    So nice of Chrome to lend the shop van to you and also he put the heater in there what are good friend shout out to Chrome thank you for helping Emmy🎉

  • @Keyapennyfox
    @Keyapennyfox หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    As soon as the whole van gets all of that rust removed would it be a good idea to have someone undercoat rust proof spray it before it goes back on the road....so it doesnt happen again as quickly?

    Daryll sounds like a great mechanic, a real treasure. So glad youre getting the rust seriously addressed. Please get a carbon monoxide detector, you can take it back to your place after. They have to be placed at the right height and location to protect you when youre sleeping, the device instructions always explain that. As i recall, CO2 is heavier than our air, so the monitor has to be below the level of your bed, and a bit away. Anything could happen in a vehicle, from an unknown exhaust leak to someone else's vehicle running next to you, plus any gas burning appliance. Love you!

    Hi Emi and Kelly I hope all goes well in this in-between time, and that you get your new-improved home back very soon. I would not complain if you re-started reminding us to like your videos. Sometimes I get so caught up in watching that I forget to click there.

    moral of the story - clean out your wheel wells - it looked like a broken battleship. On a more positive note - good call on the curtains, sometimes it's the little things.

    Hi Emi, if you don't want to look like you have a bad spray tan, just set your white balance higher. You can make the lights white, and skin tones normal. im guessing 6000k or higher might do the trick, but you can test what works best. Good luck, and hope your van turns out good. I'm going to clean my rockers today, thanks for the insight!
