No problem at all just having that work done on my boat you will
Need. 8mn or 10 detonators the hose size
Hi Chris and Bex. Well done in getting the pipe work in place. It looks very tricky but you’ve definitely got a plan 🥰 Take care. Nick
Thanks so much Nick ❤️😊
As an ex plumber . Due to the size hole made for pipework you may want to put some small cuts of membrane around pipe as it goes through timber otherwise your have squeaking noises as pipework heats up . When is your next live stream ? . Keep up the great videos guys .
Thats so interesting thank you for you advice, owwww yeah an other live stream is well over due weve just had a very interesting year with lots going on behind the scenes, have a lovely week
If anyone can pull this off I think you two can do it. I think the impact of how long you have had the boat , and how much more needs to be done , really hit today. Hang in there Bex and Chris!!! Sopranella needs to go cruising! 🦆
😊🤗 Kathy
Thank you, its been a long hard process but things are getting there, Thank you Kathy have a lovely week
You’re so close to cruising guys ! I know it’s been a long journey for you but it’s gunna be soooooo worth it !!! Bex your doing so bloody well ! I’m proud of what you’ve achieved this far ( you too Chrissy crobot!)x see you on the next plumb with bex episode ! X hope you have a good week xx
as messy as the boat looks, weve actually come so far so there cant be too long left can there?? Bex has really done the whistling wombat proud...thank you Mandy have a. lovely week
Great camera mount Chris, for catching all of those 'impact' moments that are due in the future.
haaaa love it
Good luck to you hope it works out and for the inspection tc the oldies🤗🤗👍
Thank you oldies have a lovely week ❤️❤️❤️
Good job Bex as always. We all know when you're on the job it will be done correctly.
If you need ventilation for the gas locker, why not purchase a small vent, cut a hole in one of the doors, screw in the vent, done! If you want to be over cautious have one in each gas locker door.
Great video as always. Take good care of yourselves guys ~ Hugs & XO Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾
PS. I bet when you close your eyes you can see the entire Wombat all spic 'n span with a Snore room, bedroom, bath all finished. The day will come, just hang in there. ⛵🙌
Bless you, you’re getting there! Good idea doing all the plumbing with fresh piping. Hopefully that will stop any future issues with leaks and give you peace of mind to know you won’t have to do it again for a few years. I don’t know how you cope working around all of your belongings in such a tight spot. You got this! 🤗
Bex has picked up so many new skills bless her, so proud of her, and this way if anything ever goes wrong she knows how to fix it for me....yayyyy 😂
Wow Bex you just never cease to amaze me. The bright side to all of this is you know EVERYTHING about your boat and any future problem, though I doubt there will be any, will be a piece of p#&& for you to fix up. Damn mate, so well done, pat on the back. Great to see you both, take care and see you soon. 🥰
@@TheNomadicCrobot this is so true, learning to do it yourselves will save you so much money in the long run as you will know exactly how to fix it. Plus it’s feels so good and empowering learning new skills, good ole RUclips university and sharing your skills on what you have had to learn (even tho I’m sure it’s so frustrating as you just want to get out on the cut exploring) The best part will be when you pass your BSS and get to enjoy your adventures knowing that if anything does go wrong you both can fix it. We just have to make sure you are stocked up with plenty of marigolds 🤣😂by clicking the like and subscribe buttons 😉😉 🤗🤗and buying a brew or three 😉
So thrilled and surprised to be greater with a new video this morning!! I know they’re a lot of work, so thank you❤. As for me I don’t care for the short videos, but that’s me, I’m always wanting more, lol. Im so impressed with you Bex how much you’ve learned and how fearlessly you charge ahead bypassing any and all obstacles. Hopefully each day draws you closer to finally cruising, I feel your frustration at times, but the Crobot Narrow Boat will be an amazing craft to be once finished (as if any boat is ever finished).
Thank you for all the love and support Craig, it really mean the world to us, its been a tough journey but its coming together ❤️😊
You should tape over the pipe ends before pushing through to prevent debris getting into the pipe.
Thanks for this
Hi your doing a cracking job, but if you connect a compression fitting to plastic pipe always wrap ptfe tape around the copper olive. Because thats where you make seal. Hope this helps.
Thank you your you advice Clive ❤️
Sorry, I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see the pipe work finished. Oh well that's content for the next vlog! Always fun watching you two's antics!! Thx to you both!!
Sorry Mark and thanks for understanding , we really appreciate it 😊👍
hi hello hope your both well. Full time cruising nomads very soon, can’t wait. Beck your plumbing skills are impeccable. i’ve loved watching since you brought the old girl. All the best anyway, stay safe you too 👊🏻
Thanks, its long over due, but things are looking better every day , have a lovely week ❤️😊
The only ventilation the gas locker needs is drain holes at the bottom, above the waterline. Unlike natural gas, liquified petroleum gas is heavier than air so any gas that leaks will sink to the bottom of the locker.
Thats good to know thanks Tim
Don't put PTFE tape around the threads lol thats not correct, place over the copper olives to create a seal. 👍
Thanks for your advice
Hello crobot family. Good on you for cracking on. ❤
Cheers Will, summer soon 😬😬
@@TheNomadicCrobot It's still cold. 😒
Persistent will pay off. Watching g a video of a project I wouldn't normally be interested in. Watch it because you both are great and still make it entertaining. Great sound track at the end .
Bless you what a lovely comment, im always a bit scared to put my own songs in the videos so thanks for the huge compliment ❤️❤️
You want the hot water lines as short as possible after the calorifier (sp?) ... Everytime you want hot water, you are going to have to let it run to emply out the no-longer-hot water in the pipes, before you get hot water again. So you'll be wasting a bit of water every time.
Thats interesting thank you 😊❤️
Becs you're doing a great job, hopefully you'll finish it soon
I hope so too! ❤️😊
Becky, you don't put PTFE tape on the threads of a compression joint. It's the olive that creates the seal, not the threads. The tape won't do anything at all if the olive fails.
Thanks for this ill pass it on to the boss 😂😂😊👍
Glad to see and hear some very good advice and progress to your bss hope you don't encounter any other problems and your both enjoying cruising our waterways very soon
Thanks much, fingers crossed she passes
Dear Chris and Becca,
Chris regarding the gas locker, you might require something similar to a plastic louvered grill which will allow any fumes out should there be a gas leak. You will probably find them at B&Q for about 7 pounds each
Becca do yourself a favor and mark the pipes to indicate which are hot and which are cold. In the future you will appreciate this should you need to identify them.
Definitely looking forward to next week.
Take care,
Mark
Alberta, Canada
Thats so interesting, thanks, That seams very cheap, Thats a very valid point ill pass the info on to Bex, Thanks for all your insight Mark, Take care
I have actually done that exact thing! You will see on the next episode!! Such a simple but mega useful thing to do for if you're ever trying to work out pipe things in the future! Thanks Mark!
Gas locker vents are normally as low as possible as the gas is heavier than air and pools at the lowest point?
@@TheNomadicCrobot check with the safety rules...as far as I know we had bottles don't need overall ventilation. The important thing is drain holes at floor level because gas is heavier than air and pools at the bottom during a leak
It's coming along nicely, great to see your keeping well out the way. :-)
Thank you❤️😊
@@TheNomadicCrobot was great to meet you as well, while you were hiding outside 🙂
THe black nails and stripey sleeves give a bit of a Beetle Juice vibe to it. Now that's a whole new twist on plumbing that most of us wouldn't have thought of.
I knew there was something wrong with her 😂😂
Ptfe on the thread for compression fittings is not always a good idea, its not the thread that seals, the seal is the collar of the olive, that been said if its dry ...result, good work on tackling the plumbing
Love the song, at the Chris. Not long now Becks.........
Thank you that means alot ❤️😊
How the heck do you live on the boat! Thought mine was cluttered, but you don't seem to have enough room for anything! Love your vlogs and admire you both for your effort. You will get there eventually 👍
im not quite sure, its been quite the mission 😂😂😂 Thank you
Keep going what can go wrong (boom)love yaz ,makes my week .keep on keeping on son
Thanks Darren ❤️
Did think you got all that done some time back . But did that guy stopped part way through it.?Great work Bex on that water system .
no this is the first time we have installed new pipes on the boat though we are on tank number 3
When I had a go at domestic plumbing a while back, I found that plastic pipe thickness varied between manufacturers. So even though the internal dimensions were the same, there was a mismatch and caused a leak. I had to buy fittings made by the pipe manufacturer to cure the problems 🤷🏼♂️
Thats so interesting thanks for your insight ❤️😊
This will be a canal worthy boat when finished.
I’m wondering what your next project will be.
Thanks Shoan, hmmm maybe the full bathroom build???
"wet patch" on the bathroom floor. I bet Chris has been getting the blame for that one🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 spot on
So nearly there! I’m excited for you both! 😘🌻
its been a long journey, thank you ❤️😊
Pipes are essentials! Imagine your body without pipes?
But how can the body manage without all plastic fittings? 🥰😇
I never thought of it that way 😂😂 a very good point ❤️
I think an inspector must find something wrong or they think they aren't doing their job right.
So I leave one or two things in plain sight and very easy to correct. So that way they are not hunting for other things to point out. That are really harder to fix. Just a thought.
Thats a very very good point, keep a few bits head back just so he feels hes doing his job 👍👍
@@TheNomadicCrobot For example........If your propane tanks need a bracket to secure them. Have one made up so you can "Fix" the problem and text a picture of the repair to the inspector. Just a thought.
Just a comment, you don’t need to put ptfe tape on the compression nut, it serves no purpose to seal the joint. If your not sure about the joint put a small strip around the olive only, but should not be needed
thank for this 😊👍
Great work Bex it about time you give Chris a job do.All the best both and keep the video rolling 👍
Thanks were getting there
Hi Becca, Chris, Glad to see your waterworks are nearly ready. Becca you are a Genius. I could never do what your doing. Loving the way you explain everything (although it's way over my head) but still, it's ipulsive listening. Maybe your BSS examination person is a fan of your channel, and if so he will know how dedicated you both are. Chris thanks for your updates on your Canopy covers and Gas storage lockers. Really enjoyed this week's Vlog. Thank you, Spoolbox.
Hi Spoolbox, what a lovely comment, Thank you for all the love and support, Isn't Bex so clever learning all the plumbing ready for our cruise, fingers cross this all works out for us both.Have a lovely week
Cool woman indeed 😊
she does well doesn't she bless her
@@TheNomadicCrobot she is amazing never let her go. Marry her 😊
smart lady
what a girl ❤️❤️
16mm spade bit. A 20mm spade bit would give the spiders better egress.
noooooooo
if i can ask where does all your waste water go to is it a bigger issue to rid of as to get cheers
waste water as in toilet? or kitchen sink?? the kitchen sink goes straight into the river like all boats I believe
I'm a qualified plumber, used to teach ...
Any questions, please ask...xx
Bless you thank you so much 😊👍❤️
Does Bex have 2 different colour eyes or is it just the light in some of the shots?
hmmmm I think you may be on to something
I'll give you a good reason to strap down your gas try using this logic to keep you a live and not getting burned beyond recognition .
good point
good vid on channel nice work on the channel thanks lee
Thanks Lee
Xx
I hope someone here can counter my comment that it is ci,pletely unnecessary to use that white teflon tape on the fitting thread…. Clamping makes in watertight not the outer thread
Thats interesting thanks for your input
Your going to need a gas bubbler contacted too your gas bubbler it became law this year if not it will fail and you wont be able to use use gas
yes we have heard that actually thank you
