The only thing more surprising than you still working on curtains is that so many of us are still fascinated by them 😊. Love the way they looked.

[@user-bx3sw6zi9k]

A little light for trips to the bathroom is good!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Very true 👍

[@caroleflynn761]

The blinds and curtains look perfect.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍👍

[@wendypearce8799]

Tell you what... you two will never starve you are blooming good at everything!!😀 love the blind situ... its all superb, now enough blowing smoke... when are you off on ya travels in it. Show us some fun places lads ❤

[@samanthamccarthy8343]

Lads just amazing I just love the blinds, Nik there is honestly nothing you cannot do fair play to ya 🤗

[@hnh455]

I don’t think the curtains are that bad like the comments are saying! They look nice cosy and will stop the insects flying in! And you chose the right colour

[@samanthahobbs2966]

I’ve just come back from Fuerteventura and was surprised how nice the weather was, I’d recommend for the winter/ spring sunshine!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Definitely missing the sun this winter

[@samanthahobbs2966]

@@TheLodgeGuys I’d recommend getting away for sure!

[@Kerrie.jones32]

Love, love, love the blinds, and compliment the rest of the van very well. Weather was crap the day we met up, we mentioned emigrating too when we got back 😂 love to you both as always ❤️

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Emigrate over our way 😍😂

[@Kerrie.jones32]

😂 we talk about it daily ❤

[@clairehaigh4612]

I like the cream with the leather straps. It’s kind of safari style.🦒

[@lindajames8082]

Absolutely love those blinds guys. ❤

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍♥️❤️👌

[@taracarey9175]

You both make me laugh & smile your both so real & comical , nick those curtains poor Leigh 😅x

[@robmilner4801]

"It put me off when he started draining his hump." A line we never knew we needed in our lives. 😂😂😂

[@brendaevans1330]

Omg have a headache over curtains and blinds 😂

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We did too 😭

[@rachelhalse8471]

Thanks for another vlog. Dreading seeing a thumbnail...Nick ends up in A&E after he has drilled into his finger or chopped his leg off with the saw 😂. Everything looking fab. X x

[@kitcherl88]

Just a thought, you could put weighted magnets in the bottom corners of the curtains where they meet to keep them together, we have that in our tent and it’s amazing!! x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

we put a metal rod in them

[@user-ei1rv6et4z]

Nick as a nurse you are making me very nervous cutting the wood with the saw using your leg to hold it. Please be careful. I would hate to me for you to slip and cut into your leg x

[@rayfarnell1387]

Hey guys,Karen approved lol.Exactly what she was thinking.Looks amazing.Great job with the build and hope you have awesome trips.Will be watching of course. Cabot Trail here in Nova Scotia waits for your adventures and Halifax etc.if you ever decide to check out this country. Let us know.

[@Atheenah]

I’m in awe of Nick’s talent for builds like this. Wow! You are amazing!

[@janetstevenson3954]

Blinds look great 👍 pull yourselves together now !! No more curtain chat 😂🤗🤗

[@TheLodgeGuys]

let's not get DRAWN into this topic :)

[@ferganwalker]

Nick, you are never beaten. You will tackle any task, and always with a brilliant outcome, and of course, it could not be achieved without the assistance of Leigh. Re floaty curtains. To eliminate this, you can put weights into the hems of the curtains. Van is looking 👌 fabulous x

[@stephenjamesstanton4481]

Lol @ Leigh's Eye roll 😅 about curtaingate

[@Nicki_nik_ki]

I think its all amazing I'd challenge anyone to turn their hand to anything like Nick can , he's amazing ⭐️⭐️

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you 👍

[@shirleymclean5895]

So precise, blinds brill

[@kaz6655]

I’d still put the trims so from the outside you can’t see any light it would make van more stealth and no one would know you were inside it might be safer.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👌

[@SH-hx7bx]

The blinds look great. Just don’t understand the need for the curtain.

[@kts64]

I agree the blinds looked better with curtain, but the doors might be drafty hence why need curatins in front

[@TheLodgeGuys]

draft, day time privacy and cosiness on a night

[@janicebetts878]

Just got one of them torches so good great beam on it .

[@Vibesoftheworld49]

Love the long van vids!

[@suegreenlindaayres1855]

Me again!! It might help to spray starch the blinds??

[@TheLodgeGuys]

oh good idea

[@gloriaastley7553]

Wow the blinds look fantastic ,great job 🤩

[@meganrose95]

Ah so proud of you two. It's even more beautiful in person, was so overwhelmed! Absolutely outstanding job 👏🏼

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you so much!!

[@stevenpluff6481]

Still amazed at what y'all have done. Excellent job

[@juliemcgowan504]

U can buy weights for curtains and they will then hang properly. Also u can get pinch pleat pins for the heading tape which will replace your safety pins! But those blinds look so much better, well done. I assume there was a reason u didn’t get the matching material for the curtain

[@lyndabyers]

Lol over the curtains too 😂

[@JennyS54]

WooooHooooooo, the blinds & curtains look amazing, great job Nick, you clever little bunny, Love Ya’s Always, ❤❤

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sarahhill1796]

Hi Nick & Leigh Curtains, Curtains, Curtains!!!😂🤣😂 In all seriousness the blinds look fantastic especially with the added touch of the leather you’ve done a fantastic job Nick❤ Great vlog guys xxx

[@Kiwiangie1965]

I lived in New Zealand as a child and they had buns called sally lunn’s they were round small buns with fruit in and pink icing on top with coconut we would split them and put butter on them my husbands grandmother was from Lancashire and she used to make Sally Lunn buns without fruit but with icing on top very light and buttery very much like the finger buns that a well known high street shop sell leave the curtains just have the blinds it’s a cleaner look

[@kts64]

Yes you can see light on outside but its only the edges, you cant see inside of van or who in van, i have a daughter who too much of a prefectionist 🙈🙈 its fine lads 🙄 the creases will fall out on the long curtain eventually 🙄🙄 the pleates is fine, i like a full pleat

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Nick is definitely a perfectionist 😑

[@sueross3257]

Nix the curtains guys! It looks soooo much better with the blinds. Your lodge has just blinds and no curtains. Curtains make the tiny van looked cluttered.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

we love them :/

[@nicolaward1034]

Very impressive! The blinds look great 👍🏻 xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@inkyfingeredcat]

Those blinds look amazing!

[@clairepaylor893]

Leigh’s face when nick said about “draining his hump” was a picture 😂😂😂

[@suefoster6574]

You’ve done a lovely job with the blinds the leather set it off really nice. Love the look. Of the van

[@TheLodgeGuys]

thanks x

[@Chieftracyhorse]

Amazing work guys 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼……enough with curtains now!😄😄😄

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes! Thank you! Done with them 😂

[@admiralpicard2010]

I agree with Leigh,I'm sick of hearing about curtains!

[@Sensation_Spectrum]

Isn't everyone.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

should have done white to start with

[@suelake2909]

To keep the curtains down put a line of curtain weights at the bottom it will keep them hanging properly x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

we use a metal rod in them x

[@MISSIONSPACEFORGOO]

Hi guys I'm an ex scare actor I was working screamland in Margate Kent for about 3 years before the pandemic the last one I done was themed around the hammer house of horror you guys would of loved it lol.

[@karenbrown2226]

Please, no more curtaingate! I switched off half way though the vlog!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

you'll be turning the next one off too then :)

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Curtain gate is at an end thank God

[@suzannecuerrier279]

Blind looks good!

[@dianeprice5798]

Hiya guys great job on the blinds and like the curtains,👍

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@alanabailey6705]

The blind look very nice looking forward to seeing you your next video

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks 👍

[@martphil747]

Hey boys, just thought.. Don't forget condensation on the windows. You know how the insides can get pretty wet, that will stain your blinds if they're pressed up against your windows on the doors. Watch you every day for years. Hugs x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

they are plastic backed so shouldn't be a problem plus there is a gap behind

[@user-ob4xh4gs7r]

Right now you guy's nearly finished. Where you takeing us 😅 Janet Kelly.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Got to wait for some work done in the garage first

[@user-ep2sx6rp4y]

Can I order some made to measure curtains from you 😂

[@JennyS54]

😂😂😂😂

[@ronaroamsdeniseandsonny3545]

Aren't the strings just tucked in at the edges. A gentle tug should pull the ends of the string out from behind the heading tape

[@TheLodgeGuys]

not on IKEA heading tape it's not there

[@annitareagan4654]

Why? Why? Why curtains?!? Lol! 😜 Its looks soo nice and modern with just the blinds.

[@kts64]

Its dark enough for you to sleep guys 👌

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yep 👍👌

[@brendacarrodus7767]

that curtain looks like a satin bondage room

[@TheLodgeGuys]

plenty of leather left too

[@glendajames6006]

The blinds look great but the curtains are really not necessary looked great without

[@TheLodgeGuys]

we love them :)

[@kts64]

But if you emigrate Leigh you miss us 😁 specially the ones you not met yet, hopfully you visit newcastle There is always Lanzarote nice weather all year round

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We will definitely be going there in the van one day 👍

[@Matthew4TheWin]

Struggling to understand why you’d make those very sleek and contemporary blinds but then put something that looks like my nanan’s nets over them?

[@Matthew4TheWin]

Oh my god a PELMET? Please no! 😮

[@TheLodgeGuys]

hehehe you'll see how it looks on the next vlog, it's just to hide the grey carpet it looks pretty blended now

[@darrenconway127]

Nick, the builder, can he fix it? Yes he can

[@catherinebernard8168]

😂😂😂you'll both be having nightmarish dreams about curtains,anyway fab as usual, can't wait to see the duvet cover and pillows on the bed now,fab as always ❤Xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

that ship has sailed :)

[@Glenfiner]

Nick is very good at Faffing! I wish I had a Nick to do all my Faffing.He is incredibly clever! 😂😀

[@janetstevenson3954]

😂

[@andyjnuttall]

Doctor Doctor i keep seeing Curtains every where! Oh pull yourself together 😉

[@CelticJ]

That door curtain is going to get really dirty quickly and I don’t think they will fit in the temu washing machine when you are travelling 😂😂

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Lol. We could try 😅

[@kts64]

You dont want it flush with window as windows get condensation, & windows do get wet during winter months, Lol see nick thinking 🤔🤔my thinking 🤔🤔 great minds 💭💭🤔🤔

[@naomiparcell]

Love the blogs but Im having flashbacks to the constant talk of "the thing"....... no more curtain talk haha

[@kts64]

Nick starting to have OCD on the van 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@TheLodgeGuys]

no more it's sorted curtains wre there to stay #curtaingate

[@stephmcghie8732]

I bet Nick dreams about blinds and curtains 😴 x

[@sueeilertsen751]

The blinds look nice and neat curtains too much. Takes away from your craftsmanship.

[@janetovens756]

The blinds on the back doors look great do you need curtains

[@TheLodgeGuys]

it's just so in the sunshine we can close the curtain and keep light and privacy and to make not feel cosy on a night

[@ddjrm]

The blinds are great, don't like the curtains, they are redundant and not necessary. The blinds are clean lines and gives you all the privacy, the curtains just look frumpy.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

love frump

[@suebowie9284]

Awww Nick, you’re such a perfectionist and so clever, you’re great at everything you do! Your a lovely couple xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you so much!!

[@tallactordude]

So Leigh is saying that with any luck, we should be saying curtains to talk about curtains. 😂 It’s always nice to be included in the comments of the day!
