My husband & I the whole time: “I hope they try to pull the bed out over the flooring to make sure it clears!” Seriously amazing job you guys!!! Loving this journey you’re on.
"Just trust us guys" what? You way exceeded my expectations. So much thought and design put into this. I believe you guys can do anything you set your mind to.
Am I the only one who goes back and watches a few past episodes just before tuning into a new upload? 😂 I guess it’s my version of “Previously on The Endless Adventure”. Great job, y’all. It’s amazing to see the progress.
You just need some ½" quarter round fillet to hide the gap between floor and walls, just affix to the wall or unit only so the flooring can move easily underneath. The maths is a lot easier with the metric system, no pesky fractions.
It’s not finished without the trim. The spacers will have to be removed, but what will hold the flooring from moving. In a house, the flooring isn’t moving. It is only expanding and contracting.
Good thing about the vinyl flooring is it helps with road noise and temperature control because of the built in padding and rubber backing on it! Also pretty easy to pop out and replace a single board if it gets damaged later on, so be sure to store all the leftover flooring somewhere laid down flat!
Nice job! My head was scrambled at the memory of what calculations like that do to me! I know it's too late now, but for anyone reading this and doing a similar thing, you could make a pattern of the floor from newspaper and then use that as a template to lay potential floor arrangements on before cutting. It would save on brain scrambling numbers but don't forget to double check measurements of any finished arrangements before cutting. Good luck!
It is exciting seeing the RV nicely coming along and developing. Compared to everyone else doing this, yours has the most character. But also required the most renovating! So impressed with you guys. Can't wait for that first road trip with her to begin!
i love the little community youve build from this series! youve got expert construction workers commenting on every post with such helpful advice and they always give it in such a nice way
File this under both "Too Little Too Late" and "Maybe Next Time" but what my dad used to do for a complicated floor layout was: use sheets of newspaper taped together and rough cut around objects the floor would have to go around. When complete this could be taken out onto (in your case) the garage floor and you have a good template of the floor of your van. This meant you could lay out the planking on the template that a lot of the guesswork out of things like "will 1/4in there mean I'll be under the 2in minimum over by that thing." BUT you all did it with a calculator and careful thinking so Fantastic Job! EDIT: NEVER use the template for the actual cuts! It's for eye-balling that the plan is a go and, if there's a pattern, making sure the order of layout doesn't get screwed up.
Guys- the floor should be the absolute last thing you install. That allows you to beat up your sub-floor while you're finishing installing cabinets and the like. Now take that damn floor out ASAP before you mess it up. Otherwise, it's fun watching your progress.
They mentioned this last time. They said they knew this but for their own mental health they wanted to see progress and were just going to protect the floors as best they could. Theoretically since these aren’t glued down, I guess they could also remove them and replace them later. The hard work was in the planning and cutting.
Since we have vinyl plank flooring in our house, I definitely agree. They have glue on felt for chair legs that should work-you can get them at Walmart or other home store.
I also wonder about the height difference there - I mean, should they have carried the flooring partly UNDER the slide-out portion, so that it stays level when pulled out? That slide is now resting on the subfloor, right? The pull out section will need to be lifted about a quarter inch higher to clear the edge of the laminate when they pull it out.
@@JDCheng maybe they'll cut abit off the legs to level it out, but it might stop the slide out bit from edging it's way out due to vibration when in motion.
Congrats, you have a ceiling, a floor, and cabinets! Woo-hoo! It's so much fun to watch your travels and van/RV build. Thanks for all your hard work :)
Thank you so much guys. Don’t change you are an amazing young couple. All your explanations are excellent. I love the renovation of your vintage RV. As well I love watching you in your trips. Really thank you so much to be who you are. I wish one day I will have the opportunity to meet you. When ever you are going back to Colorado you will be always welcome to my place. Sincerely Hervé 😀
The journey from ripping the floor off to putting a new one is just AMAZING... !!! Very excited for the day when you will be shooting around with this RV.
We are beyond excited for that day too! 😁 Ripping up that floor feels like a lifetime ago...we're so happy to have that project finally come full circle 🙌🏻
Wife and I love your videos. Love following you guys. Glad we found you guys. You guys are great. Can't wait until you put the Motor Home on the road guys.
Coulda fooled us with your no experience - Your RV looks AMAZING! You guys are killing it! Can't wait to see watch the rest of the build guys, well done!! 🍺
This is the best RV adventure on youtube. This 73 year old guy thinks you two are great. Your production is great of the show is the best. Keep up the great work. I will miss this build when it is done.
Hey, Carl from plymouth Uk here!! Really loving your van build, you two have such great personalities, your just so much fun to watch. The floor and ceiling are looking amazing. Working my way through and looking forward to seeing the finally build and your upcoming adventures. Take care !! Carl, Jackie and Daisy the 11 year old Yorkshire terrier 😎😎
Hey there! So glad you're enjoying the series! We actually almost named the RV Daisy 🥰 Glad you're past the scary demolition phase and into the fun building phase 😅
You can maintain straight lines by undercutting some of your cabinets. Same with door trim. You undercut it the thickness of the flooring and just keep laying it down.
This saga would be impressive if this was on Crafted Workshops channel. The fact you two essentially taught yourself every skill needed along the way is pretty incredible.
G'day from OZ, try doing your measurement calculations in METRIC. No fractions, it will make the job much easier. You have already completed the floor already, but an idea for the future. Love your camper videos.
Nice job. When you said about the weight of wood, I immediately thought vinyl was not light but having seen the original carpet, it was obvious weight was not a problem.
wow guys. hi im ron from the united kingdon. i love these videos i wish i lived in the u.s its easier to free roam in vans and rvs i really love both of you and im so impressed with your adventures. kind regards. from ron
I have to admit, although I am a fan of you guys, I was not a huge fan of the whole RV rebuild situation in the beginning. But, an I really hate to admit this, but I swear it’s become my favorite part of your videos!! Lol. 🤷🏼♀️ Like when you go on a road trip, I’m like please go home and work on the RV! 🤦🏼♀️idk what’s wrong with me. Lol. But I’m so looking forward to that maiden voyage of the new & improved RV!!!! 🤗🤩😍
We love watching your videos. Love the ceiling you are putting in, looking at it and seeing the front in a different tone, in my opinion I would clear coat that wood over the cab. Because your front because the walls are different as well.
The RV looks great and it’s so fun to watch you guys! Can’t wait for you to get on the road again. Curious, i spent about two years installing that style of flooring, in my experience it all needs to be tapped/locked into place on all the seams. So you would have a small block with a lip that sits over the lock edge of the board and tap that with your mallet horizontally to lock the board into the previous runs on both the long and the short end bf moving onto the next board. There wouldn’t be any gaps btwn boards. There are some styles that have bevels to give it a more rustic look and maybe that’s all I’m seeing, but a little worried you might’ve missed a step 😓 it won’t last or repel water like it’s designed to if those seams aren’t locked. I hope it’s just the view from here.
Just watched the entirety of this playlist. Great work!! Look forward to seeing the finished product. I found a squishy part of floor under my fresh water tank. Might look into repairing it myself now.
Just started watching you guys and I love your channel, wife and I do Hello Fresh and love it, we also have a dog that looks IDENTICAL to yours and her name is Millie, you are going over the top on this RV! I have a 19’ camper that I am working on right now also, it’s in such bad shape, but you have inspired me to get it done!
I won’t worried about the quarter inch expansion because it such a small area the expansion would be near zero. You could have used a tamping block to really lock each piece together. Maybe you should have put the first piece under the part of the couch that slides out to form the bed. We have been enjoying your RV rebuild series
Been holding off on installing flooring for an upper hallway since 2011, thanks for the DIY confidence inspiring video. Love you guys, buying the flooring tomorrow. ❤️❤️❗️
Try doing things in metric!!! It is so simple!!! You don’t have to deal with 1 2/16’ and such. You just have to deal with decimal points so, it would be in. -> cm is 1 2/16 is 2.8 cm! Easy!!
Love the work guys, for people that are not tradies, well done! I know the US still uses imperial system, but for none profesionals metric really makes the math easier. Please try it the benefits are worth it.
Stubbled across your videos other week I've been hooked ever since you must come back to UK fantastic you've been to my county Yorkshire truly the best place in England
The RU-vid celebrities have returned I always enjoy watching your videos I am glad that you two are safe and the van build was very interesting to watch from the past few months
Congratulations on a job well done. The flooring is absolutely beautiful. You guys are so much fun. You are the first thing I look for on RU-vid every Sunday morning. It makes the whole week worthwhile, no matter what else is happening in the world. I alternately held my breath when you were struggling with the assembly and laughed out loud when you were finished and being “naughty” with your well-deserved wine and scrumptious food. I am someone who can barely assemble a simple table from IKEA. BTW, your videos are so well put together, especially the quick cuts between shots synchronized to the great music. So upbeat and energetic, like the two of you! Greetings from a Senior Citizen in Portland, Oregon.
