We've pretty much finished insulating the van now. A small note about spray expanding foam... Now we've been using the
Soudall expanding foam. However Screwfix do their own, slightly cheaper
expanding foam, from the 'No Nonsense' range, so we thought we'd use that for filling the rib channels. Let me tell you, that shit is FULL OF NONSENSE. It expands so much and gets up to no good and needs close adult supervision!! The Soudall stuff sets quickly like a perfectly toasted marshmallow, but the No Nonsense stuff expands and expands and is soggy and wet and a big mess.
We actually needed to form a makeshift 'bib' from plastic bags to contain the nonsense while it dried...
Once it was finally dry and had finished it's expandy-party, the excessive excess was cut off using a bread knife
Now that the insulation is in place, we can screw on the ply we created earlier. This is both glued using
Soudall adhesive foam, and screwed directly to the body of the van using self-drilling screws.
We leave ourselves little notes for things we've realised we've not done, or things we need to remember to do in the future...
We've also sort-of planned where all our 'controls' will be placed...
