    Never cease to amaze us James. Sure it will look the Dogs B's when it's finished off.

    What a beautiful few starting seconds of this clip. The colours are real autumn. And that sky behind the trees. Nicely done James.

    It's coming along well. You might take some of the curtain fabric with you when you shop for the cushion covers. The staff in the fabric shops will have plenty of recommendations re sturdiness of upholstery fabric, ease of cleaning, etc. (And we'll have to survive without observing any more sewing.)

    That will be really nice when you finish it James. The foam looks pretty dense for sitting so real comfy for you and the kids. Also the slant of the back will be a relief because even with the pillows you still get that awkward bump of the wall above. So great change to kitchen area. Little bits at a time will get it all done. Your boat is looking very smart. Cheers.

    James you should wear a mask when using the spray on glue, hope you don't suffer from a woozy head or sore throat later. The dinette will look great once you have put fabric on cushions. Why not consider covering them like a pillow case cover with press studs to close, that way you can remove to wash them.

    Great work James. I am sure the children will appreciate it. Add an insert for Ava, and she will have a nice place to sleep. Looking forward to your fabric and color choice….which will inevitably cause a massive discussion. 😂😅🤣 Have a good week, and thank you for posting this. 🙏😊🤗 Kathy

    I’m thrilled you’re back working on the inside of the boat! But I was concerned with you breathing in that spray glue. Hopefully no headaches afterwards.
    Love what you’re doing!
    When finished, please do a walk through again so we can see everything. Thank you 🙏

    • @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt
      @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt  2 года назад +3

      Yeah I’ll do a walk through very soon.
      I breathed in some fumes - seems a shame not to but I was fine thanks

  • @billyslide7645
    @billyslide7645 2 года назад

    Grand opening scene, just lovely. Like what you’re doing. Was thinking, could you put a 1/4 or 1/2 inch strip of foam down in ‘storage’ space behind the backing? Keep gear from rattling or give a guitar some vibration cushion (of course I’m looking our for your guitars 😊)

    May be it might be worth adding something to prevent heads resting back on the walls? Natural oils in the hair cause havoc with paint! (Just a thought). It’s so lovely seeing you continue with home improvements, well done you 👏🏻👏🏻’Ye King of Wing’ 😂

    "opposite of dense" - that got me, and I looked up various dictionaries - turns out to be a difficult number, and the nearest I could get was "airy" or (in this case) "spongelike".

  • @buridanjwh

    if you want wipe clean fabric, just get any old fabric and spray it with scotchguard a few times, works a treat.

  • @DEmma1972
    @DEmma1972 2 года назад

    Nice. Dont forget the big buttons that get used in the centre of seats (which I think hold the fabric in place and decoration)

  • @competitiverteam

    James if you put another board the exact same size and thickness behind that then all the things you store won’t be seen. It could be permanently installed and then magnetize the board with the foam to it.

    • @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt
      @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt  2 года назад

      I was thinking that but there may be an occasion when I need the full bed and this way I can remove the back cushions and it’s clear

  • @bluedeva
    @bluedeva 2 года назад

    I would definitely recommend using a staple gun to put the fabric on and not the spray glue as sometimes the glue can come thru the fabric and/or leave a yellow marks where the glue is. If you find some nice upholstery fabric you can buy Scotchguard Spray which will protect the cushions from spills and stains and keep them looking cleaner 🤓

  • @sharonhiggs3248
    @sharonhiggs3248 2 года назад +2

    The velvets that are about today clean up spills really easily 👍can you have some scatter cushions to match your curtains ? Looking very cosy for the winter .

    • @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt
      @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt  2 года назад

      Oh yeah, scatter cushions in the curtain material will look really good against the new fabric I got !!

  • @dotmenziesholden1251
    @dotmenziesholden1251 2 года назад

    Another job nearly done, will look great when you get your covers on. Sticky Velco might be better than staples - just in case you need to remove the covers to clean them at some stage?

    Just enough room for an ES335. Staple guns are great. Is there enough curtain fabric left to use for the dinette cushions? "it would really tie the room together" as the Dude might have it.

  • @ebujvt65

    Way to go James. What happened to the fiesta ? I think a sliding slat type arrangement is the best bet for the pull out bed. No need to be piss balling about with moving stuff about.
    Hope Rob your good self and family are all doing good. Have you started planning for the Christmas advent calender this year as it as become a xmas tradition !!

    @sarkybugger5009 2 года назад

    Poor Fester... 😢
    I've got a staple gun you can have, but it won't get to you by the weekend, what with the postal strikes...
    Screwfix or Toolstation can probably sort you out for a few squid.
    All the best, mate.

    I think that you need to research comfort more. One time I was creating a couch. Friends wife suggested that I substitute a single bed mattress. Worked perfectly. So for the bottom think about that.

    @hollysmothers3902 2 года назад

    If you decide to hire a seamstress to cover your dinette cushions, be sure to insist they match the pattern! As expensive as fabric is, you'd probably be wise to hire a seamstress. I'm interested to see how you use a staple gun on a piece of foam. I applaud you for planning ahead to use every available inch for storage.

    • @garychamley3095

      He will staple the fabric to the plywood backing is my guess with help from the adhesive spray. 🤔
