 going to drill a hole I think right here right there so that means I need to raise this up up up so then there's a proper size to get in there so this is what the bed frame looks like when it is disassembled alright I seem to have ran into an impasse I forgot that when Hotel Prius and I installed these we did this I think it's called the Craig system where it's screwed into this top two by four here and here so the only other option the only other option I guess is to cut this area out and additionally cut out the area in this bed platform and then have an inlet right here which then goes down to here if anyone is following me or if that makes sense to anyone that's what I'm thinking then I wouldn't have to raise the bed I wouldn't have to take this thing out and raise it up you see how it's kind of low and it only provides like an inch or two inches inch and a half maybe of protection for sliding for this for this mattress so I'm thinking maybe go ahead and do get more two by fours for support back here so it doesn't bow out so much or maybe two by eights because what I what I could do is I could take this two by four slide it over here and then have a two by eight in the middle and provide some extra rigidity actually this is pretty rigid if I slid this one over and then I had one two by eight in the middle I think that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna cut out this and do as planned tomorrow when that thing arrives at Amazon then I can rent a jigsaw cut this thing out cut this wall out through the bus and they can have yeah it's all the water thing so here is a little switch that I made last night I did like six trips to the hardware store I knew I was gonna I knew it was gonna be a long day and there was gonna be multiple trips so I didn't want to have a broken record video Lowe's greatest hits so I just did I was just working yesterday so anyways that's a plan I'm gonna go and I'm gonna buy one two by eight petasize then I'll drill it in all right I am back from Lowe's look the difference with the flex two by four two by ten all right two by four two by ten see this is nice and secure this is not so I'm gonna rearrange some things here I'm gonna drill this one in permanently over here on the edge so I have some stability towards the edge of the bed and then I'm gonna temporarily put the other two over here so I can work around that tomorrow cuz I think I want to put the inlet like right here just so it has a nice easy shot right to that spot see that you understand so there will be a little bit of flex but you got two basically a two by eight instead of two by four and this is totally solid this is gonna be super solid so it's gonna be a lot better than before cuz I actually noticed when I would sleep on that edge it would kind of sink down a little bit so and if it bothers me I suppose I could install a little piece of board or maybe flip this flip this over since it's been you know on the other side for so long anyways it's gonna be a lot better regardless okay here we go half reinstalled really easy really really easy guys as you can see the saying is super flimsy but once the mattress is on the weight will be distributed and even this is so much better so much better so I knew there's a reason I didn't like to sleep when the edge because it was I would sink especially with two people on there so anyways that's it for today for this particular project because I gotta wait for that thing to arrive overnight shipping from Amazon then I can put the rest of this actually maybe I'll maybe I'll bore this pull out and get it ready and these need to be cut to size as well but I don't exactly know what size so maybe I will wait for tomorrow should be pretty simple of course I do have a few of the things to do as well one being fixing this wood right here so maybe I'll take a crack at that I'm not really sure what to do all right well that concludes today still got work to do tomorrow just kind of getting back in the swing of things after my little surgery so I appreciate all of those people out there who have understood and you know a patient with my uploads was a bit longer recovery time than I expected and as I've said before I really don't want to make boring content it's not my my goal not my ambition in life if you will and yeah so looking forward to hitting the road soon if I can get the shower fully installed or at least fully plumbed tomorrow that would be that would be a major accomplishment that would be great especially since this is the first time installing a shower I feel like the majority of the time that I spent on this build unfortunately has been a learning experience I'm not a carpenter not a handyman not a plumber not a tradesman if you will just a guy with a camera talking to his right hand all day just trying to learn and so I have definitely learned a lot and it's been quite an amazing experience so far I mean the build part of it has been an amazing experience the travel part of it has been an equally amazing experience I met so many amazing people the van life hashtag van life or bus life has been in the probably the most incredible experience meeting other like-minded people other travelers other you know frugal digital nomads other youtubers and stuff like that and it's you know I came to this conclusion of downsizing as a result of an internal frustration of me wanting a certain lifestyle which was unattainable with my current situation current situation was rent apartment you know things that go into an apartment having a job and responsibilities and once I was able to save up money and kind of like just take off and just hope for the best it's been incredible and hopefully this continues hopefully I can hit my target number of like you know 50 to 100,000 subscribers under be amazing 50 would be great but somewhere in there I think from ad revenue which I'm gonna have to turn ads on somewhere with the ad revenue would give me enough money to survive on a shoestring budget and that is the goal right now and then obviously to build upon that but yeah it's been been awesome even the downtime has been great to reflect on my videos I was just sending Dylan Magister some some old videos and I was watching like the really early ones and I was like you totally sucked but I watch my videos now and I'm like these are like watchable and I still have a long ways to go you know I'm still I'm still 11 months old for YouTube and I really want to improve I really believe that I can create captivating and interesting content for you content that is not on TV content that is impossible to make with a production crew or production company this is intimate it's just me and you look there's no one else in here it's just us with me and my thoughts and that is the priceless part of the video that can't be replicated the producer can't tell me to say things and for it to come out natural like it is now I feel like that's why TV is declining there is too many reality shows and they're just complete and utter BS the place I used to work at the bar is now a reality show thank God I'm not there they hire a bunch of actors to pretend to be employees and then after the fact I heard they were hired and just it's crap not them not the not that place not that my old co-workers they're not crap but the whole formula is crap Kardashians crap it's all fake it is all fake trust me I went to school with someone who was on the hills and it was just I mean you can't tell you don't know what's rallying what's not I mean it's just it's fake producers tell you what to say so anyways this is a real deal this is me this is you this is my bus this is my life I have a dwindling bank account I'm hoping to make it to the end of the year hope I then have a monthly income what else I mean this is it what you see what you see is my life right here I have you know trash bag right there choose right there dirty bed sheets right there a bunch of pillows up there bus still with the ignition switch issue right there half completed shower I got a full heart and a empty bank account but I wouldn't change anything for the world and that is the truth that is a real truth that you wouldn't see on a reality TV show
