    Ahhhh, yes. Using drills / impact drivers to install screws really speed things up and makes jobs much easier! But on the flip side they can strip a screw head in mere seconds, mangle threads, over-torque fasteners and generally don't give you any feedback before disaster.
    I would use them any day of the week for woodworking / furniture fitting but remember that they aren't a complete replacement for a manual screwdriver for those more delicate tasks!
    Great job on the van build so far guys!

    I love how Nic is always happy even when it goes wrong. Well done Poo-knee. That hole is perfection. And a big woof to the manager.

      I did the same a few years back. It's hard when you love the build and the travel so much because both sadly don't go hand in hand. Now, I just seem to be doing a build every 2 years to fulfil both needs 😂

  • @hennnnerz
    @hennnnerz Год назад +1

    I'd definitely do those screws by hand or maybe try using a Bosch IXO cordless screwdriver or similar, probably save you time in the long run

    • @hennnnerz
      @hennnnerz Год назад

      Also some tape on the roof where you don't want the silicone bead to go can help. I left mine tacky and it looks a bit of a mess, but the most important thing is that it's 100% waterproof! Nobody is ever going to see the silicone anyway!

    • @nicroams
      @nicroams  Год назад +1

      Yesss I think next time, a handheld screwdriver or not so powerful tool 😅. Never have I ever worked with such a delicate fan. I heard leaving it tacky is best and you’re right, no one is going to see it so it really doesn’t matter 🤗

    Nothing goes as easy as we first think. You have the patience to overcome many a set-back so all good. That lumpy roof makes sealing it in very challenging for sure. Good job you work well together. Good to see you wearing ppe. xx

    I did slightly cringe when you said "My Van" Sam is a dam grafter! and very skilled - what is the price on that... Must be love lol - What i am saying it just didn't need to be said - He is always bigging up the subs on the monetised channel - Give the man some credit.

    • @nicroams
      @nicroams  Год назад

      I don’t think by saying the van is mine is discounting his skills or removing any credit he deserves. The fact is, it is my van and I paid for it, why should that be cringe to say? The van we live in is his van. We got together with our own vans and it’s just made sense to keep it that way 🙃. There was no insult intended by stating the truth and the last time I checked in with Sam, who reviews the videos and was right next to me when I said it, is still very happy with the fact it is mine 🤗
