Thanks for the shout out guys, watched u guys from the troopy days so crazy to hear u watch us now too, 👍
Cheers guys! Keep up the great work, can’t wait to see the beast finished. Absolutely loving watching the progress 🙌🏼
Your videos never get old. they are ALWAYS consistently well edited. This is basically a video about doing whatever around your own home (so to speak) and somehow you managed to make it seem so cinematic. Its brilliant!
Oh and the sink looks great! im glad you decided to put the mixer on the angle. definitely suits it.
Always so appreciative of your kind comments Terran 🥹 we worked hard on this edit so really glad you enjoyed it 🫶
regional life suits you guys, amazed with how well you work together and appreciate hearing that sometimes you get hangry! beats the fake instagrams and shows your progress
Loved this episode. The farm is so beautiful, what a special place to spend all your Myrtle build time ❤️🥰
This was the best episode. So diversified and balanced with the content. What a great day!
Aww thank you Jason! We put a lot of effort into this edit so really happy you enjoyed it 🫶🏼
Just what i needed to watch today ❤. Big day in the mountains with my 4wd yesterday, now coffee, Jack & Megan; then time to unpack and wash the Ute .. love Sundays when they start with Jack & Megan ❤❤
Aww love to hear that! Thanks so much for starting your Sunday with us, hope you enjoy the episode ☕️
WOW you left the best news last! Congratulations to a beautiful couple. So so happy for you both. As a wedding photographer from the past I know real love when I see it. And you guys are both shining with love for each other, it’s so obvious 👏🎊🥂🍾💍💍🎉❤️
nailed the sunset timelapse. really enjoyed the vibe of this video. Good sunday morning cheer
Thanks for watching! Amazing sunsets hey. 😃👍
What a magic country we live in..so lucky. Go you sweet things.
So grateful for the time we've been able to spend here!
Loved this one! " a day in tge life of Jack and Megan" was fun! Thx phil
So happy you enjoyed this one Phil! 🥰
Sink set up looks great, love your Sunday mornings.
Mertel is really looking 👏 congratulations 😊
Porridge with brown sugar and nutmeg.
Yes I have been watching that build such a funny couple.
Thank U for a day in a life on the farm.
Awesome guys!
Great video guys!! Jack use flexy hose for sink not pvc in a van also get an instantaneous hot water system…. Don’t stuff around with a storage one do it properly!
You guys are in a great place. Unbelievable sunrise and sunsets plenty of fire wood peace and quiet. Great video.
We are so lucky to be here! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Jack you should get a John Guest tempering valve for your hot water system it'll help you save water.
Try "the outfit ". A kiwi guy n French girl. They travelled allover Aussie outback and WA in a unimug. Now they are rebuilding a Swedish army 6 x 6 truck there in Sweden. Well worth watching.
We love your channel so much
Thanks Ian!! We have followed them from the beginning. They’re great hey.
Watch every sunset and rise you can you’ll never see one the same again.
Love that! 🩵
I watch true blue guys, too. They are rebuikding an Austria Pinzgauer. We have a few in Australia, too. They were a successor to the Haflinger, which I owned . Also watch The Outfit. They are rebuilding a 6x6 Volvo in Europe, having built a Unimog in Australia
I agree with you the are entertaining to watch.
Megan, that was an awesome snort😅😅😅😅😅
Hahaha some good ones escape me sometimes 😆
Doing a great job guys, old caravans can be challenging . You will love it when it’s finished
Jack, as a fellow FB Marketplace dreamer - I can see Myrtle mounted on a 6x6 😊
Nice to be with you guys)
Thanks for joining us! 🥰
The guessing game was hilarious
Haha glad you found it as funny as we did 🤣🤣
I've got a white sink and it's a bugger to keep clean. The stainless steel is a great choice.
I have one off those hot water units that I put in our caravan build, works great and heats up pretty quickly.
Great to hear that!
Thank you, I'm loving the progress.
So happy to hear that Elaine! Thanks for joining us 🥰
Beautiful people ❤
🥹🫶🏼
Perfect timing! Sat down to have brekkie & there you were ❤️
Yayyy perfect! ☕️🩵
thank you, I'm loving the progress, can't wait until murtle is all finished and the wondering what the next project will be.
Always enjoy your videos and really appreciate the effort you put into them.
Looking great both of you, thanks again for sharing 👍
Great vid again; glad to see you ack and laughing. Myrtle is looking great and you’ll be travelling again in no time
We used the Duoetto Mk2 in our van and on 240v it’s incredible, on 12v it’s slower but just switch it on when you drive so your dc to dc is pumping extra amps in 👌🏼
Sorry guys but I was watching @truebluetravellers about 4 months before I found you 😊. Lucky for you I'm happy to watch both 😅. Wonderful to see that your taking time out for 'you' (reading) and it's important to have a routine. Thanks guys. Until next week
I still cook your burrito mix and the dumpling soup. Kids and I love them
Thanks 🙏
Love to hear that David! Thanks so much ☺️
We have the same hot water system. What a bargain you got! Ours doesn't really work on 12 volt but on 240 heats up in about 10. Chews through the battery bank though but not a problem when your following the sun. We travelled with 6-7 people though for 2 showers you should be fine.
Awesome video guys loving the upgrades and that game is next level we where in stitches
I know that brilliant video guys. I do look forward to Sundays and watching your videos. Your caravan is looking really good. And don’t worry about your skin, Megan. You always look beautiful to me. Jack is a lucky boy. ❤
Aww thank you for spending your Sunday with us! 🫶🏼
Greaat Vid... One Day......
Know what you mean, we have some land and I love walking around it early morning! Nothing like WA though!! Hopefully me and my family will be back to WA soon! We lived in the vines loved that winter time
Nothing beats a walk around a quiet property hey! I (Megan) have family in the vines, beautiful place!
Great episode guys we are currently in southern WA and loving the sunsets. It is a beautiful part of the country. Myrtle is looking mint ❤
Just because I work in the kitchen cabinet business, I noticed that maybe the sink isn't sealed against the countertop. If you haven't, you need to. Just to prevent mold and in the future causing water damage. From eastern Canada, thanks for sharing
Oh yeah we will be! Technically our bench tops aren't even properly installed yet 😅 still lots to get done aha. Thanks so much for watching!
I have a diesel powered truck heater--I think it cost me about one hundred and forty bucks from Vevor delivered--I bought some diesel fuel contaminated with a small amount of petrol for peanuts, and it works a treat and uses little fuel. It does need 12 volts to run the fans, but it has a closed flame, so there is no risk inside a closed vehicle, and I have set mine to draw air from outside and warm it, so I use a little more fuel than if I recirculated the air inside, by mounting it in a locker vented to the outside via a gauze pest excluder grille and automotive air filter.
Chinese diesel heaters are awesome - we spent $150 on eBay and it hasn’t missed a beat even on below freezing nights in Canberra!!
Get the truck, get the truck, get the truck, lol do it, ❤
Great video!
Keep it up
Thanks Tom! Glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Amazing as always guys 👍👍👍👍
Cheers mate!
You guys and The Outfit are both watching true blue travellers build. It's always good to see content creators talking about each other 😁
Haha we are loving both builds! Getting too much inspo 😆
@@itsJackandMegan and that face mask made me think...."Hello Clarice" 😂😂😂
Peninsula Threads products look really comfy, it was 2 c when I woke up on the Mornington Peninsula this morning. It's a great place to live, lots of beaches some very rugged, to contrasting beaches safe for toddlers. One of many surf beaches, Shorham surf beach often has 40 surfers enjoying the waves. It is busy in summer with tourists. We have nature parks, marine parks and national parks. Bird life is prolific. There is a hot spring, many golf courses and wineries. I hope you can visit here some time Jack and Megan
❤your work guys ..awesome to see👍🇦🇺🍻🍔🍕
Thanks so much for watching! 😁
Great video! Loved the kangaroos. X
Thanks for watching! Always love when the kangaroos come up close to the house 🤍
Loved this one guys, thanks 😀
It's been between -2 and -3 in the mornings here in NW Tassie the past week, big frosts and frozen water pipes every day 😵💫
I reckon Russell Coight was watching this episode and biting his nails while you were putting in that sink, and breathed a sigh of relief when you didn’t stuff it up….he’s still the king of fails 😂. Seriously though…good job, I would hire you!
There’s an American RUclips couple traveling Aus at the moment, One Pack Wanderers…they are super nice just like you. Have you watched them?
Hahah wait until you see Sundays video of all the disasters we've had this week of building, you're going to crack up 😂 but yes very surprised we managed to not make a single mistake cutting into the bench top! Yesss we love all their videos! Great to watch them back in Aus 🙌🏼
Good work on the sink Jack! I'm a Cabinetmaker and have seen many seasoned workers cut the hole wrong and have the sink fall through the benchtop! The hot water system got me looking into electric systems for myself rather than gas now! Megan I'm going to shamelessly plug my friends books I thoroughly recommend - Michael Trant , Wild Dogs and his second one in the series No Trace and he has a third one in the works too! Brilliant books that would also make a good movie or TV series I reckon and it's all based on WA!
The kitchen looks fantastic!
Thank you! So happy with how it’s turning out. The upper cabinet is proving to be a challenge this week but we’ll get there eventually 😅
Jess and John are awesome
True Blue Travellers 💕👍🏽
Love their videos! 🙌🏼
Wot an awesome day to work on Myrtle. Watched ur episode then yot dressed to go into the city of Townsville. No we didn't go to the V8 supercar racing. Looking forward to seeing your next episode guys. Keep up the awesome work
Well done guys - full on day and we really appreciate you 💓 Just a quick one about the corner tap - I really hope yours works out and you love the placement... but for those who are thinking of doing it - my converters installed my van tap on the corner, I actually didn't like how it looked but also it was so annoying to wash dishes. The water kept splashing all over the bench when you held a dish under the tap to wash it. So much mess I ended up getting someone to reposition it on the flat edge.
Loving the van refit though and looking forward to seeing the final look.
Ohh good point! Will be interesting to see how it goes once we’re on the road. Thanks so much for joining us! So keen to get it finished now 😅
Feeling for you with the cold out there in the bush, its cold enough on the coast, and windy again........
Myrtle is looking great and youre going great guns figuring out how to do everything, I'd be lost no matter how many videos I watched. I had a giggle watching you do a single apple for breakfast Megan. You can stew up a bunch of apples and freeze them in single serve amounts, just pop them in the microwave or store in zip locks and put in some boiling water to thaw and warm them through. Heaps less effort in the long run.
Have you guys seen aurora Australis out your way? Its been visible in the city a few times recently, out on the farm would be a perfect spot to view it, no light pollution.
Great video been watching true blue travellers also those John Guest fittings have clips to hold them in place after hose is in which can be removed
sorry see you have them
We love our Sunday mornings when you drop a new video. Beautiful skyscapes 🌅 Looking forward to the chainsaw video 😂
Haha there's no fighting the need for a chainsaw apparently 😅
More awesomeness.... I'm so excited for you.......
1 more suggestion..... put a check valve on your hot and maybe cold water lines to your shower to minimize temperature fluctuations as the pump kicks on and off. My Nimbl camper didn't have one and it made showers quite interesting especially on cccccccold days!!!!
Or perhaps you're putting a temperature controller in the system to have perfect water temp for Megan????
That was a fun video ❤
Thanks for watching Rory! Glad you enjoyed this one ☺️
Good luck with your John Guest fittings. Some others doing their builds using them have had challenges stopping leaks forming on pressurised situations, particularly if fitted on moving platforms (like vans, or 4WDs).
Don’t forget the weight of all the water in the tank. You may want to to use the brackets and then cover the water tank with some light weight aluminium checker plate
Love your content. Like u loving true blue. Just watched their van build Australia. Thinking of doing a van build now
Great work on myrtle so far. Just a tip, you dont have a "S" trap in caravans. Waiting to see the finished reno
Great video ❤️
So glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰
@@itsJackandMegan i always do! ❤️
Get the water tank protection made from sheet aluminium
quick tip wet a paper towel down then dip it in the fireplace ash itis great for cleaning the fireplace glass it works amazing
Funny looking door big time...
When Megan is making rolled Oats my Grandma and Mum used to make Rolled Oates in the night put Rolled Oats in a pot pour hot water ontop of it the put a pinch of salt put lid on pot leave over night then wake up put milk in mix and cook so creamy the best...if U make milk with powder milk put a pinch of salt in it taste the same normal milk...
U could of gone with a bowl that was copper...seen it done before a round one it wasn't a sink but pot plant holder...think out of the square...
Megan face looks great with those face masks..maybe other half needs one...
That cross is BAD ON MERTYL U hurt her...😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Haha i have just started watching the True Blue guys too, for the same reason as well. Small world.
I am so living this build series and seeing it all comes together. You're doing a great job and can't wait to see it finished, Such a huge accomplishment. You are so inspiring .
I am curious though as to why you didn't add the egg yolk as well as the egg yolk is the most nutrient dense and healthiest part of the egg. So very curious as to why you would leave out the yolk and just have the white 😁
So happy you're enjoying the series Fiona! For the oats we just find it easier to mix in whites without risk of it turning to scrambled eggs, instead it just makes it fluffier with a bit of extra protein 💪🏼
Nice
Hello from Michigan...
Megan about translating Japanese text to English. You can use "Google lens" feature select "translate" tab. Hold your phone over text to be translated. The text will kinda pop into English in highlighted text.
The Google lens should be a "camera" icon on the right side of the search bar beside the "microphone" icon.
Hope this helps 📷
Oh yeah I used the translate app on my iPhone, works so well! 😁 I just meant after translating “take off gently” was a bit vague 🤣
Add another isolation valve for the hot water system and a one way valve on cold side of hot water unit if the hot water fails
Hey Jack Traps are p for plaster and s for soil so out through the ground is an s trap and tgrough a wall is a p trap
Great video guys. Jack, I've been watching the True Blue series too, they're pretty cool. Rather than the trip to Bunnings, maybe you should talk to Ryobi about a Chainsaw skin, I'm sure that they'd hook you up?
You guys have done such a great job, seriously!
Hey, I've been thinking about a dust repression system... What do you think?
Battery chainsaws are great.
Great video. It’s a fantastic farm you live on. How many acres? I also thought, the pump is good for 11 litres a minute and your hot water tank is ten. You’ll mix hot and cold but I’d be quick in the shower lol. I got a continuous hot water unit. Think it was around $300.
Hey. I have a rear bumper i made for our Viscount royal reno back in 2022.. You guys are welcome to take it for your build. No charge. I'm in Greenwood, WA.Advertised on FB marketplace.
Hey mate! Thanks for the offer I think I saw that the other day on FB. But we’re going to keep the one we have for now. Really appreciate the offer though 😃👍
Just so you know Megan, you'll need to upgrade your drivers license WHEN Jack buys the 6x6😂😂.
How do you find the the ergonomics of the sink in the corner, looks a bit like youll be washing dishes sideways??
Safe builds and travels guys 🤙🤙
Haha it definitely seems like it's a case of when and not if 🙃 yeah we can already tell the sink placement is a little awkward but we wanted to keep it as far from the cooktop as possible and not cut into our drawer space so was the best we could do. Hopefully it's not too bad! 🤍
Raptor paint, you dont have to sand it just a nylon brush in the drill. Can even use a roller.
😊😊😊😊😊
you guys should check out The Outfit as they are doing a 6x6 too
Oh yeah we love the outfit! Been watching them since the Jeep days 😄
Also noticed you might want to think of building a frame for your windows to fit fly screens as Australia has lots of bugs
You can get push on fly screens from caravans plus that will possibly fit the window frames? They definitely fitted our 1975 Chesney!
I think you will need to run an exhaust vent for the HWS gas. Also you need to consider a tempering valve on hot water that will go to the shower so you cant scold yourself. If you are going to have a mains water connection to the van you will need a pressure reduction valve, usually 350 kpa, so you dont blow up your pipe work if connected to a high pressure main.
Keep up the good work.
It's a 240/12 volt HWS, not a gas unit. Agree about the tempering valve though
My mistake I thought jack said it was gas as well
That ad had us guessing haha, started out as better help nope ryobi ahh its Ag1... None of those its centrum!
Gotta keep you on your toes 😆
That’s an S trap 🤣
Are you referring to the part under the sink?
@@itsJackandMegan yes, a P trap has a bend then a straight section that goes through wall (less issues with p traps) S trap is S shaped 🤣 like yours.
Spent years working for a plumber
@@itsJackandMegan I hadn’t even watched the rest of video when I commented, I was just excited I knew the answer to something 😂😂😂😂😂
YEAH TRUE BLUE TRAVELERS!!!
The best hey!
Did you get someone to recover your lounge? Love the detail in the back. ❤
We did! We went to Morley Canvas and they supplied the material as well as reupholstering 😊 really happy with it!
Another cool episode guys always look forward to the vlog.
Q - Did you run a mains water inlet after the 12v pump for when you connect a water hose?
Thanks for watching Brendan!! No I didn’t but I will now I knew I had missed something. Cheers mate.
Clamp! 😂
Claaamp 😬 always has to be said in the same way too 🤣
Lovin ur channei, keep the motivation going. Just wondering about the sink..where did the water go when u ran the hot water tap? Hoping u caught it with another bucket or the plug..
Thanks so much for watching! Yep we had the plug down and drained it into a bucket 😅 one leak was enough for us haha
Jack got clickbaited by 3 minutes of aviation channel too? :D
Guyz what area is the farm ur stayin at....looks like an unbelievable place
What general area is your rental property located in? (Looks like up either out York or Toodyay way perhaps)
You are not the "Overland Travellers." Stop messing with my head. Hahah I got you guys confused like I get Harry, Fred, Max and occy mixed up. Somebody help me lol.
@@confuzsays7196 🤣🤣
Cool ep guys
Thanks for watching Craig!
