Building a Van In A Thunderstorm - Do NOT Try The "Tarp" Technique

In episode 22 of our Van Build Series 2.0, we continue making progress on the van. Our deadline to finish the van is August 1st, so we're hoping to make progress every single day which includes rainy days. Unfortunately, we do not have a big pole barn on some enclosure for the van, so we have to work within the elements. We thought about using a tarp, but it didn't go as planned.
