I am very similar in nature. That’s why I appreciate that quality of attention to all details and reasoning for all decisions taken. I recognise that quality of character in your presentations and I appreciate and like that quality in others when I see it. And believe me, as a school principal during a 30 year career, I can tell you, being pedantic and focussed on detail is a rare and refreshing quality to observe in other people. Not a lot of people demonstrate those intelligences of attention to total detail and thinking things ALL the way through, before they rush in to start a project. Suzanne. Xx

I’m up and down ladders and stairs all day so I get it man. I had to make steps on ladders and stairs a very conscious thing and actually think about form and control. I have a tendency to zip around too. But that comes from drive and passion and I see that in your work. Thanks for the content and tips.

I am now addicted to the pursuit of perfection. In awe of your knowledge. How did you amass so much information in one lifetime? I'm soaking this up like a sponge. You are a one person University, George. I went and bought the same puck lights from Amazon for my van too. Thanks for saving me the research. Here is something I can give you back: With regard to plantar facsiitis - this is not what you have. PF is a sharp stabbing pain in the HEEL not the front of foot. If you are tight anywhere on your foot soles, its it due to lack of normal exercise, repetitive stress from standing and cramped positions, and also compression of your butt. Get off your butt, George! You need to stretch the butt muscles, leg muscles, and spine. For best results use a foam roller to 'iron' out your back. Use a lacrosse ball to work pressure points on your butt by sitting on it and slowly rotating till you feel the knots. If you are a masochist, use a baseball instead. Also use a large inflated ball to stretch your spine both ways. Lie on a picnic table or any heavy table in your workshop, wiggle down your shoulders off the table and hang down partially with arms down. Great stretch across chest, neck, shoulders. Repeat for lower half of body, wiggle hips halfway down so that legs stick out awkwardly. This pulls the lower back nicely and stretches Psoas muscle, Inguinal ligaments, etc. Now do some floor stretches - lotus position loosely, bend forward chin out toward outer leg. Great hip stretch. Do some gluteal stretches for sciatic nerve (see youtube), and leg crosses body, etc. All the hip opener stretches. This will loosen up neck, shoulders, knee, ankles, and soles of feet. They are all connected to the hips. At the end, stretch your hamstrings - this will directly relieve your foot pain. If you get a massage, tell the masseuse to dig into the hips. This will loosen up stiff shoulders and also the legs. Most njuries come from tight hips, nothing else. The hips never complain. They just send the pain down to other body parts. Tackle the hips and you resolve all the pain in your body everywhere. All the ACL tears, fused vetebrae surgery, accupuncture on neck... all from lazy, unused, cramped and locked hips. Swimming helps a lot to loosen up entire body. Ocean swimming is the best.

The wire stripper tool amazes me every time I use it. They really need to beef up the calibration lever. . Glad to hear you use WAGO connectors. I really gave them the tug test and they don't budge. . And yes, when pulling the light fixture out for replacement, it would be more convenient to have the connectors affixed to the backside of the fixture. However, that is generally a most rare occurrence, and IMHO, setting them in place with a little tape on a solid non-conductive surface is better for the long term. Longgggggg term!

Electrical tape will leave a very sticky residue due to the heat of the ceiling. Those Wego connectors will be a gooey mess soon. I would use that staple gun and staple a wire tie to the board. Then cinch it up snug on the wires and it will make for a longer more reliable method of keeping those wires put. The stapler I would use would be a round arrow stapler for wires. Then you will have that for duel purpose.

What you have is Plantar fasciitis. You will hear all sorts of remedies for this but there is one major reason for it. What helps mitigate it - 1. Anti Fatigue Mat - thick yoga mat from Ross or Home Goods is less than $10, or get the gym mat squares. 2. Proper arch support on your shoes since you have flat feet most likely. Get these from a good running store, not junky gel pads. Hard arch support that works. 3. Wear correct shoes like Keen sandals or Birkenstock with good arch support. 4. Stretch your hips, legs, and look for hip opener stretches on KZbin. 5. Swim! The main reason you are getting this issue and in fact all hip and leg issues is due to excessive sitting, compression of sciatic nerve, which then contracts hamstrings, piriformis, and other gluteal (butt) muscles. Stretching out the butt is the key to all leg, ankle, knee, lower back, neck, and shoulder pain. Yes, its that important. Lie down, take your leg, and bring it to your face. This stretches the piriformis. Do every stretch with that leg you can think of. Then do a hamstring stretch sitting with legs apart till your forehead touches the ground. This takes time, and you will improve in one week. No more pain. Anywhere.

Love your attention to detail! Wago's are excellent on every possible test you can throw at them. Particularly the "lever lock" style that you are demonstrating. You really can't beat them for connecting different sizes of wire and for connecting stranded to solid. Both of those are very hard to get a reliable connection with a wire nut or crimp as you point out. Another thing I've found is they are lightning fast to remove and reinstall when you discover you've routed something wrong or change your mind about how you want to wire something up. Probably never happens to you though, right?

Once I've made the connection, I wrap some electrical tape around the body and levers. Insurance!

George - pick up a 4-pack of FastCap 3rd Hand support poles. You will soon realize they’re PERFECT for van builds: ceiling panels, wall panels, template placement, etc. Thank me later :)

Couldn't you use the heavy mass vinyl as the 'strapping' holding all the planks together? By stapling the planks to the vinyl they would all be attached and move together as one.

You mentioned red night lighting, which is brilliant, and the point likely overlooked by many. Do you happen to have a link for those lights as well as those dimmers (very sleek!)?

Love all your videos!! Great explanations. One problem. The links to amazon for your products does not work for me here in Canada. Hummmm? So how do I buy for example the puck lights that you use using your affiliate links. Want to support but how?

Who makes those telescoping lifts you’re using, the one supporting the ceiling panel?

Those are photographic C-Stands with a ball head and a slice of plywood under a blanket. Totally home made.
