Baby boy is a handsome fella. 😍💖😊
Awwwww thank you. He is a handful😊 Thank you for watching.
I’m here for the journey and to witness the transformation 😂. Van builds videos are my favorite to watch.
I KNOW😆. I have been sooo hooked on watching them. I just had to start.
Mine too, I like this because its real life...
Are you planning on camping a lot? Just curious because you could buy a pop-up camper for cheap. Granted pulling one across country would be a pain, but to have a kitchen, 2 full beds, and able to stand up is good. Pop ups are usually under 2k in weight, and your van should be adequate.
@ToddSt Yes. I am planning on camping a lot. I hate to say it but I don't know what a pop up camper is🤔. Kinda sounds like something I would do with hubby especially if it requires a lot of manueving.
I learned about u from ur brother excited to be following u
Girl the ocd i understand COMPLETELY. Im the same way. Wood will add alot of weight but if u gonna paint it white, i would just use something lighter if its gonna be covered by paint anyways. Excited to see how it comes along
😆...the ocd!! Yes, I try hard to just leave it alone. Using something light is an option too. I don't know what though.
Beautiful Family!!! Van looks amazing!!!
Thank you😊
Cute kiddos 🥰 Can’t wait to see your adventures..you’re a blessed lady!
Awwww....thank you. Big Thanks for watching. I can not wait to begin these adventures.
Heck yeah girl! That's a great idea
😊😊😊
@@rouseyournicholls we subbed 🇨🇦🐶🤠🐶
@MaritimeUnprepared THANK YOU😊😊
Basque in the grass youngin'😊
😊😊😊yes please
Once suggestion, I would say when you start looking for like cabinets and things, please go to one of the restores or habitat. I made the biggest mistake when building my van by buying all brand new cabinets. The cabinets were so cheaply built, and they were falling apart a lot of money .
Ok good info!! I probably would have been looking for new cabinets...smh.
I’d do a “no build”, when I got my van, I put a mattress in it and started to live in it, figuring out what I needed as I went along.
I think that is what I may end up doing because summer break for me is coming up fast. There is no way I will be finished by July. Thanks for sharing.
It’s coming along. I got a lot of wood from Lowe’s. They have bin where you get wood on a discount.
Thank you for that information. I am going to look for that wood soon. I need all the discounts I can get❤️
The wood is not really necessary, plus it will take away some space. Unless you're gonna put extra insulation under it (Which I do suggest bc it's not good about sound reduction) I had an 09 Honda odyssey I stayed in for about 3 years. If you're just wanting the wood aesthetic though, you could go the cheaper route and get the wood grain look planks or click lock or even the vinyl that resembles the cedar
Oh...vinyl is definitely an idea instead of wood. Big thanks for that.
Just Like family home videos 😅
🤣🤣🤣😂 You are soooo right!! I didn't even think about that. Thank you for watching.
😅😅😅😅😅 Your baby getting some Vitamin D.
😆😆🤣🤣He is something else. He is stopping my progress with clean this van is what he is doing 🤣
Hi Gwen, girl youtube unsubscribed me. I wasn't getting your vid. I am back 😂
Awwwwww.....thank you for coming back❤️❤️❤️ Many Blessings to you.
I've seen countless van builds and I noticed on the cedar planks they use linseed oil or the leave the wood in its raw form ( it's like an insect repellent, wards bugs away in raw form ) with the linseed oil they just apply it with a soft clean rag ✌️🫶
Ok. Thank you for sharing that❤️. I love insect repellents. That is something I didn't know about cedar.
I am suspecting your van was in a flood. I really enjoy seeing the interaction between you and your kids. I love Krud Cutter for stubborn stains. (careful, it will strip paint) Are you considering driving your kids around without seat belts? Or are you planning on traveling alone?
Definitely traveling alone in this build. We will use think of something else when taking the family on outings. Why do you think my van was in a flood??
@@rouseyournicholls The moisture in the recessed area was my first clue, the rust in the van was my second, especially some of those nuts you took off. Also, the bad battery and other issues under the hood.The wires hanging overhead tell me there was an electrical problem, and an effort to solve it. Lots of flood vehicles out there right now.
Oh I see. I think I can explain all of that. Moisture came from repeated spills from my kids for over 7 years. The wire hanging from the top is because we removed the DVD player (which stopped working in back-so yes probably a problem with wires), and the battery uuuummmmI am hoping it's because AutoZone's battery are just very poor quality.
You have the same things on your ceiling as I do. Trying to figure out how to hang a curtain behind front seats. Any ideas?
None at the moment. I am thinking of using a curtain rod that I saw a youtuber do.
Try an old butter knife u don't use or a tiny screw driver
Yes!! Didn't think of that. This is why I need youtube friends😊😊😊 It's the little things❤️ My mindis on soooo many things at once.
Try a toothbrush for the hard to get to grooves.
Good idea!!
she shed? oh ok lol
Yeah!! A she-shed. My little home when I travel alone.
What type of van is this I am looking at van too to travel as a solo traveler For my Shecave it looks very big
It's a 2014 Chrysler Town n Country. I'm guessing a standard size minivan.
@@rouseyournicholls ok thank you so much I really like your channel someone else like trying to do the same thing gives me hope and confidence to venture out into vanlife after rising kids I think it’s my time now to travel and see things
Do it!!! I gained inspiration from watching sooo many vanlifers and wondering why I just won't begin. I think for me, this car accident was just the catalyst I needed, unfortunately. Life is too short....I said to myself do it now or have regrets later.
@@rouseyournicholls Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏 right now we don’t have any more time to say I am going to it in the next year or 2 and the coming of the lord is near so what ever we are doing Put Jesus Christ in it Have A Blessed day and thank you again
@ann-marie8235 AMEN TO THAT. I agree
