 seat. So, fix us up last night after we ended the day. Gonna work on that a little bit more. I'm actually gonna redo this thing. I'm gonna bring it down about an inch or so. That way we can hide the piece that's gonna go up nice and flush against the top part there. As you can see Eric is working away here. Gotta run a couple of wires waiting for a delivery from Amazon. Good morning from Colorado Custom Coachworks. Let's check in with Eric and see what's going on in here. What is going on Mr. Eric? Well, making quick work over here. I have to excuse the air compressor. There's nothing I can do about it. We are in a shop. I cleaned up the remaining four pieces of redwood. Sanded these things down to with a 220. Blew them off of the air hose. Now it's time to put some waterproofing treatment on these things and get them up on the roof with the rest of their family members. On the last bus I secured the latch with I don't know a surfboard leash actually. The velcro part. On this bus I just took off sauzade off the back handle and I know going through your head, Jacks how are you gonna close this thing now? Well I'm gonna put a dead bolt in here on the other side of this nice thick steel and that'll keep it closed and I'll have a key on the outside. Alright so I've been treating the deck boards and man this redwood was a little on the thirsty side. It's just drinking up all the sealant here. This is before this is after and that's nice and smooth right now. No sooner did I just stop recording than the post office person came and I am definitely I prefer made in the USA tools for obvious reasons or better but I can't buy made in the USA bits when they're like 80 bucks each so this whole kit was like 24 bucks comes with a punch so I'm gonna get cracking on the solar powered charging station. I think I showed you guys before it's just a USB thing so the cigarette lighter size so it's gonna be like one two three one two three one ten maybe in the back here I'll have a shore power. Apparently it's supposed to be on the driver side but it'll just be I'd rather run a wire down on the outside than cross the back of the bus and go through the water supply side and you know electrical and water it'll mix. By the way if you guys didn't know or if you haven't seen a previous video where I kind of explained where I am and what they specialize in roof raises. These guys are pretty much I don't want to say the originators but they have the highest OEM quality fabricating going on in the roof raise game. It's pretty cool so if you guys get a chance to check out any background of my videos what's going on with some of these things you kind of understand the progress but they're just wrapping this one up and yeah I don't know if you're curious you can check out their Instagram Colorado custom coachworks. On another note look at how amazing this redwood is I just put the final touches on the last four pieces that are going up onto the deck. The videos are a little behind in time I think everybody knows that by now and I remember someone was saying you know what's a big deal about decks well you get to hang out up there. Mine is going to be a multi-use deck along with the you know it's being able to hang out up there there's speakers up there lights there is going to be something else special about this deck that I haven't revealed yet so yeah I don't know they're kind of cool what do you guys think about decks comment below. Alright continuing on this is a couple days later I'm actually enjoying not having to deal with the stress of making a video every single day I feel like I can relax a little bit speaking of relaxing Eric is out with his lovely wife at a hot springs kind of decompressing has been working every day like he has been here in a little while so just want to share with you what we got yesterday this is called bark pocket hickory. Hickory is a hardwood and is also a very affordable hardwood I'm thinking about staining it dark I was playing with three stains yesterday here is the floor I previously selected no I'm not married to this floor and it does seem a little dark however it does seem to match with the gray but I think the gray is the least favorite stain of mine I think I like this what is it a dark walnut look better which is the bottom part that's a natural walnut and that is well I forget again dark walnut natural walnut and then the gray look I just feel like with these boards the black may completely overpower some of these beautiful I think these are called bark pockets hence the name but I feel like it just completely overpowers those those parts in the wood whereas this kind of fills in that the grit pretty well and this one doesn't doesn't make a pop as much but I like this dark you know yet brown slightly browning of the color and also how the the grain marks pop as always I'm open to your opinion so if you have an opinion comment below on the different colors of the stains just FYI this will be a couple weeks or so back in time that's just the way things are running and today I'm just kind of trying to figure out what the heck to do next all right figured out what I'm going to do for the rest of this video I need to cut out some holes there I think I've mentioned that several times before with these which I also have shown you several times so I need to cut out three individual holes the backside of this if you can see that attaches in between the sheet metal and the plugs it has to be very precise now before I do that I'm going to finish up the redwood table that Mike made these uh pocket screws are I kind of like them because they're decorative but I'm going to sink these sand it because it's a little dirty then I'm going to give it a nice uh treatment with that uh water repelling uh sealant all right here is a little update while uh Eric's been gone I put another coat of sealant on this I should say almost a primary coat because it wasn't really sealed the first time around it was just kind of wiped on with a rag I mounted a couple of these bad boys just temporarily those are going to be the same holes but I'm going to put bolts in here in fender washers large flat washers I have uh begun to uh bore out three holes for the solar power charging station now these things are pretty hard to find the center uh of the hole here I'm not really sure I don't get to the best job trying to find the center here but uh this is what I got so far I feel like I should have more lines going across so yeah that's what we're working with right now all right here's a little mock-up so it's just kind of loosely fitting in there right now but as you can see it goes on the side there we got three more to go there table will hide that when it's in the uh folding position and then this will be the solar power charging station so that was uh I forget if I revealed that or not it probably did it wasn't like top secret not like that thing but um yeah this is what I was thinking just kind of a way like if I pull up someplace especially if I pull up into the tiny house festival people can charge their phones you know everybody wants to charge their phones at some point just not sure if I'm gonna put a regular household outlet over here or not I don't really need it and it kind of sticks out a little bit too much all right guys you saw me use a certain brand of water heater and my last bus and then I know people bought it as a result of me and I gotta say it wasn't the highest quality one I don't think this is necessarily the highest quality one but it's a lot better this is not sponsored or anything but I just wanted to share with you guys what I got this time around I got one with a copper exchange apparently copper is the best it is also tankless and ventless and it actually somewhat has a a cold water drain on here which is a great feature it also being tankless or I should say being ventless it has a sensor which will automatically turn it off if the carbon monoxide gets too high I didn't want to cut a hole in the bus and also this thing is only used for a few seconds at a time but I could say compared to the other one the buttons are a bit more firm we've got some German technology here I think everybody can unanimously agree that German engineering is some of the best in the world like I said this beautiful copper exchange it's a little bit more because of the parts and and things like that but I have confidence that this will be a lot better a lot safer and some of those other camp lux ones I actually bought it knowing that it can catch on fire so I the matic movement bought one it was the same one I've seen other people buy them because me and so I just want to want to share this with you spread the word it's only $50 more and this one is supposed to be one of the best ones out there so this is what I'll be using now for the exact model of that one please check out my amazon store link is in the description I'll try and populate it as I go I am obviously a little busy and preoccupied here but I'm going to try and list all the stuff that I have so if you guys have any questions feel for you to check it out buy the stuff I recommend and anything I don't like I won't put on there pretty much so yeah so I am in the waiting for the paint to dry phase I added some foam into where I cut out the holes the first one I use the the cutting tool cutting wheel didn't come out so clean the second one I use two hole saws and then kind of connected the dots so that one came out like almost like a dog bone shape I'm thinking about putting a 30 amp service actually under the water that first thought I thought common sense bad idea but the more I think about it having all the hookups on the traditional hookup side of things really in the front is the only well I should say the front part of the bed area is really the only part to put it back here I suppose I could but then I have to run the wire up and then over to the electrical area not a huge deal so I actually might do that but I think I'm going to have the water tank all the way back here and have space on the front so in that case it might be better up there see it I just convinced myself so I think I think that pretty much wraps up these little jobs trying to organize them better not have them so fragmented so for those people who are looking for videos like this and it's a little bit easier to watch it's not like here's what I'm having for lunch and now I'm off to Home Depot for the actually I don't go to Home Depot you know I'm off to Lowe's for the hundredth time kind of thing so let me know what you guys think about that I think I might do this a similar thing when I'm on the road instead of just everyday diary kind of thing just kind of focus more on places people activities events things like that I kind of learned that daily isn't for me so maybe every other day that's been going well and creates a nice balance and I'm not so crazy I want to get my website going maybe think of other ways where I can make money on the road or create something a book you know something like that so anyways thank you so much for watching and I'm very much looking forward to getting on the road so hopefully 10 more videos and then I'll be on the road
