Certainly not boring, youve both chosen your own paths, and fulfilled your dreams, whether on boat, van or wherever. Thats a gift. 😊

Congratulations on your new bed!

used to call my similar mattress the “dead body” whenever I had to move it anywhere 😳 My advice (albeit very late) is to get yourself a REALLY good mattress protector, including something that protects the mattress from any sort of spills, leaks or just anything liquid. Moisture protection is also necessary for the underside of your natural mattress especially where condensation and the potential for mould exists. I’m only stressing this because once your mattress gets wet, it takes a VERY long time to dry out, and depending upon the material used inside the mattress, it can.... how do I put this, it can smell like a wet dog...for days until it dries out. I’ve made every single mistake mentioned above. I had to learn the hard way ... hopefully so that you won’t have to ❤

Looks more comfy than my double mattress, other boaters are such lovely people, I have noticed other narrowboat channels everyone helps one another hard to find these days.

You're nutters you two! But in the best possible way!

You both need a little drawer under the bed with a top on it. So you can use it as a step up. I have seen it before in a KZread video about a tiny home

Mohair comes from angora goats. It's very warm. Not to confuse with angora wool that comes from angora rabbits! Glad you've put it on slates as it will need to breath! Did laugh at the eggs! Ouch at about $1 each here that's a catastrophe.

Oh that's great to know, thank you ☺️ it's mohair and coir and very comfy! Should be good in the winter if it's a good insulator

It's only going to be time before someone makes a van which can float, then you've got all KZread bases covered.

Well done and the bed does look very comfortable and roomy. I did notice that the frame seems to be moving a bit when you got up on it. I would suggest stiffening it up even more because the last thing you will want is that frame collapsing at the worst possible moment. When you think you've made it strong enough, add a couple more supports / corner gussets just to be sure.

Hey Rod, yeh I think I'm going to brace it up a little more just to stop any movement. But trickier now the mattress is in place but agree that it's better to be safe than sorry! We'll have to be careful up there until I get round to it 😂

Glad you enjoyed your first night on your boat guys, don't worry about the eggs though as eggcidents will happen

You two do make me laugh. You just put salt over the egg and it solidifies and you will be able to pick it up. But you both seem to be having loads of fun while you work and we get to watch all the laughter and oops moments.

So nice you got to to spend the night aboard 👍 must have given you a sense of achievement. Well done getting the induction hob into the cupboard. I was wondering if it would need any insulation to stop the heat damaging the wood? Thanks for the catch up, have a great week

I hope it’s good as you should never fold a mattress

Your kettle looks like its bottom is crimped on like a tin lid. Induction hobs REALLY want a smooth contact surface between the glass and the cookware being used. You posted this a month ago so hopefully you’ve found out, and found a way to deal with this, but if A) I’m right about the kettle and B) it’s working ENOUGH, just know that you’re losing a LOT of efficiency inducting across that small rim. I’m about to go re-watch that section and I’ll follow up if I was wrong. :)

Hey! Ha nicely noticed 😅 they're our old kettles from our previous boat and don't work on the induction at all. We've been heating the water in a pan instead... A new kettle is on the cards when we get back onboard after Arti's visit to the boat shed!

Make sure to sanitise those tools now, don't want you getting Ecoli!
