Bit of a short one after a break due to some personal tragedy, hoping to get back into the swing of weekly uploads for 2021 though! I had already done some floor varnishing in 2019 before this big stint of van building, so this was just topping up with another 2.5 coats with the remaining Lakeland Paints wood varnish (so glossy!) that I had left. Bit lacking in footage due to time lapse fails but basically covers the things I found weird from the instructions and how I interpreted them.

One thing I didn't mention in the video is that I realised that I had done my floor cladding the wrong way up, meaning the gaps in my floor are bigger than they should be. Oops. Was way too late to change once I'd realised though so gonna have to live with it, along with the fact that cladded floors in a van are not too practical. I would begrudgingly do things differently if I did another van in future.

Next week I'll be talking about the missing D+ connection in the van and how I got around that for use with my Votronic Triple Charger.
