Woops, our first significant puck up of the van build...
Love Bob opening the vlog! He’s so precious. Much love buddies, happy Friday!😘
Bob is definitely getting more comfortable in front of the 🎥 camera. Silver lining he is giving instructions on how to do different things on the build. I like the double vent.( Remote control fan ) 😎. Great day guys.
Eamon was right... he could smell my jealousy from a mile away hahaha! I wish we had two fans and/or a remote control for our fan!!! Amazing!
@@eamonandbec You really need two fans? Can you share why? Do you have a ceiling fan in your bathroom? My van space is 11' long, 6' wide and 6' 2" tall. I was hoping to get away with just one, good ceiling fan positioned equidistant between the bathroom and my cook stove, thinking that if I had no ceiling on the bathroom, the one fan would be enough to vent both bathroom odors and moisture from showering, and cooking odors. But your comment has me rethinking that. Thank you for anything you can share.
Hi Buddy!! I love your dad. Yasss hat is awesome lol. Van is looking groovy!
Thanks all around Christina!! Much love XX
These father/son moments are priceless. It is so awesome Bob is doing this. Thank you all for sharing. 😘
I think they'll always remember building Bob's tiny home together!!
I miss my father when I watch Eamon and Bob working and joking together. He had that same sort of humor. Dad humor..
Would love to hear Bob's travel plans following the "family build".
I am loving these videos with Bob. And Lauren wooohooo!!
Stay tuned for more with Lauren and Bob!!
Annnnd Bob opens up the vlog! Love it 😍
Jordan Tomasone hahahah you bet! Soon enough he'll film a full solo day!
Eamon & Bec hahah yes! I hope so 😍
We used that paneling for our ceiling as well! It’s great!
If you didn’t like this video, give it a thumbs up. 😂👍 Bob cracks me up!!
Bob is getting better at vlogging every single day and I love it. Where does he plan on taking his van first?
Not sure to be honest! We'll have to do a Q+A with him to share with all of you!
We love Bob!!!
I'll pass the message along to the man himself :)
Just think Eamon n Bec all the stories y'all will be able to tell when your BOB'S age.....lol...... I just love you guys 💙💛💜💚 Bob is hetting the hang of this 👍👍
Love these daily’s guys!! Loving bob the builder too! 👌🏽
You're all so real. Love it. Bob you're not the oldest guy on UA-cam. Lol. My husband and I are late (late) 50's and we're starting our van build within the next year. So excited! 😄
Ha! I've got you all beat! Should I be so excited about being old? I'm 61 and just started a Sprinter build on Humble Road. Just remember this; 60 is the new 40!
Bob has all of you beat hehehe... don't tell him I told you this but he's 65 ;)
Lol. 65 years young!
Bec the freestyle rapper, loved it! I love how you asked Eamon for a beat and he said no lol. The van is looking great! Another win!!! 🛠🚐
Hahah that brat puts me on the spot and then can't even drop a beat for me!? Thanks for following the journey and sending the van your positivity!!
Bob!!!! You are a natural you tuber. Bec is the best fiancé! Yeh to keeping the nail gun 🇨🇦🤪💕
Awe haha thanks Chrissy!!
Thumbs up for the slowmo-dad with-a-beat action :)
Blue Skies!
Hahah wish today was the same weather... we have a wild storm today!
things are moving along so fast! Amazing job everyone!
Eamon, do a search for Sprinter cabinets. There are several companies that build plug and play cabinets specifically for Sprinter vans. Easy Peazy.
I think the end clips are my favorite. It makes me so excited for the next day!
Hahah me too! Eamon normally does the first edit of the videos and I'm always so excited to see what's he's put for the end clips!
Holy crap, Bob makes the video super cool! You guys have an awesome family. I hope you feel blessed when you're around each other.
thebest video eamon thats you father his a cool dood
Glad you enjoyed today's video!! I feel like the conversion is coming a long way and we're super excited about the progress!
Guys the ceiling looks amazing!! Loving the daily vlogs! I also found your chai at my local coffee shop Grounded in Midland, Ontario! I had a little moment and a chai latte, it made for a good day lol.
Don't give in Bec, send the nail gun back. He has everything he needs with you by his side. Eamon, you are welcome. :-)
Please at the end of this conversion, show the price of the entire build. Thankyou!
Ha! Love Bob opening the VLOG! What an awesome project to do with father and son and Bec!
OMG Awesome!! Nail Gun!!! Great job...no more pucking ups!
Bec, you are so beautiful! I can never get over how amazing your skin is😍
LOVE Bob, and LOVE the daily vlogs! Thank you.
I've never understood why people insulate, ply line and then tongue and groove. This way makes far more sense and saves space, money and weight! Loving the daily vlogs
Thanks for tuning in for another daily dose of our sprinter van conversion!! Have a lovely Friday XX
Lots of builder Bob, a little of Bec and loads of Eamon the maaan! Looking good on the build. Love it from Sunny South Africa 🇿🇦
You three have the most amazing on-screen chemistry "Vlogold"
Bob is so adorable. It was so lovely to see him open the vlog and calling his son "buddy" too. Aww... my heart melts for Bob.
Great job and outlook : ) I remember some Wacko named Edison messed up a few times? Like over 1000x....yet, it kinda worked out for him, and US !! Btw, i've been in his house in Florida...talk about being amongst Greatness....
I swear Bob lives at the office now 😂 this guys a G
I love Bob! I had to literally "Awwww" out loud when he started off with "I'm not a pro like my son is..."
It's so neat that your Dad is helping you. It looks like you are all vibing on this experience together. It makes me miss my Dad but very happy for you guys!
We're actually helping Bob out as the van is going to be his new home!! But either way, I hear ya! This is very special bonding time for the two of them and I'm happy to participate when I can
We love Bob. 💙
Hi Guys,
Always remember that you are people just like everyone else, and don’t feel guilty about not blogging , Vlogging, taping, or writing. You put your pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. I know you are gaining fame, but remember as I have said before... Be true to yourself, and don’t overwork or overwhelm yourself for the public. It will burn you out and cause strain on your health and relationship. take a break once in a while and don’t even use your electronics at all. It will benefit your lives. I promise you. You both work very hard and it will catch up to you and you will regret it if you don’t take personal time.
You have a great, healthy thing going now, please don’t burn yourself out. I’m telling you this as a psychologist. You guys have a great down to earth, good wholesome channel and I want to see you succeed in your young lives as I’m sure many people will want that for you also. A lot of people have time invested in you and you don’t want to disappoint them or they will turn on you. It’s just statistics.
I love your channel and wish you luck in success. I love dad working with you. He is so sweet. To bad everyone don’t have that kind of relationship with their fathers and sons. You really have something very special as well as your dad does too.
Your build is coming along nicely and can’t wait to go on the next “ field trip with you guys. My husband died at 46 due to diabetes and I very much look forward to watching you and getting my mind off of things as this is all new to me being alone. I’m young and have never been alone since I was 16 so, this is all new and very foreign to me. Again take care, and be a little selfish once a week with no guilt. The only ones that will benefit this will be you. Now, get you asses busy on that build! Lol haha take care,
Patti Jacob 🦋☮️
When my husband died he was on Social Security because he was so sick. I am disabled, and waiting on Social Security. I cannot work because of my disability, so every time you guys go someplace I feel like I’m going on a field trip with you, as I have no money to even go to McDonald’s for coffee. So it’s very important to me to watch you guys, and I am excited for the next place that we go. Have you decided where we are going yet? Did you guys think of my suggestion about putting the top three places that you guys want to go and have the public pic? I would be happy with anywhere. Do you guys know when we are going? I really looking forward to it. Again take care,
Patti Jacob 🦋☮️
Loving these vlogs! Bob is awesome (father/son bonding 😍) and I love the Bec moments (nice freestyle)! Keep it up! Oh and Eamon, the word is "necesario" (no es necesario). 🌟
Just what I needed after a busy day at uni! I was smiling/ laughing from start to finish! Love you guys!💜
Darragh Moss awe thanks Darragh!! Happy to bring some laughter to your day! Know that you've done the same for us with your kind words 🤗🤗
Looking dang good..,,keep the nail gun lol
Glad you got to keep the nail gun! 😂
It's proven it's worth in under a week! It's a keeper ☺
We used the same pine for our ceiling! We LOVE it.
The best! We learned so many lessons on our first build and are so envious of so many items we've done better with Bob's van already.
hey bob! nice seing you!
I'll pass along your kind words Carlos!!
Yay for Bob doing the intro! (:
He's really becoming a vlogging pro, eh?!
Thanks for giving me my daily dose of goodness. I will remember the ceiling wiring placement issue for my build. I just got a sweet stainless steel sink from IKEA for $45. I mention it incase you are still needing a sink.
Lov’n it as usual.
Hi.Great video! Big like Dealership T-shirt? I on my van build and have unique ideas on my video on portable kitchen.
Bob has such good energy :0)
Eamon how tall are you brother?
SamSchehrer he's around 6 feet ... 6 foot 1ish
How tall are you guys? Is this a high top sprinter?
Hi Eric, yes it's a high top sprinter van. Eamon is around 6'1!
@Eamon&Bec Do you guys have some kind of job or YT is your main source of income?
Hi Phil! You must be new to our channel... WELCOME! We actually own and operate a tea company (that's our full time job and source of income). UA-cam is our side hustle :)
Hello, thanks for the response! I am actually not new to your channel by any means, I just couldn't remember =) Keep up the great work and enjoy life!
how could anyone NOT like your video blogs??? They’re excellent!
Awe, thank you Sheila!! Thanks for watching and spreading some joy this Friday XX
So excited to watch your videos first things first in the morning! Tuning in from the Philippines.:) xoxo Ea&Bec & #VloggingBob. Please add "FAN OF THE DAY" before the end of your videos... Hee hee.
Soon enough Bob qill just end up with his own channel.
I am so enjoying yours and the Minimal Millennials van conversions, it's getting me in gear for summer while I wait for all the rain to pass and the warm weather to come out, and my break from work as well.
I love your Dad! Mine was special! I love what your doing with him! I've shared you with my Chels shes your age! OMG u guys are special!
Love Bob. Love Eamon. Love Bec. You guys are all the best. ❤️ from New Zealand.
I enjoy your vlog, so keep it up.
This is late and after the fact, but, people wanting to do their own Vans, should use stranded wire for DC appliances......and solid wire for AC appliances.
So I don’t see a Mrs. Bob....does Mr. Bob need a traveling companion....☺️
How come you don't call your dad, dad?? Is it just for you tube so we know his name or you always call him that?? Just curios ☺️
I just found you guys and I am loving your channel, I am from Saint John, New Brunswick Canada. Bob cracks me up I love how he is getting the hang of YouTubing. I am hoping that either a) he decides to do to and get his own channels, b) you guys share this channel, or c) he is on future videos.
Cheers Bob!!!!! You are the Man!!!! You make the videos more interesting......
The recipe for success: A hot, young and good-looking girl, a hot and good-looking guy and a young dude! with humor - thanks! ;-)
You might want to check out Habitat for Humanity's ReStore for used sink, cabinets. Great buys, stock changes all the time. Lots of locations in the GTA.
Eamon went about the nail gun situation perfectly! Told you up from he bought it. Let you get mad. Said he would take it back. And sit and wait... let you come around and BAM look who’s using a nail gun. It’s a solid strategy!
Why didn't you just replace one of the wooden panels and shift the LED hole backward or sideways so you didn't have to cut the fan plastic? .....
Bec you are such a good sport. Locked out of your office :( I'd have been a bit sad too. Bun safe van...what a great concept. I don't have a bun anymore, but I'm working on growing out a new one. Totally enjoyed the video! Bob needs a bun and a black t-shirt!
I ❤️Bob! Love you guys, too! But thanks for bringing Bob into the spotlight. He’s gonna be just fine on his own channel once he’s rolling. You’re such a great son and daughter-in-law (soon to be) to help him out!!!
Eamon - if you get stuck on build questions... I am working for Colorado Camper Vans and we convert can them on the daily. I love my new job :)
What kind of screws are you using to get the wood on the ceiling/sides of the van?
Honestly, my favorite part was badass Bob and his juice box. He's so hardcore :) I hope he gets his own Vlog started. But dont stop having him on yours!
Is the back fan also a Maxx Air? Looks more like a skylight/openable hatch which is what I've been looking for...?
I don't understand why you use solid wire for DC van circuit? Stranded 2-wire is easier to use and more than adequate.
Definitely should not use ROMEX to do this wiring, enough trips down the road and that copper will crack and break the circuit
Eamon and Bec we are doing the same in Toronto! Just finished half of the wall yesterday!!!
Could be funny to meet you guys and talk about van stuff.
It is our first!!!
Great series so far. I was wondering why you didn't just move the lights one panel to the right and to the left instead of "ruining" the vent cap? I think there was enough cable for that. Just wondering...
That insulation is amazing!!!
What kind of tongue and groove is that exactly? We’ve been looking for some thinner stuff like that but the specific brands we found haven’t been that great.
Great family project!
Can you tell us what drill you're using? Amazon link? I need a new drill and yours looks like it works really well.
I am enjoying this van build series and your dad is a star! He’s so cute! You guys are all adorable and seem so happy. Refreshing. Keep it up.
Great dad your lucky to have him. Like the build. You work well together. Awesome .
3 things: Bun room always a good thing. The blue thing was a wire nut! I'm ready to join your family.
Just curious, how come people don’t use the aquarium silicone instead of caulking for the fans?
Try Ikea for the cabinet
Thanks for the suggestion! Would be worth a look for sure!!
vivianmahoney1 and on the sink
That spray insulation should really be flush with the wall boards. The more insulation the better. It's neat how you can actually overspray and then shave the whole thing with a thin wire.
Good work, I am learning a lot. I am hoping to do the same. I have a question, what is the name of your insurance for your van?
video so cool and family orientated and I'm loving me some Bob( more Bob more Bob) lol from gennavive🇬🇧
"Should we sit down for 45 mins and admire or..?" Love Bobsy
He has 90 days and can still return it. It’s only been a few days so I’m guessing he had 85 days left!
No offense guys, but I love Bob! You guys didn't puck up. It's all good.
Dying laughing with Becs rap!! Hi Bob!!!!
You go guys! This is awesome! Freestyle Friday?!??
What model maxx fan and what did he use for the second vent? Links please...
Bob is adorable! Look at him getting familiar with vlogging hehe.
Family
How did u tap the puck lights in that 12 AWG wire loop left?
Is Bob married if so what does the wife think about the van?
Eamon's parents are divorced so Bob is a single man!
instead of selling tea maybe you should get involved with doing builds. but hey let me know how to buy your tea so i can try it out
Bob's juice box was a perfect way to end the video!
