    Well said Colin ... I live my life (nearly 76) based on three values ... Blessings, Gratitude and Thriving. I feel blessed to be alive and well in my senior years, with no chronic illnesses, not dependency of prescribed drugs, and generally physically, mentally and emotionally well. I feel grateful for my wife of 49 years on November 9, 2022, for my 2 children and their spouses and my 4 grandchildren, for my dear friends around the world (as an international trainer and coach, I have presented to, trained and coached over 174,000 individuals in 55% of the world, authored 7 books in 11 languages) and connect with impressive individuals like both of you. At my age I am thriving as I work 1/2 time as a COO for northern Aviation company in NWT, coach 35 people on a bi-weekly basis around the world, help raise 2 of my grandkids, writing two more books. My goal in life is to be a better me. I love your approach to life and wish only happiness for you both.

    Thoughtful intuitive young man. This is a huge project, building out your van, but I think you and Paige are on the right track. It is a much more difficult thing than one realizes to live an authentic life. When you are working 60 hour weeks selling your soul (and at times compromising your integrity) for a huge corporation, it gets to be a bit much. I think because of my chosen field (nursing) I have been able to realize my own dream of living a fulfilled life but not everyone is so lucky. This life you have chosen will test you, possibly in much stranger ways than a conventional life but the great thing is, there is a whole community of like minded folks like you and Paige out there and I think seeing the comments from ppl like Vanwives you will have the support you need. I wish you all the best and I am looking forward to this series.💛

  • @ScottS360
    @ScottS360 2 роки тому

    Bolts spinning is a common problem, with an easy solution: you need someone trying to loosen the bolt, while the other person tries to loosen the corresponding nut. If you're working alone, put a long wrench on the top of the bolt, then try to loosen the nut from underneath. The bolt will spin at first, but with any luck the wrench will hit something solid (like the side of the van), stop moving, and you'll be able to remove the nut from the bottom. If your fasteners are rusty, Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil is sometimes helpful for loosening things up. Good luck!

    @WaltFelix 2 роки тому +1

    If you can get at the bottom of the bolts that are spinning, from underneath, spray them with PB Blaster Penetrating Lubricant and let them sit for a day or two. Get back under there with a socket and your breaker bar. It's going to want to turn counter clockwise when unbolting, so brace the bar handle against the frame or something else solid, with the socket on the nut. Then have Paige use the impact gun again from inside while you are holding it underneath. Should be able to break those loose if you can hold the nuts in place.

    • @WaltFelix
      @WaltFelix 2 роки тому

      @@colinandpaige Sorry, had to re-think that for a minute. If Paige is above trying to unbolt with the impact, it is counter clockwise movement for her. So the movement underneath will be clockwise from your perspective. So with the socket on the nut, first spin the breaker bar clockwise until it hits again against some solid, then have her hit it with the gun. You are just holding steady against something solid, she's actually breaking the bolt loose with the gun. And be careful not to pinch your finger between the bar and what you are bracing against.

    Nice work Colin, and I vote that in the long run you will be glad that you had to strip the van rather than buying an empty shell. I have built many cars, trucks and machines, and I find that it takes a while to lessen the anxiety of working on something new that you don't want to screw up. So it you start with a clean slate, you are even more nervous (rightly so) about screwing up the vehicle and the things that you just spent a lot of money buying. By tearing apart the van first, it is a lot of work, but you are getting comfortable working on the van and building your skillset. Looking forward to your build, and I left my career in 2006 and have never looked back. Best of luck.

      Hey Collin and Paige .... SECRETS.... .I'm a retired 78 yr.old single young man and I ride a motorcycle, I've always wanted to do a ride from the north most to the south most points through the eastern mountains in the USA. I've had the pleasure of doing it in a car but have always wanted to do it again on the motorcycle. ABSOLUTELY breath taking scenery. People have always told me it's just a dream and not to be silly so i have put it off for years. After listening to your words in the vlog you convinced me it's time to go. so I'm taking 3 weeks in September and I'm going to do it. If I succeed in this endeavour I will do the #2 which is do the Route 66 trip once again as well from east to west.
      Thanks for the awakening!!!!!!!!

      @@colinandpaige I actually purchased a cap for my truck and built it into a “camper”. I have gone out camping a few times solo (my other half doesn’t camp so I bring the dog). I built the cabinets and bed with drawers myself (past life was a cabinet maker/designer) and I have the creature comforts for short trips or trips to campgrounds. I would like to buy a van in the future and build it into a tiny home and do some traveling but a lot to sort out in my life before I pull the trigger..that and some money to do it of course. Currently working on starting a small remote business that will finance me if I do get to hit the road. I can’t fight the nomadic person I am forever. I work to live not live to work!

    I would cut through the bolt heads with your edge grinder. If you get a slightly thicker disc for it, you can cut the heads rather than grinding them off. Still a pain in the butt, but way quicker than grinding them.

    Hey Colin, I'd recommend a cordless 1/2" DeWalt impact to replace that crappy CrappyTire impact: DCF899B. There are a few variants with different heads, which realistically make no difference to the end-user, but often go on various sales on Amazon. I grabbed one a while back and it has been superb. There's nothing it hasn't loosened (or broken, lol).

    Loving this team, awesome content but even better production. maybe a quick trip to a mechanic shop to put it on a hoist or using a jack to get more clearance. One person underneath one in the van??? You look like you have the right tools. Also there is spray you can put on seized nuts. Love the philosophy and can’t wait to see you experience life.

    The Panini left a lot of us searching for more. For something beyond being trapped in a 9-5 within the same 4 walls day in and day out. We explored tiny homes, schoolies and van builds as options to get us moving around the world and experiencing life again in a situation where many are unable to keep up with traditional housing costs.
    For those who "wish you could do that!", what is it about van life that draws you in? Is there a way you can emulate that feeling in your everyday life?
