Thanks for the shout out, I actually watched out moped adventure video yesterday was a fun trip. Remember Ian launching himself drunk onto the floating pontoon after our drunken night out at that crazy floating pub, ha ha was so funny!
Yes, we are. I'm in Rhodes at the mOment trying to sueeze the last out of summer. First week was lovely blue skies, and a yellow sun. Last Wednesday the jets appeared, and it's been relentless. Now got a white sky, pale sun, and the temprature has risen from a nice 25c to over 32c. A heat dome has been created. We got talking to a young' German lady the other day. She knows it all, wide awake. She said things got pretty bad in Berlin if you didn't have the jabberwocky. Keep the faith, we look forward to your videos.
I can't be the only one who thought OMG when you bought it. So it's great to see it having some love. I love old stuff & tell my wife that regularly....... my car is 1992, my scooter 1962 so my first motorhome will be pretty old too.
@@SocksWithSandals Before retiring l was a tradesman and saw plenty of these parked up on drives. Many had severe A pillar & lower rot, yours seems to have escaped that, luckily.
I'm almost going to miss the renovation stage of owning The Mansion once it's on the road, parked up in various stunning locations, and meeting interesting people.
Takes one to know one, Steffan. Don't forget, we are two of the top billion people who saw through the most elaborate psychological operation ever inflicted upon a civilian population.
And don't release videos of your location until after you have left, Teresa. They are out there in vaster numbers than I ever thought possible. 🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟♂️🤪🧟♀️🧟♀️🤪🧟♂️🫠🔪🔪🪓
Well done Tim glad to see you got your new starter and alternator. Are the leaky skylight's leak free now. You seem to be a lot more happier in yourself good to see and don't let stalker's get the better of you just give them a knuckle sandwich and send them on their way.
I am always content and grateful within myself, Patrick. These past two weeks have really proven to me that there are so many anonymous creeps not on top of their mental health who lack the courage and abilities produce their own TH-cam videos yet in their twisted minds believe that I am their friend. I'm the guy with the Rambo knife.
@@SocksWithSandals Tim I forgot to ask did you think of getting a new alternator belt to go with that New alternator it might stop that loud squeaking coming from your belt when your mansion is ticking over.
I counted the reflective strips on your jacket to make sure you're wearing the correct PPE for starting the mansion 🙃 good to see the motorhome coming along Tim 👍
now i understand your concerns and taken measures to protect yourself, hopefully not a common thing ,moving swiftly on, pardon the pun, the start up im guessing no electric fuel pump, so takes a bit to get to the spark, but its showing alot of potential ,van needs moving which will happen very soon ,after yer sort a few little gremlins ,its all happening now and soon a moving home, that you can have pride in, youve done great and saved from the scrapyard and turned it into the mansion, with the external leaks sorted ,very soon you will be well sorted a credit to yer cheers sam soon be purple rain through the rad tints 😂
Excellent video Mr T, it's a good job you covered up your new private number plate. SWS 11 , I see what you did there. Oops, you can edit that part out!
Yes a fan belt definitely. The solenoid is a heavy duty relay that sends a high current (800 amps) directly from the battery to the starter motor rather than through the key switch in the steering column.
@@SocksWithSandals Sorry Tim if my question was a little ambiguous. What I should have said was, why have you bought a solenoid when the pre engaged starter already has one 🤔
This is so interesting, yet more steady progress! Engine started, I could sense the pure excitement as you turned the key and it ignited, the brick work walling effect looks super, I can imagine when it's all completed it will be a total transformation, I assume it's not the shower in the Mansion you got working just yet? I find it unbelievable all this stalking nonsense you have had, people seem to think because they watch you they own you! these people if you can call them human beings are just mentally unstable, everything is coming together, new alternator, starter motor, what can possibly go wrong! All positive. 👍🙂
Love the Pre Halloween, Hammer Horror Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee intro Tim. The price of fame, your such a likeable guy that people feel they know you. Were they only males that stalked you and not females ? That seems a bit Gay ? Haha There's a lot to be said for faceless channels. I wouldn't want to be famous as I have a face for radio lol
💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
Soon be on your travels again .
The road awaits... 🛣🚐
Looking good mate it’s all coming together great job your doing 😎👍👍
We all love a van tidy ❤❤❤
"We" being the OCD contingent.
When my old van starts, it puts a smile on my face too, it's the little things. Good show, Tim.
Small victories, Martin! 🥳 🎉
Great vid mate, i punched the air when she started
...same here lol...
It's alive!
I like how your Van life channel never gets tiered Tim. Thank you for keeping the masses entertained with your art.
Always top tier entertainment, Seds.
I watched elon's booster doing a perfect return to it's starting point last night. Very impressed.
Perhaps you meant to write this comment under a different video, Sue, This was a video about fixing a leaky motorhome.
Thanks for the shout out, I actually watched out moped adventure video yesterday was a fun trip. Remember Ian launching himself drunk onto the floating pontoon after our drunken night out at that crazy floating pub, ha ha was so funny!
I was laughing so hard I couldn't sleep.
Then four of us on the moped at night off-road!
Oh my god, that was mad, 2 on seat,1 on back rack and 1 in basket on front ha ha was hilarious!

At 35 years old, The Mansion has proven the test of time.

I doubt this has ever been on the road in winter after the gritters have salted the surface.
I had that exact same diving knife!
I could do with the sheath for it if you still have it!
Tip for the glow plugs ,soak them with wd40 or plusgas ,at least a day before you attempt to remove them , I'm glad I did .
... Good vid as always
Top tip. Thank you, Pete.
Liking the brick work, looks great.
Can't guarantee it's level, Mick!
🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱
Great to see progress on the mansion.
Thank you, Other Nigel.
Great Vlog Tim the mansion is almost ready for its first maiden voyage on the open road 🏴🏴🏴👍
I probably won't smash a bottle of champagne on the side 🍾 🥂
@SocksWithSandals a drink of Iron bru will suffice lol !!! 🤣🤣🤣🏴🏴🏴👍
Its starting to good really good. Had my doubts at the beginning but u have done extremely well
I was never in doubt, because I was doing the project myself. Furthermore, I knew Previous Owner Tony would not sell me a lemon.
Realy fantastic progress, good one you 🎉
I'm almost going to miss the renovation stage of owning The Mansion once it's on the road, parked up in various stunning locations, and meeting interesting people.
Nice to see you’ve made the mansion water tight.
Well done Tim. You are a bit of a genius.
Takes one to know one, Steffan.
Don't forget, we are two of the top billion people who saw through the most elaborate psychological operation ever inflicted upon a civilian population.
Great progress looking good 👍
Chairs Ben. I'm flying those flags proudly! 🏴🏴
It's getting there Tim come on finger out son 😊❤
🫡
What video was the moped adventure would love to watch it 😎👍👍
Look at the playlist section on my channel, you will find it.
@@SocksWithSandalsjust had a quick look for it didn’t find it what season was it and how long ago 😎👍❤️
th-cam.com/play/PLHpJcf7hJEQt90UgnkBE5lGFzb1D2AgXt.html&si=F-ePu61n2IkSkqMy
Well done time more good progress made.
And thank you for having the decency and etiquette, Steve, to request an invitation to come and visit me.
The 5 ton bricks look good.
Obviously I have had to beef up the suspension to cope with 1½ tons of bricks 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱
Taking shape in time for winter. How will you heat it? Diesel heater?
All in good time
"IT'S ALIVE"
I will be covering my number plate up from now . Be safe. ❤

Mansion looking good 💯
Getting there.
What age is your van ?? Mines a 1991 fiat ducato 2.5td but its flame start not glowplugs
'88
Getting there mate , going to be outstanding
If you empty you're pee bottle on you're garden you wouldn't believe how good it will grow its fantastic for it
Fixed nitrogen is the very base of the food chain.
Good choice of new parts, Tim.
Check the Glowplugs with your meter if it's doable.
👍
I'm going to replace the glow plugs too, once they arrive.
Nice 👍🏻
I was surprised how posh that stick on brickwork looked 😌🧱🧱🧱🧱
I counted the reflective strips on your jacket to make sure you're wearing the correct PPE for starting the mansion 🙃 good to see the motorhome coming along Tim 👍
Jeopardy's on at six o'clock.

Yep. You get it, Sam.
Excellent video Mr T, it's a good job you covered up your new private number plate. SWS 11 , I see what you did there. Oops, you can edit that part out!
Add a new fan belt to your tally of parts for a complete setup 👍What's the solenoid for? Mansion coming on well 👍
Yes a fan belt definitely. The solenoid is a heavy duty relay that sends a high current (800 amps) directly from the battery to the starter motor rather than through the key switch in the steering column.
@@SocksWithSandals Sorry Tim if my question was a little ambiguous. What I should have said was, why have you bought a solenoid when the pre engaged starter already has one 🤔
Great Mel and Kim number there! You should have been Rick Astley or something!
I was something, still am.
This is so interesting, yet more steady progress!

Yes, I can use the shower at work, Nigel.
Love the Pre Halloween, Hammer Horror Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee intro Tim.
The price of fame, your such a likeable guy that people feel they know you.
Were they only males that stalked you and not
females ? That seems a bit Gay ? Haha
There's a lot to be said for faceless channels.
I wouldn't want to be famous as I have a face for radio lol
I must be up to a dozen weirdo stalkers that I know about now. It's roughly a 50/50 male / female split. Sad excuses for humanity every one of them.
Any funny outakes were things go wrong would be good.
You never know when I'm going to cock up a job. I just film what happens and show it.
Maybe the bricks will keep the pr¿cks away 😀
TH-cam's very own Huge Hefner.......!! Staring Socks with Sandals as Hefner!?
I wonder if you will ever come up with a comment that is relevant to the story, rather than some glib quip about physical appearance.
