Thank you 😊
good vid
Thank you 😊
Great video, nice job 😊
Thank you ☺️
i already have that very same laminate in my van ! Alas i will be removing it because i find it too slippery and don't want to risk causing myself serious injury when miles away from help ! assuming i am able to call for help ! i am going to fit flotex carpet tiles instead being waterproof and easy to clean or replace ! good vid though bud !carry on !
Ohhh flotex I love that stuff I’d forgotten all about that thank you for the reminder I’ll have to get some now for my van Becky needed wood because of her little dog 👍
Would have liked some info. what sort of flooring, underlay, glued, edges, why you decide where joins etc 😎
That’s all coming up on Rebakahs channel 👍
👍👍👍
👍😊👍
Fitted that floor in my last 2 vans. Copycat 😉😂
😂👍
It’s lush - I can see we both have great taste and budget friendly too!
@@SACREDTRAVELLER yeah definitely. Essential to keep it clean and it gives it a wet look. Doing well with the build you two, keep it up 😎👌
Wow that’s extremely shiny floor wow looks better to mine not so shiny floor 😂
Looked super cool on time lapse, you are the top man Mel and super talented 😊
Does it matter I laid my floor the width way instead of length ways like you did Rebecca’s floor? The floor really goes well with the van :) 😊🤗😎🍺
Thank you so much 🤗
@@BigVanSmallWorld 🤗
Doesn’t matter which way you lay laminate in a van, just personal preference. If it were in a house you’d lay the floor the way the room flows - to make it feel bigger and draw your eye either length ways or width ways. Depends on which way the room is bigger. Does this make sense!?
@@SACREDTRAVELLER yes sorry. 🙏 thank you do like the shine on your floor
Mel, does your Jackery interfere with your radio when switched on? Old fashioned transistor radio, not DAB. Mine causes static feedback if it's anywhere near my radio. 💜Morgan
I really don’t know as I don’t use radio sorry 🤦♂️
@@BigVanSmallWorld No probs. Thanks!🙂
Hi Mel! I’d like to know if in your opinion Vinyl plank is better than vinyl sheet for camper vans. I’m really in doubt about each one choose.
Yes, definitely
Buy a jigsaw fella and looks like lots of straight butt joints rather than offset? You should always stagger the rows.
Watch the video again and you will see I have staggered the planks 👍😅👍
Ooh matron. Builders bum. Yours was bad too Mel 😂
Ops sorry about that 😂👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld it was funny. No probs 😂
where was the underlay nice you two an item
There’s underlay it’s blue 👍😊👍
Hi,
what do you use to edit videos? Thanks Dean.
I’m currently experimenting with i movie I’ll talk more about this next Wednesday thanks for the great question 👍😊👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld thanks for replying. I’m loving the videos 👍
Nice Quickie Mel, From the Higher Cam Mel did you make the Joints all in the Same Place , looks like there was a def line going across?
No mate all good 👍
All the joints were scattered as they should be 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@BigVanSmallWorld just from the Cam Angle and light it looked 1 Continuos Joint Mel
@@deenunya7735 I noticed that too Dee but after careful scrutiny as we do 🤣 I noticed it was an illusion 👍 I think the cam angle and floor grain pattern messed with our heads 😂
You need to leave gaps on all sides for expansion. It is wrong the way you did it.
Trust me there’s gaps 😂👍
There’s gaps everywhere. Always leave room for expansion and shrinkage 👍🏻💚🚐
Lovely job...Mel your getting like some old couple 👀
Thank you 😊
👍🍺
Hope you don't piss the neibours off with all that work over the last few weeks!
There all sweet 👍
They love the intrigue. They always coming over to chat and see what we’ve been up to! 🤣🤣🤣
Stuff is rubbish, it will swell and warp , you Wii be ripping out after your first winter
Thank you I look forward to doing it again soon 😂👍
Ha ha ha , we will let you know if that ever happens 🤣🤣🤣
Am I missing something here? Where's the "How to" part of this video? Showing something in time lapse isn't the same as demonstrating or explaining what you're doing. With the camera above and behind you, the specifics of what you were doing were obscured a lot of the time. Congrats on the install, but this is not a "how to" video.
Thanks for watching
becky does he wave his hand like tony blair all the time? love Mel but these geastures are so donald trump
Haha thanks for that
