@@lifeadventureprojects just finished watching, once again another real video, The wife and I are slowly getting there with our van conversion, just so time consuming 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for the reply Lee
I would sort the rust spots under the sliding door rail. Before you start to make the Cubert inside .Nice to see you doing your self .Good luck with it .I'm just starting my sprinter project. Happydays
yeah I was thinking the same thing, also some mould growing on there too so needs sorting out! Annoyingly there are a few dings on the body work which will also need fixing. Thanks for watching Mick !
Wagnerrr thank you so much for the coffee 💛💛💛💛💛 you’re the first person to buy us one on this journey and you will be thanked publicly in the next video - we truly, truly appreciate it. So glad we can bring some light entertainment ☺️💛 thank you!
Hey guys, happy 20 th birthday Andy, 🎉🎉 another cracking video guys, loads of progress gained, looking forward to next weeks vid, have a great week 🎉🎉🎉
Brilliant team work loved Sophie shouting the ladder the ladder 🤣 brilliant good fun you too make my dark days a little lighter thank you both as always looking forward to your next video 👍👍👍
Hi guys, I'm CornishLeeroys wife Lisa. I just want to say how much we enjoy your videos. You make us laugh so much. And you are the most real couple on TH-cam. Thanks for making them enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻 x
Hi Lisa, oh wow thank you so much for this, honestly it makes us so happy to get such kind words from you both 😭 it blows our minds that people enjoy watching us and figuring stuff out 😂 We really appreciate it and thank you for taking the time to comment 💛💛💛
@Life Adventure Projects It's just so nice to see that we aren't the only ones that make mistakes when doing a van conversion. It can be so frustrating sometimes. Lee and I just want it finished, so we can get off exploring. Thank you for taking the time to reply, it's so nice to know that comments are being read and replied too. Take Care. Keep up with the Starbucks drinking 🤣 although Lee and I are Greggs fans 🤣 Look forward to your next one. Lisa x
Great progress folks! Nice to see things starting to come together. Lovely to get the vinyl down but also a pain as you have to be more careful now but it's a good step forward. Looking forward to seeing more progress soon xx
Thank you dad 😊 yes I know, we now have ‘van slippers’ that must be worn inside the van! Haha, at least now we can start screwing things down to the floor! Xx
haha thanks Gordon, I have been telling Soph to throw that furry jacket away! 🤣 Thanks for watching mate and really appreciate the kind gesture - I will ensure it gets put towards something new! 🙏🙏
You're real TH-camrs now you have a power bank, Sophie you've made an amazing job on the carpeting, happy birthday Andy, from Mel's #1 fan in Medway 🤣🤣🤣
I'm loving the intro and it features your beautiful cats , nice 😍 The vinyl flooring looks great and so spacious 👍 You both are doing a wonderful job , it is all coming together nicely.
Hey Hope, great to hear from you! Yeah it feels very warm in the van now, we are certainly at the exciting stage now! :) Glad you like the intro!! Hope you are keeping well!
Another cracking video guys, well done! I'm really enjoying seeing how you're getting along with the build. One word of warning though (and you may already be aware of this), those cables coming from the solar panels will be live (assuming they're connected to the panels, can't quite tell), so keep an eye on them 👍.
Oh nooo! I saw this on your Instagram a couple of weeks ago, didn’t realise it was still ongoing! Do they know what’s wrong yet? We’ll keep our fingers crossed for a speedy return! Thanks for watching 😊💛
@@lifeadventureprojects yeah, we posted a video on it last week explaining a little. It’s a long old process. But, we’ll be buzzing to get cracking again (eventually) 🤣
Solar panels are 525w (175 x3), battery will be 320ah plus will have a 2000w inverter. Still a lot to do but got most of what I need ! Thanks for watching and the positive vibes! 👏
Only planning to travel, not live, although we do want some land at some point and may live in it for a bit if we do that. Certainly don't want to be living in campsites so long travels on the agenda!
Now your cooking working like a man cementing 😂 [or women I hasten to add ] take time over the size of your shower toilet area make sure it’s big enough. Brilliant idea tracing the floor batons, I love stuff like that ,it’s looking really good well done both good luck 👍🏴
hahaha thanks Micky!! Solid advice, we do have a design around the shower space size but we now need to measure the toilet we want and make sure it fits. Thanks for the positive vibes!!
that is a good question, we will certainly be doing the UK and most likely South West somewhere to begin with! Although Wales is very much on the radar too! Any recommendations?
Cheers mate. I have not connected the positive and negative on top of the van yet so the wires in the van are not live. However, good point, still gonna tape the ones on the roof just in case - literally running out there now lol
It’s quite horrible isn’t it! I found that exactly, just gets stuck everywhere. But got it done eventually and should do the trick! Thanks for tuning in John, we really appreciate it 😊
@@lifeadventureprojects I have a lwb vivaro, I like to watch videos like yours as you show the good and the bad days, I've spent the last 4 days carpeting, it does look easier on TH-cam 🙄.
@@lifeadventureprojects I was going to say about the hammer too sorry , also 1 for screw 2 for drilling, 1 gives you better control and more torque when putting in screws . Sorry sorry sorry I feel like a total DIY nerd now and will have to buy you a coffee as soon as I figure how to do that . I promise not to tell you how to drink it 😂😂
hmm, yes maybe... although I did test and it felt fine to me, I even had a little stretch room. If, longer term, it is a problem then I will reinvest in maybe one flare. I traded them for something I was planning to buy so not lost anything so if I do then no drama! Will keep you posted on if it is an issue... fingers crossed all will be fine!
Not gonna lie, I haven't watched yet but I'm going to when my tea is ready 🤟 love Wednesday's when you upload a video 👍
Ahh Leeroy, we do love your comments! :) Hope you enjoy it. Moving forward hopefully some of the bigger stuff will start to happen now!
@@lifeadventureprojects just finished watching, once again another real video, The wife and I are slowly getting there with our van conversion, just so time consuming 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for the reply
Lee
Soooo time consuming! It is even worse when you think something will take a couple hours and ends up taking a whole weekend, or maybe even 2 weekends!
You have a great taste in music! Trance fam!🎉🙌🏼
yeah you bet, love a bit of 90s / 00s trance!

Hi guys great documenting . Think your drill was on hammer 🔨 😉

It's coming on really well 👍
Cheers Wilf, certainly taking shape now! exciting
Love your video’s and it’s all starting to take shape 👍 well done 😍

@@lifeadventureprojects Important turning point. Well done xx
You really found a groove now in how you are documenting your work. Well done on this and all the best for your build! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!! We are learning, slowly, but learning none the less. :) Really appreciate you watching. 💝
To help Sophie buy more furry hood jackets 🤗😉 lol great work guys and love the van 👍
haha thanks Gordon, I have been telling Soph to throw that furry jacket away! 🤣 Thanks for watching mate and really appreciate the kind gesture - I will ensure it gets put towards something new! 🙏🙏
You're real TH-camrs now you have a power bank, Sophie you've made an amazing job on the carpeting, happy birthday Andy, from Mel's #1 fan in Medway 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 Thanks Neil, had a great birthday in Bristol! Soph also passing on thanks for the compliment!! Thanks for watching! You got a van?
@@lifeadventureprojects I'm a caravan man, we've got a small 2 berth with end bathroom
Looking really good now 👍 don't forget to glue the wall and the carpet, for a good strong bond contact adhesive needs to bond both surfaces together.
Cheers Ian, yeah we did do that although won't lie, sometimes you forget and have to go back and redo it haha!
Well done you two , it's taking shape very nicely
Thanks John 🙌🙌👏
Good job x
thanks Lynne!! x
I'm loving the intro and it features your beautiful cats , nice 😍
The vinyl flooring looks great and so spacious 👍

@@lifeadventureprojects I'm well thank you for asking 😊 I can't wait for next video 😀
Coffee bought.
Hey Wagner, Andy here, I just wanted to say thanks so much for the coffee. We shall be putting that to purpose this weekend when doing the van!
Another cracking video guys, well done! I'm really enjoying seeing how you're getting along with the build. One word of warning though (and you may already be aware of this), those cables coming from the solar panels will be live (assuming they're connected to the panels, can't quite tell), so keep an eye on them 👍.
thanks bud, yeah not connected on the roof so nothing live inside the van - however I think I will seal the ones on the roof just incase!
Love the holes in your socks lol
Andy here, it must be my socks because I think they all have holes in them 😂😂
It’s looking mint guys! Smashing it!! We can’t wait to get our van back cause right now we have van envy 😂
Oh nooo! I saw this on your Instagram a couple of weeks ago, didn’t realise it was still ongoing! Do they know what’s wrong yet? We’ll keep our fingers crossed for a speedy return! Thanks for watching 😊💛
@@lifeadventureprojects yeah, we posted a video on it last week explaining a little. It’s a long old process. But, we’ll be buzzing to get cracking again (eventually) 🤣
Just had a watch. Doing a sterling job, also very funny bloopers, you two crack us up! haha
Great job guys 👍
Thanks Darren! Appreciate it 😊🙌🏻
Happy 50th... or something like that :)
Lol itza comming…
A big yellow van surely should have named it Budgie 😂
😂😂 - actually quite like that name!
@Life Adventure Projects A renaming ceremony worth a video itself !!😊 The Continuing Adventures of.....Budgie😂
😂😂
@@lifeadventureprojects how about big bird 😂😂😂
Good job guys! What about the electric system? What's the capacity of the solar panels & batteries?
Solar panels are 525w (175 x3), battery will be 320ah plus will have a 2000w inverter. Still a lot to do but got most of what I need ! Thanks for watching and the positive vibes! 👏
Coming along nicely!!!! Have you done this before 🤔🤣😂👍
haha - I wish we had, may have finished it by now! lol The van does need a good ole wash though! 😂
@@lifeadventureprojects are you going to live in it or just use it for travelling???
Only planning to travel, not live, although we do want some land at some point and may live in it for a bit if we do that. Certainly don't want to be living in campsites so long travels on the agenda!
Cover those panels when wiring them up as you have LIVE DC at the cable ends
Now your cooking working like a man cementing 😂 [or women I hasten to add ] take time over the size of your shower toilet area make sure it’s big enough. Brilliant idea tracing the floor batons, I love stuff like that ,it’s looking really good well done both good luck 👍🏴
hahaha thanks Micky!! Solid advice, we do have a design around the shower space size but we now need to measure the toilet we want and make sure it fits. Thanks for the positive vibes!!
Hello you two. Loving the series.. the van is starting to take shape. Any idea where your first port of call is once the van is finished?
that is a good question, we will certainly be doing the UK and most likely South West somewhere to begin with! Although Wales is very much on the radar too! Any recommendations?
Alot of people do the NC 500.. looks fantastic.
Great videos guys, can I ask what carpet you are using for the sides? Thanks both. ☺
Hey Gavin, thanks 😊 Yes of course - it’s from Amazon and it’s linked in the description! We got the silver version - it’s working well!
Opps you got that the very wrong way round 😏 the thermo liner should be under the foil bubble wrap
🫣
The solar panel cables will be live, you must tape the ends up, because it could cause a fire 🔥
Cheers mate. I have not connected the positive and negative on top of the van yet so the wires in the van are not live. However, good point, still gonna tape the ones on the roof just in case - literally running out there now lol
👍
I didn't enjoy using the dodo matt black insulation either, sticks to everything that you don't want it to..
It’s quite horrible isn’t it! I found that exactly, just gets stuck everywhere. But got it done eventually and should do the trick! Thanks for tuning in John, we really appreciate it 😊
@@lifeadventureprojects I have a lwb vivaro, I like to watch videos like yours as you show the good and the bad days, I've spent the last 4 days carpeting, it does look easier on TH-cam 🙄.
Looks so much easier, in fact everything looks easier on TH-cam. In fact we sometimes watch our own videos and it looks easier there too! 😂😂
Great to see Bono giving you a hand there 😜
😂😂😂 literally just laughed out loud!
Was that drill on hammer by any chance? Sounded like it
I am amazed how many people recognise a drill on hammer! You are absolutely correct.
Hi when your drill makes that noise 12:30 you have it set to hammer
Sophie’s brother said the same, I really do need to change that setting! 😂😂 Thanks bud.
@@lifeadventureprojects I was going to say about the hammer too sorry , also 1 for screw 2 for drilling, 1 gives you better control and more torque when putting in screws . Sorry sorry sorry I feel like a total DIY nerd now and will have to buy you a coffee as soon as I figure how to do that . I promise not to tell you how to drink it 😂😂
whats this? then stare at it 10mins...man is risking his life 🤣
😂😂
Andy you look taller than Mel's on his channel. And by the time you put your mattress on your bed are you sure you will fit the bed
hmm, yes maybe... although I did test and it felt fine to me, I even had a little stretch room. If, longer term, it is a problem then I will reinvest in maybe one flare. I traded them for something I was planning to buy so not lost anything so if I do then no drama! Will keep you posted on if it is an issue... fingers crossed all will be fine!
What a mess with that dodo mat and carpet.
it looks fabulous :)
Sophie , take the tools off him for gods sake 😉
lol!! probably not a bad idea that!
Don’t bother recommending the river 2 . I had to send mine back, got a full refund.
ah man, how come? I really like it so far.. been using it for all sorts!
@@lifeadventureprojects yes, mine was great for two months, then he wouldn’t charge anymore, but I do get a full refund👍
I am not keen on the music. Sounds like the start up music to Man down.
