We've got a million things to finish on this van but there's one big problem, Frankie is still healing from his arm injury. Will we be able to get it all done?

Oh my. gosh, what a hoot- Pocco in the upper bunk... just hanging out watching the baby and chillaxing.

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

He is such a good dog brother. He helps us more then he knows.

@heatherangellight8558 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for helping that precious boy! I am so sorry you feel in overwhelm - just know your daughter is the MOST important in your life over anything else. You’ll never get this time back and shes connecting to you both. Enjoy her when she’s awake - relish it - she’s such a blessing! She feels your happiness and angst so just fill her with feelings or love. Hoping Frank is better soon! ❤

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Heather. We are so glad we had a chance to help. Everly means the world to us and we are always giving her the love and the time. We love to hear it thought cause it is a reminder that she is first for everything now.

@bekimoore8761 7 месяцев назад

That was so great that you went shopping for that 12 year old. You two are so sweet. I love the portable hit tub. I bet that is really helping both of you relax as well as give Frankie some much needed relief.🤗❤️

@FnAVanLife 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much 🤗

@adriannurse1502 7 месяцев назад

I feel for Frank and his pain. My problem is my left shoulder. The doctor says there is no cartilage between my arm bone and my shoulder socket. He says I need a whole shoulder replacement. ☹️ It's hard when you can't use your left arm above shoulder height.

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

omg im so sorry to hear that. That type of pain is no joke. I'm still dealing with mine but I think i have it under control and it is start to get better. I hope you find a solution beyond just replacement.

Buddy we all have those days so don't feel bad ,,My DA was changing out a brake line and forgot twice to put the nut on one side after doing the flange,,3rd time and 3 long brake lines later I got it ,,Merry Christmas to all of you ,,And thanks for allowing us on your life journeys,,!

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

It happens to the best of us right. Just one of those days lol. All that matters is getting the job done. Merry Christmas to you and you family as well. Thank you for watching and sending us some love with this comment.

@SisterSherryDoingStuff 7 месяцев назад

The holiday shopping for 12 year old brought tears to my eyes. I think of all the kids that actually will not get anything due to various reasons and it crushes the heart. Every single kid deserves something special during the holidays. ❣

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

100% agree. It really in wild when you think about it. We are just glad we can help. Really everyone that watching the videos and shares it, helped us be able to do that.

@chrisp7652 7 месяцев назад

Awe Alex. You almost made me cry! Glad to see Frankie back at it. Hope to see you soon!

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Chris P and we will make that happen in Florida.

@karppadiem7014 7 месяцев назад

The view from that hot tub is top notch! ❤❤ Glad that you are staying positive and tackling the projects in the build. It is really starting to come together. I cried right along with you Alex. You will always be giving Everly more things than money can buy - your love and wonderful memories and experiences. ❤

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

That's the plan! The hot tube is a great addition and the view is top notch. We feel luck to be able to sit outside with that view. Now we just have to wait for the rain to stop lol.

@LadyBugout 7 месяцев назад

🙌🏼💃🏻💪🏼 I know it feels so good to knock off all those projects one by one. Glad Frankie found out what was causing the pain and is on the mend.

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

It feels great! Still lots to knock off the list but we are in the home stretch!

Heck yeah!!! we have been putting up videos every week. We hope you keep getting them.

@Chantal_4107 7 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed your experience of helping a 12-year old :) hey Frank, depending on which province you're in, you might be able to see if physical therapist without a medical referral. Even if you just go for one or two visits, you likely can get a probable diagnosis and some recommendations for exercise, braces and therapy to help. Cheaper than seeing a doctor, and you get a lot more bang for your buck.

@FnAVanLife 3 месяца назад

Yes i did and it help so much. Thank you

@SethandJoncee 7 месяцев назад

You all are awesome. Thank you for doing an angel tree kiddo. It is so important. I wish we could come help you! Seth could be Frank's hands (and maybe we could convince the teen to help). He would probably learn a lot from Frank. And I could help with the baby...and our babies could be friends!! ❤ Enjoy the tub!! It looks perfect!

@FnAVanLife 6 месяцев назад

This sounds like a dream situation! Let us know if you're in Ontario come March!! !

A little tape one end of screw so it won't fall off works great

Traveling so no time to watch right now,, just saw the thumbnail and thought to comment on how beautiful Alex looks right now! Frank looks good too, but motherhood looking real good on her 👍 Best days to you all !

@FnAVanLife 6 месяцев назад

@susanlewis1875 7 месяцев назад

It's always wonderful to see you! So who does Everly look like? I can't tell. And don't say Winston Churchill. LOL

@FnAVanLife 3 месяца назад

she looks like both of us i think.

@lightdark00 7 месяцев назад

For that weight holding fold up shelf, I would add a metal bushing/ferrel inside that wood hole used to support the side to help it in the worst case scenario. As for a inflamed tendon, compression is also excellent. It's amazing how much compression items help for many issues with arms and legs. For me it can take muscle recovery down from three to one day. It also helps to wear them while doing the activity that might lead to problems.

@lightdark00 7 месяцев назад

15:59 I'm even more worried now as the weight transfering point is right between that joint, or is only held by the thin sheeting skin. I would surely strengthen the load transfer point down to the base.

@FnAVanLife 3 месяца назад

thank you

@FnAVanLife 3 месяца назад

It held by a wood beam and framing behind that thin sheeting skin. It is very strong. it would have no issue holding over under 400 lbs.

@gertie_a.van.degroot 7 месяцев назад

Sounds like you and Jamie have the same affliction! De Quervain tenosynovitis. Feel better soon Frankie.

@FnAVanLife 6 месяцев назад

@lindasteinbrenner8065 7 месяцев назад

Frankie, I have to commend you on just keeping on even with pain which makes things harder AND keeping up your positive attitude. 😊 So happy it wasn’t more serious! Even though you said those were little projects they made a huge difference! Looks so good! ❤ Aww.. good job Santas! I do that also and I swear I get so much joy from it. I love getting presents for others.🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄 Alex, you are doing so much! Wow.. and little Everly is so loved and nurtured. Of course who could resist her! ❤ Merry Christmas!! And a very Happy New Year!! 🎉🎉

@zh8966 7 месяцев назад

I was just wondering, why did you sold your van that was in working condition for this camper that needs sooo much work . I love you guys and wish that you guys didn’t go through all this crazy work.

@heatherangellight8558 7 месяцев назад

I think they said in one video they’re fixing it up to sell it.

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

lol thank you. But we sold it to make some much needed money. Now we have a battle with this one. We have learned so much from this experience and in the end we hope to brake even on this build and start working on our bus. We also had to sell having the baby coming into our lives. Smarter to sell and build something new for the family to travel together.

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

Yes that is correct. Also we couldn't have a family of three in the last build. Smarter to sell and build something for a family of 3 and a dog.

@myrnaedmisten599 7 месяцев назад

Could you have carpal tunnel in your arms? There are braces that might help. Dr? Hope you feel better…❤❤

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

Thank you I think I found the issue. Ill talk about it in the next video.

@jenniferdavis8088 7 месяцев назад

Your arm pain sounds like neuropathy , I have neuropathy in my legs and feet that I take gabapentin for its the only thing that has helped , it's a very aggravating thing to deal with , I hope you can get some relief soon!

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

That sounds really painful, Jennifer! I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. Frankie is luckily feeling better now that he has been working with the chiropractor. Hopefully by the time we leave Canada he's 100%

@lightdark00 7 месяцев назад

As a bonus that hot-tub doubles as a birthing pool for future baby N! And the basis of a future time machine!

@FnAVanLife 6 месяцев назад

Hahaha I LOVE that idea!!!!

@FnAVanLife 6 месяцев назад

Both of them 🙃

@craigbrowning9448 7 месяцев назад

You know what they say about, "How many folks from Marin County it takes to screw in a Lightbulb?"

@FnAVanLife 6 месяцев назад

How many?? Lol

@lightdark00 7 месяцев назад

That "child" should be almost a 7 foot giant by 18 🤔

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

🤣🤣🤣

@MrM-hl1vp 7 месяцев назад

I've always said, if it's easy, it ain't worth shit.

@FnAVanLife 6 месяцев назад

Well then this RV is worth a LOT of shit lol

@TheCanadianBubba 6 месяцев назад

Way to keep diggin' dad 👍and I was right Alex looks so good ! You all pregnant again already ?

@FnAVanLife 3 месяца назад

no way lol do be saying that lol

@margaretduncan3418 7 месяцев назад

Is the issue with Frankie's thumbs called De Quervains tenosynovitis?

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

What a mouthful! But yes that looks about right. I think they also call it texters thumb

@margaretduncan3418 7 месяцев назад

Be careful with it I had to have surgery for it because I put off treating it

@margaretduncan3418 7 месяцев назад

Wrist surgery is no fun

@denabutz4559 7 месяцев назад

Sounds like a pinched nerve in your neck

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

lucky its not that.

@denabutz4559 7 месяцев назад

Im glad it's not that

@rwilliamsmith1963 7 месяцев назад

Once again have your neck checked out please!!

@rwilliamsmith1963 7 месяцев назад

Posted this before I finished the blog. I am glad your neck is good 😊

@FnAVanLife 3 месяца назад

it wasnt my neck it was my thumb tendons. Thank you though.

@Laura1221 7 месяцев назад

You really should see a doctor about your arms and stop using power tools. You could cause permanent nerve, joint and vascular damage.

@FnAVanLife 7 месяцев назад

I figured out that issue and ill talk about it in the next video. But for now I do try my hardest not to but it is so hard for me to stop. I do know there could be more damage done. Thank you for the advice.

@Laura1221 7 месяцев назад

I made the comment before I finished the whole video. I hope you’ve found the problem. It makes so much sense that using your thumbs to put in that-whatever you call it- lol! - has caused your issue, but maybe just mention Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome to the doc. Good luck! Things are coming along! I could just kiss that sweet baby’s face all day!
