Nice!!
Thanks!
I bought my 73 tin top about a year ago and all it really needed was aesthetic repair. Annnnnnnnnd then it was broken into and the wiring got all kinds of jacked up. On a positive note, I am being forced into learning all about wiring and the electrical components. I really dig what you guys are doing!!
News paper is a great idea, I use it in the bottom of my gumboots in the winter, so I don’t freeze my toes when farming. Great video 👍
Till it rains.
Pretty helpful. I'm redoing my 79 Bay Camper and I'll be adding wiring behind the cabinets. I think you might have saved yourself some time by taping the wring in place where the lights would be, then adding the lights as you went, that way you wouldn't have to fish the wires. BUT I have never done this, it was just a thought I had while watching!
Hey. Great video and great job. I enjoy watching you doing this.
Congrats on moving into the van guys!! That's awesome, you're going to have the time of your lives. Where are you going to road trip to? It should be South Carolina ;)
I'm looking forward to your guy's journey!
Longer videos!!! Also I'm so happy that you moved in and can't wait to see more content!
im only 2 mins in, and news paper is good to start a fire, i defiantly wouldn't insulate my roof with it. I would rather have nothing there. Fiberglass insulation if cheep, and works, but all is cool, its your vlog, and i dig anything VW!!
I am surprised you did not rust proof the roof before putting the panels for extra strength before putting the panels.
Awesome job . guys .I'm so looking forward to your journey
With her in the van there would be hard wood all day and yes toung in grove
"Always remember to have fun when you are working"!
Just got a sweet 79 and your vids are giving me tons of ideas! Thanks. Subscribed
I hope ur wiring is good because newspaper = fire hazard.
Thanks for the inspiration, me and my freinds just did the same thing to my vw and it looks great.
Nice. I made redwood door panels for my bus.
When bending boards, U can use steam or put minute cuts half the depth of the boards in the area of the bends... Or both. Good luck.
Love it
Anyway, the wood ceiling is awesome!
not homeless, home free
click bait.... SHE just happened to be in town and came to help.... Yeah right..... But keep her coming....
Michael Caton unfortunately she really was just in town for the day and is now back home in AL 😢
Clicked on because I thought that was Bryce Dallas Howard
The paper you're putting in the ceiling will make a great bonfire when it goes up in flames 😂 great video next time you do a ceiling use rolls of insulation that comes in 1/8 of an inch or 1/4 in at home Depot
Four years and counting, still no bus bonfire
@@Vangabonders 😂😂😂😂😂😂absolute madman
Looks nice 👌 good job guys!
Nice roof indeed
I’m wondering how the newsprint worked out. Having a full-time aluminum-skinned camper I know about getting rid of moisture or preventing it from building up.
I’d expect that to have molded up but I’m curious. Maybe it would be ok in socal or az
It never got moldy but I can't say it was very effective at insulating. Probably best to spend money on a moisture barrier type of insulation
Amazing
Good job...
👍✌️👏👌💯❤️
Where did you find the long thin piece’s of young and grove at?
sitting here like when's the next video lol
Reynaldo Archer soon my friend. We're living in it
Loving the new roof! How has it been holding up? Any improvements required?
It held up great for many years!
Your dad doesn't like you very much. With any level of humidity your newspaper will be damp, then wet, the rot. You'll have some serious humidity and possibly mold issues later...
Cutting corners always end up costing more in the end...
EDIT: Predrill a hole to not crack the wood. You can look up on wikipedia which size prehole you need in relation to the screw size and hardness of the wood...
simonlynchsae we did predrill all the holes for the screws. Also don't believe we'll have humidity/mold problems but I'll update you down the road.
@@Vangabonders Update? Am curious if you had any condensation, mildew, mold issues along the way? I can't imagine that not being an issue.
so what happen to the lady and how did you get anything done with her in that lovely tank top or whatever you call done?
That is what i was thinking big time .
I m not a boob guy but hell , i m still a guy lol.
Damn !!
Guys I'm impressed by you guys living in your van but there are few things you don't cut corners on and that's insulation. Vehicles are damn cold at night.
Nice! What is the size of you boards (LxWxH) and where did you purchase them?
1-in x 6-in x 12-ft Tongue and Groove Edge Unfinished Spruce Pine Fir Board. Got them from Lowes
I love the news paper for insulation
You mite want too put some breather wholes or a vent so the moister and wick out and stay dry up there ,,, just a idea my bro hem, Going too Jordan my brothers woo!,, help the people.....
Overall, how much was your cedar roof? I am currently looking at bamboo headliners for my 1971 bus and I'm not sure if its worth $500. My dream would be to make a cedar roof with puck lights and a light strip going around the perimeter inside, but I'm not sure if it's worth the time. What do you guys think? Was your project done in one day?
The wood for the ceiling itself was less than $100. I got it at homedepot. The puck lights were from amazon and also really cheap! It was easy to do. I definitely recommend going for it. It won't take more than a couple days.
Ceiling panel looks great. Where (store) did you purchase the cedar wood? I want to make something similar for my bay window. Thanks
YaunTodd We bought them at Home Depot!
She is so cute!
What was the dimensions on the bits that you glued to the side of the roof? I didn't see that mentioned anywhere. Cheers!
what happened to the banana mic lol
How has the newspaper held up as insulation?
Where is the banana mic?!?
that wood dawn agen an ppent ferst an dont newspeper for isolation that socks whorter !!!!!!!that vill rust for you!!!!!!
Why dint you insulate the roof? Its going to be cooking in there.
DoubleODude the newspaper seems to be working pretty good. Hasn't been too hot inside today
Vangabonders you put it up on the ceiling? I missed that part. I love the way the roof looks. Great idea.
The original panel looks better
1st
Where did you find the cedar strips?
It's from Lowes
Test relationship...
Excellent footage and information. Curious, what thickness cedar planks did you use and where did you purchase? Keep up the great work. Perhaps we'll run into each other during your U.S. journey. I'm also converting a Bay window bus. @tcfranklin_
