Well another 2 steps forward and 10 steps back in today's ASMR van build video. After ticking off some jobs that needed to be done on the build to prepare for the next steps I made a massive F*** up as I drilled through my lighting cables, leaving me with no lights in the van.

Hi Will. I’m a controls engineer, If you are able to bring your van to my workshop in the new forest next Saturday then I’ll repair those cables for you FOC. Always happy to help especially as your channel is so entertaining and you just get on and try things. All the best.
That's very kind, nice one 👍🏼
Good man. The world needs more people like you sir.
Hi Adam, thanks so much for the offer I really appreciate it. Funnily enough I was actually in the New Forest last week when I made this mistake but have now come back and managed to reconnect the cables and all is well again. I go down to the New Forest quite regularly so would love to head over to your workshop at some point and check it out!
What a kind and generous offer!
Adam Howes, you SIr, are a top bloke :0)
Glad I’m not the only one still walking around in shorts lol
If you’ve got enough slack, just pull the cables out the hole, solder them back together and you’ll be good.
If you don't wanna solder, you can probably just use one of these clamping connectors they use for ceiling lamps. Not sure what they are called in english.
Maybe WAGO?
Sadly not possible as the cables are taped and under all the insulation and vapour barrier so I've had to take of some of the cladding which you'll see in the next video. Main thing is problem fixed and solved!
@@WillsWhereabouts Dont do it again. Naughty boy!
A good sealant is a none setting oil based bedding mastic like they use on caravans its good for roof vents and its stays super sticky.
Your not alone fella, the man that never made a mistake did not get out of his bed!
I know that pain, I’ve had the “you feel like you want to slap the hell out of yourself” moments… but leave it for 10 mins, open it up and just treat it as another thing on the TO do List. , thanks for the content dude!
Hi Will, don't beat yourself up too much over the cables, you can easily splice them together depending on how bad the damage is and you shouldn't have to take the whole wooden roof panels down
It is repairable, 👍
Not the end of the world at least nothing has blown and all of your cladding isn't already all on so you can get to it to repair it. Keep going Will.
Bro chill the viewers with know how will help plz don't stress bro !!!!❤ stay blessed!!!!
Springer Spaniel - you will never have a dull moment. But a lot of work. Haha And I just love the Cocker Spaniel appie. Too cute.
I live the ASMR aspect of this video. Thanks mate.
..might also want to keep a wiring map so you know where the cables run if you want to do future work on the van or re configure your system.
Don't worry will
Without lights also you can live superbly
Love your two little helpers🥰🥰
OMG...I saw that smoke at 7:54 and thought you accidently lit the van on fire or sumthing! That was so cute puppy hoping on seat and laying down to watch all the fun things. Four steps forward, one step back...phone an "electrical friend"....gotta pull down some ceiling boards and get wires mended....will be fun to see the fix! Cheers Will!
Love your “helpers”
I would take the cladding down on that section. I would also think about putting all the wires in more plastic covering/trunking and running it down the side panels of the van and not the roof. You’ve got to do your roof build yet, so move all them wires down one side of the van, this in turn will make it easier for you to access it later on to fix issues.
On a plus point you’ve always got that super duper Jackery unit to power up some auxiliary lighting 😂😂
True story
@@WillsWhereabouts clearly I was taking the piss Will. You are obviously still in the dark mate.
Don't get too disheartened lad. You've done so well. Easy enough fix. Just a ballache at the time. It happens. Chin up.
As many have said in the comments we've all been there and done similar, dont beat yourself up about it. Its good you show the disappointments on your vlogs as well as the highs. Keep the vlogs coming there a pleasure to watch.
You can splice in the wires back together. Real easy. No worries mate
Just a bit of keyhole surgery 👌
yea was wondering the same.
Obviously. The problem is that he already installed the ceiling wood planks so it is a PITA to remove them just to fix the wires he accidentally cut.
@@IMP3TIGO you would fix it from above. Through the hole.
@@IMP3TIGO it’ll be tricky but definitely possible.
Glad I'm not the only guy who would overcome something like drilling on the wrong place.
Trust me Will you're not the only one that overcomes things like this !!!!
Keep up the spirit and in the Summer of 2022 whe can seelots of videos from you camping
somewhere in Europe !!!!
Learn by mistakes will thats what lifes about bro we all do it love your dogs bro nice 👍👍👍👍
Ooh much grimness. Glad to read you've fixed the cables. ---> onwards 🙂
If that's your house/garden it's beautiful and your van is coming along great
See if you can replace the section of wire through the hole you just cut in the roof so you don't have to pull down all your cladding... Hope it works out bud
Cheers Chris
This video is quite than the usual I prefer this type of video god work and good luck with the cable
It was all going so well. I am sure someone will pull a rabbit out of a hat and give you guidence. You aren't the first to fall off the rollercoaster, you will be back on it and be up and running again. You are doing a great job Will.
Glad you got it sorted 👍 the good thing about your videos is your not ashamed to put the ones you make mistakes in, unlike some others
Mate I really felt for you, we all Fxxk up at some time or other. Reading the comments glad you got is sorted out. Keep up with the build as it is very entertaining.
Just remember it's not how many times you fall that count but how many times you get up.
You've proper pimped that van out will top Job mate 👍
Mate don't worry about it, their will always be up & Downs. thats how we learn! you can do this look how far you got. Dont give up and take your time
Unlucky Will. You'll feel better after sleeping on it hopefully ☹️💙❤️
Hi Will
If you pull out your lights from the ceiling and find which 2 lights the broken cable is between. Or use the multimeter to find where power is and isn’t to your lights then if you get a mouse wire set. It’s for pushing or pulling cables through cavities etc. They are only about £5 for the set. It means you won’t need to remove any of cladding. Just feed another cable between the 2 lights and reconnect. If you’re not sure message me and I’m happy to talk you through it on the phone. I’m an electrician and an engineer also on my third van build so it’s professional advice.
Star of the show - The Welsh Springer Spaniel
Ohhhhh Will Will Will Will Will…… felt gutted watching this. I have no words or DIY advice to offer…. So will just drink wine and look forward to your next video. 😳
Oops - on the bright side ..... lovely dog!
So sorry that happened. Setbacks happen though. Glad you managed to fix the cables though. Rrrroooooggggg.
Don’t beat yourself up too much Will. These things happen to us all. You will find a solution to it. It will be great when it’s done and you get into Europe xx❤️
All part of learning my friend, we have all done it, trust me, lol.
Oh no, that sucks! glad you have got it sorted in the end Will, i suppose that is all part of the learning with the van build. You didnt give up, and it coming along nicely.
Oh will, don’t be cross with yourself , there’s someone in the comments who may be able to help, we are always here to help you if you need us. When building a van conversion, not everything goes to plan, you have done an awesome job so far. I reckon it could be fixed with a little help.keep going Will, we learn by our mistakes. Your dogs are beautiful. All the best Will. 👍✌️🤞🤞🚐🤟🏼🐄🐄🙏
No worries will. Mistakes ll happen. Chin up
You will fix it! 🙁I feel so sorry for you, after all your planning. Good luck
Nice 👍 Camp-van dude so Epic 🇬🇧
Don,t worry , you who never makes mistakes? those who never try so cheer up you,ll find a solution for sure, cheers from Spain
pull some of the slack through the hole and joint the cables them push them back in.
Reach out to all the people who love what you are and have done Will, I am sure lots will be only to happy to help and then you can continue your Journey, we are all with you 😎 Steve IOW
Enjoyed the AMSR start... enjoyed the swearing part more! 😂 Don't stress out to much Will, I'm sure once you've calmed down and stop kicking yourself, that you'll find a way to fix it without having to tear the van apart. 🤔😉
Will In case it rains bud, don't forget when your removing some of the cladding and joining up the wires some dim witt drilled a fookin hole in the bloody roof. You will laugh about it when it's done...your doing a great job buddy...keep it stealth no stickers...trust you find the blonde with a lovely plump posterior...🤞😉😜
Everyone drops a bollock or two when working on a project Will....just part of the learning curve mate so don't worry about it. Btw, on a more upbeat note, the editing on this vid was excellent...very well put together indeed 👍
Oh no 🤦♀️ lol. You’ll be right I’m sure you fixed it up already. Thanks for sharing the mistakes I admire your courage to do that. ❤️🙏✅👍👏🤩👌.
Don't panic! Everything is fixable. Great content BTW.👍
Aww mate i really felt for you at the end,you looked absolutely gutted,hopefully you can get it fixed and it don’t cost too much Will
As said in the comments, if you can get hold of both ends cut and splice, bit fiddly but save taking the cladding down.
Yeh like everyone is saying, get the tweezers out and find the two ends, then get a new piece of wire, say 5cm long, and connect it in the middle using just bog standard connectors like from a connector block you get in halfords. Cheap as, like £3. Sorted! You cud solder, but cud be messy up there with the wool etc.
At 1:51 seconds into the video i had to get up to use the toilet 😂 😂 another great video though.
These things happen, you'll be able to fix it....dont fret
Once your on the road traveling about mate you will forget all about the hardships to get there! Nice house by the way 😏
Bloody hell, is that your gaff? 🤙😎
It's close enough to the end there so just pull down a few ceiling planks and fix the cable. All good mate. Onwards and upwards. Love the ASMR style van build vid too.
I do love watching you vlogs it is entertaining keep up the good work
Woes aside Will, superb story telling and edit!
oH. CRAP FELLA !! You will work it out 👨🏻🌾✊️🐑👍☮️❤️😁😂😂
Pull down the adjacent fittings and snake a new feed between the two or put an access patress in the ceiling and join the cables through the hole put up a cover plate over the hole as if it were meant to be there :-)
I know it no comfort but it’s the sort of thing I do when diy-ing.
Oh Will I think we all feel your pain Pal. I must admit I was surprised you drilled where you did. I`d have put it above the cab area, nicely out the way !! Never mind Pal !
Complaining about the cold but wearing shorts: Will’s logic, love it. @Will you’ll figure this out with some help 👍🏼
Figure out which connection in your light circuit has been cut, pull new wire from hole to hole with help of cheap fishing rod (cheap, flexible, hook in the end) or if lucky, by pulling new wire in with old (cut) wire.
Honest mistake, everyone makes them - thanks for sharing, now there is an adventure of recovery to be seen.
The adventure of recovery has been successful today, will share that later in the week
@@WillsWhereabouts Glad it’s been fixed
Like suggested before, drop the cladding and splice. You'll need to run cable anyway for your new toy. Screwing up and fixing the screw up is the fun part of maintenance!
Will am sure you’ll be able to fix it!
Improvise Adapt Overcome. Wires are meant to be cut and spliced back together 😌. Crack on Will!
Will, you’ve to expect this to happened more so when it’s your first built. In construction, it always pay to have as-built plans done. It may be tedious initially when preparing it but you’ll never know how important it is subsequently when you need to work on the areas. Well, take this as a learning lesson and definitely will be very valuable for your viewers, especially newbies, who want to do their own vanbuild.
Looking at the brighter side, your content for your next video is already found.
One piece of advice for boxer/ducato/relay owners if you fully cover the back doors you neer to think about acces to the number plate bulbs which you change from inside the van.
Try not to get down about it. You'll get through it.
Will we have all done it from time to time just get the soldering iron out Take your five minutes of soldering and crack on with the rest of the job brilliant video as always honestly if you’ve got the cable up through that hole it really isn’t as bad as you may think good soldering job with some heat shrink never give you any problems you won’t have to touch the cladding underneath good luck Will 👍🏼
How frustrating for you. Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm sure you'll get it sorted😊👍
Hopefully you have enough slack wire to pull each side through the hole and join the wires back, even if the wires weren't near drill zone, the twisted wool could have dragged them into the vortex, try and drill the second part of the big hole from the inside if you need the same size hole all the way through, as it looks neater than if your hole is drilled all the way through from top, I always thought you lived in London, but that looks more like the country, I guess your folks home as you know where everything is and have free roam of sheds and pets know you well
That is why the ceiling doesn't go up until you are sure that you are done drilling holes through the roof.
Hi Will if you ever needed a hand in building your van I be happy to give you some help 😊 everyone makes mistakes but they can always be fixed 😊
Is there any chance of you fishing for the wire, pulling it down and splicing a short section in the line. Or how about installing another pot light in the same spot allowing you to cut a bigger hole. Better still , if you are considering cupboards in that spot just cut the hole bigger and patch it with a cover after you rewire.
Sadly not possible as the cables are taped and under all the insulation and vapour barrier so I've had to take of some of the cladding which you'll see in the next video. Main thing is problem fixed and solved!
@@WillsWhereabouts Note To Self: Don't tape your cables and be sure to leave enough slack in them for whenever some wanker might accidentally drill through them.
Will, real life pal that's why I like your vlogs I've not got a van yet but you definitely make me want to get one ✊keep going ✊
get back on the roof, pull both ends of the wire through the hole, small JB, poke it all back in and forget it.
Thats th way....when the cables are long enough...only a few cm....
That’s what I would do as well. If the wires not long enough then you can always just splice a new one to both ends.

@@WillsWhereabouts You will have many more, good on ya for not making it look a breeze. If you don't all ready, tune in to your fabricating side coz funk all will fit your van when it comes to final fix and making it look pretty.
Easy fix if you can get to both ends, pull them out of hole, strip wire, heat shrink over wires, solder them , then pull heat shrink over joint, then shrink put back say nowt
You’re lucky you have the cables to hand. Clean cut them, trim them and heat shrink them together… easy 20min fix mate 👍
This can be done through the hole you have cut in the van roof too. No need to take any of your cladding down.
Been there mate. Keep it up.
Shit happens Will. You’ll get there!! On a plus note…Brilliant videography.
youre one funny youmg man loving the ffs sound like me
What's with no talking thats the best thing I like about videos .
Either pull the cable up though the hole. Tape it up and all good to go. Or you will e to take some cladding down. At least it's near one side so not so bad. Good luck
Bad luck there mate 😤🚐💨
It's all good will we all make mistakes it's a learning curve
Swear words are still just words. Dont give up. You will fix it, we have fait in you.
Love from NEPAL .
ALL WILL BE OK
Pop out the lights either side of the cut wire and feed a new cable through between, no problem, quick fix and no taking the cladding down
Hope you get it sorted Will don't be too hard on yourself.
All sorted now :)
Simple splice to fix. I sure wish you had someone knowledgeable to help you out. Hang in there.
Cut the cable and add conectors on each end of the cables so you can just plug it back in. Go from the roof just pull the cable through the hole you made add the connectors. Or strip the white housing off and solder it back together cover with heat shrink. We have all done it Will just take a step back deep breath dont panic. I put a screw through a water pipe when i worked on site plummer wasn't to happy but it happenes 👍
Gently push them to the side so they're still accessible, finish that hole for your antenna and as others have said, splice them. Make sure the splice isn't too tight and in the way of your cables though. Extend it if need be so there's slack and push them out of the way.
Strip the cable and splice it using a plastic connector.
Glad you got it sorted, i hope my kids want to do something like this when older would love to have a bash with them get stuck, in, mid garden room build constantly learning along the way with mistakes, good to share them, keep up great videos
