Wooo, Alex! Lots of editing and different camera angles today - that had to take hours and hours and hours, all while you aren't feeling well. The countertop looks lovely. You should probably put a few more coats of paint on the counter bases before you screw down the top. I use gloss paint as it is sooo much easier to clean up any spills. Missed seeing the beautiful Lela today. 🩷
I can't imagine how much extra time it eats out of your construction time just with camera angles/focus/sound/light adjustments over & over again. Getting these vlogs out is no easy feat, but you do and they're always entertaining. TY
The cinematography on this video is so good! It’s like you’re a cameraman or something. I’m sure this slowed you down setting up all the shots but it looks so good ! Does it feel like the end is in sight ?
@@Karmela303 I know ! What I meant was that for this series on the van conversion there were lots of different styles of shots. Less of a vlog style. Nothing but appreciation and support !
Maybe you can use some peel and stick tiles around your work area or something like cork board tiles...... looking forward to seeing the final finishes and decor when you get that far :)
Billy has that huge printer, you could get a roll of vinyl and get him to print whatever pattern you need for your wallpaper. My work place does printed vinyl all the time, peel and stick and in as big a width as 52inches and whatever length. Billy's printer can do that or even a local print shop. You would be surprised at how cheap it is.
Doing a great job Alex! I highly suggest you use primer and then paint rather then contact paper or even wall paper. You can use Kilz primer or even a combination type paint. Use calking in seams... honestly it will be better sealing your woods and preventing mold better. You will probably regret using paper. We've touched up our paint every spring to give ours a fresh look. If you add trims on the wood it also gives a finished look while hiding seams and uneven spaces. 1/4 round or 1/2 round...even a flat piece of wood trims.
Love your choice for the counter top. ❤ They also make a vinyl strip you can use to cover the gaps. It's made for around tubs, toilets, and counters. It folds in the middle.
I can imagine the effort it takes to film this video but I absolutely love this series and the progress has been great. I like your choices. Countertop is fantastic 👏🏻
Hey Alex, I think the worktop look beautiful, the wall covering is very nice, your campervan is going to amazing when it's finished. Well done. Love from N.Y.
♥Where was our adorable Leila today? Missed her! Love the counter top. It looks great. Sorry to hear you are sick, Alex. Please take care and hope you feel better soon.♥
Great job there Alex. You are doing a wonderful hob renovating this camper. It will be a home away from home and Lela will be included as well. Have a great day
Oh Alex! You should/could have used the multi tool to cut the cabinets down instead of having to take everything apart. 😢 Turtle is coming along nicely. You'll be on the road in no time! 😊
Love the wall covering. Good size work top! You are so going to enjoy your new home and work spot on wheels. Great job! Alex don’t over do! Waiting for your next video.
Well done, Alex! I am totally impressed with how well you have managed to transform "Turtle" so far. The countertop looks amazing and the wall covering is going to look great too! Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for another very interesting video! Looking forward to the next one. Also, KUDOS to you for taking some time to get some additional rest. I think you will find that in the long run, you will accomplish much more in a shorter period of time by making your overall health a priority. 👍😊
Hope you’re feeling better soon Alex, it’s taking its time to shift, perhaps you shout rest a bit more? You don’t want to wear yourself out xx although I can see why you want to crack on with the van, it’s really coming together now ant it. The worktop looks great and I’m glad you’re tackling that front bit xx👏🏻👏🏻
You’re doing fantastic for a first time DIY van project. Fyi that partition wall might be able to be pushed in a bit towards your counter top toward that door wall it could be a bit warped
Alex, love your camera angles, wonderful. Your vehicle is so clean outside. renovations are coming along nicely too. Butcher counter top is the best, I have one, they are just fabulous. Wallpaper is a nice neutral color. Till next time, enjoy your day.
Hope you get to feeling better soon, missing Layla. Love the work too, so pretty. Almost there!! Can’t wait to see it finished and I bet you can’t wait to be done either. 💕from cold Texas.
Here I have been wondering what color you were doing to paint everything, and of course you level up to wall paper. Looking good and love the counter top.
The worktop looks a great colour and with the linen colour walls, I think it will look really nice. Everything takes time and you are filming as you go which is and added dimension of your time. Ronnie in Saskatchewan
Totally wonderful, now I can visualise what Turtle’s going to look like when finished. You’re working so hard Alex 👏. Just one thing, you keep checking levels but are you sure Turtle’s on a perfectly level drive? 🤭
Speaking from experience, you may regret textured wall covering. It will be harder to keep clean. Something smooth and easy to wipe may be a better option. Get some wooden moulding to finish off the countertop. Silicone won't look as tidy and is susceptible to mould. Just a thought.

Curious, thus far into the renovation, what would you say are the 5 most important tools that have allowed you to achieve success?
@DianaWelch-s5d 😂
That's what molding is for to hid those gaps your doing great just get some molding and stain it ot paint it.
Be sure and tape the cut line so the melamine doesn't chip and splinter
Such a resourceful, focused, and qualified man you are…. Seemingly unfazed by ups & downs….. grounded, and talented!! And get well soon!
👍😜
Both the worktop and the wall covering are excellent choices. It will all look both smart and practical by the time you have finished with it.❤
Counter top looks great
😂
Oooo walnut! Oooo level cabinets. Great looking kitchen. Hope you feel better soon. 😃
😂

The counter top is quite handsome.
Don't worry about it Alex, it's only a van on wheels, it's not the end of the world.
😂
Love the work top,it looks so good,and the wall paper.
😂
Perfect! Billy would be inmpressed 😊❤🇦🇺
That worktop is beautiful, I'd love that in my kitchen
Looking forward to the next one already! The kitchen countertop looks fantastic👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙

The worktop fits so well and looks very professional. Well done Alex.
Good looking counter top.
Slow and steady wins the race........you are #1.
Lol at the door slam
I'm like jesus he slammed that.😊
Ha Ha I think your second name is perfect!! Well done!

Are you kidding? He IS a good Cameraman.
@@ClunkerCars thank you 😂 I’m going for more aesthetically pleasing with the big camera now - not just GoPro 😀
And yes the end is defo in sight!!

Looking good there Alex
Hope you feel better soon. Always enjoy your Vlogs. Missing your sweet Leila. But glad you are keeping her out of the cold and dangerous Job Site 🥰
😂
You make a good waffle. Amazing progress.
Countertop looks great!! Hope you are feeling better soon

The countertop looks great Alex!😄👍🏼🇺🇸
I really like how this project is turning out. Hope you don’t have a leak!
Well done, Alex! The counter top is beautiful! Rest this week and get well!
Thank you cousin Tom! Cannot wait to see your van finished.
I miss seeing Layla today. Stay warm.
The counter top is lovely ❤
Maybe you can use some peel and stick tiles around your work area or something like cork board tiles...... looking forward to seeing the final finishes and decor when you get that far :)
The worktop looks great! I suggest applying the wall covering vertically like wallpaper is applied to walls. I hope you feel better soon.

Well done! Very nice counter top. ❤Very chuffed 🎉.
That shelf looks awesome. Yep, give the wallpaper a trial run. I don't mind the waffling because it lets me listen to your voice:)
What a great Job! can't believe you know so much about every thing you do!
Just like Billy! A good learner, resourceful, dedicated and willing to tackle everything except for mechanica challenges!
Oh Alex! You should/could have used the multi tool to cut the cabinets down instead of having to take everything apart. 😢
Turtle is coming along nicely. You'll be on the road in no time! 😊

We rebuilt a 16' 1965 Santa Fe travel trailer from the ground up. Very rewarding!
Looking great! Well done
Well done! Amazing countertop…
Yeeeeesss, walnut👍 Only thing left to do is bring everything else up to the standard walnut commands😂

💚looks good Alex
Worktop looks great Alex!! I would never have given one of these vans a second look but seeing you transform this one i was looking at one yesterday 😜
😂
DONT DO IT! 😂😂😂
Well done Alex!!!Take care luv.❤
Fantastic looking work top and one more step forward Alex.
Use Formica laminate sheathing for the wall coverings. Far more durable and resistant to staining and moisture.
Silicone and or a quarter round like used on skirting boards😊
Did you look at the new law in France about the Diesel vehicule and the age of it.. and if you will be able to use it in France ?
Alex, the work top looks absolutely beautiful! Your choice of wall covering looks really nice too. I can't wait for your next video! 😊
Get some laminate beading for your work surface
The worktop looks a great colour and with the linen colour walls, I think it will look really nice. Everything takes time and you are filming as you go which is and added dimension of your time. Ronnie in Saskatchewan
The secret to cutting worktops and ply is to use masking tape to stop the splintering, inside looking a lot better.
Great job Alex😊 you will be sleeping, traveling and editing in turtle very soon!!! Hope you feel better soon ❤
Nice worktop!! Its looking good.!!
Well done, Alex! You must be so satified with a complete day of work! Turtle is transforming before our eyes❣️
Looking beautiful good work 😊😊

just a quick tip you should put some clear farnish on the sawn edges
Thanks!
Thank you very much! So kind 😁
