Here it is friends: the new adventure we've been dreaming and saving for since we first met 8 years ago. We've always envisioned moving into the woods by the lake and building our dream tiny cabin as a home base for us to come back to in between our international travels. We cannot wait to have a place to call our own!! We are SO close and cannot believe what a whirlwind of a week this has been. Which property do you think we put an offer on and where would YOU love to build a tiny home?!
Fingers crossed we'll have more news to share next Sunday!

Number 1
Kanker♋,l❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
it is so kanker♋,l beautiful😍👌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Who came back to this vlog after the cabin build was finished crazy to see it now
Yes Nov 2023 ❤
I literally cried when Eamon said “I think we’re ready to put in an offer” oh my god! So excited for you guys, good luck!!!
AHHH thank you so much Susan!! We're so excited and nervous!
@@eamonandbec good luck you guys - I'm over here crying too!
Me too! Me and my bf are now moving in to our first own house, and there was a lot of (happy) tears when the big decision to buy was made. Much luck from Finland
Yes I love property hunting fun, exciting and b yes a bit stressful.
Same here 😢
Watching this 2 years later and crying at how much that house you both picked has turned into such an amazing home for you guys 😭 Thank you for posting videos and letting us into your lives ❤
it seems like everybody is transfering from van life to cabin life
Corona makes travel so hard! Time to hunker down for a bit till the storms over.
Elena Parel Another van life just did it about a month ago now.
I noticed that too lol
@@hereiamfornow no proof that the virus exists?? 🙄🤦♀️
Who else?
The one thing I don't like about Eamon and Bec is that I have to wait for their next amazing vlog😂. They always put a smile on my face and they are usually the highlight of my week ☺️
Awe thank you so so much!! Sorry to keep you waiting but these episodes are happening in REAL TIME so we actually have no idea what next Sunday will look like 😂
Eamon & Bec worth the wait!!! ~~Tenerife
Yes!! I think 2x week videos should be a thing...
Hope you guys get exactly everything you want and need! Paradise, indeed! Beautiful properties...3rd, and 1st ones.
Gail Hitson same here. I liked the first and third option!
I literally squealed when he said “i think we are ready to put in an offer” im so happy for you two and I hope it all works out to your benefit 🤞🙏❤️.
Awe thank you so so much Kristy! We appreciate all your love and support 🤗
HAHA same!!
this is so eerily timed up with hannahleedugan's move
Rttt
Rightttt
I was watching one of her other videos and this video was suggested and I was like DID THEY MOVE IN TOGETHER ?!?!
Yeah
i love these people aaaaaa
It’s so emotional watching this again after see them as new parents, crazy how so much can change over 3 years. It’s been such joy to see them living a beautiful life together ❤
Property #3 is clearly the best option given the time of year and how cold it is already. You can clear it out and do a cross removal operation to make it feel more your own-doesn’t seem to need immediate major renovations. But rather than rushing into a purchase, seems too bad you can’t just use your aunt and uncle’s place for the winter or move in temporarily with friends or other relatives. If I lived in Canada instead of California, I would offer! But I have faith in your good sense and good taste. Will look forward to news next week! P.S. I edited a couple of typos and lost your heart stamp--bummer! But happy you read and approved (even with typos).
They could probably stay with family if they really needed/wanted to. They said in the beginning they want something that would be a bit of a project to keep busy. If #'s in Ontario keep rising, they might be in a quarantine state again, and it's nice to have something to keep busy.
@@kimberlyhenry7717 hey becs auntie, want a reno on ur cabin??
Meow from Texas.
When there is a path in the woods or in grass that has been “paved” by people or animals walking on it over and over again it’s called a desire line!
kelsey Brilliant! Love that! Happy Day!
....or a "well-worn path". 😊
Or an established trail.
I'm not sure this is quite right - I've always thought a desire line is when people create their own informal path, as opposed to walking down one which has been created for them, e.g. cutting across a grass verge instead of walking along the pavement.
JMakes Exactly, a path that is paved with gravel or cement would not be a desire line. This one does not have gravel or pavement. It was (I assume) made by years of people and/or animals walking the same trail over and over again. A desire line doesn’t have to be unique to every person walking, it is simply a path created due to the erosion of human or animal foot traffic.
I am so emotional researching this episode. Seeing you both fall in love with this house, not knowing the solace it will bring to you in your next couple of years ❤ Wishing you both & Oso many more peaceful days at the cabin!
Well seasoned cast iron - gorgeously non-stick, repairable, better than Teflon and totally safe!
Agreed, nothing like a good cast iron 👌🏻
So completely correct nothing beats a good seasoned cast iron skillet!!!?
With the pandemic and quarantine, I can definitely understand this! Your entire van life livelihood is on hold. A home will allow you to do both once the borders open! Having a home base of sorts will feel good! Good luck!
Thank you so much Tami! You summarized our thoughts EXACTLY 😊
"Why are we learning algebra but not this"----> I had the same question!
Like... seriously?!? How are we supposed to learn how to do these very scary adult things lol?!
You beat me to it! I have been asking this question ever since I graduated.
Cause that legit changes all the time and algebra doesn’t. Plus learning algebra and just math in general is teaching people how to use logic:) meaning better thinking
Belle Couldn’t have said it better!
I'm American, but the concept of fixed/variable was vaguely introduced IN my algebra class. It was brought up in word problems when we were studying how to calculate accrued interest over time. That's not the same as teaching about the differences directly, though. It seems like things like those could easily be shoved into a week of economics class. (In Texas, a semester of economics is/was required to graduate.)
Also, my question is why aren't parents teaching their kids about it when teaching about finance and money sense? It seems they wait until their adult kids are looking at buying to share their experience and wisdom about how it works. Even then, it's only explained when a question or problem comes up in the middle of the process and not ahead of time.
Yep. "Paved the way" is an expression that doesn't need actual pavement. Just a "way". 🤣👍
The expression is definitely correct but she did say “paved walking trail” so I’m on Eamon’s side in the moment 😅
@@jaclynmccosker Hey you are right! 🤣 I missed that.
I think (maybe) the word they’re looking for is ‘cleared’ as in they’re cleared a trail
I am a 70 year old Grandma and I have just finished binge watching all your videos...wow what an adventure. Obviously I love you guys to bits...I live in a town not too far from Toronto and so I am a fellow Canadian. I am about to check out all of your Chaiwalachai items and maybe shop a bit. What I hate about finishing all the videos is now I have to wait til Sunday. Stay safe and fingers crossed that your offer is accepted. Be safe ❤️
I think they chose the flatter land with only the tiny bunkhouse that was closer to Toronto... Whatever they chose I’m so excited for them!
I liked that one too!
Me too, ask price is horrible tho
"We're gonna try & scramble up some cash... go into debt (we'll figure that out)".... my life in 2 seconds 😅🤦🏼♀️
Haha you know... adulting 101 😂
Same. Our landlady informed us she had promised the apartment to someone else 5 weeks before we were going to renew our lease. We hadn’t planned to buy a house for YEARS. But because rent was about what we’d pay to buy, and the interest rates are so low (we got 2.66%), we knew buying a house would be a lot better, but we’d have to go into debt for the next year or so to do it. Also, we have 6 kids (blended family) and didn’t want to deal with the more uncertain future of renting. We had to put everything on credit cards so we had as much cash as possible. I’m glad we were able to buy but it’s tough.
We are closing now on a property and were going through the same thing! Houses were coming off the market so quick. I was so overwhelemed with it all but we are getting a 2 acre homestead now!
Good luck guys!
It's been about a year since I've seen your content, and I must say the editing, the aesthetic and everything about it is immaculate - the drone shots are such a nice touch! Keep being a positive role model for all us who want to start livin a little more freely ❤
Watching from Florida! Still No power bc of Hurricane Sally but I made sure my phone was charged enough to watch Eamon & Becs new video!! 💗
🙏❤️
This is exactly what we plan to do as a transition from van life to land life! The vacant lot is absolute GOALS.
Sounds like a great plan! We have always dreamed of owning a piece of land somewhere in the woods we just never imagined it would be in 2020 but hey... everything happens for a reason 😆
Eamon & Bec yes!! all bets are OFF for this year! Anything... ANYTHING is possible 😂🥰 very excited for you guys
totally worth it! Last October my fiancee and myself bought our first house on the water. Its a cute little bungalow and we've added some personal touches. Its our own piece of heaven! Enjoy every minute, you guys are going to love it!
Always go for a fixed rate mortgage! No more than 15 years. No more that 25% of your monthly take home pay. I know with you being entrepreneurs this might be a little harder to calculate but this formula makes sure that you’re not buying too much house and it’s a blessing and not a burden.
Sound advice, right on.
30y is actually cheaper if you get a low rate and invest the difference thatva 15y would have cost. I know it sounds like it does not make sense but between return % and inflation effect it does. Learn finance people....
@@kdrguru This is correct. While rates are at all time low, lock in as many years you can. dah! They are taking a big hit on the market topping out right now. They need payments as minimal as possible. Things don't work out, not much of a loss.
Eamons last call literally made me cry....that feeling when you finally make that big decision.....Congrats guys ,am so proud of you..much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ from Africa
Thank you Henry!!! It’s been an emotional roller coaster that’s for sure!!!
I truly appreciate your diversity of music! It draws a bigger audience.
Thanks so much!! We spend so much time looking for new tunes so this is always such a huge compliment 🤗
@@eamonandbec Can you please list what songs are in your videos? Love them all!
@@eamonandbec I love the music too. As someone who is learning the music industry I was wondering about the business side of using the music. I know that UA-cam is strict about copyrights. If you don't mind sharing, what kind of arrangement do you have with the artists?
Word!
What was the name of the song while cooking the potato’s
I 50000% agree this stuff needs to be a class in schools.
I fell in love with your channel last winter~ 3 years ago I sold my van and moved to a farm in the middle of the woods on the south coast of PEI (East Coast Canada) your channel introduced me to other van lifers and it was such fun exploring with you while I was setting up a homestead and art studio while working on winterizing our cottage. Sending you a lotta love, and feel the burn out in this video~ wish you so much good luck and hope this next adventure is absolutely incredible.
When the east coast opens up again, if you are ever looking for a reason to visit PEI I would love to host you!
Good luck on the offer, on navigating a mortage and all the stuff we do not learn in shool.. those feelings resonate SO much!
I love how compassionate Eamon is to animals ☺️
I love that Eamon stopped because he thought there was an animal in need! Warms my animal-loving heart!
KUDOS Eamon for stopping to look anyway, just incase it was an injured animal!!!👏👏👏
You can do a stove in a day Eamon as long as you have the stove already! Certainly wouldn't need a very large one for that small green place!!😊
I’m so excited for a cabin “build”, as much as van life sounds exciting to me - cabin life will be our future. Notebooks ready for some tips and tricks!!!
I love how open and straight forward you guys are especially about taking this on and going into debt and not knowing whats next.
I’d go for the one with the largest land If you want to develop a kind of resort with a few cabins for rental. As for the existing house it seems there’s no doubt the third one is the best. Good luck with your decision!!!
Okay, the revisit to this is crazy. So much has changed in 3.5 years!!!!!
Man, look at you guys now. Just 3 years ago and you've created this beautiful home, been through so much and come so so far.
I love when you leave in the raw moments when you don't agree on things. Makes things so much more real!
I was thinking about Bec's question about "why did we learn this (buying a home knowledge) instead of algebra. I have been fed up with the school system for several years now. What kids need to know is saving money and finance & investing, among other things. Hell, shop s and mechanic classes weren't even offered to girls when I was in HS. Even in college, we only learned to get a degree so we could earn money. But what good is my big fancy degree now when I'm getting older and can no longer work. I am in no way prepared for retirement, but I"m there due to some health problems. Old age sneaks up on you fast when you're least expecting it. You're still young enough to learn some of this, and I'm doing this as I go along and I don't have a man around to fix things. The entire school system and way of thinking needs to change. Anyway, so much for my ranting. Wishing you luck in your hunt for a cabin.
Mimimi.
As a regular watcher I saw this when you originally posted it, but I'm watching old episodes while waiting patiently for you to be ready to vlog again. ❤️❤️❤️ I also just watched the episode of your departure from Morocco. It's even more heart wrenching and exciting to watch with the perspective of a year having passed. I'm also scrolling way way down to the earliest videos you have available an enjoying the scenes from Africa. Thinking good thoughts for you often in Virginia.
its been a rough 2020 and i broke into tears at the end "...and we are ready to put in an offer". I'm so so happy/excited for you guys! And so lucky to be able to watch the journey.
she's right, paved the way isn't only a term used for pavement
Yes, but she said a paved trail first, which is not correct, I don't think. That would imply it is covered with a hard surface that has been laid there.
‘Paved the way’ means BEING THE FIRST.
@@kingskidspoodles1393 Excitement for what's happening in their lives....rustic trail or well worn trail certainly would have been more accurate, BUT hey it's a big deal to make these kind of Life decisions for the first time....
It’s called a beaten path 😝 in a path is created by humans walking on it it’s called a beaten path 😁
So i got to thinking. Becs phrase 'to pave the way' was used correctly in its metaphorical use of someone going first and making it easier. But eamon is correct in the literal sense that nobody put down pavers. 'Someone's blazed the trail' would been a more correct way of putting it, as well as what was said above, marked the trail/path.
Not that any of this matters, but its nice to know that other people think about this stuff too.
So excited for you guys! You do know that you will need to put in a guest house for Bob, right? He could come up and visit on the weekends and be in your videos. We love us some Bob!
Ohhhh 💯!! Bob is always our priority number 1 lol!! He can have the main bedroom!
We sure do
Yay for Bob!!!
He has his own van if the cabin is full :)
@@teresadopeysmum3268 I know :)
Omg she is so cute you could see her wheels turning when talking about the paving the way
Beginner viewer here-after careful review, I truly believe this purchase was meant to be. To stabilize you, ground you for the "fork in the road" journey. Beautiful story. You should write a book! Lol besides the cookbook lol unless I haven't seen that video yet....I am still a newbie to this channel and scrambling around vs chronological order. Love your energy!
Eamon, the "road has been paved" by previous passersbyers footprints, not paved with cement. It's a figure of speech. This is a really cool video. Land ownership is always a good investment. It would be a good idea to use some of the land to build a second structure to use as a Merchandising store. If you two build it others will come. Good luck with everything.
Others have paved the way, blazed the trail, cleared a path....whee!
Surely its a trail. Someone has cleared a trail, also animals create trails like that.
Paving the way is a little too grand a statement for a walking trail.
I get her sentiment though, its all good fun.
The only way Bec would be right is if her statement was [ie; I pave the way to ----] it is a " pathway" a way that constitutes or serves as a path
Try cast iron, it is heavy af but it’s safe and doesn’t stick like with stainless steel. Heats up nicely too.
Steph La I was going to suggest the same thing! Works great on induction cook tops. That’s all I use😊
I love my cast iron pans! They are so good
They last for years too. Teflon is full of nasties.
Carbon steel ones has all the properties and is hell of a lot better than any of them, but they do need some maintenance from time to time
Yestin Lim but carbon steel doesn’t give the non stick properties of properly seasoned cast iron
Bec is so cheeky, eating with her mouth when a fork or spoon isn’t offered to her. You gotta love it!
Hahaha 😂 you caught that did you?!
I am a horror film director and watching this, i can't stop but think; this feels like the beginning of a horror film
Lol it really does
@@bingeworthygaming 😆😂
"We are ready to pit in an offer" So excited for you both! We just purchased our first home in December last year so all ur feels, hit me. Know exactly how you guys are feeling. But its the best owning property! Hope you guys get it!!
Congrats on your new home Chelsea! That is so exciting 🥰❤️
If I am going to be completely honest i really enjoy the real life videos better with the raw moments. When you show us vidoes and try to make them seem perfect, it makes me feel inferior to you guys and makes me think that having a van would be too much work. I just want you guys to know, that I love seeing the raw details, and that you shouldn't spend so much time worrying about making the videos seem life the perfect lifestyle. It's all amazing in anyway that you guys make it!! Do what you want, its all your decision, but just feel at peace on having to not stress about the expectations of this lifesyle, versus the hard reality that life truly is. Much love coming from Salt Lake City, Utah!
So, if you do not want to use a coated or cast iron pan you have to get a very clean heavy gage pan (no old stuck burned oil or food) hot before adding the oil.... not so hot it smokes but hot where water drops will sizzle. Then add your oil and coat the pan and let it get hot.... grape seed oil is great with high temp cooking... doesn’t burn. Once your oil is hot then add your food, again not raging hot on high temp, rather let it heat on a med-high temp or lower if your burners tend to be hotter than most. If done correctly you will not have any sticking and it will be just as good as a coated pan! Hope this helps.
All the properties look amazing...it will be a journey! Best wishes!
😊😊.I am 14 and my dream is to be a zoologist or a wildlife biologist I am damn interested in nature I dont really have many friends but i have 2 real ones and i actually am very different so i feel very connected to u all
Sorry for my English i just started learning it
Your english is fab!
proud of you!!!!
@U U those are some epic goals!! Congratulations on your dreams. I'm sure that you'll be amazing at it whatever you decide.
@@zzplantlover THANKYOU to everyone I have always been the odd one out even in my family my parents says I am not enjoying my life as I am always with my hobbies or books or just alone learning about these things online iam just so happy that there are people who at least understand not everyone wants to be surrounded by different people
@@UU-kb5xx finding a passion in your life is amazing. It's great to have balance between that. As you continue with your education, you'll get to meet more people who share that passion. Balance is important though, I've worked very hard to be where I am and I am not good at it. It means I love my work and I spend a lot of time on my own. I like time to myself but I wish I were better at balance.
The whole week is stressing for me because of school but I’m so happy that there’s always something to look forward to, every Sunday!!!
Which cabinnnnn i’m so excitedd!!!
Hope you find some other things to help you de-stress too 🤗. Thanks for spending a part of your Sunday with us!!!
Don't why I do relax watching your videos and rewatching it makes me happy
We switched to stainless too recently and you have to get used to using enough oil for things not to stick. Barkeepers Friend is also a must have to clean up when things do stick!
“We’ve had a think about it and we’re ready to put in an offer.” Instant tears over here! My husband and I bought our first house 3 1/2 years ago. Best decision yet. Good luck to you guys on this new adventure. 💗
The past few weeks I have been working on getting a condo (on my own, for a future rental property when travel is allowed again)... And wow I felt that last bit of stress you were talking about, it is so overwhelming, I can't understand why they don't teach more of that kind of stuff and I still don't know if I've made the right decision but we shall see!!! I hope it works out for you both!
At least we are in this crazy boat together ❤️. We’re sure you’ve made the right decision for you if you listened to your gut!! As Eamon’s mom said to us as we were asking for advice “there are no decisions you can’t get out of in life (except for having a kid that is)”. Soooo worse comes to worse we all sell our property and move on... not too bad. Right?
@@eamonandbec Exactly! Being a traveler and hopeful future van lifer that has always been my mindset and it's worked so far!
P.S. if you ever come through WPG, Manitoba and want a condo or a cabin to visit hit me up :)
Thank you thank you!! Also- if you get your skillet hot and then add what fat/oil you are using and then put in what you want to cook you will have less sticking. I have no Teflon lined cookware only stainless steel.
I'm so excited for you!! 🌸🍃 I've been living in a cabin here in the Netherlands for half a year now and I've never been happier! There's something magical about waking up in the forest surrounded by bird sounds and morning fog. 🍃🌻
Talk about a cliff hanger!!! So excited for you guys! Y’all have inspired my husband and I to renovate our Jayco 23ft trailer and move in!! We don’t have kids and we travel every few months for his work anyways! Why not?? ☺️
I can see a cubic mini woodstove being installed in the van soon!
Love the idea of a bunch of tiny cabins, it would make a lovely tiny resort.
This is going to be a long week until next Sunday! So excited for you both. What's the travel time to Home Depot/Lowes? You'll be making a lot of trips. I see a woodsy wedding venue!
We started building on a vacant lot in January and are just now getting the walls finished inside. Building takes a lot more time than you'd imagine when doing it yourself, but so rewarding!
Who else immediately likes the video without even watching it because they’re so stoked to see more awesome content from these two beautiful people?!? Just me...? Eh. I highly doubt that. Haha 😊
Awe thank you for all the love and support Ashley!!!
🍺
always man always. last night it came out for me but I was too tired to watch it but I liked it and am now watching it in the morning.
Eamon & Bec You’re welcome! 💕Y’all have been a huge inspiration. I love watching your vids so of course I had to give y’all a shout out.
But why wouldn’t u watch it ?
UUUHH then you could appear on Living Big in a Tiny House and that's two of my top three UA-cam channels combined 🥺😍
Exciting! Fingers crossed for you xx
Omg Hannah did this!! I’m happy to see more van life people do it
Yeah! That's what i was thinking while watching them. I also love hannah!☺
I’m sooo excited you’re getting a cabin! Totally what I was hoping you would do. Will be so much fun following your journey. Good luck guys xx
Awe thanks for being a part of the journey Helen 🤗
Eamon and Bec have ‘paved the way’ for future van lifers. Or living in a cabin in the woods.
I thought Bec was hilarious trying to explain this. Reminds me of doing an edit for a paper yesterday: using ‘concrete’. Many ways to interpret.
Haha yes! Sometimes a word can have multiple meanings... EAMON! Lol
Depending on whether it is a noun or an adjective.
I couldn't imagine thinking "New van, go travel right now!" We're heading into flu season, plus a pandemic, and the guidelines for your province (where my partner's family lives) are still to have small, isolated "bubbles" and not interact with others. It makes total sense to hunker down in the cabin- enjoy the new adventure and congrats! Projects keep people sane :)
Of the three options... number three please. Option one... sooo much work for a winter project. Second option.. not overly keen on look of property inside and out. So option three wins the vote. Even though the cabin was built in the seventies... it appeared to have a good layout from what glimpses you gave us viewers. Option two had a great bus in the yard, would loved to have seen more.
this is so fun!! I've been loving watching the indie projects fix their stone barn into a tiny home!
When Instagram Bec says to get yourself over to UA-cam and watch the latest video... You get over to UA-cam ASAP!
HAHAH thanks for popping over Matthew!!
Watch the money pit(Tom hanks) before you plunge 😅
Has anyone else commented that that "bob loblaw" joke is literally straight from Arrested Development? hahaha
It sure is. So funny
Well....it’s from a Law Blog.
Haha Bob Lawblogs Law blog
Love Arrested Development and you’re spot on! 😊
this is such a trend, every person im subscribed to is looking into this or has already done it! SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS!!! Congratulations!
Ohhh I really related to the “music please.. your chewing is at an all time high” hahaha
wish you could like a comment more than once...
Mary Raes hahah I have misophonia and have struggled with it since I was a little girl. Music is sometimes the ONLY way I can get through a meal with Eamon (especially in such a tight space 😆)
Eamon & Bec I used to have to eat with headphones in when I was younger to distract myself from my own chewing!! I’m better about it now, but other people’s chewing still drives me a little nuts 😂
the second van-lifer i’ve seen moving to the woods THIS WEEK!
Same!
Haha really?! Who else is joining us out in the wilderness?! Maybe we can be woodsy friends?! 😂
Eamon & Bec her UA-cam is “hannahleedugan,” although she’s in Minnesota!
Trent and Allie are building a house in the woods. You guys know them!
@@isabellegrenier6047 yeah and both parties seem to have same or similar videos and storyline. Basically doing what the other is doing every week. Check both sides videos out. Look like ideas are running out or something.
To try to cut down on stickiness of non-Teflon pans...you can season stainless steel or buy a carbon steel pan and season it just like cast iron. It essentially uses oil to create a really durable non-stick surface. Without the weight or bulk of cast iron.
The "paved" trail you were trying to find the word for would be called an established trail. So beautiful! 😍
eamon 2017: there's no way I can drive a 170 sprinter it's too big for tight cities
eamon 2020: okay a 170 isn't too hard to drive after all
and then imagine eamon 10 years later: a 40 foot bus is soooo short so we're converting that! Edit: this is the first time I’ve gotten 5+ likes !!
Hahah oh how times change eh 😂
Now I make eleven!
Hi guys. Was a realtor for 7 years. Just so you know. When in an aggressive market like that, you can still take your time to make the choice and get your family and friends to check out the homes. You might have to write the offer and get the place under contract, but then you should have built in outs over the period of a couple weeks. If you would be interested in more unbiased tips, happy to help. Good luck!
Eamon, “paved the way” is just a figure of speech. 🤣
I just watching the video where y'all got robbed and I'm glad to see you've installed Simply Safe to keep you safe. And I know what I'm gonna do if I ever take the leap :)
Lilly pad would look great on any of those properties! Exciting times pals 💛
Haha we were literally thinking the same thing 😉. Can’t wait for you both to come visit!!
Can’t wait for more videos with the four (6?) of you!
If you haven’t found a place check the Ottawa River Area lots of property on the market right now from Renfrew out to Kempville and Rockland.
Thanks for the tip!!
I love watching this a year later and seeing what your house was
They pick the best music for their videos. I'm digging these two.
Aaaahhhhh guys!!! That’s so unexpected! But definitely one of your dreams coming true, isn’t it?! 😍💗 So excited for you and cannot wait to see how it will continue! We are with our van in Italy traveling towards Portugal and already wondering where we will spend the winter ❄️ Sending love! 🤍
Hannah leeduggan just posted a moving into a cabin in the woods video😳😳 so cool!!
That’s where I came from 😅
Awe neat! We’ll have to check her out!! Maybe we can be cabin in the woods buddies 😊
You would love one of those high end ceramic pans. My sister has one and when they say you can wipe them out you really can. Natural and nonstick and it's a beautiful thing
I love simply safe got mine when they first started. Never thought of using it on our camper but am now. Thank you.
Does option #2 come with a bus you could remodel, too? This could be another project for E if he gets tired of building fires in the woods.
Hey bec and eamon, you guys are Definitely paving the way for us in the van life adventures fingers crossed you get a little bit of land and cabin near the lake. Best regards Daz
Thanks so much Daz! If we had it our way we’d still be traveling in Trinity across the world but hey... got to embrace this new chapter and keep our fingers crossed we can get back to that when the times right 😊
I'd say cabin # 3..... it does look like it's going to be quite a bit of work, BUT, at least you already have a house and you don't have to build from the ground up!
Make sure you get a thorough home inspection..... do not scrimp on that!! Super key, especially with a cabin that was built in the 70s..... and, you guys also said that the owners had not been in the cabin for a few years, so you'd want to have a thorough check.
Have them really go over plumbing & electrical! And, make sure you get a trusted home inspector ( one that comes highly recommended ).... our realtor told us that some just sign off at times and do not check all. Better to be safe than sorry.
Excited to see the next episode!!! : ) : ) : )
What a great NEW adventure!
I thought this was click bate at first..... clicked on it and was surprised. Sending you guys positive vibes on this new and unexpected adventure.
New adventure... I’ll be on the ride. Y’all are amazing!!
Bec you are right, idk why they don't teach that kind of stuff in schools it would certainly be helpful.
It would be SO helpful! Mortgages, investing, etc!! This is all REAL WORLD stuff that is SUPER important that I feel like we’re totally blind to until it’s time to be an adult and then it almost feels too late to be starting from scratch. Lol anywho... that’s my rant!
@@eamonandbec I totally agree. I didnt make that mistake with my children I made sure I gave them information so they wouldn't feel like I felt when I went in to the "real world". Anyway good luck on the cabin!
@@eamonandbec I agree with your rant. I took a great personal finance course in college (university :-) ) and it taught all about mortgages, buying cars, large appliances, life insurance etc. Should be taught in high school. Love you guys. Beware buying lake front with steep slopes. Some day you'll be old and hate it. Of course if you flip it this spring it's a different story :-)
@@KayRay1966 uh no they dont. Not unless you take a specific course. And many many parents dont put in the time to teach their kids things schools miss because they figure school is good enough. I know a lot of people who had to be taught in adult life how to balance a check book or other simple real world tasks. I met a whole group who had no idea what a cashier's check was a couple weeks ago. Also the amount of people I come across who cannot cook much of anything is shocking. The amount of people who have little to no critical thinking or reasoning skills is even more shocking. We are failing at least in the states to produce people who can care for themselves effectively. And personally I dont think thats an accident. If I ever have kids they will never be in public school if I can help it.
Haven't been upto date latelly (holiday, uni, work, you name it) and It is so amazing to follow you around. This new chapter with the cabin looks so fun, all the best guys !!
I love these vids. Especially when they are all about the nit and grit. Not just the expectations for vanlife. I honestly love seeing your video's, no matter what they are about.
