    It’s funny I sit here watching your channel on TH-cam on my daughter’s tv and I got my phone running your channel so that I can comment and 👍

    Call me crazy, but I love all these old DIY van vids of Chrome's. And seeing sweet Disco Bear (RIH) is just a bonus. 💔🐾💔

    There is a difference between roof and ceiling! I think you mean ceiling insulation! Love your vids. x

    Thanks for putting me onto this Chrome. I now feel confident to finally do my roof insulation even with out a vent.

    I’m sure that before I start Vanlife, I want to watch lots of videos on insulation in vans because I’m in 🇨🇦 and I’m a total wuss 🥶🥵

    Busy is good! Busy gets those bills finished off so you can continue with your weirdness. I love the way the foil ceiling looks!

    I want a DISCO. He’s really got the character . I just love him. He’s just so laid back. Not much if anything bothers him. He adapts much better then most people I know.

  • @johnny1556
    @johnny1556 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Please stay warm and keep showing us how to do so. And that van life is not as bad as they make it seem it's all about having the right attitude by Disco and djchrome.

    • @HulaShack1
      @HulaShack1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Johnny, I think that some people can be miserable in a mansion and others can be happy in a tent. Chrome and Disco are proof that it is our homes are what WE make them. With the right energy, love and enthusiasm for life, even a tent can be a awesome home! It's all about YOU and what you decide to fill your home with!

    Whichever is better quality because heat and cold permeates and leaves you hot or cold. (My opinion) IF you can swing it. 😄 Looks good. Did a great job.

      Ray Picard Right? Everyone says to use the spray. I am also in the Pacific Northwest and make sure it’s a dry, warm(ish) day here before trying to paint or adhere things to my van walls. Congrats on the van!

    💕 Hi Chrome, the ceiling looks amazing! My next plan was to try something like what you used to adhere the panels. My living area in my van is 14 feet from behind the front seats to the back door.

    That foil heat tape is EXCELLENT stuff for projects like this! Wow, CA taxes are nuts. That same roll costs less than $10 in New Hampshire, USA. But we do not have any sort of sales tax.

    We missed you and your videos!! Disco too! Glad you came back! Glad you're blessed to have work! Great job with the insulation...looks Awesome! I'd contribute to your patron but I'm on disability....in a wheelchair...I'm believing that things will get better...so I can! I'm blessed to have a great wife and two awesome grown daughters so I'm great...I love that you are extremely positive...I'm a glass half full type guy too.. A Pastor friend of mine says..sometimes in life ....you have to give up to go up...meaning even if you will give up a big house, expensive cars, large salary and prestige (what your doing) you can change to something that will be much better! Sounds familiar doesn't it! Chrome I'm excited for you that you will get, accomplish and enjoy this new direction even more than you ever dreamed! Praying that needed connections will be happening..Merry Christmas and of course Happy New Year!!

  • @mamalv1
    @mamalv1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    A quick tip to help keep you warm while sleeping. Place 2-3 blankets (from thrift store is fine) Under your mattress... they sell tie-down straps for fitted sheets that should help hold the blankets in place. I've done this for yrs and it really works. Also 2 blankets under your fitted sheet will help greatly.
    Also to help your feet feel warmer...get those square floor pieces (sorry I don't know the name of them) ... the ones that fit together like a puzzle.
    Good Luck and wishing you all the best from a fellow Canadian. Merry Christmas

    • @karinhart489
      @karinhart489 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      V L Wouldn't one of those thin 1/2" insulating pads we used for backpacking back in the 1970s work under the mattress? I'm thinking of a single or twin size bed. I like the idea of using fitted sheets to keep your insulating blankets in place.

  • @thebackroads7074
    @thebackroads7074 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your insulation job looks pretty good, Chrome. I am quite thankful that my son's have offered to help me with my own van build, and that they have done them before...of which I never knew...but sure do, now....lol We weirdos missed you and Disco, too, and am glad to see that you have been doing what you do best.....bringin' the music to the masses..at them parties. My grandsons got a new puppy dog, an early Christmas surprise....a beagle named Todd....lol...and his coloring is quite similar to Disco's. Glad to see you happy and now, a bit warmer....take care and happy holidays.

  • @jcvaldes282
    @jcvaldes282 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Hi... Well, I think the second layer looking inside, is the best you can do because it reflects heat from the inside to the inside... but it could be that the first layer should be looking to the outside towards the metal... most of all for those who travel to hot places, because it reflects the heat right on the metal to the outside... that material has the property of reflecting infrared waves... so the inner layer protects you from losing heat to the outside and the upper part reflects heat to the outside... and the middle materia lets you have several degrees difference on the two sides, internal and external... very, very good idea... let's say it's cool...

    I was hoping to see you put two layers of 1/2 in foam board. One with silver side up, and 2nd layer with silver side down.
    We have the same looking roofs, you and me! I used the same metal tape for all the seams and edges! Good job bro!

      @Feedback4Utoday 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thx. Like the idea of u updating after a few days real word test.. ie objective temp inside/ outside. If a cold snap - may want another layer. or 2.. & push in place panels for all Windows.. & heavy curtain behind Driver/pssgr seats to kind of seal off that area (hi glass/doors/openings)?? Look fwd
