10: Narrowboat DIY - Making an Ottoman Bed as a COMPLETE DIY NOVICE!
My dad came up from Birmingham to help for a couple of days, and we spent many hours building this ottoman bed after Hefty taught me how to do the framework in the last vlog.
This vlog is a lot of me waffling away, making mistakes and almighty do-nots of narrowboat DIY but also contains some satisfying results!
Probably not perfection, but having a bed that I can easily lift makes my life so much easier since I have a bad back from a double-spinal fracture mountain fall a few years ago. Gaz and I are easily pleased, so I'm very happy with these few days of work!
We are Ash and Gaz, two self-employed performers living on our narrowboat while we do an (almost) complete DIY overhaul. We also write and play music as Butterfly Moon.
We hope you enjoy our journey!

I recommend to everyone these books: Boatowners Mechanical and Electrical Manual (4th Edition or newer) by Calder The 12 volt Bible for boats by Brotherton (used only cause its an old book) The Narrowboaters Builders Book (3rd Edition or newer) by Waterways These books will not only help you but make your life much easier. Just stumbled across your channel.. deffo not family hahaha. Good luck on your build.

Haha! This shows how slow I am at editing vlogs doesn’t it 🤣 It’s getting there Pete! Though I’m currently still living in a chaotic mass of wood and tools 😝 But it’s nice to be in the building stage of things now. I’ve bought a neon green paint for the outside, although I imagine that’ll happen next year at this rate haha!
Beginner tip, my dear please cover your video monitor so your looking into the lens and talking to us. Felt like I was eavesdropping on your conversation with someone next to me 😉

Haha - I take it you’re not into eavesdropping then 🤣 Thanks, I’ll try and remember this. To be fair, I’d like to try and do less waffling to the camera anyway!
Yes and well done for giving it a go, you did a good job, 👍🔨📐😀
