 Good morning from Colorado custom coach works If you're thinking what I'm thinking I'm thinking we're gonna put this plate over this piece of metal this morning. I got Jamie from Our most excellent family road trip. He's actually working here. He's gonna give me a hand. Give me a sis Got the GoPro already going We got a couple dots marked basically we're just gonna kind of drill a couple secure it anchor it in and then Well, you'll see we'll drill from the back and then we got these nice rivets. So thanks, dude for the assist this morning This is definitely a two-man job So I really appreciate it Yeah, so Jamie's been working here I don't know about a month or so and these guys know way more about metal than I do so basically what we did was We're using something called a clinko clinko Temporary rivet awesome So I'm drilling out from the inside if you didn't catch up from the time-lapse and then we're putting these temporary rivets in and now I'm gonna go on the inside and drill up my rivet pattern from the existing screw holes Which are right behind this How to sand down these edges because this time around I'm using a product called panel bond. I guess it's a for bonding panels and So yeah, we've got all our screw holes here. These are For the rivets they go into the bus. I haven't yet done the bottom one. I'll probably do that once it is once it's kind of hanging and secured on there and Yeah, so this thing is almost ready to close that Previous window door thing and I gotta say I'm actually pretty excited for this because it's gonna look nice and clean flat It's smooth unlike the door which had all kinds of bends and warps and you know things like that So very excited for the same And also excited to use an RV window for the first time It's gonna be 36 inches wide by 17. It's gonna come up to about here Something like that and then the top part I might paint white to blend in the rest of the bus and then this whole corner thing We'll kind of disappear All right, here's the update Primer I prime the inside of it. Okay another update. I had this hole and little hole little hole Needed to address that before we put the sheet metal on Also, this is ready for a product called panel bond. So So there I was outside Miles was inside finishing up the tile here I think I can step everywhere. I'm stepping but look at this man. I'm gonna be pooping in style He put up a accent wall made out of glass. So Yeah, the only parts we got left is the top part and then the sides I think we're gonna add another two by two here just to Have a little like I don't know extra room for the door to close Cool great job, dude high five shower seen in the bus so far I think I might have one of the best school showers What do you guys think comment below? I Was playing with the uh, what's your McCall this morning? Uh What is this stuff called anyways, whatever News I gotta go I gotta leave my two months are up. I've been here for two months two months Can you believe that so I just want to say thank you to Chris and JT Everybody who's been here has been amazing to hang out with be around I appreciate all the help and the hospitality and put me up for two months I really appreciate it primer. It's called primer. Anyways today. I am putting on the window thing With some stuff called panel bond Jamie is gonna give me a hand or to cover that thing up in a second I know I want to share with you guys a really cool mod That I figured out we could do on the bus I'm gonna put a lock on the back and it fits right into the hole which You know had that little handle before so All I did was I put Two pieces together this flat plate with some screws you got to cut the screws to length You got to cut this little deal like two and then I put this well technically three if you include, you know that little Nice looking part there on the end. Let me just show you these ones already screwed up This is what happens if you don't cut your screws you will poke through and dent the Keyhole I bought three of these things so far This is what the backside looks like now I Had to reverse this part. So all you do is Take the screw off You flip this thing upside down and then you make sure that the prongs I Think yeah the prongs go forward. You'll see on the back. There's like little deal that You know moves it if it doesn't operate correctly when you put it back together you did it wrong also This plate here the silver plate on the back It also has prongs and they both have to be facing the same direction So just a heads up if you think you ruined it you didn't you just got to put it back together correctly. All right all we got to do Next is see you just line this thing up And again, I cut that a Little bit short you line this thing up and then boom you got yourself a locking door mechanism Which you can open from the inside and It's key from the outside. So I don't plan on opening this from the inside So I will be just using the key for it because I'm such a nice guy I'm gonna show you guys how to do this you take this thing off, right? Okay, so these are the prongs that I'm talking about these two things have to be On the side of the lock mechanism right here, and this is how you take this thing out You just pull right and it comes from the store. I got those these at lows You have to go in the gate hardware section. All right, and see that's where that's where the prongs can get messed up All right, so make sure they those little I'm gonna just take this out to you make sure these tabs Are towards the lock. Okay, and then all you do is you press on the spring This might be a little bit hard one-handed you press on these Spring All right, hang on. Let me take a commercial break The spring goes back in there Now those prongs are down now if you move this without if this goes up It's not gonna work if it goes up like that. It's not gonna work if it goes up like that It's not gonna work. They got to be down now if you don't The reason for the plate is to keep this from jumping up watch what happens I'm gonna press this thing, and then the tabs will see that's the wrong position right there You're not gonna get any action so You got to keep that like so press down Match the tabs up on this one put it back All right, and then screw it back into place You get the idea this took me Several days to figure out I actually thought I bought the wrong Thing there, so it's a little on the tight side. So anyways Yeah, oh actually see that's how you know, it's messed up. It's at the wrong It's at the wrong spot. So anyways, I'll fix this before I take it back all right next step whatever you Drilling some holes you snap the ones they come with and then you use slightly larger ones Which are a little bit stronger though heads up I Almost really screwed up because look at how deep these things go they actually go through the other side So I'm gonna have to go get alternative screws and Yeah, that was a close call. So I would say You don't really need super long ones. You just need to go through the metal right there So maybe three-quarter inch would be fine All right, this is the The final look of this thing it works really well I'm not saying it's the best thing, but it is a thing it'll work. I did go ahead and use metal screws different than the ones that they gave me and No bumps no protrusions. They took the other ones back even though I totally messed up with those other screw things But anyways, that's just how life works sometimes to take this out. Well should remove this first and then what you can do Seeing it just auto closes and auto locks and you just open it and it opens but You just you know turn it and it opens, but it would be nice to have a little handle or something Just so you don't put too much pressure on the lock mechanism itself, but this isn't going anywhere. So Yeah, so that worked out well. Also looks like today. I'm gonna be packing up I'm gonna head over Reed's place do whatever we can do over there and Say goodbye to the guys at some point probably today. This is what's left of me Inside Colorado custom coach works I Packed up Wasn't all that exciting took about 24 hours. It was rather exhausting. I Got all my belongings. I had a couple things on these shelves. This is my storage This is where I ended up For the last spot. I think I got all my tools. I swept up. I put kitty litter over a little vegetable oil I Don't think I'm missing anything. I left some scrap wood for For these guys here including some of the cedar panels On the roof hickory One by fours, you know things like that couple two by fours. You never know when it can come in handy, you know So, yeah, I am heading over to Reed's After today the guys needed space in the shop. I'm very grateful for being hosted here for the past two months. So Yeah, so if you guys want to DIY something or if you want to contract out, you know who to call Right here in Denver so all that I'm gonna do for the rest of Today is oh There's my measuring tape. It's on the roof thought I lost it The only things left I got to put on the solar panels I got to put on screw on the deck Miles is gonna come back and help me with the deck and then If you guys remember we reinstalled windows, but we didn't have this metal piece here. So Now I do and I'm gonna try and get a nice clean one of these guys and Use it on Spot where it needs that little, you know piece of channel stuff. So I'm gonna bring this piece of wood that Eric gave us left us and That will conclude this part. God. It seems like a never-ending bus project doesn't it? I know you do feel free to agree with me in the comments But yeah, I don't think I'm gonna get the sink done Before Jamie's van built party, but it will be out there. Steve will be out there Eric will be out there mojo bus badge and I was hoping to paint The bus I don't even have a name for the bus. Does anybody have any recommendations on the name? So yeah, but let's open a pink, but we didn't yet and so yeah Onward to other places
