i discovered you girls in year 2, so I missed the build. I preface this with I love you, I love how you tease each other and your quirky personalities. Thank God, you got better at this, these are awful, Emily's winning smile and a visit from Joanie were the highlight.
Oh wow! Thats an awful lot of videos you’ve got to get through, I’d skip some of the early ones, I promise the quality gets better as the years go by 😂🤣 Thanks for watching! 😃
Hey troops :) I'm going through your build series again, nearly 3 years after finding your channel.. nostalgia! Just quickly, looking at the floor you did with the small areas of sound deadening, are you happy eurgh the way that amount of material cut down the road noise or in hindsight would you put more down?
Hey Pete, to be completely honest with you. Now we’ve built it and use it all the time we get so many rattles and shakes due to the terrible suspension that I can’t even hear the road noise over that! 😂 so I can’t really say. I think most of our road noise actually comes from the cab end, possibly the doors?
Hi Anna. We used a hardwood laminate, mostly because of our dog and our cat. It's very heavy tho, with hindsight I may have considered altro flooring, very hard wearing and light, just not as nice to look at. And yes, we used underlay, laminate floor specific one.
Thank you 😁 We got the battens in b and q and wickes, I think they had it in both at the time. Its sold as 34mm batten but can vary in thickness a mm or 2 either way.
Thank you. I was looking at some 5M closed cell foam (3mm) for sound deadening as well. I can't seem to find a comparison or some specs as to which one works better - the dodo mat or the 3M closed cell foam. The 3M foam is definitely cheaper.
@@sebxj25vm both will work, I would guess the dodo mat will perform better as it is heavier, I was surprised how heavy it was when it arrived. I work with closed cell foam and I haven't come across one anywhere near as heavy. I don't know how big the difference would be and that is just my guess lol!
Hmm - looking into it a bit closer, it seems that they heavy butyl compound used in the Dodo Dead Mat is good at deadening panels and bodywork vibration - while the closed cell foam is good at absorbing sound coming from outside of the vehicle. I guess either should help one way or the other.
I looked it up, it's an ice cream cone with a thing in the middle. "A 99 Flake is an ice cream cone, usually made with soft serve ice cream, into which a Flake bar has been inserted. The ice cream is usually vanilla flavoured. They are sold by ice cream vans and parlours." Its British.
Lovely Mum.

love seeing Lou mum she looks like she is fun
She is so much fun 😁
Girls, I found one of your newest episodes from Ireland, so now coming back to follow you from the beginning. Hard work, but great fun. Good luck xx

Thanks for watching! 😃
Very good job. One can tell there was a lot of pre planning in this effort.
Its really coming together . Some how I've not been watching in order but oh well I'm still enjoying the vlogs 😊 Emily doing well on the tools. 😊
😂 that’s all that counts 😀
What thickness of plywood did you use for the floor?
Who needs Bob the Builder when you guys are in the house ...
🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌
Taking shape well done 👍
Thank you 😀

Hi, I love these videos! Can you please tell me more about the exact type of King span product you used?
Hi steph, we used 25mm King's pan or celotex on the floor (they're pretty much the same) and 40mm in the ceiling. Hope that helps.
Can I ask why u put a frame down onto the base of the van . So when it comes to my own building a van I might know what to do..
Oh yes, never touch the sewing scissors ❤😊🇦🇺
Coming along well keep it up
Thank you, we're getting there. Nearly at the fun stuff 😀
Need to pull your socks up and get the videos out quicker lol. Really enjoying the progress
Haha, thank you 😀 we're doing our best lol, trying to get one a week out, bloody work keeps getting in the way tho!
Sorry, it's old but I had to see Emily on the tools!
🤣😂 It's always a sight to see lol, this ones pretty entertaining, she gives it a good go 😜

great videos! what flooring did you use and did you use underlay? any information gratefully received!

Hey there, hope you are both doing well and enjoying the van. Can you please tell me where you sourced 33mm batons? Thanks.
Thank you 😁 We got the battens in b and q and wickes, I think they had it in both at the time. Its sold as 34mm batten but can vary in thickness a mm or 2 either way.
Never realised your van was a Citroen Relay L1H1 is it? We have one the same...not 100% sure if yours L1H1 tho
Hi ours is L3H2 👍😀
What were the silver strips directly on the metal floor, at the beginning of the video?
Hi seb, that was some dodo mat sound deadening.
Thank you. I was looking at some 5M closed cell foam (3mm) for sound deadening as well. I can't seem to find a comparison or some specs as to which one works better - the dodo mat or the 3M closed cell foam. The 3M foam is definitely cheaper.

Thank you - that is useful to know. I didn't realise that the dodo mat uses a different material from the closed cell foam

How many sheets of each did you need?
Hi Tony, crikey it was so long ago now I can't remember, so sorry I can't be of more help, but thanks so much for watching.
what is a 299?
I have no idea, this was years ago 😂

What thickness of ply did you put in?
Hi, we used 12mm for the floor.
