As the old saying goes "Measure twice, cut thirteen times". The Truck looks fantastic.

Sometimes you have to sneak up on a proper fit or else you spook it and lose it forever.

As someone who has built out multiple camper vans, cutting the subfloor board 10+ times, and gaps between the flooring and wheel wells, is so relatable. Those curves are not easy to figure out. Good job with your build! I hope you have many fun adventures in your campervan.

What a hilariously relatable van renovation struggle! It's so encouraging to see you and Savannah persisting through all the challenges of getting that flooring just right. Having an awesome assistant really makes a difference when things get tricky. Your determination and willingness to keep adjusting and retrying until it fits perfectly is definitely inspiring. Can't wait to see the finished van after putting in all this hard work! Wishing you both many amazing adventures on the road when the time comes

I love how you calmly go back and forth with the cut to get it right. You are so chill.

I've had a busy, tiring, and quite frankly crap day. This video was exactly what I needed to finish the day on a good note. You two are ridiculously adorable, and I very much enjoyed watching this adventure with power tools :D

My husband and I re did a horse trailer to sleep in, i KNOW YOU PUT A TON OF WORK INTO THIS BLESS YOUR HEART. Have safe safe travels

I couldn’t stop laughing at how many times You cut that plywood, hilarious…

The many talents of Nicole and can we just take a moment to appreciate Savannah and this relationship ❤️ The Internet is just so happy for this development.

I had a Honda Element for 18 years, greatest camping vehicle ever. This little van reminds me of it.

In '77 I bought a brand new Dodge Tradesman van and tricked it out with paneling, carpet, a bed, storage, aircraft lighting and a fab sound system. Drove up to Alaska, met a gal and spent every weekend camping in the wilderness. Thanks for the memories, you amazing young woman!

That is a really neat looking van. Ratchets: what a great idea. The cutting montage is very funny. The random herd of dogs wandering in and out of shot made me smile.

Honest DIY videos are the best kind! I'm looking forward to seeing the progress.

I felt it so hard when you were trying to get that subfloor fitted. My wife and I have run into that battle so many times in our battle with our 100yr old house.

This is the kind of wholesome content I’m subscribed for. Can’t wait for the next instalment!

Nicole happy giggles. What a wonderful world.

my main takeaway is, "gosh it must be warm up there," or "you've gotten used to the cold."

Such fun you doing the can, loved the repeated „brrrrr“ of the saw… 😜 Happy to see you two being such a lovely couple!

Greetings from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state! Enjoyed watching you strip out the van. Great job insulating. With the weather around here, you're going to need it! Bright Peaceful Blessings! 💜🪻💜🪻💜

In my country there's a saying among the Delica owners and connoisseurs that goes like "You can find no better car than Mitsubishi Delica", but instead of the "car" there's a "bike" (rhymes in my language as well). That's the best off road minivan, this generation in particular. Wishing you best experiences with this beauty and best luck in all your projects!

What a cute blueberry of a van. And that rounding hammer. Yum. And don't you just hate it when you are in the middle of something. and the battery's die;) Looks like the wood is getting layed in and coming together nicely.

That is the most Canadian van I have ever seen. Fun vid!

I think your awsome Nicole, and as a fellow skilled swinger of an axe I appreciate your skills and outdoor abilities, not to mention your sense of humor and lighthearted nature, Makes a guy stressed with life feel a little better

Im excited for your van era! When I was looking for a place to live recently, I seriously thought about just getting a van instead. ❤

I love the entire plywood fitting in the van!! I would never even attempt that.

I truly appreciate you bringing us along on this journey. Life is a learning process. Take care.

the delicia is a great van with a huge following, lots of groups you can join to see how others have fitted out theirs. long pull out drawers under the bed work really well, a lot of generic premade units you can incorporate

That is going to be a great vehicle. So nice to see you both !

Sweet. Mitsubishi Delica, if I'm not mistaken it's not a random choice, you told me about it a long time ago. It would seem like the beginning of a good flooring to... "ruin it a little later." But at least in a fun way :)

I love watching this. At first I thought 'how come she leaves her love at home for the workshop' but it was hardly about the workshop. I love watching the many tries, before something truly fits. Just how my odd jobs go about. And you're a wonderful couple, love to see that! Wish you two eternal happiness together.

As a carpenter myself, I feel you when trying to fit the wooden plank in the truck :D Respect also for keeping a cool head and not forcing it in place at the end :) I was so reminded of my day at work when you two cut the piece and then so yeah cut NOOOO XD

Teamwork makes the dream work!

*IVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY* to see someone else happy...!!!

OMG, you two are so cute together!! I didn't think you could get more adorable! Also, considering what you're using you did great!

Yea for team work! And yes, that was a tool. Absolutly. Thanks for sharing this I was smiling all the time. Can't wait for next videos of reno. And please, be careful with electro tools!

20/20 hindsight... The next time that you want to make a fitted panel, you may want to make a template from cardboard for the curved cuts. Make the template a little wider than the deepest cut. Tape sections of cardboard together if needed. Make the panel in two sections a few centimeters (or inches) wider than needed. A seam near the center allows you to cut a straight line to get the proper combined width. The fitted sections can then be used as a template to make a one piece covering the proper size and shape, or the cardboard templates can be reused to cut tiles or boards to the proper shape. This works for floors, walls, or ceilings. The right tool for the job... You have two saws, but you used the wrong one to make end cuts (cross cuts) for your flooring. The circular saw would have made the cross cuts (end cuts) quicker and straighter. Only use the jig saw when you need to make a contoured (curved or shaped) cut. A carpenter's square makes 90° cuts much simpler, I did not see one. (A speed square has even more uses.) A rubber hammer would have made snugging up the floor pieces together easier. ... All of this is a little too late to be of any help on this project, but some of it may be of use in the future. BTW, offering advice does not mean that I'm smarter, it just means that I have lived longer and made more mistakes. 😂

I enjoy how she added stabilization to the cutting area. We were on the same page there.

Love the can do attitude if at first it don't fit just keep going till it does and floor is gonna look amazing when it's done can't wait to see the other transformations you have in store for the van

You two are the cutest ever! ❤️ I can't wait to see the finished build!

You two are adorable! Very happy for you Nicole!

You certainly were having good, wholesome fun, great to see, and looking forward to seeing all you achieve.

Ooh that's a wicked van!!! I want to get a small van like that, or Chev Astro, that's AWD, put a little lift kit on it and some good tires for minor off roading...yours seems already set for that...and do a combination of camping and urban stealth camping. That van looks like a perfect choice.

That's the way to do it! Sneak up on it! Measure twice and cut once. You did an outstanding job and I love your new vehicle. You picked my favorite color!! 💙💙💙

You two are the cutest 🥰. The truck is starting to look amazing

It’s great to see you are no longer alone love the vehicle renovation 👍

Nice to see that Savannah has a pair of little guns also. Y'all make a good if not great couple. Thank you Nicole for sharing this video with us. May y'all have a good one. Have fun take care

So happy for you , you found someone to love wishing you both best wishes and much love together take care ❤️

you two are so freaking adorable. van's looking good too.

You really need a Black and Decker workmate. Not sure what they call them there but folding workbench. The old ones are best and super cheap. I have a couple of spares you can have free - but you pay the postage 😂

You two are SO ADORABLE! 😱 Nice work on your new van 😇

I don't modify vans but I did remodel a 160+ year old house and the subfloor struggle is real

Dig those Delicas. Thomas Heaton Photography has a real cool one too. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers!

Nicole, I can relate to that. I'm no carpenter but after many,many cuts to get the darn thing to fit in there nicely. Not perfect but hey whos going to know, except you.😂😂 Nice work both of you. In the future you might want to put up curtains or something to give you privacy. But I'm sure that's your next project. Have fun and be safe. Love ya❤❤❤

Your SO has some decent pipes too, kudos.

This was fun to watch! Wish you lots of good trips!

4:45 that’s exactly the way I would love to work. Repeat 30 times to get it almost right. But truth is, after 6, i used a hammer to make it feet. And glue the broken parts 😅 You’re my patience heroine.

This is going to be super cosy when you're done! Can't wait to see it progress.

Wow, on two levels. First, so happy to see you have a loving partner. You seem beautiful together 😊😊. On a lesser note, with regard to the van work, been there/done that. Watching your video is like watching myself work on such projects 😊😂😊. Thank you for sharing!

What can't this Handy-Woman do ?!? Nice work - hope yer new van is super comfy for road trips.

Your ability to not lose your temper and swear a blue streak is quite impressive.

Love is love! It is for everyone! Without question. I hope the whole world understands this soon. This video is an important way of showing this. I am sorry that this needs pointing out, as this should be as natural as anything, but it is. Okey dokey!! I like this series, and looking forward to the next step in this series of van life

The smile, the sparkle in the eye - definitely Love with a capital L. Great work on the van ( glad Savannah tied her hair back), but it definitely needs a place for axe's♥️

Las amor, una pareja increible y muy divertida. Disfruten el proyecto de construir su camioneta!!

The snacks in the van while you were working was perfection. Can't wait to see your progress in the next video!

You are always the smile to start the day.

I wish I had a Mitsubishi Delica. They seem like great vehicles. Best of luck with it.

Cool Delica! Looking forward to part two!

reminds me of when we tried to make a parcel shelf for my friends car out of MDF for his speakers to go into, took forever to get it right!

Oml y’all are so cute together, I can’t wait to see how the van turns out!
