Brilliant finish it gives the interior a more contemporary and attractive look. Also I think coaster comparison for size and value sees to be the better buy. However budget size weight and economy maybe the deciding factor for many.
Top job rich looks very smart that's what I love about building your own bus it can evolve and change with a new look whenever you want to change it all the best donny
You're totally right Donny, and can share this sentiment as we've never seen two busses that look exactly the same. They all have their own personality. Hope you are doing well. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
It looks great!! I'm doing the same skinner slats as opposed to the wider and think it makes it look great! I don't want it to look like all the others. Great job!
Great result, sometimes taking a risk pays off. Procrastinating is a sign of genius, one has to be sure the moment is right..but sometimes that can take years 😊
Love this Simon, and have never thought of it like that. What a brilliant way to look at it. Thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment, take care 🚐🚐🚐
I am currently away (3months now) but due back early Nov, I was going to have my roof covered by material and then for the wooden slats but I think I will paint it as you have done as there will not be a great deal on show. Van going to A1 trimmers for seat cushions and trim soon.
Thanks so much! 😊 Ha, glad you liked the music. We found it when editing and it seemed to fit the bill quite well. A bit eccentric like the lapse, and well... us 😂
I procrastinated so much it took me 2 days to get round to posting this reply 🤣 Ceiling looks lush 😎 I love pull saws, i find them Easyer to cut a straight line with 🤔 maybe it's just me but i find them more controllable 🤪 having said that i am a total numpty when it comes to woodworking, hense my build being aluminium and Upvc 🤠 As allways guys a great job 😎
100% agree with that on the pull saw, they are brilliant things to use for the little details and we love ours. It has been so useful. Thanks for your kind words too - hope your build is going well 😊
Haha no one wants a bit of sag! :) Ceiling looks great and we love the slats, the colour really compliments the rest of the bus (said Cat the wife) . It's something we've been thinking about and love the jig. Yes procrastination runs rife here too! :)
Ha. So glad someone called out the sag comment 😂. Also glad procrastination is widespread - maybe it’s a super power. Procrastination man to the rescue, in a few hours. Maybe. Hope you’re getting on alright in your build guys 🚐🚐🚐
Ceiling look's great! I do like a slatted ceiling over the usual cladding or carpet lot's of people do. I spent a lot of time procrastinating during our build, I don't think it's a bad thing as it gives you lots of time to consider what you've done and if there's a better way to finish it 😁
Thank you, we totally agree. Thanks for the thinking on the procrastinating too; love this and you're totally right 😊. Thanks again for your lovely comment. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
Loving the slatted ceiling - beautiful job! I found your vid just as I was * procrastinating * about ply strips v timber for my van ceiling. Loads of useful tips in your vid - thanks! Did you rent your nail gun? Guessing it was air powered?
Thank you - love a bit of procrastinating. We actually bought a cheap air powered one and have used it quite a bit. It's handy for brad nails like this. The one we got was - amzn.to/407YVcI
Thanks so much. I bought this one some time ago amzn.to/3EMRv6u and amazingly it's 50p cheaper than I paid at the time. Would recommend as it's good value and has done the job (and others).
@@fergusmoloney for the ceiling I used a mix of 16mm and 25mm brads. 16mm for the strips and 25mm for the end as I was nailing into a beam at that point. You can get all sorts of lengths depending on what you’re doing.
Love all your bus build, we are building a truck camper and wanting a slatted ceiling using plywood. Did you cut your plywood strips down on a table saw?
Thanks Paul. So on this occasion we actually got the supplier to cut it using their saw as it was very reasonable price wise to do so. If we’d had a table saw we could’ve done it.
It is a known law that every hour spent working requires 3 hours contemplating that work, I use the same Jig method but recycle old wooden Venicican blinds instead of plywood so must also have a weird brain! I guess soon the Van will be finished and you will have to start making Mini videos finally?
@@WanderbusAdventures It is mostly recommission work as it's a 78 with only 14,000 miles and they do not like sitting for 40 years only doing a few hundred a year,once I get the reverse gear working again it will be a lot less challenging 🤐
The ceiling looks really good Rich
Thanks Neil, just to say thanks for your idea last week too. Ended up shortening the pipe on our waste outlet and the pot fits underneath now.
Looking good guys
Thanks Paul, very kind of you to say 🚐🚐🚐
well worth the effort . it looks 1st class
Thank you Dean 🚐🚐🚐

Ah brilliant. Yeah we love the look and it’s faired really well to be honest. Looks great still which is a relief. Hope yours goes well. Thanks again.
Excellent work !!! , keep up the good work !
Thank you. We’ll try 😊

Procrastination is the thief of time. Looks beautiful. 🇬🇧👍
It totally is 😊. Thanks guys
That looked to be a lot of effort, but the results were worth it. It seems to make the inside look longer. Really like it.
Thanks Highwayman, we think you are right. It does seem to make the space look bigger, which is a bonus.
Very nice done, its warm ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊 We agree, it does give a warm feel. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
Looks amazing guys. Cracking job.
Thanks Adam. Take care 😊
Excellent job Rich, keep up the good work 👍.
Thanks Rob. Will do my best 😊

@@robertprecious2614 that sounds amazing. They’ll do a mega job of it. Keep us posted Rob.
Looks great guys! 👍
Cheers Stuart 😊
Another excellent professional job just love it and so unusual?
Thank you. The extra slats aren’t the norm for sure. But we love it. Thanks for your kind words. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
Love that look. Well done 👏
Thanks Samuel. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
To echo Kelly, that looks lush!! I love it 😍😎👍🏻 Great video too, love the music on the timelapse 😂😂😎👍🏻
Thanks so much! 😊 Ha, glad you liked the music. We found it when editing and it seemed to fit the bill quite well. A bit eccentric like the lapse, and well... us 😂

@@Dirt-Diggler you can’t out slow us 😂
@@WanderbusAdventures i would say " watch me "
But it'd be really boring cos i work so slow 🤣🤣
Now at procrastinating, I'm a flipping ninja 🌚
It looks grand good job
Thanks David - we are pleased with how it has come out. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
Looks mint and very professional....
Btw... I once took a dehumidifier in to a sauna to see who won.
All the Best, Mack and Maggie, Huddersfield
LOL - must ask, which won?
The white behind the slats (vs the usual black) looks great!
Thank you. We were nervous going against the trend but really love it as it brightens the space up.
Looks amazing guys
Thanks so much, nice of you to say. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
Looks really nice
Thank you Steve. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
Great idea looks good
Thanks David 😊
Looks great, Yep I procrastinate too!
Thanks mate. You wouldn’t know by the progress you’re making though.
Looks brilliant,and yes i was 5mil out here and there,and yes my neck has never recovered.
This is good to know. At least I’m not the only question mark postured Van person walking about.
@@WanderbusAdventures yeah you are 😂

Hi ya looks great take care cheers from Australia 🤩🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks so much Barry, take care and thanks so much for watching 🚐🚐🚐
Great video, love that ceiling, think I may do something like that in the next build, 😊
Thanks mate. I’ll bring my nail gun 😆
Well done mate, it looks amazing. 👏
Thank you Tim. Take care mate 🚐🚐🚐
Looks great rich. I even procrastinate making a coffee
Hehe, soooo glad to hear it's a common problem. Most jobs involve more looking and thinking we reckon; even making a coffee 😂
You can route multiple slots in a sheet to make it look just like this if you wanted so just one celing sheet used?
Nice job BTW, look cool.
Thanks Paul, we are pleased with it. That would be another way to do it for sure - it could work and would mean less fixings maybe?
It’s a great look and….as expected, another great job 👏
Thanks so much for your kind words Andrew, thanks for watching too. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
Looks amazing 👍🏼 Great job
Thanks Diana. Take care 😊

Looks amazing Rich, are you going to fit any additional lighting, like downlighting?
Thanks very much. We have lighting under the cabinets too, so no more for us. Well at a push we might pop a reading light on the wall end. Maybe.
looks gert lushhhh
Oooh arrrr it does lol 😂
@@WanderbusAdventures I loved how Kelly said it looks lush it reminded me of home lol

Great job as always excellent channel live the videos , btw where and how much did you get your popular ply from?
Thanks Simon. For the ceiling this was about 1.5 sheets of 10mm poplar plywood. It was from a place called Sydnems 😊
It looks much better. Well done Rich. Could you link to the air nailer you used? I need to get one at some stage. Thanks.
Thanks so much. I bought this one some time ago amzn.to/3EMRv6u and amazingly it's 50p cheaper than I paid at the time. Would recommend as it's good value and has done the job (and others).
@@WanderbusAdventures. Thanks Rich. Do you just use 50mm brads with it or does it take different sizes? I’ve never used one 😬
