I love how hubby and I both get so much entertainment from your vids. He learns how to build a van and I get to see a climbing kitty master. 💖💖🐈🐈 Love the new kitty too. Learning every day that it's ok to be touched. 🤣💖🐈 Thanks so much for sharing. -Troy & Aimee
I've been watching you guys since you guys bought this van and I am always amazed how both you and Ladi works so hard to get this van smooth and great lookin'!😍 Thank you for adding more inspiration for me to start working on my own van by the end of this year,️ You and the Vanwives inspires me so much!💛 Ps. I've accepted that my adopted cat is really dead and now in peace, thank you Millie💚
I absolutely love your videos! Especially the bits where Ladi is working and Margaret is narrating and explaining the thought process. So good! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
hello you guys are awesome [the knot is a uzel english/usa is silent K] never ceases to amaze me the detail and work you put into your builds they just get better
this channel deserve more followers. seen so many DYI Campervans build. But this actually shows how much time / work / preperation need to be done before starting on such a project. love it :)
If you like dark ceilings you could get an LED star mat that creates a star sky inside the van.. (like they do on Rolls Royce).. The mat would be installed behind the black roof lining and each little LED would be an individual star shining through.. Impressive feature at night.
@@ladiandmargaret I have cats too so it makes me so darn happy whenever you include Millie and other cats in your videos. It’s what made me subscribe to your channel!! Lol. Wishing you all the best in your van conversion and your other projects!! ❤️
Glad to see you guys back. You're looking great as always. Got to say, I can't believe the progress yous have made. Loved the journey. Also, I use to work for DPD and I know some of the bugs around the vans but I'm amazed at how much work yous have done. It looks amazing. Great work.
Very detailed work as always. Looking forward to seeing what you get for a CNC machine. I always enjoy time in my shop, especially when creating something new with the CNC Mill.
Hello you both! I just subscribed after seeing some of your nice content. I wanted to share a good idea for curved ceiling panels: Use vacuüm under foil to glue large curved panels. Just prepare a single large curved mold in advance that is airtight and covered in (teflon) tape so it can be used over and over again! This is a wellknown technique and is commonly used in the yachtbuilding industry. Hope it helps you increase your business. Keep on going! Cheers
Oh hey, I worked with CNC machines and I'm procuring a laser for my next job at a new shop. They are very cool tools but cnc does better at production things, your projects being custom one of a kind means all the time spent programming isn't saved when you could just cut it by hand. Laser on the other hand is good for making templates or things out of thin wood/plastic. Thanks to it's speed I could see laser used in your shop, but again it's still better to be used in larger scale production.
Great progress, great extension of the shop 👍 Not in the CNC thing yet but soon. Making some changes to our office/workshop to host a large scale CNC, ideally combined with a laser, if our plans of a CO2 laser combination works. Diode lasers are just not powerful enough to make sense. Sorry for the OT, I know you have another insulation topic video, but Im wondering about the glass/rock wool insulation in the structure. Dont you think moisture will enter that area and condensate within, gets wet and mouldy? Dont know if youre planning a vapor barrier though, then it would be no prob 😉 *edit* ..well, got it in the vid, seems like youre going for a full vapor barrier, not ususal in the van conversion biz but why not! Looking forward to the results. Actually I was considering to add some PI humidity sensors in the isulation areas, just to get some data for that ongoing moisture discussion 😁
So we basically skipped over the barn reno? I need more details at some point. I couldn’t figure out how you were removing weight from the beams, u til you started chipping out the cuts you had made. So smart, yet again. ❤️
good progress, im still expecting to press play and see an "Ivan Miranda" custom cnc in the workshop, i can imagine Ladi making a huge version, Ladi style of course, search on youtube if you dont know what i mean, it has Ladi written all over it
I'm in the process of watching your van build as well as someone else's house reno on YT. I have to say I'm ready to see some walls go up on both projects 😂 also every time you say ahoy I just think of a ⛵ 🤭 does that mean hello in Czech?
Ahoooj /Helo 🙂 Thank you for all your amazing video-guides!! May I ask please,how are you 'installing' nuts fir screw driving(nýtovací matice). Can you recomend some tools/ways how to install it?? Are you confident with Lidl-Parkside saw? Thank you!! Enjoy travelling 🍀
Loving the build. Just had a thought, I think triggered by the security thumbnail, but what are you doing about fire protection? Is that even a thing? Just a random thought....
What is that other white ducato doing around your workshop?….are you guys taking any van build order?…. Btw love your videos guys, very detailed & informative….♥️
Seems like the height gained by using a curve much less than the thickness of those pieces, perhaps just screwing the ceiling panel directly to the metal would be better?
By removing the middle of your beams to save weight you also serendipitously created hidden space to run wire or pipe if needed 👍 Also, is it just me or does Mitzi look a little bit pregnant?
I see you screwed the ceiling framing into the metal. Did you not create a big thermal bridge? We had some screws in our ceiling and they got really cold and had condensation
Vše supr držím palce, vše precizní ale ty dřevěné konstrukce bych min. naimpregnoval dělal jsem to také. přece jenom se tam vlhkost dostane a to dřevo rádo hnije.
Frequently the music is somewhere between irritating and obnoxious on many various video channels. I must say, you do unfamiliar, to me, music that is on balance quite enjoyable. Good job…
