Who would have thought that a few months later Shawn would no longer be here walking on this earth 😢 Quite fitting the choice of music Chrome used in that shot when Shawn came by with his offering, seems almost angel like. Fly high young man…rest in paradise. Enjoy all the fishing now in the great beyond 🙏
Bro, the shot of you standing outside and looking at the shop was priceless. I could just imagine how your brain was realizing that your dream has become a reality! Double V's Baby!!!! Not to mention every time I see Lauren wearing that hat it puts a smile on my face!!!😊😊😊
If I may suggest... where your lift touches the floor at the ramp area , you might mount some skid plates where the ramps meet the floor so the ramps don't trash your epoxy floor every time they contact the floor.
Hey Chrome buddy, instead of buying one long piece mat. Why not get the one's that come like puzzle pieces that connect? So you can assembly them anyway you like and replace. Just thinking out loud. Oh and don't forget to go to the chiropractor to get your back adjusted before the trip. It's time.
❤Find someone to PAINT GRAFFITI DESIGNS on some sheet rock panels! Just like your FIRST VIDEOS !!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 And attach them to the ends of the SHELVES ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chrome, I'm very impressed with everything you are doing with the new shop. I can see at some point down the road Amanda is going to need an assistant. I'll bet your new landlord is super pleased with what you have done to his building.
I'm so proud of you chrome I have been watching your channel since day one when you was moving out of your condo I believe good things happen to good people when you put good things into this world you get good things back and you have always been like that on your channel by letting us in
Chrome, I'm a professional mechanic at a Midas in Texas. Do not run any runners underneath the lift. Oils and coolant are extremely slippery on mats. Not to mention difficult to clean and over time it will destroy the mat.
The mats will get in the way of the tool boxes rolling around .mechanics have there own tools and tool boxes. And also be a trip hazard. I suggest talking one of your rolling toolboxes and roll it around the lift ,and around the shop . And you will see the mats will be in the way . We have one mat in front of our solvent tank . I would work the shop first then see what works , because when the shop is open and people working in it , the flow and things change.plastic or steal carts are also nice to put parts in and tools , it keeps car parts an stuff off of the ground .
At the beginning of your video, noticed your ac units in the back are sitting close to the ground, you need to pull the vegetation/grass away from those units at least a foot or two, maybe using some of your future parking lot rocks to surround the units! Those units need unobstructed airflow.
I don't rememeber: Are you putting a kitchen in the shop? Full Fridge? Stove? Help all your friends eat better in Van life. Also, you can use a remote for those accent lights around the stickers.
Man is that shop really coming out awesome. I love how the upstairs is coming along, but don't make it too comfy, as Loren looks like he's in heaven lounging in that chair playing some video games. Honestly though I couldn't be happier for you, as your a true testament that dreams do come true with a bit of hard work and even when you hit a bump in the road, you just keep trudging forward. It's been a pleasure watching your channel grow over the past couple years and I look forward to see where this will take you. You my friend are a true inspiration to sooooo many people and I'm sure you have your fair share of haters, but the haters are nothing but jealous!! Have a great weekend✌🏼
I'm excited for you and you are definitely on my list to visit! My journey starts Thursday as I let go of my home and enter into my new life. Vanlife. Thank you for your excitement and encouragement!
If i may, I've worked in several car dealerships. We would not have mats for the reason being of spillage. If you have a vehicle leaking fluid driving into the shop or while fixing a vehicle, fluids may leak out because of maintenance. Also the cost of cleaning the mats. In such a large quatity, it would not be cheap. Just sayin..
We have done it "forever" - it's fun but started with getting dressed in the dark and not being able to find 2 dark sox that matched =;^) To look spiffy, for dress up, I have the sox match/go with the shirt or blouse.
When ever my Family would go out somewhere, and I happen to notice the mismatched socks, my daughters would razz me and tell me that they had another pair just like that at home....lol.
Hello Chrome, Great progress has been made so far into making your dreams into reality. It's going to look great when it's finished. By the way, thanks to Amanda for answering my email regarding the T shirt that I ordered. Great Customer Service by her. Looking forward to seeing another video. Keep up the great work and keep on putting your Double V's up! From London UK 🇬🇧
Hi 😎&🐶;🙂Amana & 🙂 Loren🙂; Shops coming along great! 🤔The Hopper style bins might be good for stickers also! The exterior of the shop's Awesome! Thank You for sharing your journey! Great Video 🤗👍; ❤️🫂😎,🐶, Loren , Amanda; See You & Crazy Soon 🙂
I love how your shop is coming together. As you were watching the guy do the siding in front, I got the idea that you need a couple of grafitti artists do a VanToys piece. That is you as you reminded us buy showing the old video of you and Danica. I remember when you went there, many times, bring some of that joy home!❤❤❤
The thumbnail shot depicts you contemplating the next chapter in your vancity life concept,the reality of your accomplishments must be mind blowing! Peace out! Double Vees Chrome!
You should paint those V’s on the storage racks upstairs red!✌️✌️ You got it going on at that shop!! Well done 👍 Cedar is a nice touch for outside. I still suggest you adding some diamond cut sheet metal chair rail along your downstairs shop wall. To protect the walls getting hit. The entrance door might look good in red? It would pop with the siding and the cedar, all contrasting with each other? You did a great job!
Happy Canada Day Chrome. The new shop is looking great. Outside now as well as inside. Just a few details to fill in. Ie microwave,frig etc Hammer down Chrome straight on till morning as old truck drivers used to say. Tom in the Maritimes at the NB-NS border
You look so cool even though your socks 🧦 🧦🧦🧦don’t match and flip flops 🤭👌! ONLY you can pull that off! IN A SERIOUS note 📝! SO PROUD OF YOU CHROME 👏🙏♥️!
So exciting! Happy you are realizing your dreams! Love cedar shake , my grandfather had a house by the Susquehanna river in PA all cedar shake sided. Spent most of my youth there with family- such great memories!
I think the shelves lined up like you did looks efficient for working and as use of space. Also, i didnt like the previous idea of the shelves creating a dark wall inside, because you worked so hard to create a light and airy (while still bold) space.
The shop is shaping up Beautiful! I wonder if one of those escalators for Cruzzie might be a good idea, Chrome. Those stairs may be tough on his joints.
Congratulations Chrome , it looks amazing n u have worked pretty hard n have been very consistent in getting to this point, u deserve it ❤ from Columbus ohio

Been seeing you all over town lately. Welcome to the neighbourhood!
Hey Chrome and Cruz and Amanda...and Loren...I have goosebumps watching your dreams come true...
What's up weirdos!! Hope you all have an amazing weekend!!
Thank thanks you too
Thank you. You as well ❤️🇨🇦
You too
You too 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
You also Lauren!!
Luv the new digs.
Put a Microwave upstairs in the shop for the Boss Lady to heat up her lunches. Also Cruzy said go ahead and buy a cat and he will eat it. LOL
I haven’t used a microwave in over 20 years. But he did get an air fryer today! Woot woot 🎉
or toaster oven
The only channel out there that's 100% Vanlife!
Well done Amanda! The upstairs looks very professional. Well done to you all. Looks the biz ✨🌈👍🏻🌈✨
I watching you from day one who could imagine it could end to this. I proud of you Chrome.
💙 Leo knows how to do his thing, great concept for all his people
Lookit you guys working away! What a team!
YES ladies V necks! Let's go!!!
It's all looking SOOOOO good!!!!🧡👍✌✌
I second this!
Third! But make them LONG please. Hate how they make ladies shirts too short.
@@wiki189 💖
I fourth, fifth and 6th it!! We need some women’s shirts big time!!!😂
@@Makeitbymandy we are relying on you to help make this happen.
No pressure! 🤣

Chrome, I'm a professional mechanic at a Midas in Texas. Do not run any runners underneath the lift. Oils and coolant are extremely slippery on mats. Not to mention difficult to clean and over time it will destroy the mat.
Better to destroy the a rubber floor Matt than 20k in epoxy floors.
You're a real mechanic so the aesthetics is not your primary concern like non mechanics opening shops 😅
Congratulations on starting up this new business. I wish you success and prosperity. ✨️✨️✨️✨️
❤ ✌️ ✌️
_ALL OUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE, IF WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO PURSUE THEM!_

Can’t wait to see it in person. It makes me happy to see you happy. 🎉🍻

The shop looks AWESOME Chrome. Im so happy for you. Yes, please thank God for all of your Blessings.
Just look at that floor would ya! Looks fantastic!
the shop is coming along so nicely! great job. the hard work is going to pay off for you! i just know it
Funny how Cruzy waited until you turned the light off to make sure you were actually leaving before he came down the stairs
I love seeing you so pumped about your accomplishments and where your future is headed. Living the dream ✌️✌️❣️❣️ Smooches for Cruzie 💋 🐾 🦴

Paint those two Vs on the shelves red!
Next project suggestion: a fenced yard area for the dogs with a sun shelter. Anybody have some used chain link fencing to drop off? A dog house?
That's a great idea. Keeps the dogs in a contained area so they don't get hit on accident
I don't rememeber: Are you putting a kitchen in the shop? Full Fridge? Stove? Help all your friends eat better in Van life. Also, you can use a remote for those accent lights around the stickers.
There will be a fridge and a freezer and coffee machine. There is now an air fryer!

she is for sure!
Thanks to both of you for the kindness!!❤

awesome! Happy travels!
You are an inspiration! Everything's looking awesome!
Becarful with your back.
This is ALL SO EXCITING 😊❤👍👍
You all are SO great !!! ❤❤❤
Shop floor looks amazing button 🔥🔥😎😎
So fun watching your dreams and your visions come into reality, Dreams can come true::🦋
Maybe think about putting a mini kitchen upstairs. That way everyone can enjoy it
He's going to.
Love always and hope your setup goes well and get back to what we started watching for but love your growth
I LOVE the lounge area! Glad to see Loren getting to have some downtime!

BETTER EVERT DAY THANKS
I love the mix matched socks lol
We have done it "forever" - it's fun but started with getting dressed in the dark and not being able to find 2 dark sox that matched =;^)
To look spiffy, for dress up, I have the sox match/go with the shirt or blouse.
It reminds me of the mismatched shoes days. Was so happy to see it!
When ever my Family would go out somewhere, and I happen to notice the mismatched socks, my daughters would razz me and tell me that they had another pair just like that at home....lol.
We were laughing because all 3 of us were wearing mismatched socks that day! Lol
@@wiki189 was thinking the same thing Lauren!

That’s the best message for going van life / the rent you save
Wrong. Home ownership is the best thing my wife and I did. Now we have a 900 k house that's paid for at 45 years old
VERY IMPRESSIVE, Chrome!! Not bad for an out of work D.J. Not bad at all. Well Done Buddy.
Congratulations on the expansion of your business. I am very proud of you, Chrome.
Everything looks great
You should paint the double V’s on the shelves.
Stoked to see things progressing!❤
Cruise is soooo cute!❤

You’re establishing a more permanent “sense of place.”It’s just not where you sleep. But you are definitely acquiring more “stuff.”
It’s so great to watch it all come together over time 😀
Just ordered a misprint shirt! It's a size to big but at least I'm ordering stuff.... Rite?!😊
It's all about the support!! It's great!
The thumbnail shot depicts you contemplating the next chapter in your vancity life concept,the reality of your accomplishments must be mind blowing! Peace out! Double Vees Chrome!
Yes❣️ with the end caps in gray, and the “V”s in red. So awesome. Congrats Chrome, this is going to be quite the adventure ‼️
Your ac units outside will last a lot longer if you mount them off the ground.
Have a wonderful weekend 😊
The shops looking good
Looks great 🎉
everything looks awesome!! safe travels bro
Loren is so awesome!!!!! Love that he plays video games!!
Happy Canada day weekend
You have a good eye for design, Chrome, and good taste!
Looks great
You gotta utilize that “Nomad Cookbook” to start eating healthy! Love Your Channel Chrome, keep up the great work! 👍🏾
Looking mighty fine.
You should paint those V’s on the storage racks upstairs red!✌️✌️
You got it going on at that shop!! Well done 👍
Cedar is a nice touch for outside. I still suggest you adding some diamond cut sheet metal chair rail along your downstairs shop wall. To protect the walls getting hit. The entrance door might look good in red?
It would pop with the siding and the cedar, all contrasting with each other?
You did a great job!
🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 CRUZIE jump in chair and feel like he's in a Go-Cart 😆 ... weeeeeeee !!!
Chair won't roll away now 😊❤
Happy Canada Day Chrome. The new shop is looking great. Outside now as well as inside. Just a few details to fill in. Ie microwave,frig etc Hammer down Chrome straight on till morning as old truck drivers used to say. Tom in the Maritimes at the NB-NS border
It's crazy watching the transformation of the shop and your dreams.
The shop looks amazing !!
It looks awesome
I ❤️ Loren’s hat!
Hi Chrome finally your dream come true the shop is looking very nice hope Cruz get a special place

hahaha that's been his signature look from the beginning!! I got a chuckle out of seeing it!
Shop looks so good, but needs a portrait of our star.
So exciting! Happy you are realizing your dreams! Love cedar shake , my grandfather had a house by the Susquehanna river in PA all cedar shake sided. Spent most of my youth there with family- such great memories!
Im so excited for you. It’s looks amazing
Looks awesome bro.... Lots of love from Nova Scotia
Awesome as always

Looks great Chrome 👍.
