Kitchen rebuild! Over the last year I have figured out what changes are needed in my tiny space. In this video you'll watch me tear out my kitchen and rebuild to fit my space and needs.

We are Linnea and Akela. Through the van build, I used my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire.

I was gonna comment the same thing!! I literally laughed so hard when she looked right at me lol!

@beedrew 2 года назад

Lol every time Akela dropped that ball while you were working! She keeps it real. Great video.

@JB-kd5uv 2 года назад

Awesome work! But I can’t lie. Favourite parts of the video have to be Akela tossing the ball at you. What an amazing dog she is - love your relationship with her.

@cetifoxproductions 2 года назад

I laughed SO hard when you just tossed the cutout for your sink, immediately followed by Akela imitating you by shoving the ball on the floor! OMG, that was PRICELESS! From that point on, it was VERY clear that Akela has you well trained.

@Linneaandakela 2 года назад

Ohh she sure does!! Haha

@cetifoxproductions 2 года назад

@@Linneaandakela Our Chiweenie does the same thing...grabs her ball from the basked, runs in and rolls it at me and then growls at me if I don't pick it up and throw soon enough for her. Hilarious. Oh, and -- as always -- enjoying your videos. I don't think I caught what fridge/freezer you were waiting on. We've been looking at adding a 12v fridge to our converted cargo trailer, but with so many choices...ugh. We're limited on power due to still being on a gel hybrid battery (just haven't made the plunge into lithium yet...still so darned expensive)

Her face and antics were priceless!

That was so much fun

@owenparker6651 2 года назад

The ability to be ok with little imperfections in a simple project is a wonderful trait to possess and totally necessary for there to be such a thing as a simple project. Always fun to watch you build!. Thanks for sharing...

@Linneaandakela 2 года назад

I totally agree. Thank you for watching!

@deb_ellen9733 2 года назад

Akela looks at you, looks towards the camera, looks at you, then purposefully rolls her ball off the bed. She’s sooooo cute!!!!

@Java-Junky 2 года назад

This part made me laugh so hard! Akela has such an awesome personality!

@matthewbaynham6286 2 года назад

Akela is so good at hiding his emotions and frustrations when he is just bored and wants to play.

@backspace2esc 2 года назад

OMG I couldn’t stop laughing as Akeelah kept wanting to play ball oh my god that was so cute and so funny

@karenb1627 2 года назад

You're so bad ass. I love that you prioritize function and repurposing over anesthetics. . All little things add up to big change. And the dog, she just wasn't having it. You inspire me!!

@kizer19796 2 месяца назад

i really enjoyed how she kept tossing the ball for you to play with her.

@pattyann7803 2 года назад

Akela cracks me up. She has such a fun personality.

@amandahamilton5145 2 года назад

That ball. ❤️😂 Akela really wanted it to be the star of the show.

@TheDogsBox 2 года назад

Just wanted to comment. Retired carpenter here, my favorite part of that time in my life was taking the dog to work every day. Glad you have Akela to keep your work life balance in check.

@astraltheskoolie 2 года назад

Akela is so darn cute. That is totally how Rogue acts if I'm busy.

@amandachambers8593 2 года назад

My Dachshund Cecil does the same thing, dropping his toys to get me to pay attention to him!!! Gotta love the "dropsies"! That's what we call it!!! 🖤

@Uggatip 2 года назад

Excellent job. Function only needs a natural aesthetic; it makes things even more attractive broadening the "smile on the dial." Aussie for the smile on one's face. Thanks again; I look forward to next week.

@karlafultz1172 2 года назад

Linnea, you are so inspiring!! You are such a “doer” and nothing seems to daunt you! I absolutely love watching Akela’s and your adventures. Your videos are captivating and enjoyable and I love the music, the beautiful scenes, and especially your relationship with Akela. She is a treasure!! Thank you for sharing your life with us and wishing you safety and more moments of wonder for this new year. ❤️

@carls4552 2 года назад

Great video Linnea. And it's so nice to hear someone talk about a human diet instead of an herbivore diet.

@kimpeasester 2 года назад

I couldnt stop laughing over the ball dropping. Great job! Youre so talented and skilled and not afraid to take on any challenges. You're an inspiration for other women!

@ErikJohnson2020 2 года назад

Linnea, you're a goddamn badass. There are about a million excuses I tell myself as to why I can't do something, or why the conditions aren't good enough, and in the meantime you've already rebuilt your entire kitchen.

@kaikito2348 2 года назад

Even at 3 am I can appreciate how accomplished you are. You did an amazing job - despite the best efforts of Akela to demolish the kitchen with a ball.

@raymondmarazas4059 2 года назад

Couldn't sleep last night, saw this vlog and woke up the wife from laughing too loud. I have to say Akela stole the show. Both of you are amazing. ❤

@NesKimStyle 2 года назад

Akela throwing the ball… So funny … meanwhile you look pretty stylish in your work clothes

@shellreinhart2632 2 года назад

@kiefferkeepinon828 2 года назад

🤣😂🤣 Akela looking at the camera RIGHT after you left...You could almost hear her say: "Watch this! 😁" I'm still giggling...

@TheEscapeShroomPerspective 2 года назад

The random ball drops were hilarious!! Kitchen looks good!

@jackiegammon2065 2 года назад

Another fan of watching Akela pop the ball down to you while you were working! HA! Van s looking great, thanks for sharing!

@susanscovill6817 2 года назад

I hope you amaze yourself as much as you do us. VanLifers seem to get better with space allocation as time progresses. Chrome always advised to live in it because that’s how you’re going to figure out what you need for your lifestyle. A freezer in the garage is in my van build design. I can pull what I want and defrost in the fridge. Akela really has you trained and I think she accomplished her goal. She got your attention every time. You’re a good mum. Arizona? I’m in. Let’s go! Cheers from Canader eh!

@lisafriend3923 2 года назад

I do love watching you when you build! I think you’re amazing. Your upbeat personality and smile is the best. Keep up the adventures and bringing us along. Aklea was hilarious during the rebuild, I just love her!

@dellazoe 2 года назад

Love the new build! Akela's face when you walked away after asking her not to keep dropping the ball was priceless. She looked right into the camera, waited until you were close to coming into the van again and rolled the ball off the bed! Cracked me up! Your build skills keep getting better and better - you are inspiring! Enjoy AZ!

@David_11111 2 года назад

Just loved this... ok you might not be the best carpenter in the world, :) but it just shows how much you can improve your van with very little tools and lots of determination. Akela help so much with her ball.... Laughed so much at the ball drop section :) The edge banding trick with the block to cool the glue as you pressed it in place needs highlighting you have skills :) x.

@teslah2997 2 года назад

@Phenom157 2 года назад

Linnea, you are amazing! Is there anything you can't do? You take on the world with a confidence I truly admire. My van is coming along but when I get stumped, I sit back, examine the situation and think "what would Linnea do?".

@ncwomanparker1708 2 года назад

LOL I swear it must be a German Shepherd thing about tossing a ball at you especially when you are busy. My Sasha does the same thing to me. Love your videos, keep them coming!

@buffalo068 2 года назад

Hi Linnea ! I like the way you are practical and functionality is more important than looks . ( example : wood grain going different way ,saving wood )… You say anybody can do what you do but it seems you have had a lot of experience with your father and then your brothers . Anyway , it is so cool that you can build , maintain and repair your van . I have no tools or experience . It seems overwhelming , we will have our van converted by others ..maybe do some stuff.. I mentioned a story about my white german shepherd , Wolfgang , who has passed . Akela looks just like him . I also mentioned how he loved his tennis ball . When she kept dropping her ball to play , it warmed my heart , reminded me of him . Thank you :)

@Linneaandakela 2 года назад

Hi! Thank you, yes I usually go the more “functional” route and I never regret it :) I actually haven’t had much experience at all with my family as far as building goes. I knew how to use a drill and that’s about it. I spent hundred of hours on RU-vid learning and even more time leaving into the discomfort of trying new skills, tools, and making mistakes. I can assure you, it was VERY overwhelming for me at times! I hope you have a great time with your van conversion whatever you decide to do yourself! Lastly, thank you for sharing about Wolfgang ♥️
