Regarding the air conditioning of your closet-studio, doors are cheap - you may consider storing the current door, and just making a hole in it as needed (exhaust fan up, maybe 2-3 silent PC fans next to each other pushing the hot air out, and an intake hole down?). When it's time to leave the apartment, just put the door back. In Canada, a few years back I bought a sound-proof door for like ~$150 from a shop specialized in doors. If storage space is an issue, just verify first that you can get a door - and once confirmed, just make a hole into the existing door. When it's time, get a new door.
I used to love your videos when you were in the camp, but now I think it’s gonna be even crazier with what you have for a workshop and you’re gonna have really cool projects to do looking forward
What you will realize AFTER you have been in your HOME is that when you drive the van even to the store is that you COULD just keep driving, you could go anywhere and be at home, survive, vacation etc. Then every turn is freedom and going back home is EXTRA Special and a CHOICE.
Good job being flexible. One of the best pieces of marriage advice I ever received (which works great for life in general as well) is: "Everyone has a picture in their mind of what they think their life should be, but life never goes the way you plan. So you can either tear up your life to make it match the picture in your mind, or you can tear up the picture and enjoy your life as it happens."
I'm sure that a lot of van lifer are like you. A big part of van life is the satisfaction of building the van. We all continue to want that satisfaction of seeing something we are proud of building. Good thing is that most of us that enjoy your road experiences will enjoy your building experiences as well. Go for it!
We did a Skokie build in 2019 and hit the road for ‘at least a year’ in Feb 2020. We were 4 months in and realized a year wasn’t going to be enough. We are still in the skoolie and have completed 4 full years of #buslife. We plan to go back home (we have a little house and rented it while we traveled) in the spring (2025) for a total of 5 years. I got back into art after 20 years in the winter of 20/21. I think that did a lot to give my life purpose while traveling. I do art as my hobby and hope to make a go of selling my art soon. Having a hobby you can do on the road is important. But I don’t think I would have ever unlocked that again in myself had it not been for bus life. We (husband and I) have done a lot of soul searching, and thinking and realizing what is most important to us and what we can let go of in life. But now I am thinking longingly of a studio space I can work in and as much as I love traveling and seeing new places, it’s time to go home. I do plan to build another, smaller rig for shorter trips because the travel bug has bitten us hard and I can’t imagine not doing this regularly from now on. But you either have to have something to do on the road or you have to travel more to continue to feed the ‘see new things’ hole to feel like you are doing something. I find many people travel a lot faster than we do and burn out faster doing it. Travel is exhausting. Yes, it’s amazing, but it’s also super tiring. We try to stay in places for a week or more whenever we can so we can rest and recharge and enjoy a place. And it often still doesn’t feel like enough time. Full time travel is a tricky business, but it’s worth trying at least once.
You know what? No shame in coming home. You two are young and did this at the right time. You tried, you succeeded for 8 months now you can take that off your bucket list and start your next adventure and we will follow your dreams. ❤
Would suggest using a couple of transmission coolers(or radiators) and a room aircondtioner. Just plumb couple of flex pvc lines to feed the radiators with a water pump(and a small insulated water cooler acting as a reservoir). The remote radiator can be placed on a window sill or exhast vent to get the heat out. Could be a cool project in itself(esp. Identifying the right a/c with appropriate btu capacity and form factor). Could also do a split a/c, but may not be portable. Look forward to more fun projects.❤👍
I respect the heck out of this! Fulfilment is everything, so I am glad you both agreed to plant roots in Vancouver! Keep the creative juices going guys, loving the videos and can't wait for some BC content!
The thing is yall can still do a month here and there whenever you want but there is no better way to relax than by going home and even though a van is nice "especially yours" its not as safe and your always a tiny bit on edge which never lets you fully let go.
Feel ya. I love traveling but also love coming home to my workshop and 3D printers. I get ideas and field test while traveling but then love to come home and make in a proper workshop. 50% travel / 50% home base feels interesting to me.
Yeah the door is so finicky lol, I'm bi and was pretty stressed out about getting out of the closet, then I found out my dad was bi. I'm lucky to have my dad and he has managed to be supportive and really funny about it at the same time. I realize this is really long and you might not see it anyway, but if you read this all, thank you.
Van life is fun because it gives you lots of freedom and it takes you wherever you want to go. I wish I was out there somewhere in the USA in a van, but I'm still considering the idea of becoming a Gypsy,Tinker, Nomad whatever you may call it. I'm saving for a cargo minivan which I will convert into my living space when I'm ready to retire in 10 years from now.
I mean, if you've been to Halifax, Quebec city, Ottawa, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Calgary, or Edmonton, then you'll know what a ridiculous statement that is!
FYI: heat pump is a game changer... super cheap to run, and keeps the space a really nice constant temp. They are spendy, but worth it... Suppose it's probably not an option in an apartment though...
Saw your van the last 2 days in Orange Beach as I was heading to work... Found y'all and now I'm jealous! Enjoy our area! It's amazing. So many places to visit. Holler if you want some ideas!
This video hits feeling, i think the best solution is to "able to be flexible which change country where thing are affordable". Can have both stationary and van life once every month or anytime you want to hit road sounds ideal. Biggest problem would be money also , maybe bigger van help? Or a van that can increase in size. By the way, your video really comforting and Proud of the 8month journey !!! ❤Great job. If you can live in different country where thing are cheaper maybe it would suit both your lifestyle more ? The cost of living in some country are very affordable and more flexible probably. But i dont know how one can living in other country like by Visa stuff thing. Not sure if its gonna be complicate.
What a whirlwind! I just found you guys a few days ago. Left Toronto, same here! Want to do some traveling via van, same again. Sucker for your pets, yes. Make stuff even when you have to improvise, yes! And now you changed directions, good for you! The videos gave me whiplash 😅
That hack space is a really cool idea! I wonder if my city would need one of those! I love your little apartment. It's perfect as a home base! It is great that you two were honest and wise about your future. Rock on!
Best...Great you went for it, and used all your very handy skills for the van, and listening to what is right for you while keeping the van and getting shop access. I'm starting with a minivan with slow DIY but daily driver that fits in the garage, to see if I like the basics before considering a stand-up cargo van build for full time use and giving up the home (not too handy).
That is the longest honeymoon ever. I hope you Four (Penny ,Abby ) are very happy in the new place. Might I suggest your next vacation? You might like Tennesse water fall loop. Lots of hiking and some lovely spots to explore. Smokey Mountain is nice, and you might see a few black bears. My family and I still enjoy your videos. God bless you guys and your home.
Don't be afraid of edge banding - you can make the edges buttery smooth by using a router to trim the excess and then giving it a quick swipe with a sheet of high grit sandpaper. Have fun!
I was worried that you were gonna sell the van, but I'm glad you decided to keep it! It's become somewhat of a character/mascot; not sure how to explain it.
van life to Van life! On a side note, I hope Vancouver Hack space is chill with the advertisement. I feel like it can be a bit disruptive if there’s a big sudden inflow of flaky members
You're going to love Vancouver. I lived there for nine years before moving to Winnipeg to live with my Girlfriend and her kids. The Basic on Davie Street is a great place for breakfast. And Thida further up Davie has some of the best Thai food in the city. Their green curry is the bomb. And watching the sun set at sunset beach is the absolute best!
@@MorleyKert my pleasure. Great time to be in the Van. I would try to see the celebration of lights if you can, and don't mind large crouds. Starts this Saturday. Three nights of amazing fireworks down at English Bay
Yaaaaaay!!! welcome to Vancouver,BC !! I am from just around surrey hoping to bump with you when u’re around the city or in surrey if ever you’ll get to visit 😅😅❤❤take care!!
That's so funny. I have the opposite experience after living in a van, I intended to spend 2 days in a camper van I built, 2 days turned into 8 months lol. I am building another van
Can't wait to see the A/C under the door. I made a 'funnel' to remedy this same type of situation about 10 years ago out of cardboard and PC fans. It worked amazing.
I did the same thing with a window which could only be opened slightly (because we were on the ground floor in a dodgy area) to channel the heat from the portable AC to the outside. 3D printed a customized funnel that worked really well - and which coincidentally convinced my famliy that the 3D printer was more than just an expensive toy. 😅
8 months, or sooner, is usually when people quit. I sometimes wish to quit but we are't yet in that better position. We started van life to get away from high rent and rent just keeps going up.
I am just below you in Washington and come the Vancouver bc pretty often. Also the air conditioned office/closet idea through the bottom of the door leads me with some concerns for you. You need to measure how wide the gap is for each side of the door when it is closed and fully opened so that you don’t run into issues with clearance.
Congrats on starting your next phase! Even if just printing PLA, you don't want to be in that tiny room while printing, unless you create some kind of serious ventilation system. But especially if using ASA or ABS for anything. I hope the channel grows quickly enough that by this time next year you can get a bigger place. I am assuming you will get used to the studio apartment by then and it may not feel so big anymore. I got very close to switching to van life a few times, but I have a feeling that I would not have liked needing to be constantly on the move. It's great you got to try it out as long as you did.
Hi Pretty People. I'm writing to you from Brazil. I'm Italian & I'53. My first contact with VanLife was in Italy in 1994. Arguing with my parents & reading "Into The Wild " (The Book) I decided to park my car next to the university & sleep there. I didn't have in that time information & the equipment to keep myself in that condition, so I had to turn back home. Since then, I have understood that my freedom wasn't negotiable. At 27, I left Italy to the Middle East, then Cuba, then States & Since 2005, here Brazil. Right now, I'm building my first DIY stealth motorhome, covering South America. In 2027, I'm going to build the second in Italy, covering Europe. In 2028 the 3rd in the States for the Olympics. I got retired from my work. Now, I want to enjoy my passion completely upside-down. For my experience & travelling so much something says to me that This Extreme Passion can become even a business. As I said. I started at 22 years old in 1994. Exactly when I got in touch with the Internet for the first time inside the university. Greetings from Brazil
I missed the woodworking and being a maker. I'm a subscriber and I was seeing your channel through but it did bum me out that the channel changed so drastically. Glad to see you back.

Same here
Major respect for totally going for it, then finding out you both needed more from life, and landing in a position better than before!
8 months is pretty good, most don’t make it 4 weeks.
Yeah i think uprooting your life for 8 months doesnt count as a failure /quitting
"most" = ppl van lifing for fun and not out of necessity lmao
Read this with them shouting that they're pregnant and was confused for a sec 😂
i made it up until "I have to shit in a bucket" came to mind. Yeah imma enjoy my house lol

THANKS for saving me the trouble of finding out why they quit. Didn't even watch the vid. This is awesome and time saving!
Hey, look on the bright side. Now you have a nice working RV that you know you'll like and can use.

I lived in VANCOUVER for three years and I loved it! It is such a great city!
Full circle! I watched your van videos before and just now happened on your channel looking for how to design plant pots. So neat!
I respect the heck out of this! Fulfilment is everything, so I am glad you both agreed to plant roots in Vancouver! Keep the creative juices going guys, loving the videos and can't wait for some BC content!
The sound is really fantastic! You are a bit of a genius!, Congratulations from Ecuador!,,
High expectations low rewards. Don’t do it for others, do it for yourself.

You should print an upright stand for the AMS, it saves like 40% of the footprint.
I'm in TN. I was very amused when you said how hot it gets in Toronto.
You made the exact desk I have, bought in TKMaxx for £50 (on sale from £200 as one of the legs was damaged)
I have a flexispot - really love it!
So instead of travelling for a year anywhere in America - you wanted to work!!! You guys are crazy!
BC is the best place in Canada by far. You'll most likely stay forever. Enjoy!

It think I might live in a van when I’m am older it sounds fun😢❤
Baja California is California, just as South Dakota is Dakota. Baja is “lower”. The US state of California is just Alta (“upper”) California.
I believe, van life. help your soul searching, what you want. maybe if you want to go back anytime you want in van life, it free😇
This is a little off-topic, but…did you go to New Orleans during Mardi Gras?

Hahaha I haven’t gamed in forever but maybe I need to start again
You're a man of ideas and ideas require space and right condition for develop. Good luck for your future projects man!
Dude, great video. But you gotta get Gridfinity up in those desk drawers. It'll change your life.
You had a great adventure.
Love you’re vids
Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure with us 🔥
It was delightful living vicariously through y'all with van life! The hybrid setup seems ideal. Here's to the next chapter in your lives!
In a nutshell.. Vanlife isn't really for extroverts perhaps
Can’t wait to see all the new projects you’ll have coming. Love from New Hampshire keep killing it guys!!!!
I’m from New Hampshire!
12:30 "I know this room looks terrible right now" - me, a tech hoarder, dies a little thinking of the state of my office/lab.
No surprise here. When I saw the two printers in the van, I knew that it was just a matter of very short time before you found a proper home.
as expected 😂😂 not surprised at all .
I am just below you in Washington and come the Vancouver bc pretty often. Also the air conditioned office/closet idea through the bottom of the door leads me with some concerns for you.
You need to measure how wide the gap is for each side of the door when it is closed and fully opened so that you don’t run into issues with clearance.
Congrats on starting your next phase!
Even if just printing PLA, you don't want to be in that tiny room while printing, unless you create some kind of serious ventilation system. But especially if using ASA or ABS for anything.

is enough ventilation in that closet for the 3D printer?
The van life segment was great and I’m sure this new adventure is going to inspire a whole new kind of creativity.
i also have a custom ram promaster with the same panels, roof fan, rack, and table lol.

Hi Pretty People. I'm writing to you from Brazil. I'm Italian & I'53. My first contact with VanLife was in Italy in 1994.

I completely get your decision and can totally relate. Best of luck!
I sometimes call my smartphone a telephone too.
you can print a edge bander on maker world or printerbales tools section
That’s fine! Good idea to keep your van, you”, never be homeless then.
Sell that pattern of the chair to a company. It be great for kids play grounds.
Should've moved to Nelson ;) Welcome back!
