Remember, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Give yourself a great amount of kudos for both your tenacity and ability to do what most women wouldn't try to do. I'm really liking this series of videos.

Give yourself a pat on the back You do your van your way and don’t compare to anyone else. We are all with you 100% and you’re doing a fabulous job 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🙏🙏

Wow, I really admire your determination and boldness of doing your own van build!!! It must feel like such an accomplishment to be able to do this yourself without relying on anyone else!!! There are not many in this world who have the courage and independence of building their own van into a home, and living a life of freedom with the nomadic lifestyle!!!! You have a lot to be proud of!!! Not only that, but your very intelligent, hilarious, and beautiful at the same time!!!

I, concur. 😜

So awesome watching you build this out. I usually never watch van builds because they’re so boring but I’m loving yours!!

Good to see you've learned the "Measure twice, cut once." rule.

Cheese jerky gets stuck in my head more than it should, thank you for adding to that total

Superb video editing!

Good start 🌹♥️🌹

You're doing great and having fun at the same time. I'm having fun watching it unfold!

Nice work, looked really good ✌️

As an engineer, I think you did a great job! Looks great to me.

Great start Tory👍 , never compare yourself to anyone.We are all on our own journey. If the floor is any indication this rest of the build is going turn out amazing .

Thank you so much!!

Nice work Tory. Floor looks great and your attitude is even better.

Hats off to you. Ya' do a lot of work in that skirt. for real 👍

If somehow you could install some kind of skirting around the van,that would also help to keep the cabin warmer. See "Bridge May Freeze Before Roadway" signs that explain the physics. There might be a way to circulate hot water through plastic tubing to keep the floor warm as a DIY radiant heater. Sketch out some ideas and talk with a plumber. I bet you could build a scale model to test the theory.

you did a an outstanding job. be proud cuz I am. onward and upward.

Fantastic job! You go girl!!

☆ TORY ☆ I really enjoyed the humor in this episode ! 😂 keep up the good work ! ❤

Well you could have done it just like you did! You rock girl! Shopping that vehicle right now! Great job! Radiant floor would be ultimate but heavy on the pocket! Cool though you know about it! Let's go!

This was amazing to watch and love the Ad at the beginning. Great work Tory & Tory. Floor looks great. Have a fabulous day Tory 😃

Wow, a educational entertaining & absolutely funny video 😂😂. Thanks 🥇

I really appreciate all the research and info you share and I totally get your struggle w/analysis paralysis. 😁 You’re doing great, and most of all, you’re actually out there doing a build, your 2nd build!!!

Love Your Personality

You work hard, you are amazing and I love your videos. Ron from Sweden

Damn what anybody thinks, you did a good job and it's YOURS. Also, You did more there than most of us watching here did today, I promise you. I didn't do this much shit in the last 2 weeks! 😀

Love the 90s tshirt

Lol that beginning that was hilarious

Educational & Entertaining at the same time! Keep up the good work Tory 💯💯💯

The killmat also acts as an insulation! Im installing it everywhere in my 4runner. It will keep your van cooler and will definitely keep it quieter especially on the roof when its raining!! Be safe out there!

I love how you sealed up all the plywood, I've watched so many videos where they did not do that and I cringe every time.

Doing an awesome job. Rocket Power🤘

"You do you, boo!" Hilarious. Would a Trex-like product provide enough support?

Nice work. We live in the CO high-country and have a 2006 Sprinter built out by Leisure Travel Vans as a 2 season RV. Insulating our floor is next up grade.

I love your humor! ❤ fantastic content!!

Spookily I insulated my van floor today to, I also kept it thin as Im trying to maximise the headroom. Enjoying your build !

Looks great.

Hey Tory! Amazing start and fantastic video as always! Loved the Percy Jackson clip in there! Also love that Joe Pantoliano is the voice of Sticky Fins in SpongeBob as well (all the best movies & shows)! 🤘👍🤪

Say what say what…😂😂 great thanks it’s in my head now lol enjoy your videos - From Atlanta Georgia:)

really enjoying the videos

Tory absolutelty great job your moving at the pace that works for you. I mean you put down a floor. there is a sealant called butyl tape comes in a roll used in construction and automotive applications uses include sealing joints between metal roofing panels. found at home depot and amazon another thing you might consider is spraying under carriage of van with rubberized sealant for road noise and the elements. Rust-Oleum undercoating pro grade. Thanks for sharing keep up the awesome work.

Awesome tips! Glad your van is coming along well. Can't wait to see how it keeps turning out. Always be angry octopus!!!

Parece una broma que tú vayas a camperizar esa furgoneta, creo que te supera.

Great job!!

Glamour,I am glad.shamim zahuri from bangladesh🐦❤🏭

🙌🏼 I’m building my van out and mannnnn is it stressful! But going to be so worth it! Thanks for your vid’s, I’m a straight beginner and your videos are very helpful! And you’re funny! 😊💛

Tory, could you please explain why you went with Birch plywood and not a marine grade plywood? It seems to me that marine grade would have solved many if not all the issues you mentioned. Granted, it's not pretty but it is cheaper and functional since you're putting Vinyl flooring over it anyway. Oh, and don't forget to stop and take a breath from time to time. It's not a race so don't stress not getting things done quickly. 😁👍 As always, BIG HUGS and much ❤from Tennessee!

The wife and i love your effort and confidence. Wishing you a wonderful...and continued FUN van build. We loved the partial Batman, Robin etc floor pieces.

Floor installation nicely done Tory. Excellent move adding Batman and Robin.

Pretty good for a girl. Juuuuust kidding. :P That was really well done. Can't wait to see how this van build progresses!! Keep up the good work.

OMG she's so cool...

You’re doing an amazing job 😊

Good job

I didn't know how much would go into the floor, i did not skip through like i normally would on a build video.

Beautiful honey. I think you did a great job installing the wood supports, insulation, cut each piece of plywood and put it in the van to make a floor is a great job. Love you. ❤❤❤❤

Good video!

Each small step is closer to the end 🌻

Tory don’t forget to add business decals to your van to improve security. A Rodent capture and Disposal service will discourage potential intruders.

your editing skills and voice overs are awesome, they add an extra zip to the videos. I love the human emotions which you bring to the fore. Well done Tory, lots of love.

Nice job on the floor. In my mind, I'd probably complicate it in certain ways. Thinking some day to build out a cargo trailer or a box truck.

I'm a carpenter, and I think your work looks great, I cant fault anything you did. { ahemm, except that little back skirt thingy, I'm not sure if that is correct workwear : P }

🤣 fantastic sponser!!

u go girl. im million mile x~country car hauler retired. Keep van forever. Slept in truck & was best sleep ever. Never know when u wanta get away, my favorite is s.w..

The OG 001! Love it.

Love your light heart in this video 😀 hope you have a great week 🙏

Your videos heal me 😂❤ I'm a step ahead of you, so it's eay too easy to compare my journey to yours and all the things I could have done differently. But then I see you getting thru similar feelings of overwhelm and it doesn't feel so bad anymore! Thank you! ❤

You are something, so appreciate your videos. I'm just finishing up my Transit, high roof, ext. body conversion. It's a lot of work to video yourself doing a lot of work. ✌Thank you for your knowledge and patience.

I'm enjoying following this build with you. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Your so pretty Tory ❤

If it was me I would have painted batman black 😆 🤣 😂

Really enjoying these videos (no sass, promise)... you're doing a great job and lasagna fixes everything.

@10:13 iLOL out of nowhere!

That looks so awesome and done well. Good job!!

Smart move not installing the floor too. I've done 2 builds and always do the floor at the end. I'm an ex-builder and think it's nuts seeing these van builds when they install the finish floor at the start of the build. That's better suited for the end of the build.

Most van build videos are just time lapses that don’t really give a sense of what’s involved. You are showing us what it really takes for a project like this. My only recommendation, buy better tools. The Ryobi One system is ok, but really underpowered for the long haul. Spend a little more for Milwaukee or DeWalt tools. Also, they make drill/countersink bits that eliminate steps, and use a quick-change bit system to make your workflow go faster. I realize you are WAY past a lot of this by the time you post the videos, but it might help the next person down the line. I think you’re doing great!

One heck of a job kiddo. Great work.

This is such a fun idea and it’s awesome your doing this. Honestly though I reckon you put in a bathroom and toilet area. Give you more options to visit places, however it’s your van. Recently a saw a video of a couple that have van similar to yours and they put the bathroom behind the driving area. They’re the van couple that also build vans professionally.

Floor looks good. I didn’t screw my plywood floor down. Though I did screw the plywood joints together by angling finish screws. I wish I would’ve bought tongue and groove 3/4 OSB or Plywood instead. Not sure why I didn’t. I built everything on top of the finished floor. So I didn’t think screwing the floor down and adding more holes was a good idea.

Regarding the cold floor problem, I used those puzzle piece Eva foam yoga mats you can get from Walmart. I put the on the floor in the winter and for the first half second they are cold then the part you are touching warms up. I didn’t bother to insulate the floor of my van.

If you make youre floor higher, and you have a webasto, you can put the pipes also go under youre floor... than you have a cheap way of floorheating if you use the correct lines. We did this in our Iveco as well. Works great!, you can do that as well on the walls.

How does a used rebadged European FIAT DUCATO van cost $50k in the states, when you can buy a 2 year old one in UK or Europe for under £23k inc. ??? You could buy an almost new one for £29k with 1,000 miles on the clock. Shipping from the UK to USA is around $5K.+re-registration taxes.

Way to go Tori you are improving all the time. I love how your videos are funny and entertaining it really helps! I don’t understand how the sound tape stuff works?

I have been watching a long time, I subscribe a while back, stop the drama please, and that thigh strap, why? Love that strap, keep doing that!😁 Cheers!

I think I would of used construction adhesive between the firing strips and floor ! You do on houses and they dont move (hopefully) ✌️💙🎵 From STL MO

Very timely video for me as I am trying to decide on the best floor for a camping van. Is that strap on your leg for hanging your hammer? 🤔

After watching a lot of your videos I have come to the conclusion that you are totally weird. 😜 BTW, that's a good thing. Did you install the floor and then after install the heated floor? I think you are doing a great job! You are learning a long the way and it looks like you are having a great time! I have to ask, what was that black strap around your leg? I was thinking it held your knife holster so when you go out you would be all Tomb Rader ready. 😉 I am enjoying your videos. Wishing you a fun-filled life full of smiles, happiness, good health, good friends, and adventures. Ooh, you ever thinking of stepping out of your comfort zone and sleeping in a Target parking lot? 🙂 Hehe

Hi Tori it's Tony you know I watch all your videos but I didn't know you had a twin Tori you outdid yourself with this you precise and comical and by the way you think you could send me a slice of that lasagna sweetie you're doing a great job I'll see you in the next video have a good evening and pleasant dreams

SUBBED for the comedy. 👍

Hope you do more east coast adventures once the build is done! I love your bulbasaur. I'll have to put an espeon in my subfloor.

@Tory Delury now we know you have a crush on Bulbasaur 😮

Can you explain why you have to know where everything will go on the floor plan ?

My question always is where are you living while you are taking on such a large long term project. 😂😂😂 And how do you get the room and storage to do the build. Oh by the way you are a kook 😂 which makes this more enjoyable...😊

💚

hiii

Your fake sponsor lol 😂 still laughing 😆👍

What do the little pieces of sound deadoning do?

I don’t know how I feel about the wool in the floor. In the event it gets wet or has moisture there’s no way for it to dry. It may just hold the moisture like a sponge. I am currently building a shuttle bus and fullsize school bus, I used Owens Corning foamular insulation board and glued it down with loctite foam board adhesive. Chuck Cassady has a great video about insulating floors and another one about insulation in general.

Havelock wool is the insulation of choice for vanlifers. Not sure of the science but it is a tried and tested product as far as moisture regulation is concerned.
