so here I am working on the van this morning Saturday morning beautiful day

and this is my first solo vlog I'm not sure where Becca and Eamon went to but

obviously they know something and who shows up at our good friend here

Eric he doing here and he also is nice enough to lend us this tool it's like a

zero clearance saw oscillator and sure a lot of people know what it is the beauty

of this is you can face cut straight into the material whatever you want to

do we wanted to cut this guy right off right here

that'll do it so the bottom line is what it does is I can attest to it we'll save

a whole bunch of your calls oh I thought you were gonna say this puppy will

correct them you have it as long as you need it I'm sure it'll save you some

time all right thanks buddy

these are funny pants good morning tripod I just had a visitor this morning

my first fan no yeah yeah yeah Eric Eric the electrician he said he's come to see

me said the other guys got a lot enough attention he wanted to come and see me

are you putting another strap underneath no no I

oh that's brilliant yeah yeah brilliant thank you

yeah that's brilliant like that you don't get an idea that's good only

happen like once in a every decade they're rare all right

correct me if I'm mistaken what I think he's done is he bolted this board onto

the face of this traced out the lines where this cross slots are gonna be I

hope otherwise it's not gonna fit and then this is gonna be the the one that

pulls out to the side bench

moment of truth we just spent 20 minutes just putting this board together it is

mighty beautiful after it met these a little love a little love and affection

what do you think we got it too tight

okay so let's put this pour it on we gotta get this cardboard on the bottom

side so I'm gonna crawl underneath and just try and fire some nails in there to

get it held what a clever guy it'll be great if you could flip that uh yes

there you go yeah I'm gonna start firing

where its title as tight where I am that was a pretty difficult job that extra

support I've added this little cross beam just with l-brackets all right

let's get this on here no a pizza with your tea freestyle Friday I'm gonna do

lunch on the go I'm gonna quickly pop over to our mattress guy yeah I got a

mattress guys in the same building that we're in it makes these really expensive

organic mattresses but he gave us some offcuts last time I'm gonna see if he

has anything crust he doesn't really sell mattresses like offcuts like that

so I don't know if I would like to refer you guys to go see him but if you need

like a really gangster organic luxury high-end mattress then definitely some

organic mattress it's a place to go he does stuff for

like celebrities so apparently one time who was it something big like like Lady

Gaga was like in Toronto and she didn't like the bed that she was on in the

hotel so she called John and she was like dude I need a mattress boa and John

like rushed I was like a Sunday night or something rushed out to get Lady Gaga's

mattress so you need like a California king mattress give John a call and I'm

all you want to try a slice of vegan pizza we are just kind of having a

little chat ski we're actually thinking that we're gonna leave this situation as

is so we've got the slots working we don't have anything to connect the slots

to but we've got the concept figured out but I don't want to start boxing this in

until we have the electrical done because you want to have lots of room to

work with so we're gonna leave that leave the bed and jump over to the

kitchen after much discussion we have decided we are not gonna buy the Home

Depot cupboards you just have to modify modify modify so that's not gonna work

we're gonna serve a very cheap buy at the end of the day you get what you pay

for we're gonna custom-make this and we're

starting from scratch so here's what we've done to start we've decided that

we're gonna have the counter at 36 that allows an extra inch for the actual

countertop that we're gonna buy from Home Depot because that's what I bought

and it seems to work really great steeps like 60 70 bucks and then we're just

gonna start by building a pretty basic structure of a box and then leave

you know the appropriate room for our fridge we got the CRX 100 shutout -

Dometic so I'm unqualified to be even talking about this but I'm a handyman

and a man's son and he wanted me to open here my dad

no hi my name is Bob okay so anyway we're squaring this up you owe me to

make a mark now yeah it is if you just open up the back door

I might have moved it into the front oh did you

maybe check the front no I moved it hey Peter you want to say hi to the blog

hello you got a good joke yeah look at my

pants I'm looking for donations so you might you

Computers like set in the trends here for all the hipsters he's got the socks

and sandals the tar on the pants the sweater from the 70s and the hat from

Argentina this is a classic Peter of it I'm waiting for the workup Argentina to

win the World Cup keep waiting man kind of at a standstill

in regards to making stuff for the kitchen because it's Saturday we don't

really want to drop the Home Depot it's been our Saturday at Home Depot so we're

just trying to figure out some other things we can do we got to serve maybe

one electrical it's believe it or not we're trying to call to the plan

we've got some homies that just showed up bnm van lloyd you guys met them when

we were in Collingwood but now they've done some serious mods their vans all

done what up girl love the the top rock there bro looks amazing check out the

solar situation a thousand watts of solar to be able to tilt that is insane

that also probably makes it pretty easy to clean

oh yeah Rayna and I are gonna pop out to Canadian Tire because we need to get a

little bit of supplies because Mainers gonna help me install a high-altitude

kit on our Espar heater as well as if you guys remember a lot of your comments

we're saying that we ran a cable through a piece of wire or through a piece of

sheet metal and it didn't have a grommet on it so we're gonna get that probably

too much information anyway we're going to Canaan tire he decided we are taking

the bike I just drove around the parking lot he told me if I dropped it at the

but thankfully I didn't drop it do I get on this intersection here

I guess these lights are still out from a crazy storm we had yesterday freeways

switch this afternoon is turning into a band life meet up some other homies are

just rolled by and it's cool because we met both these couples how to meet up we

did and they both didn't advance and now they both have bands they're doing build
