- Time to build out the van ... AGAIN! our problems are going to be solved over the next couple of weeks building out our little home to make it look perfect! And most importantly serve our needs :)
This is a big move for us to take down pieces of our setup that has been serving us for the last 5 years but we need it!
Make sure to ring the bell to be the first to see our new videos 😁

Thanks Kathy!!
I can't believe you only have 7000 subs. You deserve much more! Need to do some collaborations.😉 We like watching you and we're old farts. Safe travels.
I agree, started watching when they were with Snow and Curt and I've enjoyed their off the beaten path adventures.
@bobkatc9368 *Thank you so much* for the sweet words! 😊
@@marlam6681 Hey there, Marla! _So glad_ you've been enjoying the journey with us! 💜🥰
Totally agree I was thinking the same thing. I started watching them when they were with Snow and Curt too and we love their energy and adventures.
I also agree. Ive been watching and subbed for a long time. Lovely couple.
Hi Emily and Danny, I have a suggestion concerning Graham’s hideout…1) Don’t forget to put holes in the bottom of it so his bed airs out also (no mold) and 2) since cats love to have their hideout, why not put a window that he doesn’t see out of but you see in - it could be double duty! Say you use the mirrored version see thru one way, the mirror would be inside so as to fool Graham into thinking noone sees him but if you open the door, voila! You have a mirror and who doesn’t need a mirror in a van. It probably would be a bit more expensive but double duty so it’s win-win!. Isn’t that what all van builders say, everything must be double duty!
I was about to write you should put in a one way mirror as I think Graham needs his secluded area!😅
Hey there, Tracey! 💜
*Oh my gosh*, those are some *fantastic* suggestions for Graham's hideout! 🥰
@@lobeckdr Hey @lobeckdr! 😄 That's such a *thoughtful* suggestion! 💜🥰 Keep those creative thoughts coming!
I thought same - I know when my kitty doesn't want me to see her, SHE DOESN'T WANT ME TO SEE HER. Sometimes kitties just need their private space.
I think edge banding is a detail that many, even professional custom builders either forget or decide not to do. It’s a detail that stands out and really gives cabinetry a clean look. Glad to see you’re doing it.
Wow! Emily did a lot of work on the van.
I told my wife to look at Emily doing all that work, hoping my wife will help me out more.😆😆
It’s so fun to see your enthusiasm on this project! You have learned so many new techniques. Your new home will be great! Love your new videos! We missed them.
Hey Andy! *Thank you so much* for the love and support! 🥰 It's been an incredible journey learning all these new skills, and I'm so glad that comes across in the videos. 💜
Enjoyed this and all your excitement about your new and improved layout. Lol, my kitty was mesmerized the whole time, she watched this whole video with me!😍😻
Doing a great job. Enjoying the journey. Kitty will surely like the new apartment. So far so good your ideals are coming together. 💜
Emily your skin looks so good in the shots inside the van!
That so awesome for you two, looks like your getting a good start. Both of you are quite handy, after all that traveling.
Great job! After I finished my promaster build, I immediately started thinking about what I would change. Ha Ha.
Enjoying your renovation and your enthusiasm
*Thank you so much*
Love this project. Looking forward for more. We’re experiencing a big rainstorm here in the Bayarea California. So watching TH-cam and chores before the work week. Miss the fur babies. Saw a glimpse of Sambrita by the window.
*Thank you so much* for your support
Will Graham have bonds that he can paw closed when he wants to hide? Asking for a friend. 😂
Hey there! 😂 Graham definitely has his cozy spots where he can *paw-sitively* vanish whenever he feels like it 😁
Saw TH-cam where they used some peg board under mattress to keep mold out. Looks like good idea
Do you think that mold is why you were so sick before you came back? Love that your back and safely home.
Good to have you back, I've missed you both. Looking forward to seeing up coming adventures.
Hey there, @jan6626! *Thank you so much* for the warm welcome back! 🥰
You guys are so talented, everything looks great!😍👍
Vent that bed platform!!! :)
Both of you rock the safety glasses. Not everyone looks good in glasses but you two certainly do!
Thanks!
Totally cool amazing! Will be great to see the final assembly. I stripped my little van last year and found mold on the back side of the ceiling. Nevada is cold and wet so waiting for April May to look at disassembly. Your living in the future with your explorer love nest!
Love watching the process and your ideas. Can’t wait to see how it all comes together. You guys are doing great! ☺️
@HillabillyHippie _Thank you so much_ for the love and support!
💜🥰
This is great seeing you guys doing some upgrades. Look forward to seeing it come together !
That was fun nice work guys :-)
Hi Bob
Great Job!
Awesome 👏
💜🥰
It's gonna look like a new van when you're done. How did everything check out mechanically with the guy in Ohio?
Hey guys I've been watching you for a couple of years now I would appreciate if you can put links to the stuff you use thanks see you down the road one day 👍
Love your videos!
Hey Mike! *Thank you so much* for the love!
Hope you like the results of your renovation.😊
Hey Carol! *Thank you so much* for the good vibes! 😊
Nice work.
💜
Love this content! Your renos and upgrades are looking to be SWEET!!!
I especially like seeing how you plan and then how the build actually comes together with this level of detail and explanation --- great work! Even though my Sorento will be much simpler and more rudimentary, I will definitely be able to apply alot of what I'm seeing here.
Truth is, I just learned of the new Westfalia Wave on ProMaster --- at $155 -165K it would be my first choice when I win the lottery, lol. Still, your van-home is looking like a work of art ( in progress, of course ). Thinking of new AT tires? Airbags or adjustable air shocks for the rear suspension?
Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Pocket hole jig was my best friend - as long as it’s 3/4” plywood. And the edge banding does look good. It is an extra step but worth it. I was wondering why you didn’t just use the existing back wall and ceiling for your cabinet? 1x3 strips provide great support for the main walls, but eliminates the weight and cost of the back and top piece. I did my build during COVID and lumber prices were through the roof! Any chance to go lighter is worth it
Have you two ever been to Canada? If not, I have a few suggestions about Western Canada.
We have but I’d love to hear your suggestions. We love Banff and Jasper area and once drove the Cassiar up to Alaska!
How about just bleach and bleach water
Why are you giving lifts to stiletto wearing women ? 😁
Hahaha it was from one bar to another in Atlanta after we met some people 😁
First to find you this morning? ✌️❤️🚐
Hey there! 🥰 *You bet*, you're the early bird catching the worm today! So glad to see you here 🚐
