Putting the FINISHING TOUCHES to our Self built Campervan

[@LordandLordettes]

Leigh, you should put all your pins on a display board and put it up in the lodge so you can see them every day! They are so lovely it's a shame to hide them away. I have all my pins on a triangle flag hanging up, one for Disney and one for Universal. 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

No real room for things like that at the lodge. Its a nice idea but we like to keep thins a little more minimal style

[@stephmcghie8732]

Loved Leigh's enthusiasm for having a drawer declutter 😅, definitely on my list to do x

[@susanrobinson2746]

Have you heard of Swedish Death Cleaning, I do this all the time. Where you work on eliminating unnecessary items from your home, so loved ones won't be burdened with the task after you pass. Don't want anyone rummaging through my pant draw when I die 😂😂

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes I have heard of that. I dont like the name of it though 😢

[@gilscot100]

I have been doing that as well. Husband was reluctant at first but is now into the way of it. It really is a good idea.

[@Jeanine-hw5cf]

Van looks amazing! All of your beautiful choices have come together the textiles work so well together 👌🏻

[@lynshaw8691]

Wow you read my comment! So cool. Thank you 😊😊

When are you making your delicious 'Lodge Guys Curry' again?!!! 😋 xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Actually haven't had it for ages. Might do it this weekend now you've reminded us

[@clairepaylor893]

De-cluttering the home, de-clutters the mind! Nothing better than a good clear out. I really need to do it. Come do it for me Leigh 😂

[@julieirvine8506]

Lisa is definitely rubbing off on leigh with all the decluttering 😂 if they dont know ur sarcasm by now nick then they aren't watching enough vlogs 😂😂😊

[@dianeprice5798]

Morning guys, that's a shame about your favourite cafe closed , I'm sure it will probably be open soon , looks like a lovely seaside town , I'm always trying to de-clutter but sometimes it's hard to throw something out especially now my sons are all grown up, but I De-clutter small bit at a time, I like going to IKea but I noticed that BM and other shops have some storage box's for drawers, hope you find you leak on roof with your lovely helper Leigh , have a lovely weekend 👍

You've got me in the mood to declutter.i watched Marie kondo last Yr and still fold my clothes her way, so neat and tidy, leigh I believe you will keep them neat. Great vlog again. Love to you both as always ❤️

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Will have to give her a watch 👌

[@jimlaidlaw7274]

6pm Wednesday 13th March Hi leigh and nick we have watched all your you tube videos over the years just missed you in a lot of florida trips 😢 it's now part of our TV routine we love watching😮😮 your trips always makes us want to book a holiday I have a suggestion for all your little disney nick nacks we keep all of ours as well we put them in a frame and hang them in our spare room we call it our memory room so just a wee thought for you rather than hide them in the back of a drawer always great to see what you are up to with your lovely family keep them coming ps if you come to Edinburgh in your van contact me I'm a taxi driver and will show you around the city free of charge of course 😀 jim and Shirley from Edinburgh

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoy the videos

[@kts64]

I love my extended hose i use to end up buying & throwing out old hose with kink in, best thing i ever bought had mine 3 yrs now

[@wandering_williamses]

Great video again 😀 I was also sorting all my draws out and found things I didn't want to throw but didn't want to keep! (trying to save the planet and all that hehe) so I got the freecycle app its great! As your treasure might be someone else's 😊 hope that helps x

[@runaroundsueaccessibletrav6357]

Leigh I bought little locking pins for my pins at Disney in orlando so that they dont fall off.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thats a good idea

[@mandyedavis7978]

I have the IKEA drawer boxes in my underwear and socks, I also have one for my medication. Most of the furniture in our house comes from IKEA. We are lucky that our nearest store is a short drive down the M27 in Southampton. We always have a de clutter of our house a couple of times a year it’s amazing how much stuff 3 adults accumulate in a short space of time 😂

[@tallactordude]

You continue to motivate me to do some decluttering - maybe one of these days I’ll actually act on that motivation!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Do it! It will make you feel good

[@magshunt4392]

Its a good idea to have a dryer to air off your wet towels and dry your smalls.Also someplace to hang your jackets if they are wet and last but not least a mat outside the door to keep van clean ❤

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yep, lots more little buts like that we need to think about

[@mrsc8044]

A tip from the dealer when we bought our first van - never fill a water tank with any attachment on the hose. This avoids the risk of the attachment or any parts flying off into the tank, or worse, getting lodged in the filling channel.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Good tip

[@susanevans3215]

Great vlog guys,your van looks terrific,well done both,cannot wait for you travels to start x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@nicolaward1034]

I’m always tempted with the Disney pins too but like you say, there are memories attached to them & it’s nice to reminisce ❤️ xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes, nice to have a few that remind you of certain holidays but im not one for going overboard and collecting any old thing

[@pamcradow2956]

I've been fascinated by the van build & it's not even something I'd ever do. Nick Fixit is amazing! Do you have space for a spare tyre?

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes we have a spare tyre 👍

[@rachelhalse8471]

Thanks for another vlog. Your trips to Bridlington always trigger memories of childhood when I used to go to our caravan at sewerby. Hope your both well. Xxx

[@davemulready]

Nice One Guys .

[@WiresWackyfan]

Hi guys, another great blog as usual. Regarding your leaky roof on the lodge, we have a similar issue with our extension roof where two roofs meet. Check your gutter flashing because if the gutter gets clogged then the water builds up and overflows in the roof cavity. Ours builds up with moss from the roof and when it rains it blocks up but when it drys it gets blown away and that’s why it doesn’t happen all the time. Have you figured out your table extension? How about a hinge so it drops like a wing table, then when you use it you could have a slide bar to hold it up.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

the gutters overhang 2 ft so if they back spill it doesn't go near the walls to get inside, I think from getting the camera in the roof it's a nail that had pieced the insider membrane and it's running down there

[@DDadTravels]

Love the pins. Always thought of picking these up!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍♥️

[@lynnekasatkin]

Oh thought you going down to 3 days a week. vlogs were going to be longer on those day's or did i not hear correctly??..

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes we will be trying to make them longer. The ones going out now are before we decided to go down to 3 👍

[@missymichel1]

Hi guys! I got the same hose for my Rv but it’s a food grade hose. I love it! They are so easy to roll up and store in the storage bin of my Rv. 14:31

[@stevenpluff6481]

I've said it before and I'll say it again "the van looks awesome ".

[@kevshort3068]

Will echo what others have said about those hoses, we've had a couple split on us before.

[@monaparsons5733]

Glad you like them!

Careful with that cloth like hose. Had one and it lasted about 3 times before it exploded when filling with water.

Hi How do you find your Amazon Store Front? 🤔 Really fancy investing in that fabulous hose pipe!!! Thanks in advance!!! xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Just do a quick Google for the lodge guys amazon store 👍

[@sueross3257]

Why don’t you install 2 hinges under the table of the van for the extension…..similar like they do in restaurants to extend a dining table. This way you won’t have to store the extension….it would just fold under the table.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

it would hit the tops of our legs and the table post as it's in the middle of the table

[@kts64]

I would of put two velcro on either side of tv the give it a more secure hold instead of just centre hold

[@janetovens756]

Ive just bought 2 packs of those Ikea drawer tidies from Amazon. We have an Ikea but its well over 60 miles away and a flippin nightmare to get to so happy to pay over the odds to get them tomorrow

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Probably be easier for us to order from Amazon also. We just usually wait until we are back over that way. Wish they would open an Ikea closer to the lodge

[@helenshomecomforts677]

@@TheLodgeGuys you can order them direct from ikea just bought 2 packs only £4 postage for the pair. Ikea U.K. page does delivery
