what's up guys welcome back to another video we've got some really exciting
news today how we gonna start this well it's pretty obvious at this point isn't
it it is obvious we are sitting in an empty Sprinter van this is a 2008
totally gutted Sprinter van that we are starting new today starting a new goal
today starting around a lot today starting around those on today so two
things that are very exciting number one is we are doing another build
number two is that we are doing daily vlogs are you committed we're committed
it's happening daily vlogging starts today just for the bill we'll see how
long it lasts they'll be super cool for you guys to be able to follow along
every single day showing you the journey going to Home Depot we're gonna try and
explain to you and give you a really easy understanding on what is involved
in converting a van and it's gonna kind of be like you're coming along for the
ride it's so interesting because we've done this before and so in my mind it's
not that big of a project but sitting in here it's a little intimidating all over
again so I think a lot of people are like wow what are you gonna do at the
sake of that I think so we are not selling these vans we are converting the
van for a dear friend of ours someone you guys have all met well yeah enough
talk about him let's bring them in whoa where'd you come from buddy good
excellent we're super excited this is gonna be my dad's van and he is
obviously gonna participate a lot in the build you guys have seen him he helped
us out a lot with our build so he's a little bit jealous and he's gonna be
again abandoned his own to do some adventures so that's what's going on I
hope you guys are excited I can't stop smiling I'm really excited
any odd layout I just think it'd be a really good opportunity maybe Bobby you
feel comfortable chatting to the camera that Lawton these guys know what the
layout situation well that's gonna be your van works so well that I think it's
gonna be not that much different than your event maybe a few things that we've
learned as we did it but I think overall it'll be very similar the event it'll
just be done much easier now we've done one and the paint departments ready bomb
so all right so hope you guys are super excited for the next couple of weeks
we're gonna be producing a video every single day starting today even cannot
stress load it up let's get going guys the first thing that we're gonna change
and the first thing that we're going to start with today is we're going to
elevate the floor so we're gonna use like a 2 by 3 and actually do a really
really good job of insulating my dad is a little bit shorter so he will not have
that issue of hitting his head
two by threes stuff okay are we just running on the length of the
van no every so often we get a nail gun that's back we might get to know them
the figure we get the floor on rock-solid and then we build up from the
floor I hope that's the right way to do it oh here we go
all right this is gonna be the first of many trips here at the Home Depot
oh thanks brother appreciate that we're gonna count the amount of trips we go
all right this is on one first trip of the year and the build guys you got to
make sure but they're straight see if you look along the line that one's okay
but look at this one hockey stick how many how many ways grabs meaning so back
is probably gonna kill me but this was on sale this is a nail gun I've wanted
one for a long time it is cordless so it works with Milwaukee tools already have
but it's 300 bucks I'm gonna buy it and always return it sorry back you ready to
go hey Don yeah 40 of these so that guy said I could use that nail
gun for 90 days and still return it it's perfect
again why didn't we think about buying a nail gun blog how to drive how do i blog
you point out your face yeah it's just wondering why we get to push a button
oh yeah okay look there yeah I was just wondering why we didn't buy a nail gun
last time the guy was just telling a man you could actually buy a nail gun and
try it for 90 days and if you don't like it for any reason whatsoever you can
just return it to them so that seems to be a little strange but we're gonna do I
guess over a nut Charlie you're gonna get some b-roll b-roll is like when
you're when you're shooting you need you cut that clip and now you're overlaying
some all right we're gonna intro Bob's b-roll
half an hour 45 minutes i know ii build i know what to expect
home depot trips take at least to double to triple the amount of time this guy
says they will and i'm probably got to gear up for some painting donut well
buddy buddy buddy not even painting necessarily as much as bracing yourself
for our new milwaukee no nail gun
ayman you can't just buy a nail gun well I bought it we can always return it but
it was on sale snitch you're a bad kid I know I can't have
kids with you that's dangerous man holy crap kid you can't just go to the
Home Depot and just pick up whatever tool you want that's not how it works
you wanna see it no you're not keeping it go return it I
knew if she didn't take it well we can't do much if we don't eat so I'm just
making the boys and myself some lunch well no it's unreal I know really good
vegan Caesar salad with just like a big veg potato kind of okay first step of
the day is we're gonna lay down our boards we actually decided and going
like this people in like this will save a little bit of height and then we'll
just get the the right thickness of you know insulation and insulate the entire
floor
this van came with these bolts that were coming up at no idea what they would
have used but they're just a little bit higher than the wood that were or the
floor that we're laying so I'm just gonna bust those off
we've been spending a bit of time playing around with this because step
here the metal is not as flat as everything else so we're shimming under
here and raising that up and then we're gonna pop it down so there's one so
there's no spring when you step on it yeah this is the most walked area so
that's why we've added extra support there we've got those supports a little
bit tighter that one's a little bit wider because that's where the
continents going so just to get a little extra support last thing you want to do
is build your whole bin and then your floor is a little squishy before you get
some shaking I just want to be a part of the series tink my dad's getting tired
but I'm ready to keep going I'm gonna do a few more straps I think just to kind
of get that project started so that we can just smash it in the morning and
move on to something else my landlord came by and he was talking to us about
spray foam and he says for sure for sure for sure you want to check out the kits
that they sell at Home Depot so I'm gonna head there they'll be tonight and
check that out as well you have any snacks in there
Gino Hey learning your photography skills there
by the end of this you might have your own channel hashtag Bob on YouTube if
you guys want to see Bob start his own channel you can speak it's not gonna act
on it just like all brah you know Danny love it okay I got uh proving that
fruiting it pushing through guys so we're gonna the floor has been laid we
haven't made any decisions on kind of our installation and everything but now
we're going to move on to strapping that's kind of the next thing we're
looking at doing we're gonna do a three quarter inch floor so I've got that
board just laid at the bottom there and we've used this what's this called 1 by
1 by 2 1 by 2 thin strapping and I'm just gonna that's gonna flex in there
I'm ready to do self toppers into there so that we have wooden studs took that
we'll be able to put the wall on and that's going all the way around the bed
another great reason about this setup is you can turn it into a work van so you
can fit all your two by fours even with the bed down
she focused on me so while the boys are doing that van I am working on spring
cleaning in this van this has been the first really nice day in a long time as
you can see I got bare shoulders that's a good sign
look at how nice these cupboards are all looking so clean and organized if your
og viewer of ours you know what a mess this area and particular always has so
killing us I got it anyways back to the van belt I don't
wear that calling you said a man give the technology to just set the camera
there and then make it go blue I said yep we can do that enter climb
lots now
okay all the walls have been scrapped I think I just told you guys how he did
that but basically we use this bit here and we've pretty drilled them because we
wanted to countersink that's everything's flush and then we just use
these self tapping screws it's so important that you get one with like
that little wing on the end yeah so there's two different types and these
ones just works so well so once you've got that hole you just fire it in and
you can kind of see the wood takes shape of the vent starts to warp a little bit
size 14 that's a wrap on day one very stoked on day one completion we have
finished the floor we have finished the strapping we got to figure out an
insulation solution and then tomorrow we're gonna start the wiring
pretty exciting stuff yeah let's go eat some soon that concludes
