Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Framing the bunk windows took a lot of thought but it turned out great and adds so much width for sleeping in a fixed bed van conversion.

I said Brian “overbuilds”. But the loom on the wiring is NOT “overdoing it”. Great choice! The build is really coming around and looks phenomenal!
Love how it’s coming along! And I love the “wife unsupervised” videos! I get my best work done when hubby is GONE!
I need to know Heather's secret for painting overhead! I didn't see one drop of white paint on her head, face, or hoodie! I would be splattered all over! Van is looking great guys! Really coming together.
Cussing a lot 😂
It's really coming together nicely! To quote a former boss whose favorite phrase for a job well done, "That's slicker than snot on a doorknob!". 👍👍👍❤❤❤
The van is looking really good. You both are doing a great job and will have something to be proud of.
You guys seems so happy since you are making videos because you want too. Not like you feel you have too. Great job ❤️❤️
watching Brian running the wiring I noticed the fan flickering and I'm thinking, Bro what are doing! you never connect wires when their hot! then I realized it was the shadow of the trees blowing in the wind! lol. 🤣🤣😂😂
😂
I hope you two turkeys have a great thanksgiving. Luv you guys, stay safe.
Happy Thanksgiving, Jake!
Looks good guys. As far as Brain over doing it, IF A JOB IS WORTH DOING IT IS WORTH DOING RIGHT. You will be very proud of what you have accomplished when it is done!
I built a van in the 80s I put paneling in it and only had to run a few wires I was hoping to be able to haul my bike and be able to camp y'all are doing a great job love it
I agree with Wayne. Protecting your hands, but your clothing should be old throwaways. Also safety glasses to protect your eyes, especially when painting overhead. These tips will work when building van no. 2. Lol. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Watching yall work so hard makes tired and want a beer
Looking good. Yes I remember wiring up my stereos in the cars and trucks, not to mention the home theatres. Cheers Dave
that looking really good starting to take shape. i always get my wife to paint too. i tell her she better at it but i REALLY hate painting
The vans looking good.
Next time use a small brush the paint the grooves before you roll it out it will make life a little bit easier hope you guys have a good Thanksgiving
Coming together guys. Looking good 👍
coming along. looking good - keep going its going to be great !!!
It's really looking good.
Really enjoy you two! Your videos are great! Good to watch a couple working and enjoying life together! Looking forward to progress on your van.
We appreciate you coming along for the ride!
Wire nuts in a vehicle ?! 😳
Crimp connectors, shrink tubing, and weather pack connectors if you want to be able to disconnect them later.
(Wire nuts don't handle vibration long term)
He wasn’t using wire nuts. He was using Wago wire connectors. They crimp and lock
Awesome job looks Great
When painting overhead wear some clear glasses so you don’t get paint in your eyes.
Love the complaint list!!! Great job!
You two are both very entertaining to me. I’m enjoying the camper van build very much. Happy Thanksgiving also 😊
Brian and Heather, looks like you're making great progress. I'd say laugh as much as you can because there is probably going to be many downsides to get over. The problem with plumbing and wiring is that it does get covered over so you really can't see the effort that went into it. Love the way you sized wire Brian. Be careful about pinching wires. Best of luck! We're rooting for you. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for Sharing!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I would have been wearing the paint if I was painting the ceiling the van is looking good
Can't wait to see finished product awesome 💯
Loving the update and progress!! Well done! I saw on IG today you are far South in warm weather! Enjoy the beach and Happy Thanksgiving to you!! 🦃🤘🏻😎🇺🇸
P.S. when painting above your head, please put on a pair of safety glasses to avoid any paint drips to the peepers. Love your channel 🤘🏻😎🇺🇸
Enjoy your videos and great job on the van!
Looking awesome. Kudos Heather I didn't see any paint in your hair... Painting overhead suks!!
Looking good guys If I don't see you guys before Thanksgiving happy Thanksgiving your buddy from Oxford
Looking good great job 👍👍👍
Nice job have a great thanksgiving
Awesome always love watching your videos
Good job Heather and Brian!!🎨👏👏👍
I watched Chuck Cassidy on the tube tonight and for some reason I thought of you two. It's about insulation very boring but very interesting I was shocked about alot of it.👍
Lol. I love watching you guy’s 😊
He’s So Close Cause He Love’s You. See Nice lol.
Great job 👍
I can’t wait to see this at KRiver, 2032
Nice hoodie!
Yep painting brings the best of of people 😂 great job guys 👌
The van is looking great! Hope you two have a great Thanksgiving!
Thanks! You too!
Hey! If you won $100 million, I agree you should finish the van. Give it to me and buy yourselves a bus! 🤔😁 LOL!
To be honest with you after all the work y'all have done and will do. There's no way I'd let it go for a very long time.
Y'all have done an awesome job. 👍👍
Looking good
We all get paint everywhere, Heather. Which is why we all hate painting, right?🤔🤨🙄😕🥴😵😵💫😖😳
Looking 👀 good
👏👏👏👏👍✌
With painting and any finishes we are our own worst critic.
🤓👍🏻good job 😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Don’t Play With Me Cause Your Playing With Fire.
Heather scares me with those gloves. Just remember the pinky not the thumb.
😂
Looks like someone got a haircut!?
Chopped off a few inches 😁
Painting is the worst. Surprised you wear latex gloves for your hands but wear that way over priced Harley sweatshirt for that messy task. 🤷🏻♂️ Coming along great tho guys.👍🏻
I bought it cheap from my friend Whit, it’s my designated ‘work’ hoodie 😃
👍🏻 gotcha 😁
First again sorry Jess
😂
DAMMIT! 😂😂😂
Well Heather, are you sure you're not a contractor? Cus in those bloopers, you sure talk like one. Before I became a contractor I had to learn how to talk like that. 🤪
