I don't know how one person can smile for seemingly hours non-stop, but it's easy to see why you are a model, Em. The allure of that smile is captivating... right Aaron? :-) I'd love to convert a trailer like that into a camper...watching with great interest and learning. Thanks, guys...uhh...and gals.

I love families who all get along and have fun together. Ours has always been the same, both my mom's and my dad's sides. I work with folks, they say I don't talk to my brother, or I don't get along with my parents, etc. That is just so foreign to me. I can't imagine not loving your family! Just another reason YOUR channel is so great Emily!

Shown to me by my dad when I was young . Using lipstick on the electrical boxes and pressing the drywall against it saves so much time . The same goes for your window when putting up your new wallboard. But great job on measuring . Excellent job

From a purely asthetic pov, straight, but from a load securement standpoint, you always want to cross your tiedowns. That way the load cannot shift side to side. Was a flatbedder for years.

Hiya dear lady, wonderful video, thank you. Here in the UK, the first contact type construction adhesive was 'No nails' my favorite name for one was, 'Sticks Like Sh*t'! For real the actual name. The best way to put panels on a wall. is put the sh*t on the wall, no grabbing it with fingers in the wrong place, no transfer to panels already on the wall, etc. Stay safe...Steve...

When I was a kid I worked with a old man putting up paneling in a office for a few. He always had me spray paint a line where the seams would be in a color that kind of of matched the paneling just in case the panels shrank or didn't line up exactly. It helped with the little mistake and made it look really nice might work for you

@corydriver7634 3 жыл бұрын

Yes sir, we used to do the same thing. We used black paint because it blended in as a shadow, a white or light colored line would jump out at you.

Get an adapter for one of your impacts for the trailer jack. You already have impacts that you carry with you. It would be a less expensive option than an electric jack system.

I like the way you all think outside the box. The idea of using your partially converted trailer to get an idea if the layout will work at the same time while going on an adventure trip is absolutely great! It’s smart! You all are an inspiration to us all that you can do a lot yourself and if there is a will then there will be a way! Thanks you all! And oh I’m liking your new channel too!

You could have TOTALLY screwed up the seams and had bubbles on the 2nd panel with crap hanging from the glue joint and I would have said... "YOU DID A GREAT JOB BABE!". Are you kidding me? Really... Aaron played that one perfect. BTW... You really did do a GREAT job! P.S. - I'm a mechanical engineer so i couldn't help myself here... instead of the ship ladder, build a shallow set of drawers (10"-15" deep) that you could use for the kitchen, but also incorporates some steps into the front, or pull out like stairs, that you can use to get up into the bed area. I've seen steps like these before used to get access to high shelves in a kitchen area.

Well way back when I was in the Marine Corps we used to criss cross the tie downs when loading on board ships, aircraft and smaller stuff on flat bed trailers. I carried it over into civilian life whenever I used to move heavy equipment too. I guess as long as it's tight, and you check once in a while to be sure, you'll be fine.

Emily go to a cabinet material supplier, ask for to see wax fill sticks. Find one closest to the color of the wall cover. Rub it across the cracks and presto no cracks. And remember acetone will remove everything on a laminate (that is what they call it) glue ,adhesive permanent marker I'll take everything off but the color. But don't use it on paint it will haze paint. 😘

I hate to be the "do it this way guy" (lol) but, I set stainless panels for kitchen hoods frequently and we use FRP glue and trowel it on. It works incredibly well for full sheets like that. It allows you to move it around yet have excellent adhesion. Excellent work. Keep it up!

@gizzmo2875 2 жыл бұрын

I angle my straps slightly outward. If you cross them and one comes loose, the entire load becomes loose. Best bet is to do both, to separate points. Stretches the load in two directions and keeps it more stable yet. Either way, please latch your handles all the way down. When you leave them up like that, you are relying strictly upon the pawl spring to maintain tension. When you latch the handle down, it blocks the pawl from moving altogether. Essentially, a "double lock".

Small tip for the stainless countertop. Simple Green to clean it and some WD-40 on a rag to keep it from smudges. Of course if you plan on doing food prep you might want to skip the WD-40.

@drinternatg6391 3 жыл бұрын

The ladder , you could use normal steps and hinge them at the top so they are stored upright ( and secured by some means like a strap) when not in use. I have been on a few boats that have the main access to the galley area from the deck using steps that are secured to the roof then out of the way.
