We are just some average people wandering around in our little more than average van! We had a dream about traveling and living in a small space, then we put our dreams into action and are now living it! Speaking of putting our dreams into action, we recently took on lofty goals of starting to run ultramarathons, to test our physical limits, as well as finding the cabin of our dreams! Come join us as we take on training and cabin projects!
Great video! To the point with lots of great information. I'm looking for a solar shower system and was thinking about the Nemo, but I would not be happy with the downsides. Did you find something better?
Thank you for watching! We still continue to use the Nemo today, it is still not our favorite but we just have learned to live with it and get our moneys worth haha but I think if we would change it up, we would just go with a cheap solar shower bag you can hang up. Low commitment and cost!
Looks great, as someone else mentioned already, encase you are unaware make sure you drop a chimney cleaning brush down from above one to 2 times a year. Depending on how often you use it. Burning damp or unseasoned wood will cause a build up faster then if you only burn clean fully dried season wood. Many a house fire has happened from not doing a regular check on the chimney. Fireplace came up excellent, nice work. I was taught by a old lady to just clean my fireplace glass with a damp cloth dipped in the wood ash. It helps buff the black off the glass very easy 😊 Thanks for the video ❤
That porch could have its own mini series 😂 The white trim looks great. I always think, if you can't see the paint problems from a distance they're nothing to worry about 😅
It might make you feel better to know that we all get negative comments. Some people are just downright hateful. I used to defend myself but these days I just hide them from my channel. Life is too short to tolerate that nonsense. It's not you, it's them. I much prefer people who keep it real and show that they are human like the rest of us. The negative people are sitting in their chairs doing nothing. WE are all at least trying. Love that green. - Cheri'
Thank you Cheri! I just subscribed to your channel, you guys have a lot of great info, so I look forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you so much for your support!
You are doing a great job, the heck with the negative nellies. The guest room after you add the furniture and decor it will be very homey. I personally like flaws so I can say that I DID THAT and its just what I was going for - the rustic look.
💯 You both and mom are doing a great job. If you look at the big picture it is overwhelming. But once you get each project done it all comes together. Attaboy to each of you. 🎉🪂🧚
You are so right! We definitely have to just keep looking at the small wins and learn to give ourselves more grace with each project! Thank you for your support and kind words 🩵
Always give yourself an "A" for effort!!! The somewhat blue gray might be the perfect background color for your artsy accent wall. Thanks for keeping it real. I love that shade of green. I remember Bryce making cardboard patterns, maybe that would have helped the screen porch situation. The art of pattern making is often a challenge.
Thank you for all your help that week! I would be way behind without you there 😂 ooo maybe Bryce could make some more cardboard cut outs, channel his childhood crafty skills!
You guys are doing a great job! You are not afraid to try something new. There are way too many people that don’t have the skills or the mindset to renovate their home. Whenever we try new things, it’s a learning experience. Ideas change and evolve over time. Just keep moving forward. There will be failures, but many successes will take their place. Love watching both of your creativity and drive to accomplish this yourselves. I’m a woman in my late 50s, we bought our forever home that was in dire need of repair. Never renovated in my life but between books and RU-vid, our home is becoming exactly what we envisioned, our cabin in the mountains. We took a horrible infested attic and now it’s a beautiful loft. I’m now custom building our cabinetry. Out with old in with the new
Wow YOU are an inspiration! That is so awesome you dove right in there and made something into a beautiful home. That is a good reminder that ideas do change and evolve and with failure is success. Thank you so much for your advice and kind words and continued support it means so much to us! We wish you the best on of luck on your next projects!! 🩵
We are not born knowing...everyone must learn. Put your bottom board on then put you angled board up and you can mark the angle directly from the angel. You are a great example for us
With the screen door saga. Try nailing a piece of rubber tire or flat rubber to the outside swing side of the screen door, Closed willl seal when closed and outsideoe of the door. Onward!
I love watching you guys and the realness. It's exactly how I would have done it. One step at a time, try not to beat yourselves up so much. Progress is still progress ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Giving ourselves grace with things is something that we continue to work on but you are absolutely right, progress is progress we will keep that in our minds for the next projects! 🩵
I think the green you have is perfect in the guest room. I appreciate the honesty of your video's. I enjoy watching real people, real life. You both are doing a wonderful job and I love watching your video's. Keep up the good work. Maybe later on do the one wall as a accent wall. Play around with it in your minds. Pick what you love and not what you think others want.
Tank you for that sound advice, I think being able to just sit with an idea is great, so we can curate it to what we want, even if it takes a few tries! I also agree to stick to what we like and not others like, thank you so much for your support 🩵
Keep doing EXACTLY what you have been doing with your channel. I appreciate the realness, & I find it helpful and refreshing to see mistakes and problem solving, and also deciding when to scrap an idea & go another route when you feel that it is necessary. I also enjoy seeing the entire thought process and the learning curves as you go.. I like the authenticity of your channel. I wud not change a thing in how you both tackle your projects. You are both hard working individuals, and you both inspire me! Love what you are doing!! ❤
Thank you so much, you have no idea what these words mean to us, I screenshotted this so we can refer back to it when we feel like we are not doing good enough. All we can do is be ourselves (we are terrible actors if we tried to be something other than ourselves 😅😂) we can’t thank you enough for your support on our channel and its viewers like you that make this whole process worth it, we can’t wait to see you on the next one 🩵
