    Good morning, Ken! What I like even more than the way this wagon is turning out, is your excitement and enthusiasm for this build! You're truly a blast to watch. Thanks so much for sharing another great video, Brother. Aces on restructuring the deck.👍 Have a great day! God bless.

    Good morning Ken.
    Love hearing you quote the Lords encouragement.
    Zephaniah is such an encouraging quote.
    Your story about you and your brother made me smile. Glad you decided on only two bundles to carry. My old injuries like to remind me that they haven’t forgotten how to hurt.
    I’m glad you got that rubber roofing up without injury. I hope.
    I worry sometimes about you all by yourself out there.
    I have to do things by myself all the time. But I have good friends willing to help me when I need them.
    Love the new deck. Looks great!
    Can’t wait for the reveal on the colors from Lauren and your wife.
    I just went to England and Scotland with my daughter Lauren. We had such an awesome time!! I love the accents too.
    Have a blessed rest of your day.
    I’m in California, my cat woke me up early at 4. 😶. Thanks for a good video.

    Good morning KENSTEAD, thats your cool name KEN.
    We had tues 5pm RAIN Thunderstorm.
    Wind 76mph.
    I was trying to get in my home and the wind put me on my brick wall while I tried to open my door. Thank GOD, it was only a few seconds. I have 2 hip bruises. L.O.L.
    It blew 20 tree branches off in less than 1 minute. The wind was blowing around. Then 30 ft. from this , a hugh tree branch broke off. Blocked the whole road. Just missed a Prime truck.
    Storm was 2 hours. The City came 8pm and cleaned up the street. Woodchiped the hugh branch. Neighbors have messes to clean up. Garden tables and swings blew to neighbors yards. My stuff is still home.
    We walked this morning to look around.
    Detroit got hit harder, 320,000 without power.
    We are a BLESSED PEOPLE. MANY CHRISTIANS PRAYING NEAR ME. AMEN ❤❤❤
    HALLELUJAH
    2 more storms today. I've pray for your area. You have been hit hard with so much flooding.
    PRAISE GOD your home is WELL. GOD BLESS YOU AND SANDY.
    Looking forward to seeing their color choices.
    Looking good.

    Good afternoon from Southern Arizona. I have several channels that I watch on a daily basis. Some of them are farming and homesteading and some are DIY home projects. But I need to tell you can, I don’t think I could go more than three days without seeing one of your videos. The interaction you have with the pup and a little side, and stories that you tell as you go through your projects are so enjoyable. I have actually incorporated a couple of your ideas in a few little projects here at my place. I can’t do anything extensive, being 78 years old and living by myself, but taking things a little bit at a time, I’m able to accomplish quite a bit. Happy thoughts and God’s blessings to you and your family. Stay safe, but have fun too.❤

    Weird, they will sell the rubber for the rubber roofing but they won't sell or tell you what to use to glue it down. I love how you redid the flip-up deck. Rubber is soooo heavy! I bought a rubber mat for my animal's stall and it was super heavy. I almost had a heart attack trying to move it out in the Spring to get washed. Ugh! It looks nice up there. So great, you're dried in and it'll relax and get even better while it lays there. It's nice that you were able to use a piece of the leftover Lauan to scribe the roof profile onto it. Now you can design your gable end on the overhang for the roof. So you traced your facia at 4 inches. I wouldn't mind a little character! Scalloping! That is super cute Ken! Yet another delightful video about the Vargo trailer build! Thanks Ken!

  • @jfrodgers7858
    @jfrodgers7858 Před 16 dny +3

    I imagine not much talk about the adhesive so they don't get sued. Possibly different adhesive depends on the surface you are gluing to, proper preparation, possibly coustic/toxic properties, etc.
    When I did the roofs of GM factories, we used TroCal, rubber membrance. Had a super quick solvent/adhesion process. But that was for doing joints from one TroCal sheet to next TroCal sheet. Bo-chuo gov regulations, even way back then.
    We fastened down the edge flashing, and used the same solvent for TroCal to flashing. We used rocks to hold the rubber sheets down. No adhesives to the surface below.

  • @jerrytalley802
    @jerrytalley802 Před 16 dny +4

    Ken, if you had an rv dealer near you, you could see what they use because some rv’s use the same roofing. You do understand, all the really good glue has been banned by the EPA, and I am guessing part of the problem you are having. I know they have come a long way, but I doubt any latex products will hold a candle to the old stuff that would get you high just opening the can, (like the old, stinky contact cement). I love the earth and surely want to be a good steward, but we have to find a balance it seems. Best wishes on your project. Question; did you ever think about coating it with bed liner? That way you’d be lifting a gallon of coating and a brush, lol. There’s a guy named Dave, channel is Endgame, he builds truck campers from scratch, coats them with bed liner and they’re beautiful.

    HI Ken, looking good thus far. I was really happy to see you address the deck as I was somewhat concerned when you left it in the last video. I'm 300+ lbs so I always tend to overbuild and I know you are trying to keep the weight down but a few more 2x4s isn't going to make much difference. It was the right call and the chains are a great idea.

    I agree with some of the other commenters.
    Legal issues and the day in which we live I think contribute to the lack of detailed information about adhesive and how it works and everything.
    I have noticed that even on cans of other materials the directions are hazy so as to not get cornered by any claim that they may make on a can .
    I'm glad you found a supplier and I hope it works well for you.

    Your experience with purchasing the rubber roofing is yet another example why people need to stop buying things on-line, and go back to "brick-and-mortar" stores. Let the stores figure out what and where to obtain adhesives or whatever is needed. (and your box won't look like the crushed one you got with the roof material inside, that may get damaged on its way to you)

    Good morning Ken,
    Looking at this trailer, it seems pretty flexible. Do you think it should have four stabilizer Jack's to keep it from flexing so much.

    I think the deck steps should fold in half. That way it won’t hang on low

    My suggestion would be green with red trim!*! ❤

    Check out RV stairs as to how the compensate for unlevel ground. They have adjustable feet. Look at Morryde and Lippert.

    Ken, that paint can scallop is incredible. I think you said 1/2 plywood but that looks like 1/4” to me. If I miss heard, forgive me, lol.
