit the roof vents haha. Can’t wait to see the finished kitchen, gonna be EPIC!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, im terrified of drilling into the big bugger, but each one gets a bit easier ...watch my confidence grow haha Thanks Always buddy :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot haha definitely gets easier the more you do it fella. You are more than welcome 😊
Beck's the way you solve your woodworking is brilliant, both of you are doing great
Thanks Adam, she's so clever bless her 😀
@@TheNomadicCrobot your skills are coming along too. By the way self tapping screws have a drill bit point, remember to use a little oil for the old lube....
Thanks for the advice, all.very much appreciated 👍
Oh bloody hell chris ! More gaps to sort out ! Naughty naughty boat !! Your skills are coming on Chris and becca’s have always been excellent . Now come on, hurry up! Get the next vlog made ! Have a great weekend you lovely people you ! See you in the next one xx
Thank you Mandy...yeah I'm starting to get the hang of the DIY side if things a bit more, half the time it doesn't work but that's learning ,have a great weekend 😊
At first I thought the title was clickbait or meant your narrowboat "sunk". Good thing it's just your narrowboat sinks. ;-)
Haha...I mean we would never dream of a click bate title now would we haha...yes this week you couldn't get any clearer ...we're trying to make things up to everyone haha 😄
I always come to bed and watch my RUclips subscriptions that have come in. I get into bed and have a drink of water that lives beside my bed, that’s exactly what I did tonight. Well that’s the last time I’ll do that now I know the water has been squeezed out of the devils little red butt hole, I will never drink water again. LOL. Another great vlog guys, you two are amazing, I look forward to seeing the butlers dink installed, I’d love a butlers sink. 💕
im sorry for my foul mouth...but I had to be honest, people need to be made aware of were all this natural water is coming from ....just make sure you dont use the warm tap haha thanks for sticking with us....who knows maybe one day all the DIYY will be done :) see you Monday :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot. OMG no, I had a shower before I went to bed, you mean I showered red in the devils s#*t.
Haha sorry...the truth can hurt sometimes 😅 😈
@@TheNomadicCrobot. LOL
Differents between a Butler sink and a Belfast sink is that a Butler sink has no overflow 👍
ahhhh interesting thanks :)
I glanced at the thumbnail and saw the word sink, I didn’t see the sink, I saw the word sink, think boat! 🤣
Haha that caught quite a few people out...my intention was to make it as simple as possible ..but now looking back I could have just removed the sink and made it the click bate catch of the year haha cheers 🍻
Becca well done you loving the new kitchen sink. Hey Chris great job can’t wait to see the new covers. Must say we really love the Chanel all make us laugh take care
thank you for your lovely comment.we can't wait to get our new covers on, should hopefully be in the next week if were lucky yayyy take care
Nice one Chris.
Good to see your confidence growing with the power tools.
Becca has done an awesome job with the kitchen too.
Well done to both of you.
haha cheers Dave :)
How can you have only just discovered that massive crack that looks big enough for the hordes of hell to come through lol. Bad Wolf moment
I'm not sure really, we must have just missed it, one thing after another haha, will get there 😉
Becca, Chris , my goodness the both of you never stopped on this Vlog. The nobbley thingies look great and the new sink looks amazing. Love the supports for the sink. Well done both. Oh NO! Not a crack on the roof, but where was the fantastic dramatic music????? Amazing Vlog guys. So enjoyable. Thank you. Take Care.
Haha thank you, I can't believe I missed the dramatic music.yes it was busy one for both of us, it's all coming together just in time for winter cruising....fingers crossed haha 😄
Great job again Becca and Chris. 💚
😊 thank you
Hi Becca and Chris, I love seeing things re-purposed. The sink and supports are a perfect example. Nobbley things sound so much better than whats you call it. 😉 Hope you have a great week.
Thanks Penney one of Beccas top priorities is to reuse stuff, so she very happy, and im happy too with my selection of nobbly thigs haha have a great week
Totally mis-read the title of the video and thought that you and the wombat had sank into the canal before I realised it was Becca and her kitchen sink.
haha....I should have removed the sink and put a boat in there...the click bate would have been unreal haha cheers Martin
Crack in roof looks like small tubes of marine epoxy needed - grind a V in split for good bonding surface - After fix drink beer & beat on chest like Tarzan
haha now that sounds like a cracking idea...the problem is weve started to pick it off now haha
The problem with fitting some of those butler sinks on boats is that unless you build a high stand they're too deep. I've seen people fit them in the usual gunwale height sink position and they couldn't get the sink to gravity drain without putting the hull skin fitting too close to the waterline. Ideally you don't want to have to drain a galley sink with a pump. Always choose boat fixtures and fittings with the boat in mind.
yes its very true, in the end the mini one looked pretty perfect, but there's always a chance that more problems will arise, I mean its boat life after all haha thanks for the advice :)
Blimey the amount of work you guys are putting in is awesome, that boat is going to look amazing one day, that quick glimpse of you booze stash seems woefully short of cider, you need to sort that out. Great vlog.
Cheers Ian, we absolutely need to sort out the cider situation,we'll spotted, that's our top priority 😄 thank you
Glad to see progress and the kitchen is the heart of every home keep up the improvements hope the roof crack isn't past the layers of paint
fingers crossed its just the paint, your absolutely right its the heart of boat, exciting the were nearly ready to cook our first boaty roast :) thanks Phil
Also suggest using some silicone caulk/sealant around all those holes you drilled. Even if they don't overtly leak, water getting at the drill-holes = rust
Yes I think I'm going to have to go round them all, just today someone was telling me as over time it will rust,thanks so much 🙃
Should read "you can't repair it with filler", good luck
I can’t wait to see the finished kitchen! Y’all are doing a great job!!!
We're getting so close, exciting stuff thank you Shoan 😊
Omg, misread the title then, I thought you’d sunk!
no not quite yet haha cheers Pete :)
Another great vlog - slowly coming together after a mighty effort. The sink will look great, looking forward to seeing the worktop completed. Stay safe guys.
Thank you we both can't believe it's been a year already but I think things will start moving alot quicker now take care 😊
Ah yes, caught that "Titaned up." And you thought your viewers didn't pay attention. 😁
Thank you for noticing Peter, the Titan feels very privileged
Actually those screws were made to tap and drill through the metal. Great job guys keep up the good work.
Oh right so there actually for metal? They sat In very well so we were pretty happy with them,thanks Allen
@@TheNomadicCrobot Yes if you look at the pointy end of the screw its made to drill into metal. We use them all the time on our Tugboats. I am a Tugboat Capt in Texas.
WHO! Needs a Bath - Orrr a Shower - When You've got a dirty great Butler-Sink ?? 😉😂
exactly...I can't wait to climb in and have a wash haha :)
Maybe put a bucket under sink drain in case someone forgets and pours water into it? (Because you know it'll inevitably happen - at least it would in my house)
We have taken your advice...this is something that could soooo easily happen haha thank you
👍👌❤🇨🇦
Hi Guys, great video, good laugh as always. Well done Becca on a fine erection of your sink. We make cider on our boat too. Don't forget to put the overflow opposite side of the drainer. See you next time.
thats a good point actually, I did wonder if we had it on the wrong side, wouldn't the overflow just collect the water from the drainer?? so would drain the water anyway??thank you
@@TheNomadicCrobot Hello again, yes it would, it just seemed traditional to put the overflow on opposite side. Goodness knows why. Have a look at some google images of belfast sink installs. Hope you manage to fill that nasty crack. Look out for our boat when you do your world tour of uk networks (water level permitting). We both enjoy your theme and your journey. Our girl is 47 years old, ex hire boat, different engine now though. It's a lister 2 cylinder. We are constant cruiser's and getting ready for winter. I have got wood, collected and seasoned wood that is for the winter, kindly provided by nature. Few bags of coal for the fierce nights. My Mrs is just like Becca, very handy, creative, hands on and very keen on re-purposing and leaves me feeling a bit "Am I doing enough", but she seems happy enough being busy. Passers by must think I'm a lazy shit, but so what, we know the score. Enjoy your wet world as its great fun, we started out last year, at the end of May. Wouldn't go back. We both lived in vans before the boat, and that is how we met. Oops I've written a novel, I'll leave it there. See you next vlog. J n Jo
im not sure we can really more it now but ill have a chat and see if we can, I did wonder why they were always to the left, as you probably well know its one thing after another hahah woaw amazing were are you guys located?? were hoping for winter cruising but it could well be early next year, ether fun were having a blast with it all really, can't wait to take on boaty life properly :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot I doubt it will really matter, unless it upsets ones OCD? All the same it will look good. We're on Leeds to Liverpool network. Be great to meet up with you sometime. Have a great winter.
What have you planned for the one that's too big?
I'm not really sure, I think becca had some plans, alot of people use them for plant pots so we may just try to resist it again
Let's not sink here alltogether
Exactly haha
Hey dude. I know this us nerdy but do you know you are using a phillips screwdriver to fix the canopy clips? The screws are pozi not phillips. Whats the bl##dy difference i hear you shout. The phillips is a sharper angle, so when you twist it on a tight screw, you wear them out or break the screw. PZ1 or PZ2 of pozi, ph1 or 2 for american phillips. You will find it easier to tighten. Chuck the philips in the bilge!
Ps love the vids, we migrated to a tupperware fibreglas boat and she is now in france but ive done loads of work, new engines, rewire, replumb, solar, dashboard etc so message if you get up to skipton area. Id love to see your boat.
oh right...woaw...thank you so much, I just thought they were all the same...that would all make sense...it was very pointy and made it a bit tricker :)
thanks Andy, oh awesome ...I love the cruisers...I could easily have one...would be great to say hi on our journeys :)
thats what happens you cobble together stuff not meant to be used used like that... spend the money and do it properly
not quite sure what your referring to, would you like to elaborate ??
