Your van build vids are awesome. We're getting a lot of great ideas from you. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
I like your videos Rich. Learning a lot when do mine in the future.
Thanks man, yeah I edit on my phone so it's hard to tell. Working on it for future vids
@@RichBuilt Yeah editing on phone is more challenging. I edit on Final Cut Pro on Mac Desk top. A lot easier, but you're doing a great job. Keep it up.
Good job brother, turned out nice
Is the headliner just stretched and glued to the furring strips? So that between the ceiling supports there is nothing behind it?
I used glue and industrial staples. Nothing between them except insulation.
Dude your ceiling is off the hook
Hi rich, last night you deleted video while I was watching😂 anyways ceiling is turning out awesome.
Sorry about that, the music was way more distracting than usual lol had to redo it but will likely stop putting music in the future.
@@RichBuilt Merry Christmas 🎄
Hello, I really enjoy your videos and build. Just curious, how does that fan cover stay up because that fan area is only plastic except for the 4 screws? Are the magnets that strong they stick to the 4 screws?
hey man, the cover comes with magnets I taped behind the flange of fan shroud and there are magnets on the cover as well.
Hi there, really enjoying your conversation,I want to use your method in my Promaster but I prefer to reside in the Pacific Northwest, Problem with putting wood in the inside roof is extreme condensation, the insulation has to be very moisture resistant, let me know what I recommend for the extreme condensation in the Pacific Northwest 😊
Thanks, I'd say as long as you have moisture-resistant insulation you'll be okay. I used Thinsulate and I've been to Washington twice with no issues with condensation
@@RichBuilt Awesome Rich! really appreciate that👍your videos are some of the best out there ☺️
@@RichBuilt I will use the insulation that you used my friend 👍
Where did you get the headliner material?
Whoops just got to that part in the video, never mind
I just bought an almost identical board and the 2 1/4 inch holes for the LED lights have me really nervous. It leaves you with only a sliver of wood on each side. How has this held up for you in a moving vehicle? Have these boards cracked at these thin parts yet?
Nice, no issues to report since install!
how much all these costs you in a rough estimate? Including the van
Any trouble with plus nuts spinning and did you find a way to avoid that?
Yes, I've had that happen twice. I've had to abandon them. Main thing is not over tightening the bolt more than necessary to secure the item I'm fastening to the wall. Also I try not to remove the bolt if its been tightened.
Rich, what's your interior height now, with floor and new ceiling?
I'll put a tape to it and let you know but it reduced the height by roughly 3 inches.
Why did you choose flat ceiling? I hope you're smaller than 5'10 xD I could never imagine having ceiling 1 inch above my head.
Yeah for aesthetic purposes only. I still have a lot of head room after doing this so it works out.
@@RichBuilt The height is only 2m before insulating etc. I was wrong regarding 1inch, I think I have 2 or 3 inches if I make the ceiling flat :)
@@RichBuilt Problem I have I can't even decide how to build the stuff I want :( rip
Where did you get the 1x3 vertical grain fir? Was it a special order?
They are special order, I received them from a friend in the construction industry
@@RichBuilt Thank you very much for replying with the info!! (Now I have to figure out which wood to use, lol!). You ended up with a nice looking ceiling!
No ceiling insulation?
Hi, I have thinsulate up there as well
A little constructive criticism. The rapid and abrupt transitions every few seconds between your muted voiced and blaring dance music are extremely frustrating. It makes your videos hard to watch without skipping through.
Lol, I see now you already reduced the music and reuploaded. I can't imagine the original version
@@davidwilks4086 haha thanks David, still trying to get the hang of this video editing work flow. Not the easiest thing to learn. I'll likely just do without the music from here on out.
@@RichBuilt I get it! Editing is a PITA, sometimes it takes fresh eyes/ears. Nothing wrong with a little music, but it's better suited to longer segments. Maybe a tripod would be helpful to get longer shots of the work you're doing.
@@RichBuilt I like a little music in the background, as long as the volume gets turned down when you start talking. Its cool.
