 Six months ago we set out to transform a Mercedes Sprinter into our very own golf tour bus Which you will have seen in some of the recent videos and we thought you might like to see how we transform this Into this. Oh And a word of warning there is no golf featured in this video Hi everyone, welcome to this week's episode. We're currently back at Jackson ledger supplies to pick up some really exciting bits This week's gonna be an exciting one as ever We've got a lot going on and we'll show you what we're picking off in a second So fast forward 24 hours, and I'm back on my way to Jackson's ledger supplies again Because what we bought yesterday it was our hub And it was lovely, but we got it back and it just didn't work in our kitchen at all So I'm taking it back and we're swapping it for another one, which we think Should be perfect, but We'll see when we get it back right today is or will be a really exciting day We're waiting for this for weeks, but it's also a really nervous one because we've got work tops to install kitchen hob to install Sink to install and what that means is we're doing a lot of cutting and we don't really know what we're doing So I was gonna give you a quick blimp at the hub, but we'll keep that to later So it's a case of we've taken over the house again in terms of it's a bit of a mess Hannah, how we getting on? Excited, but We've got YouTube's on as ever for some guidance. We've got a table full of bits and pieces which have no idea What to do with so we're a little bit nervous So I think we'll start off by putting a kettle on and we'll have a bit of a think before we get started And of course just as I get all the tools out work bench out It starts raining. So first of all why are we nervous about cutting work top? It's not a massive big deal, but the work top is a bit different than normal what we've gone for is this stuff, which is Back on peel that back now Let's get a bit closer. So it's like if you can see the thickness of it. It's just 12 mil thick. I Think it's called compact laminate It's probably in terms of weight wise exactly the same as sort of normal You should a regular type of work top, but it's ultra thin. It looks really cool. It's a great finish on it It's like a light gray finish, but this compact laminate it kind of I'm worried that it's gonna chip fairly easy. So whilst cutting it. It's not a big deal To countersink the hob. We've got to drill some holes and that's where we're gonna start I'm worried it suggests that you've got to be careful cracking when you drill holes in the work top So what I'm gonna do is got a little bit of an off-cut Or a sample we got so then we'll start there by drilling a hole and See him a what drill bit we need to go through this kind of stuff and be if it does crack or any Impact that it has before we go into this sort of main Three meter length which is what's taking over the hallway again right now So we're just about to drill into our little It's our sample we have a little sample just to see if this works before that's the That is the kind of fixing Bolt But that's what we've got a thread through here fix it on the other end secure the The hob in place, but this is a bit. I'm worried about I've got a regular steel bit on this by the way That was easy All panic over That's the right size as well So obviously hobble sit on the top and then we've got two brackets that attach this to the hob on the top And then underneath will be a little nut that we tighten so good. Just dead easy There's a lot of panic over nothing That's fine Right we've cut our first piece of work top it it was okay to cut it was just slow It took a long while we had to cut it in terms of the width and The length and in terms of the width so it took took a while This is our hob which we're really pleased with So nice love it like that don't we yeah She is the sink later on today hopefully if it goes to plan and it's going to sit In there the idea is to make use of that kind of dead corner space. That's why we've gone for these three burners So what we've got to do is we've got our obviously counters and cut a hole in that I suppose that's quite self-explanatory And they give you it's a set foot hob by the way Don't drop it on They give you this template Another template another template but it's good though, isn't it? Yeah to be fair So we have to cut that out We'll put that into position And they were the four drill holes that I was referring to which I'm fairly comfortable with now They all drill them first before we do the cutting And then hopefully what I'm all I'm worried about is when we cut around these edges where the drill holes As well as drilled the hole that is in a kind of weakness and it cracks because at that point The whole bloody thing is just yeah all the work that's gone into this so far in terms of the work top will be wasted But that's the next thing I'm going to cut that out with the pair of scissors Lay it in situ where we think it is and then it's time to drill some holes Do you know what there's a point at which I think I don't breathe for the whole length of the cut So when it comes to the longer cut I could pass out No going back It's gone The good news is I haven't collapsed Fainted passed out I didn't like that Out of interest. I went through three jigsaw blades. I'm just using a metal blade I don't know what the proper blade is to cut. I think he's supposed to add a little bit linseed oil just to lubricate it a little bit But I went through three blades and it did take quite some time just to cut that square out Of course you've got one more to go to counter counter sink the sink And the drill bit again was just a steel drill bit. I don't know whether I mentioned that earlier on But we're out We've cut the hole. I'm going to put it back in now and hope to god it fits Me and Penn are leaving my dad to cut the work top and we're going to pick up our sink because we've just had a text to say it's been delivered To work So we're going to go and pick that up bring it back and then hopefully both can get fitted today You can be in there The sink that we've got is the sepford argent bowl in black because we thought it would look nice with our black hob But Jackson's where we've been getting all our other bits from it. They actually didn't have this in stock till I think it was mid-september Uh, sorry about the noise Um, but we managed to find it on eBay. I don't know if anyone else is the same But I get a bit nervous about buying things on eBay Um, but it come with it seems like it's come with all the right bits needed to fit it all the instructions We've got another template, which is great To help us cut out the work top. But yeah, seems seems good. So That's my dad cutting the work top now for the heart. So I'm sure he'll be delighted to know that we have another template to help us fit the sink Okay, the work top's caught and now time to see if the hob fits We have to do this with the camera. Yep Perfect Not yet. No Okay, so take two I'm not convinced this is going to be any better So two are in which is good news. So basically what we've done wrong. Well, what we've done wrong If you remember that sort of threaded bar I measured the drill bit in terms of the size of the threaded bar Whereas this bit that actually sits inside here where the threaded bar screws into was wider Hence it wouldn't fit. We've took it off Redrill the holes with a bigger hole These two are sitting in nice. It's really flush, which is good. But these two just aren't going in. So we'll have to work out why so we've jibbled it around a bit and it somehow managed to Fit in it's just literally getting perfectly square for each of the four to fit in but it is literally Solid each of the four in Oh my word this Fang build supposed to be like an enjoyable thing. It's a stress relief of death, but that is perfect Finally No, it is really good then It's really tight. There's a rubber seal underneath here Um, which when we tighten the the bits underneath together That'll sort of press down and keep it all kind of water tight Right, so with the hob in it's now down to the the sink which the sink template It's again a thetford sink. These two things match in terms of the set And it comes with the same template again slightly more awkward this one And we have a slight issue in that the way the sink is set up There are three holes within the top of the basin You drill through those three holes two at the side one at the back and you drill into your worktop And again, that's an issue. You cannot drill into this screw into this worktop So as I said, I think you can't drill into it. You can do that But by putting a drill a screw rather into the worktop. I think that's where the cracking occurs So we're going to have to find a different way. I think simply it's just going to have to be glued and set Onto the worktop once we've finished then we'll find a way of filling the three holes with the caps that are provided But the template itself even was just there's nothing sort of square. It's all Round so you're it's a little bit more awkward to set in place But I've got it there marked it all up. It's again down to the jigsaw and see if it can if we've got enough blades to get through This this final cut just taking a quick break to get some lunch But I went to London this last weekend and all I had down there was smoked salmon And it's changed me and I'm obsessed with it. So when I went and done my weekly shop yesterday I seen this and I thought I'm gonna have to get it. So for lunch, we're having bagels with smoked salmon in eggs And I don't know how I think I am Honestly From cutting the work tops and we've come back to being Q because we've decided that we want to get a few more bits To put into the kitchen before we actually start fitting the worktop. So we're going to get the doors What shelves we want A few other little bits and pieces and make sure that What we think is going to work Works basically before we start Sticking the work tops down so fixing everything And we also need some jigsaw blades because we burnt out three already Before we do the rest of the cuts, but this wasn't part of the plan. No was it? I don't think no it never is an unplanned trip So we're back from our little trip out and this is our second unboxing of the day Not as exciting as the sink but still pretty exciting And all these little bits I'll show you what else we bought as well I get really excited over the stupid little bits like this dish straining thing We got one that fold down so It's easy to store away But a week ago we didn't even consider how we would Drain any dishes That should be perfect That's cool. Will it fit? Oh look at that. That's perfect I haven't put any doors on yet, but we've got it. Oh, yeah Going out. Oh, I told you perfect Our kitchen setup is starting to come together, isn't it pretty good? So how's that looking? Why am I asking you? I'm asking That's cool that though, isn't it? Yeah our little washing draining area and then we've got a Tap which will go. Hopefully we're going to fit that somewhere in there or possibly But look when I'm filming possibly there. Yeah. Yeah Cool It's been a It's been an exciting day, isn't it? It has Right, we have fitted our very first soft closing Covered door. It's really soft and I don't think Hannah's just tested this Is it gonna rattle or not when we drive? We'll find out when we move, but at the moment it seems fairly secure And I'm sure there's ways of like softening that a little bit, but we've seen tights. We've got no handles on them We've got these where they've just got a little groove and that's just again just to Make things a little bit seamless just sort of catching on Your trousers or catching your leg or whatever when you're walking around the van, which I think is quite a good idea Hands over there. Are you getting one of those? Cabin at me, yeah
