    @markpeto4211 3 роки тому +53

    Will , to sort your uneven flooring ply , carefully measure where the joint is and mark , drill & screw from underneath the van . Make sure the screws aren't to long & get someone to stand on the flooring while you're doing it , no visible scew heads in the flooring

    • @H2Dwoat
      @H2Dwoat 3 роки тому +4

      Hi, definitely worth a try 👍. Remember to treat any drill holes, plug the holes with sealant before inserting a fixing, a decent sized washer and perhaps a hex head screw to enable you to get a good bite on the plywood.

    @headbanger4170 3 роки тому +32

    I’ve got one of these type of vans , those back door wires are a ball ache. Even with the guides the wires break , I re wired mine with a more flexible wire . The ceiling looks fab , stop overthinking it . Loving the videos … it looks be great when it’s done 👍🏻🤘🏻👍🏻

  • @JulesTravels-On
    @JulesTravels-On 3 роки тому +1

    Yay. Your sister is correct. Will look great once other finishes and textures in. Also with solid white surfaces can look grubby quickly and with your OCD tendencies think that not good idea. Why didn't you use clear sealant on flooring edges?😎

  • @triverp1573
    @triverp1573 3 роки тому +1

    Keep it. Lucy is right it looks good!

  • @malcolmandtheboy-getonwith3050
    @malcolmandtheboy-getonwith3050 3 роки тому +1

    It will look good with the contrast colors. Without them you just have white. Get it all done then decide. 🌞

  • @philipbutcher1971
    @philipbutcher1971 3 роки тому +1

    When your sister was stood outside the van at the back at timing point 15.48 and had the camera pointing upwards towards the ceiling the ceiling whit the thinned white paint on it looks good.

  • @delararesadv9140
    @delararesadv9140 3 роки тому +1

    I agree with your sister, the white looks great. Plus when the other bits are in it won't look so bright!

  • @MGEE8572
    @MGEE8572 3 роки тому +40

    The ceiling didn't look to bad .
    Why not try a scap yard for a cable protector for the rear door.

    • @target844
      @target844 3 роки тому +1

      Another option is some generic spring wire conduit so it resists bending and move into the door. It might be possible to just put some spring inside the cable protector that is used now. There is cheap flexible drain cleaner and similar tools with spring that should work. Perhaps even a steel wire likely makes it stiff enough but still flexible. No, when I think about it something plastic like a couple of large cable ties in the cable protector likely works fine and reduces the risk of it damaging the wires over time.

  • @mark_graham
    @mark_graham 3 роки тому +1

    Defo yay. Once furniture and furnishings are in, you will be glad of the lighter coloured ceiling.

  • @catherineferguson7388
    @catherineferguson7388 3 роки тому +19

    Well done Lucy for helping Will out, he needs a women’s touch sometimes, a white wash will bring the other colours out when you get more darker furniture in it. I love the colour. It looks better than it did before.. your getting there Will, we are all behind you with this Van build. Xx🚐✌️👍, here are some 💐for Lucy. Xxx

    • @rogerhargreaves2272
      @rogerhargreaves2272 3 роки тому +3

      Your right. It takes a woman’s eyes when doing colour schemes, honestly us men just don’t get it to be honest.

  • @Mooniicky
    @Mooniicky 3 роки тому +1

    Think the white will keep it fresh and light. On gloomy days you'll be pleased and you can bring colour in low level.

  • @lynngodney4472
    @lynngodney4472 3 роки тому +3

    Listen to Lucy she knows :) I hope we see more of her helping you 😊 leave it a little while it might grow on you then decide. I can't wait to see how it progresses. I might even copy you like we did the bed 😂😂.

  • @labergsy
    @labergsy 3 роки тому +1

  • @alexandrastevens8892
    @alexandrastevens8892 3 роки тому +5

    Your sister is lovely and how great she's willing to guide you, the ceiling looks OK, you will have to decide when you finally get some other colours in the build.

    • @darrenc2721
      @darrenc2721 3 роки тому

      Think the vans lack of color is essentially the problem. Its all white, you need some color in there. You have nothing to compare it with except the walls which are "tin"white.

  • @WonderingWomble

    Hi ya Bud.. When you screw the units down to the floor will hold the two floor levels together and stop that floor covering unlevel

  • @Adam-ox6zy
    @Adam-ox6zy 3 роки тому +4

    The paint colour on the roof is good. It softens things a lot, and you can still see the wood grain. It's subtle, not overstated. Go with it for a bit and see if it grows on you.

  • @williecollins5833
    @williecollins5833 3 роки тому +2

    A yay for the ceiling,white will give it a spacious feel when all your counters and fittings are in,the floor could be a tricky one to fix,best of luck.

  • @kinross24
    @kinross24 3 роки тому +17

    The more you compact the insulation the less effective it is. I needs the air gaps and voids within the work effectively.
    When using sealant for edging etc then cut the nozzle at 45’ to get a better seal and look.

  • @mattk4530
    @mattk4530 3 роки тому +1

    Drill a hole from under the van larger than a screw, then screw from underneath with weight on the board inside the van to pull the floor down. Just make sure the screws are not too long and poke through the top

I love that sort of white woody affect ceiling .. keep going .. love watching your travels and now your build of the van ... look forward to seeing more.. Lucy did a great job ...

  • @vantabulouslife5704
    @vantabulouslife5704 3 роки тому

    Dont worry about the floor Will. Once you start adding furniture it will pull down, especially if the unit overlaps that join and you screw the furniture to the floor. For future reference always tape joints in plywood to stop it chaffing your flooring. Looking good mate, keep going

    For the lip in the vinyl, Cut some small squares out, slightly larger than the screw heads, then once the screws are in, stick the cut out bits back.

  • @jonwarb
    @jonwarb 3 роки тому

    Hey Will. The conduit you used for the back door wiring is fine. If you insert a a wooden bbq skewer (or something similar) to keep it rigid, that should keep it straight to push inside the door as it closes?
    Try it. You could try a bit of wire or something. All simple & cheap to do. 👍🏼

  • @keart65
    @keart65 3 роки тому +6

    LOL, I think you need your sis for the rest of the build, can she use your saw bench? clam to see you remembered how to take the fan cover off, you did double check the clips all came out before you put it back on, if you remember last time a few came out. keep the white ceiling for wait to see how it looks once you have more of the build in place, plus you sister spent a load of time on it for you.

    The ceiling looks great, much warmer and more interesting than just solid white.
