burr what's going on everyone back at east alton illinois i recognize that bus my
buddy robert's here to help me help me get some projects done also i don't know if you can see
there's snowflakes falling in the background they're probably not showing up but they are there
it's snowing it's about 31 degrees here this morning it's cold and snowy we're going inside
nice and toasty here inside the shop heck yeah thanks for joining me guys i will be uploading
this video with some nomad internet linked below in the video description there's jasmine there
projects have already begun on the rv in fact robert and i started on this last night the big
one headlights corner markers see how fancy those look here's the old ones they just
over time they get really hazy you can sometimes clean them to an effect and
make them look better but one of the best ways to rejuvenate an old art class crv
get some new uh headlight lenses and corner marker lenses also
going with leds robert will you flip that switch on there and show the leds bright bright bulbs
a lot brighter guys i mean it looks like if you go up here it's not going to be in your
eye there's the high beams heck yeah all right let's go hop up on the roof here and take a look
at projects going on up on the roof all right so last night robert helped me remove the big old
bulky over-the-air antenna okay i'm not going to be using that i am going to be using my satellite
dish through dish outdoors so we'll probably be keeping this coaxial and using this as kind of a
a little door that we can put the solar wires down and i got to install my booster later as well but
uh that'll free up a whole bunch of space so we can do some measuring
also gone is the cheap chinsy little solar panel that was there robert kind of just touched it
on this edge and just pulled right up just pulled right up they used tiny little screws
also noticed a little surprise here uh both of these vent fans are new they've been replaced
previous owners uh he just gooped over some of the old holes see this right here
yeah there's no screw there he'd only put like a few screws in him and then just gooped over the
holes i'm like really dude really cut some corners there it's kind of kind of scary so we'll be
taking this one off and then doing some dicor this whole rubber roof here hopefully is going to have
a new rubber roof here well at least one good layer on there my project is the air conditioner
because i mentioned this thing is not not cooling very well it does kick on and it does cool
but it's not doing so good and what you might be able to see here is
see all these what do you call these fins whatever the condenser coil fins anyway for some reason
somebody bashed in the whole middle section and i have been working on this whole section here
getting them back out so all of this row and all of this row used to look like this
and so you want to talk about tedious you got to get this little razor knife in there one
by one carefully and open them back up got to get air flow back in there and then we'll see
see how much better these two rows look so that's going to be my job i probably got
another hour and a half to go on that then we'll see if this ac unit performs a little better
very slow careful process there might even be a a tool online that helps you comb it but
this one's just so bad i mean they're completely folded over
it's not about straightening them right now it's literally about pulling them back
out later on i can worry about getting them straight with a comb right now i just gotta
kind of get it back to working functional open you know very tedious though
there we go much much much better i think it's gonna work better now i could get that comb
and straighten them out perfectly but just prying them loose is uh it's a tedious job
and then uh i grabbed that broom started sweeping i put the side of the broom right
into the bottom here had to work on that another 20 minutes to pull it back out so
i'm gonna be putting this top back on i want to show you what robert's been doing over here
pulled out all the old silicone actually they didn't use dicor they use silicone up here
which you're not supposed to use on a roof it's not meant it's not good and then he pulled off
all the existing stuff here so except for the old like factory dicor on the screw heads of the cap
it'll be really nice to seal all this up once and for all and no i'm not going to have any problems
all right next step we're going to clean this roof going to be mindful of the existing holes
we're going to be covering this obviously and then there's four screw holes here so just kind
of being careful but we're just going to use some scotch brite green brillo pads and got some dawn
in a water bottle here and robert and i are just gonna make sure that the roof is is very very
clean before we start laying down this rubber coating all right and then rinsing carefully
oh yeah yeah she was dirty she was dirty we can uh wash in this shop here because uh
before it was modified auto it was actually a detail shop it was built to be a detail
shop there's a a water grate in the middle of the shop that runs the entire distance of the
middle there to drain the water so it's a perfect place to wash the roof the roof is very very clean
robert's just up there kind of dry in some of the spots that still have some standing water
like around the basin of the fridge here vent and stuff like that and then we'll just keep trucking
on along it's going to look a lot different by the time we get done with this today though
all right i'll show you the preparations up on the roof now there is a little bit of a shortage
of dicor but this is the same exact thing it's protect by camco self-leveling sealant
got a five tubes of this starting with two gallons of the henry's 100 silicone tropical white roof
coating it's got the rubber stuff it's made for rvs trailers mobile homes and everything this
is the best stuff to use a little more expensive than the silicone or the other one a little more
expensive but i think it's supposed to be better at keeping the heat down and everything i'm going
to be applying this first to the roof and letting that dry overnight before coming and die coring
up all of the other little screw holes let me show you up on the roof definitely wouldn't be
able to do this job without having the indoor shop roof's almost completely dry around the whole base
is a uh inch and a half painters tape seal all the way around the entire rv going all the way
down to let the rubber coating get down over every single seam and then combination of rolling it on
in the big areas and cutting it in with brushes around all these get that layer on the henry's
rubber roof coating is rain safe in 15 minutes so that actually dries faster than the dike or
the dike or needs about a week to settle and that'll just be going over everything
and we're getting close we'll take a little break and then start putting on some rubber roof
yeah you see and there's like a layer of clear stuff and then the rubbers below
it does say that you want to get one of these drill attachments that says it in the directions
to uh stir it up there at home depot it's about 79 a gallon so it is expensive and they sell a five
gallon if you want to like save it and you have room to store it for a different rv or project
five gallons is like 380 bucks so you know cheaper but i only got two of these because that's what
they said i would need for my square footage we'll get it stirred up oh yeah liquid rubber heck yeah
all right so i may have gotten the wrong type of roller to put that on like it was too
thick and just took all of the rubber material but either way got the
i'm gonna say the first coat because robert and i were talking about it i
we only used uh three quarters of one gallon actually so i think tomorrow morning i'll come
out here and just pour out the rest of that one gallon maybe store and save the other one
it's just it was hard to get a really good thick layer on here however as you can see there looks
pretty good looks pretty good let's walk over here take one more peek so uh robert was going in and
cutting in all around the edges and around all the units but not going over like the old screw
holes where we're gonna put the decor but yeah and there's where the old tv is we've got a piece of
steel there over the hole glued that on silicone it up and then of course that'll be dicord as well
plus we're pretty sure there's going to be a solar panel over that little square so you're not going
to be able to see that later but it gives me a good idea for the amount of solar one solar
panel width fits between here and there so you can go on both sides and maybe a third there a fourth
fifth back we'll just have to wait and see but yeah looking good gonna tear off this tape before
it completely dries it's gonna feel good to have a good rut new rubber roof here and then uh tomorrow
of course we'll do the dicor and all i'll cut back in here in a little bit but um a lot of work
i think we need a beer here yeah oh and for the record it snowed till like almost 1 p.m off and
on snowing outside the shop freezing outside it's a nice warm comfortable dry 70 degrees here inside
the shop this worked out really really well yep it's the next day robert's up there applying the
second coat really pleased with how well the first coat went on but uh might as well might
as well get it right that other square where the antenna was at it's kind of disappearing
roof is going to be sealed guys huh so glad to have this project knocked off all right we'll
let that other coat dry there got the back garage door open because the fumes uh had the windows
open upstairs so that it could circulate up there so i didn't want to waste the heat and stuff but
the fumes were starting to get a little bad so got all the doors open now gonna be working outside
for a little bit but uh one thing i didn't share with you is that i um i i upgraded my motorcycle
trailer just a little bit i sold the one i got for almost the same exact that i paid for it and
he didn't care about the stripes that i painted on you could have just taken those off too but um
so i'm i upgraded from a five by eight to a six by twelve um it does weigh a little bit
more dry weight is 1380 but still 1380 and a 650 pound motorcycle we're still right there
hauling 2 000 pounds behind the rv which can tow 3 500 pounds total and this is a much nicer trailer
it has this feature here of a it's an rv style door with a dead bolt
and a handle lock it's a really wide door it's locked robert open this
but but this will be nice for just sneaking in to grab something real quick believe it or not
the motorcycle is loaded in the trailer right now yeah see all this extra room here well look
there's the bike that's the 6x12 trailer and a lot more room on the sides to tie down and maneuver
plus instead of a five foot ceiling it's six foot three and six foot on the actual door over there
so a lot more room in here it's still got the venos just thinking of all the you know i could
put my extra generator in there maybe even have a little tool box right here i can just grab and go
and you know having it locked and everything uh it is white it's a hallmark hallmark and uh yeah
robert's gonna help me this one actually did come with the d-rings already installed here
but um we got to put a motorcycle chalk in here buddy jason gave me this one so we're
gonna we're gonna bolt that underneath and get her all situated here here's the outside view it does
look a little bigger than the one i had i mean but it's just going to be so much more practical
it already had the lip for the motorcycle thing and robert and i have already been talking about
you know really utilizing this space like i want a shelf up here that maybe
stores my rc trucks maybe a little table here with a tool box on top just a lot of different uh
how do you get her in yeah she's in there all right man that's perfect no and the bike see
these other these newer trailers they put the axle much more to the rear so the bike pretty
much straddles the axle and you want to have a little bit more weight in front of it so that
this is going to be perfect this is going to be the best little setup for black betty over there
opie love i know this is really hard to understand you know dad being outside and you stuck in here
but i'm working on things to make life better okay just getting them done okay i love your kisses you
