I love your attitude when faced with challenges. No crying or whining - you just figure out how you need to solve problem and just do it! Kudos to you both (and Frank)!
You can always see the love that Allie has for Trent when she’s looking at him with such loving eyes, tells of the deep relationship & security she has with him.
My 11 year old begs me to get a van and ya go live in it she’s watched this channel with me a lot and others and she LOVES the idea I do to and would in a heart beat if I didn’t have to take care of my grandpa...
Brittany House, "... soooo pretty" Kids KNOW these things. I think a lot of that is from Allie's attitude, as much as her physical appearance. So cheerful in conditions and situations that would stress most people into looking ugly even if they normally weren't. ( 3:40 ) ( 5:18 ) That's probably also a requirement for succeeding at living any length of time in such a tiny space, especially with any other person, and a dog. Trent seems to be deserving of her, too. Great couple.
I noticed Trent seems really relaxed and in his groove even in the beginning of this video and you guys seem to really be in symbiosis even more. Your videos are great and I really enjoy them! Thanks for putting them out!
That's one of the best things about some of the DIY stores - cut to size for a minimum or no charge! They started doing that as a carry-over from the old hardware stores where the did that as a help to those who didn't own tools or had the experience! Nicely done Mr Trent & Ms Allie! 🙌🏻
You two are killing me! I am so envious of your youth and vitality! I wish more young people were like you two. So well grounded, and well balanced! Amazing!! Two thumbs up!!
Your attitudes towards each other and projects are an inspiration to all. You both making the journey of life and relationships fun and stress free. Is that just video editing or real life? Frank’s eyes and the coffee moment.priceless.
Trent, for your bench cushion that you find too thick, just have a thinner pad made up instead of making a whole lotta work for yourself adding to your floor or re-doing the bench etc. Also, for your spice rack, re-create it where you indicated on that blank section of wall beside the stove. You could possibly even make it wider. Another suggesstion for miscellaneous 'stuff', in to get hanging mesh bags that you can hang with suction cups or tacs, or 'commander' strips with the hooks. dollar stores are usually pretty good with stuff like that. I enjoy your travels and wonder if I would be as brave if I was your age, living in these times. Your endless patience and sense of adventure and your endless positivity are such admirable qualities. Trent, you are a wizard with the tools, awesome skills to have!! Love Frank, cool dog. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up kids.
I sincerely love your videos and you two. You are an inspiration ... not just in vanning, but in simplicity, working together, fulfillment, ... so many things. It's an awesome reminder to really live life.
We have the same 12 volt fridge and we love ours. It was a good idea to upgrade yours to regulate the temps since the places you travel to are so hot. The only drawback is the freezer compartment is small. We can put a couple of packs of meat and maybe two or three packs of frozen veggies, and that’s it. The whole fridge will hold a weeks worth of food. That works for us, hopefully for you too.
Again you tackle another problem and maintain your positive outlook through the adversity. Just love it! I may try this lifestyle when all else fail...hope my van is as effecient. God bless.
The first thing I thought of for the void you have on top of the fridge was, that is the perfect space for a drawer for your spices! A good fix for the spice rack issues you currently have. Great work, though...looks like hot work 🔥😓
I love how your fiance is 70% confident, but his demeanor to face the task makes it 100%. How funny, you didn't empty the fridge. I love it. We are not alone. My husband and I did stuff like that. Later you will laugh about this, much later. Yall are too cute together.
Great job guys! The van looks awesome! I loved hearing the rain at the end of the video, it made everything seem even more cosy! Love and blessings Jackiex ❤️🔨❤️🚐❤️ xxxx
@@moarsaur In state college... our store was doing OK until Home Depot AND Lowes came in. My dad switched his supplier to ACE but we still could not compete, so he liquidated and retired. Then a Couple years later the local paper wrote an article on how the mom and pop stores were sorely missed due to lack of knowledge and customer service they had VS the big box stores. You know.... you hear it everyday.
Endy, "... mom and pop stores were sorely missed..." All the customers who thought lower prices were all that mattered took the "knowledge and customer service" for granted and didn't miss their water 'til the well went dry. Now they are also coming to understand the "no free lunch" rule. There is a cost to exporting so much of our manufacturing capacity to other countries just to get the lowest unit price. I hope everyone is learning from what is going on and looking at more than just price tags from now on. Too late to help your dad, but at least he got to retire before all the looting and arson going on everywhere these days.
Great job (and the cameo appearance of Frank was nice too). I think my first step when removing the fridge would have been to remove the door. But...I've moved many, many heavy things during our frequent house moves so I have always removed doors, drawers, etc. to make something lighter (especially because the move always seemed to be up at least one flight of stairs, ha). Nice fridge.
Trent, please tell us you put something in to keep stuff from falling behind the fridge from the new shelf above the fridge. I thought I saw charge cables, and I figure they'd have a life expectancy of half a mile before they move to their new permanent home on the floor behind the fridge
I love you guys!! You make me laugh and smile so much, sometimes my face hurts from smiling at your videos!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤗😊☺😍 Your can do easy going attitudes are very uplifting!! Thank you!!! 🤗🤟🤗🤟😊🤟
Ha! I got to be like number 5! I don’t know why that made me happy! Ah.. it’s the lil things! Enjoy your new fridge! We are in the process of looking for a new one for our monster of an RV! Stay safe!! Love from the Pacific Northwest!
The spice rack! I've got an idea….let the cover plate of the cooker tilt to the right, make a support under the piece of countertop and voila, you have extra work space when cooking! The disadvantage is that no one can sit at the moment you cook .... but well .... Trent is still peeling potatoes on the other side ;)
You’re awesome doing all that work on the road. Your positive vibes are always encouraging though! Yeah, I try to keep my inverter off as much as I can so I 12 volt whatever I can. And yay for Frank showing some love for the exx.. wait espresso machine!
You should have put a pull out spice tray/rack where you put your laptops. Easy access. As my chef son says you should practice “mise en place”. Everything in its place. In other words: measure out all ur spices and prep your veggies BEFORE you start cooking.
Don Wolf succeeded Gerberding and opened HWI's (Do It Best)first distribution center outside of Fort Wayne in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Today, there are eight centers located across the US as well as five regional lumber offices. Wolf also launched the Do it center® store design concept, which aimed to modernize the hardware shopping experience with more consumer-friendly colors and signage.
This might have been mention already but in case it wasn't the Do it center is actually part of the Do it best corporation which is a member-owned co-op retail store that is like Home depot and Lowes that has been around since 1945 which makes it older than Home Depot but younger than Lowes. There are thousands of stores in the US around the world.
Marching bands in Panamá start practicing around late August for the independence day parade which is on November 3rd. Police and firemen are usually some of the best and most anticipated ones.
SPICE RACK! Move the hinges on the cupboard over your work surface to the side (maybe a piano hinge? Stronger? Put a rack (wire?) on the inside of the door! There's always a dead space just inside!
Super full of fridge sounds just about right. Words are hard so i know where your coming from Allie. Frank wanted some of that espresso. He is the very best behaved dog and so cute.
Hey guys, I can't believe it. This is the first time I got a notification about the video. I've been subbed since the beginning. Everything was done correctly. Thumbs up, enjoy your new fridge. I got some binge watching to do.
Your fridge probably couldn't work properly because there was no air surculation around. But now you have new fridge haha. I love to change my stuff often. I love you guys.
Great upgrades, congratulations. It was a little concerning as you expressed only 70% confidence in the fridge upgrade tasks, so happy for you everything worked out right, and everything looks great. All that, and you’ve improved functionality with your shelf cubbies too!
Have you thought about relocating your fire extinguisher so that it's a) immediately accessable without opening the closet to get it in an emergency and b) not in the way of the clothes

Allie, don't worry, words are hard sometimes. We still love you!
You two are adorable. The actual cutest.

I absolutely love the chemistry you share together and with the world! You make me smile on a hard day and inspire me!!!
You know what I love about you two is that even in frustration you both keep a good sense of humor. Loved the Frank hair.
Frank sniffing the espresso machine was the cutest thing ever! He says "gib me all da coffee!!!"
As long as there is still room for the coffee maker!
His eyes! Hysterical
@@lindacianchetti3599 right!? His eyes were soooooo big!
Haha- he yearns for coffee like me- haha!!!!
Well done 👍
Frank...priceless!

Ya’ll kicked butt on that reno! Best quote ever, “not even hoping that it’s easy, we’re just hoping that it’s possible.”
The look on Frank’s face when he was smelling the espresso machine is great! Nice video!!
EXXXPRESSSSOOOO machine
Love the look of Frank's eyes during this video

Want to find out if you are truly compatible with someone? Do a project in a tiny space in extreme heat. You two are couple goals.

Super renovation. Stay safe 😘
You go guys! Sharp work😀
Franks mad cow eye while snugged up sniffin' the espresso machine totally cracked me up!
You two are so cute when you're DIY-ing! I'd be cursing and getting in a bad mood, especially in that heat and humidity! Lovely to watch x
Lots of accomplishments, bet you feel better. I always do after I finish a project.
I love how your fiance is 70% confident, but his demeanor to face the task makes it 100%. How funny, you didn't empty the fridge. I love it. We are not alone. My husband and I did stuff like that. Later you will laugh about this, much later. Yall are too cute together.

nice change to better organization for Allie and I am happy Trent is happy!
Just saw that Trent is drinking Fresca, oh we love it! We spent four months in Central America and miss it, and not only Fresca 😁
Funny my dad owned a DoIt Center in Pennsylvania back in the 80's we had everything..... I hated inventory time!!
Was gonna say, there's still a DoIt Center near my hometown in PA - pretty sure they predate Home Depot.

You’re too sweet 😇 thank you
SO GLAD the fridge got removed without a demo!!! LOVE you guys! From a fan in Peru
We’re so glad it fit!! Haha

You guys are so awesome. You just smile and go with it. That is a fabulous quality to have in your outlook. It makes me want to be like that

Those are some nice upgrades for such a short period of time. Nice seeing you all!!
Supercalifragilisticexpialodocious!

Thrilled you guys are happy with the new renovations.

Yay! New and efficient fridge! Good job you two!
You two are ambitious & in another country, WOW!
Great video Renovations are tough on the road but very rewarding instagratification. Good job Trent!!

Team work makes dream work! Go guys....Respect!❤️
😎🤘🏼
Great job!!! Congratulations on your new fridge and reno!!!
Good for you Allie hefting that heavy fridge out of the Van!
You could set the fridge on a piece of wood and get more airflow plus Allie can vacuum up Frank hair out from under the fridge.
Or Trent can vacuum up frank hair.
You guys are so great! Most competent van people I’ve seen ........
Yes!! Hopped on TH-cam at just the right time!!
keep the coil clean on the fridge and it will be more efficient and run colder nice job on the install great team work
I hope you have something on the sides and the back of your new fridge to keep stuff from falling down the side and or behind it,,,, just thinken
Yay!!! It's done :-). Thats got to be a relief having finished and got everything put back. Thanks for sharing, amazing what can be done on the road!

Way to improvise guys! Loved the vid! I vote for the foot locker/step.
Great upgrade and video you guys...and Frank is just priceless smelling your expresso machine! 😂👍💖
You have to go to Discovery Center in Panama City. You will find EVERYTHING!
SPICE RACK!
Move the hinges on the cupboard over your work surface to the side (maybe a piano hinge? Stronger?
Put a rack (wire?) on the inside of the door!
There's always a dead space just inside!
Nice improvement, gives U guys peace of mind on keeping food cold and fresh!

Your fire extinguishers should be by the door. In an emergency, you head for the exit and decide *IF* you can fight the fire.

The Do it Center in not a knock off of home depot, they have been around since 1945, There are in most small towns here in the states.
I just meant the way it looked inside and the orange vests. I’ve seen them in the states befor e
Never heard of a do it center in the US.
I’ve never heard of it either. I looked it up and the closest one to me is 115 miles away lol
@@loubob21 I hadn't either but a google search turned up a bunch in my state. Several are stores I've been to! They are part of the Do It Best franchise(?). It seems these stores are not required to post the Do It Best logo but they use DIB to order their inventory. DIB started out as a wholesaler back in 1945 and probably helped put these mom and pop stores in business
