Vlog 359: First Night
I had a chance to take a flying midweek visit up to my tiny narrowboat and spend the first night aboard. This was a great opportunity to bring all the things I’m likely to need and then realise what I’d forgotten!

So, the fridge. Does it only work when you’re plugged into the mains David? Surely it must work off of the domestic battery as well? My favourite roll – a cheese and pickle!
Cheers.
Yes, it works off the leisure battery so all good!
The easiest way to add drawers when there is no apparent room to build any, is to use something like these stuck to the underside of the counter top inside a galley cupboard…

For extra peace of mind, you could drill a few holes in the top of them and screw them to the underside of the counter top as well.
It’s how we added a couple of extra drawers in our boat galley and they’re still working and havent fallen off yet.
Thank you! I’ll have a look, cheers
Looking good David for the first day / night on the boat. Looking forward to seeing your new curtains!
Haha so am I. My sister has made me one pair to try first and then we can adjust any subsequent ones if they need tweaks.
What video do you talk about the otter you were working on and why did you get the recent one?
I was working on a Microplus and still have it. A Q&A video is coming soon.
when you talked about essentials, you didn’t mention cheese. is something wrong??
Cheese is an essential by default!!
