Electrician, carpenter, painter, chef, musician, and wearer of fine hats. Guess who im talking about ?
🥺 not enough of benny singing.
Hi
Ben gave me a copy of his new new CD yesterday. The last track called Witchfinder Trial is awesome. Hope you get to listen soon.
@@micktimperley4002 CD is really good.
I came across your videos quite by chance. I really enjoy them. So gentle and warm. Thank you.
The boat looks great! Poor Alan, how embarrassing to take a dip in the canal. I love how cats always blame their humans when they embarrass themselves haha.
Hello There Hope you Are well , Great work you doing on your boat , The painting looks Great , Really makes a difference , Poor Alan falling in the canal , well looked like he was giving the tail a good clean , well Thank you for Sharing , Keep up the Great work , Take care All,👍👍👍👍👍.
You have done a beautiful job painting the boat. 🛥️
Thank them both,.
Looks like a new boat well done
"the pickle, the pickle, the pickle, Branston!" For my fellow Americans, Branston Pickle is a brand of what we would call pickle relish sold in the UK. Too funny.
My Grandma lived in Branston opposite the ex army depot where apparently the chef invented Branston Pickle. !Branston is just South of Burton on Trent !
Thank you Bohemian for the explanation💜
Thanks for the explanation! I had no clue.
I had a good Kakle at that one too.
@@johnraworth8019 And my Grandfather worked at the Army depot during and shortly after WW 2 . Both sides of my Grandparents live in Burton on Trent and I lived in Lichfield before I came to live in Turkey .
Boat looking good. One side that is. New water pump. And Allen got wet. What a life. Very well done. I would not take out windows unless your needing to make repairs.
Great paint job guys. Poor Alan falling in the cut.
So satisfying to see the changes to the boat.
Poor Alan looked mortified at falling in the canal 😢
THEE OL SHIP LOOKIN WELL SMART... EXCLLENT! GLAD TO SEE THE WEATHER IS GETTIN BETTER TOO. ALWAYS A GOOD TIME, AND IT LOOKS LIKE 2 SHIPMATES GOT A WEE BIT WET THERE ....LOLOL! MAN OVERBOARD.. HAAAA... BE BLESSED YA ALL.
Invest in “frog tape” for masking off - game changer! Also, a Stanley knife blade will scrape that paint off of the window in no time. ✌🏼
Wow the boat looks so nice, poor Alan poor benny, I've been thinking for ages has alan fell in the water bless....
for your windows with paint on - get a flat head screw driver and you can chip it off when it is totally dry - renovated a house with steel windows frames this way...easy = on the other side tape the windows off before painting - boat is looking great been waiting for you guys to do it - will make you feel so much better hey cause your boat inside is one of the best on these channels...
So look forward to your weekly upload. Yeah shame about the mess in the canal... glad you 3 doing well
Great to say hello on the towpath today Hope to buy you a beer if you do the open night as would love to hear you live
Oh it was lovely to see you Emily in your bright yellow van 😆 you don’t know me but I saw you come out of the post office and thought i recognise her oh that’s Emily. I smiled as you passed xx love watching you guys x

Hi Ben and Emily. What a great job that you did with the paintwork. It looks brilliant. Hope that you got chance to do the other side at some point. Take care. Nick
Marvelous episode, thank you three so much for sharing.
It's looking great. You've done a wonderful job.
Be nice to stain/oil the wood seat at the back too. I wouldn’t do cream on top as it will show all green build up etc
The boat looks great (at least on one side :p ). I have been anxiously waiting the start of this.
Painting looks superb, great job. cream roof will set it off.
Great paint job 💪
Your home looks beautiful. Dome a great job with the paint
Awesome job on the boat.Have an amazing week.Looking forward to your next video.
Beautiful Color
Bloody good effort 👌 I say. Good on you 👏 👍
You have done an amazing paint job on the boat - It looks fabulous !!
Ship shape and ready to cruise!!
Boat is looking great 👍🏻👍🏻
I trained as a squady there back in the eighties the local barracks is Whittington barracks Lichfield Prince of Wales division, Cheshire Regiment
Hi Ben and Emily: You did an awesome job painting your narrowboat! It looks great. Jenny
I agree with everyone's positive comments about your painting results. Then had a good laugh at the reversed editing of *_"unpainting the boat"_* just to let the better quality view sink in properly.
The reality of your lives is so honest poignant and caring…kudos and all the best!
Superb painting… kudos!
boats looking good guys real good it would be nice with a touch of gold paint somewhere perhaps
Ooh it looks great, well done to you both. Hopefully you’ll get some more good weather and can do the other side soon.
I like it. Looks good on film.
The boat is looking really good , well done you 3 , Alan was doing a great job supervising of course , have a lovely week ❤
That colour is gorgeous ❤
Well done on a good job worth doing ❤
Looking good well done
Poor Alan. Your both tackling lots of jobs and the boat is looking great.well done , you work so well together.
Your boat is looking fantastic! Poor Alan though 😂🥹
From one Alan to another Alan, Im sympathetic mate, have fell in a canal many times as a teen when fishing, you go and sulk for a while, will do you good.🙀😿😿
Sanding is to create a KEY never sand all the way as paint was invented as a protection to porous and non porous materials. I would have thought toxic paint into the canals and local environment wasnt allowed ...i must be wrong . Your living my dream . Keep going😊
Well done. A job worth doing.
Glad you kept you Indian meal with friends without a zillion eyes peeking in…your sharing safe very generous!
The boat is looking awesome,great job!!!Poor Alan…love your videos!🇨🇦
Great vlog as usual, loved the paint job and poor Alan. Oh and Ben, of course. Looking forward to the end result of the painting, it'll look so good.
Nice one guys, the painting is looking good, you must be well chuffed and the pump replacement was a success too. All these little wins will be great for overall morale.Alan will learn and will be more cautious in future. Good to see Benny harvesting wood, it would be a constant were I to be a liveaboard. 😄😄
Replace pump. Feed cat. Strip old paint. Neutralize rust. Wipe down. Sugar soap. Paint. (And don’t forget record tunes, shoot and edit videos!)
All in a day’s work for full timer narrowboaters.
Y’all did a fabulous job! The one side of the boat looks so good. Don’t worry about what people may or may not say, it’s your home not theirs. 🤣
paint job looks great. 😊
Another brilliant video guys ❤️❤️🚐🚐 xx
Great work guys!!! She’s looking amazing already!!! 🤩🤩🤩👍🏻👏🏻
Haha ,, can’t get over Alan’s enthusiastic response to you fitting the new pump ! Poor soggy Alan ,,, great job guys ,, looking gsuper . Neil , Liz and Barneyboo the Cockerpoo xxxx
Yeah another video. Love ya videos
great job on painting very good
The plants are looking good too, Emily 🍻
Shiny!
Looks great!
I need to paint my narrowboat soon as well, good reminder haha.
The boat is looking fabulous, well done ❤
You done a brilliant job with the boat we have two cats names are minky and patch
Great Vlog as always, hope Alan has recovered her composure 🙀😸loved the ‘oriental’ sounding tune when the boat painting was going on 🎵🎶there’s a different sound again recently music wise and it’s great 😊🙏🏻xx
Awww well done looking grand already proud of you both all the best the oldies tc now 👍🥀🌻🥀🌻
Great job, I don't know how Emily managed to paint without coveralls like Benny, because I would of been the same colour as your boat 😄
😂
Looks fabulous, you’re doing a great job 👏🏻 It’s not easy I know! xx
Neat paint job🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Shiny, Doing a great job, you mentioned cream on the roof i reckon that'll go well just that it might show the rain muck etc more, by the way is the window frames alloy, could you clean then lightly with a brillo pad, Irene liked Benny's shirt went well with the cheese plant in the back ground. All the best Gary n Irene
Looks sooo good! We’ve been thinking about doing ours so this was good to know what goes into it! 😊
