    It's amazing how you guys are growing! happy for you!
    Can't wait to start our own Van Life build in a few months, until then we're building an SUV Camper and will start traveling with it pretty soon!
    Keep sharing! you are an inspiration 🙂

    People, listen up and let me tell you from experience. You absolutely must wear close toed shoes when you are working with wood. Ouchies! Cannot believe the walls are (mostly) up. What a project! Keep the videos coming along. So good.

    Wow Lauren and Jason... the build continues and your work is paying off. Looking good. So many questions..
    1 - what/how did you hold those window frames in place? I didn't see you screw them into anything. They look great.
    2 - plywood resting on the floor or do you have a small gap at the bottom? curious about noise/movement at the floor/wall junction.
    3 - plex water pipe on the driver side back?? the red stuff? assuming this is for routing some future water tank.
    4. - the big window - driver side.. did the van come with that in place? I'd like a window there that would tilt or slide open in that spot.
    Most importantly - Happy Anniversary and have a blast in Italy!! We visited Glacier NP over the long weekend - a must visit for your van some day.

      @@patrickvanderhyde Glacier NP is gorgeous!! So glad you guys got to go, and thank you! We are super excited for our trip. Have been waking up at 4 AM to prepare for the time change 💤
      So I’ll try to answer some of your questions here.
      1. We used the furring strips across the top and bottom of the frame, Gorilla wood glue, and 1 inch brad nails connecting the furring strips to the frame itself.
      2. The plywood for the most part is resting on the floor, but we are going to be tightly securing our floor against it and adding a trim so there shouldn’t be much movement there if any at all.
      3. The red and black chords on the bottom were actually wiring that is going to connect to our car battery (I’m going to ask Jason to elaborate because I’m still learning some of the electrical stuff and don’t want to give the wrong information).
      4. The window didn’t actually come with the van, we installed it ourselves. I genuinely wish I had more footage of this but I did make a TH-cam short you can check out that gives a small run down of it

      @@patrickvanderhyde ok so it’s what I originally thought, the red and black wires are going from the battery to a DC to DC charger which is going to allow us to use the car battery to charge our lithium batteries when the car is running.

    The mailman on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was Mr. McFeely, who was played by David Newell. McFeely was Fred Rogers' middle name, which was taken from his mother's maiden name.

      That's amazing! How in the world do you know all of that-are you a big fan!?
      When that mailman stopped by our house, I thought for sure he was going to come in and pay us a visit but he didn't! Such a bummer.

    Hi guys. Greetings from the UK
    Loving the videos and the way you explain everything in detail.
    Also loving the tattoos.. what donthe 3 interlocking triangles represent (if anything)?

      So happy to have you here and that you're enjoying the journey as much as we are!
      And thank you 😊 The triangles represent me and 2 of my closest friends, we all got matching tattoos representing the 3 women intersecting at different points throughout our lives since high school (with the triangle also representing the divine power of the female).
