BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! We now have a Podcast- 1st episode dropping this week on Wednesday April 19th. Click here to subscribe to the NEW channel that way you don’t miss the launch 💛 youtube.com/@vanwivespackchat WHAT do y’all think of the kitchen build so far?? We’re feeling happy inside to be at this step in the renovations. We love our Pack! Thank you for being here each week xx
9:30 EST, is that AM or PM? I assume AM, but you know what can happen when you "ass-u-me" anything. Also I think Porter would be an interesting guest for a podcast. I'd like to hear a local perspective on your journey to self sufficiency and off grid life.
I never comment on these things but as a mom to 2 girls about your age, I can say that I am so proud of both of you. You are fearless and amazing women and you are an inspiration to women everywhere. You are so happy together and I look forward to seeing you every Sunday. Well done ladies!
I came here to make my first comment on this channel. But there's no need because you wrote the exact same message i'd write. Daughters and all included! Greetings from Patagonia, Argentina. 🤗
Jaz, when you said the plumbing job was a whole lot easier than what you expected, I felt like how a teacher must feel when the student finally understands a concept. Setting up the sink job was easier because you have educated your self through repetition and learning. It was easier because you both insist on understanding these various skills / tasks. You two have never allowed a learning opportunity to slip by and I love you both so much because of that!! You both are the shining example of committed self reliance and rugged independence. Can't wait for the Pack Chat podcast!!! I also can't wait to see you next Sunday!!
I was thinking the same thing. The video already exists and I’m sure that millions more would view your cabin restoration. There are at least two seasons of HGTV that you can share with the world. ❤️❤️🐾🐾
You should have all those folks that helped bring your dream home to life on your podcast. Talk about the inspirations, challenges, and helping to become a beautiful cabin in the woods. And those cabinets are amazing. Can't wait to see counteracts bring it all together. Also talk about the sustainability and eco friendly benefits you have used on the cabin and property. I find it amazing we can do these things today. Thank you for bringing us along on your dream cabin journey. You both have done fantastic.
So many tears of happiness for you pack! 😭😭 How far you have come. AMAZING! Remembering that one phone call to Andy back in the fall when we visited with you and here you are with the most awesome kitchen. We look forward to visiting with you again soon so we can bake bread together in your new kitchen. Love to you all. ❤❤
A suggestion (if it hasn’t already been suggested) to make use of the kitchen so much better, reverse the hinges on your refrigerator door to swing out from the opposite side. It is quite easy to do and typically involves only three screws for the top hinge after removing the cover and three for the lower hinge. The cover will work on the other side too. This will make it easier to utilize the countertop when you load & unload items. The cabinets look great.
Love how you two encourage others to prod on even if you fail the first try. How sweet to have the lower drawers for your canine best friends/family to eat from. Bless you dear ladies❤
Yes! That's exactly how we are where we are! We didn't give up, we kept going, and we know everyone here can too! They are so special to us, of course we had to! Thanks for watching. 🤗💛
The pride of accomplishment and ownership on both your faces after building and plumbing your entire kitchen just makes me smile from ear to ear. Just wonderful!
I'm only pausing video, because I want to make sure you have enough room to open oven all the way! You may have considered that as I continue watching. I adore Bella and Izzy's feeding and water stations! You two thought of it all❤❤
Ladies, you never cease to amaze me. I'm a 79 year old man that grew up in the middle of Indiana and my father was this little German custom cabinet maker. As a kid and later as a teenager I would watch him take these unfinished pieces of plywood and lumber and fashion them into works of art. People traveled hundreds of miles to have him build their dream kitchens and also bathrooms and closets. The point is, after all those years or watching him build these dream kitchens for people I am blown away at your skill sets and a willingness to work hard to get what you want. It is nothing short of amazing and uplifting to watch the two of you tackle tasks that many men would never attempt. Plumbing and electrical can both be extremely difficult tasks and yet you took both head on and look where you are now. Your little house is now a home. I have been married to the love of my life for 50 years and now in the twilight of my life you two are an inspiration. Continue to love each other and be kind to each other.
My heart swelled when Jazz lowered behind Crystal when the water was turned on, I could feel the pride! Jazz you really are a trooper taking on so many of the roughest jobs, you go woman! And to the both of you: Well done (pun intended). Loved the silly end too, like you had stairs below! Thanks😊 for the Sunday morning laughs and internal sunshine!
Well Oma Vic, you filled up our hearts. Thank you for all the kind sweet words. Happy you feel that we give you internal sunshine! Love that! We love to add some fun to everyday!💛🐶
The joy of a healthy gorgeous kitchen space makes this the perfect home now! I'm so excited for both of you to finally see this gorgeous spot, because I know you have struggled forever not having it. Tears of joy here! Tears of JOY!❤❤
The kitchen is amazing! We changed the kitchen around when we moved 9 years ago and I still love it as much as the first day. Happy claps and happy dances 🥰
Great job and I love the difference! Don't forget to get skirting around the base of the cabin, before winter next year. That will make a huge difference in heat retention. Time for the off-grid cabin retreat on your property?
You two are so inspiring! As someone from your home province of Ontario, seeing you two build your dream home off grid, makes me believe I can do this too one day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world.
You two have come such a long way! Congratulations! You will be the kind of people who will never take for granted the simple things in life. You know what it’s like to be without!
Congratulations on your new kitchen !! You all have done a great job. Two things I want to point out: does your fridge open so close to the wall? And, be careful when cooking on the stove with the window open. A breeze could easily blow out the flame and your gas will still be on. I have had this happen before and it's dangerous, especially if you have candles lit or a fire in the fireplace. We love you and want you to be safe!! ❤
I had not noticed any hints about your podcast before. I have to say the kitchen looks wonderful !!!! What a job you guys did. I missed you last Sunday and was worried about you !!! I've never seen the dog drawers in a cabinet before....WOW !! Bella and Izzy loved it. The only thing that I see that you need to do is to change the way the refrigerator door opens. It's not hard at all and they are made to open from either side, you just have to change the hardware. Jaz , Crystal, Bella, Izzy you got it going on !!! See you next Sunday. Until then it's always PAWS UP FOREVER.
A kitchen! How wonderful is that! From assembling and placement to that AMAZING plumbing job. LOVE the pull-outs for the feeding stations. It's a wonderful design - Andy, your are a true wood master. The giant leaps you have made since you got the cabin is mind-boggling. You guys and your building buddies SO ROCK!
Nothing you two surprises me anymore! You are unstoppable. I'm honestly so proud of what you have accomplished as a team. Your love for each other shines bright in each project you finish and each milestone you conquer. Blessings to you, Vanwives! Keep up the incredible work and fun content!
You two are amazing! The kitchen is the heart of the home. When you wake up every day you can look at another thing you've created. I'm about ready to cry. You show us that anything is possible if put your mind to it. ❤
Excellent work Ladies! So proud of all the things you have accomplished. Love watching you achieve your goals. Enjoy your amazing kitchen! See you next week 💛💛
As a builder my OCD is raging. Installing a kitchen under an unfinished ceiling. Having a working sink without countertops. Using sharkbites for permanent pipe connectors. Arrrrrrr, I need a drink! Hahaha. But I get it. You want convenience..... now.
Awesome! The fact that the two of you have rebuilt 99% of this cabin and the land surrounding it, is amazing and will now know in the future how to fix and maintain your home, will benefit you two and this wonderful place in the future. Aloha!
So great to see how calm and confident you were with that plumbing job. It's amazing how much you've learned and how you're able to apply your knowledge to new tasks. You made it seem like it was no big deal at all when I know it was! Great work. xoxo
The progress you've made over the winter has been incredible, all these huge QOL projects coming to fruition... and it'll make summer living just that much sweeter this year!
We've definitely gotten a lot more done than we expected. We're so happy the cabin is becoming more of a home than a construction zone these days! Thanks for watching, Alex. 🤗💛
Watching you guys make that cabin into a beautiful home is therapeutic. The two of you inspire me. I always get up and clean or fix something afterward.
congratulations guys it was a long road getting here but you two overcame so much togather you should be proud of yourselves we are all very proud of you. now springs here so time for the gardens lol love you both
Congrats!!! The island is absolutely beautiful and the slid out dog bowls genius. Podcast absolutely already subscribed. First guests ( I love the vibe) Tyler and Todd! Max and Occy! Eamon and Bec! Isabel Paige, Sharing the Wild. Congrats on everything you’ve overcome and accomplished. Having a functioning kitchen game changer.
Shedding a few tears of joy for you ladies!! You imagined this dream and through your persistent belief in that dream being real, it is manifesting full circle into your world now! What a beautiful accomplishment you two have done for yourselves!! What was once only a house that you dreamed could be a home now is in reality just THAT!! Way to go!!
I very nearly cried happy tears for y'all. Every time I watch one of your videos I come away just so impressed with your strength and determination. Enjoy...you've earned it.
I don't think I've ever seen Crystal soooo happy. And she is happy to wash dishes! That is crazy. Kitchen is lookin good. Love the doggy eating stations too!
IT'S YOUR KITCHEN In Those CRATES!!! 🎉 I am so happy for you! The space for Bella and Izzy's dishes is brilliant. I bet they can learn to open the drawer themselves, clever as they are. Celebrate and ENJOY.. It is a lovely kitchen.
You ladies are indeed fearless. I told my 28 year old daughter about your channel in hopes it will inspire her the way you tackle these things on your own. My only design comment is that the stove is right in front of the window and any time you have the window open while trying to use it you'll find that the gas flames can dance around causing some issues. I tried that once in a kitchen redo and eventually moved it. Can't wait to see what's next!!
My jaw just hit the floor!!!! The placement of the dog bowls is PURE GENIUS!!!!!! That has to be one of the greatest things I've ever seen! Definitely gonna have to remember that when I reno my kitchen!
Thank you so much for that podcast of yours! I haven’t been running by myself in years and somehow felt anxious to do so. Today I woke up, discovered your podcast and took you girls on a 10k run with me. I wanna make your episodes my weekly running routine. I know I don’t really “know” you girls but you’ve given me so much joy and empowerment over the past years, I’m very thankful for you sharing your life and experiences. ❤️☀️🍀
So happy you liked the podcast! So cool that you have now started your running routine taking us along with you! We love that! We are so honoured to have you in our pack. Our community means so much to us! 💛🐶
Firstly I cant get over how light and bright your cabin is now, such a difference and its beautiful. The dog feeding drawers are such a fantastically brilliant idea, how great are they, especially for a small space. Jazz what an amazing plumber you are, you should be very proud - great work. Crystal love seeing how happy you are with getting the kitchen project started, its really the heart of the home, so I dont blame you at all. Its beautiful, I love the colour and the island is amazing - everything is brilliant well done girls again you are both amazing xx
I love the way you two Ladies are doing such a ton of your own work , after its done you can be very satisfied and proud of yourselves. I am truly proud to watch all your vidios from when you first started up till now , cant wait for Sunday's !
Great Job, Ladies!!! So much time laying the groundwork, now things are starting to come together and doesn't it look and feel nice. Your cabin is actually becoming a home which has to feel so good. Kudos!
Great job and the dog dish slide out drawer is the most amazing idea ever! On a side note check your fridge to see if the door is reversible (most are) so the door opens in towards the wall not the island.
The place is looking amazing! I think everyone will have dog bowls in the island now. Very clever. I could not tell from the shot but you should put a plumbing vent in under the sink in the drain line. They are super cheap and you can still add one without much more work. It will help drain that big sink when it is full of water and you drain it. You will hear gurgling, bubbling noises if you don't have one and it will take longer to put in. If you plan on putting in a garbage disposal that would be a good time to put the vent.
And we love you too Jaz and Crystal, you should both be rightfully proud of what you have achieved, Jaz summed it up, when she had finished the plumbing, how you had made 11 trips to Lowes in one day when plumbing the van, but the cabin plumbing went so smoothly.I truly think that by tackling these different trades (and stumbling at times) has added to the sense of achievement, each project has added to your list of skills 👏❤️
@@Vanwives I just know, that many people would be very cautious of tackling some things, but, not only have you tackled them, you have succeeded, I’m staggered at what you have both achieved ❤️
WOW.. you girls do an amazing job. Your kitchen will look gorgeous once the counter tops are put in. I love that you girls decided to put the sink in the island. You both killed this project!!! Sending love and paws up ♥️🐾
Need some color contrast in the kitchen. Plans to stain, paint, tile? Wood preservation? Lots of easy, accessible storage. No more cleanup trips to the van. Game changer.
I’m so inspired by you ladies!! I’ve been watching for a few months and already I have a huge tool collection and have made coffee tables for most of my family. A bunch of wooden shelves and signs!! I told my husband I was ready to build a cabin in the woods. He said “ you are not the Van Wives” stick with the shelves for now!! At first I was mad but he is right. I can’t build a cabin. At least right now but soon I will build a cabin!!
That's so kind, thanks for sharing that with us Donna! We believe that as long as you have your community with you and are driven to progress, all things are possible! 🤠
❤🎉🎉🎉 totally cool ladies. Awesome job I can’t wait to see the countertops you got. I love the shelves. Have a super week. See you next week. Much love Mike, Maddie, and Miley.🐾🐾
Wow! You ladies are on point! Doing it for yourselves. I like that you both seem to have perfected certain skills and are a great team!! Outstanding. Maybe you should start a building business😊

@@bobyandell3898 in the video it says 9:30 EST (eastern standard time)
Yeah it's easy to do, changing the fridge door,. Just make sure you unplug fridge so you don't get a shock
Feeding stations
I never comment on these things but as a mom to 2 girls about your age, I can say that I am so proud of both of you. You are fearless and amazing women and you are an inspiration to women everywhere. You are so happy together and I look forward to seeing you every Sunday. Well done ladies!
We feel honoured thank you for commenting.
We are happy to have you in our pack.🤩🐶
You 2 just get even more amazing every week! (I missed you last week 😞
I can’t wait to see the worktops finish everything off, looks amazing ❤
I came here to make my first comment on this channel. But there's no need because you wrote the exact same message i'd write. Daughters and all included! Greetings from Patagonia, Argentina.
🤗
You should change the fridge doors around to open the other way.
Exactly the reason I'm here to comment....lol
i was just going to comment that they might want to move the fridge hinges over to the left side of the fridge !
You are right, it could drive us crazy! We will soon 😊
I came here to comment about the same thing😂
Likewise. There are UA-cams on how to reverse the hinge. Kitchen's looking awesome ladies!!
You guys are unbelievable. To see the progress of the cabin is insane. Women can do anything. ❤
We like the way you think. Thanks for tuning in.🤩💛
The way both dogs responded to your commands before being fed is another show of how you two are responsible pet owners. Excellent work!
Awe thank you Wayne. Bella and Izzy make it easy! Love our dogs.💛🐶
Jaz, when you said the plumbing job was a whole lot easier than what you expected, I felt like how a teacher must feel when the student finally understands a concept.

Can't wait for the Pack Chat podcast!!! I also can't wait to see you next Sunday!!
I said it before. I am in awe of you two. I almost cried when you turned on the running water and it worked!! Bravo. You need your own HGTV show.
Aww Gina, so happy you can feel and be part of our emotion. We are grateful to have you in our pack.💛🐶
I was thinking the same thing. The video already exists and I’m sure that millions more would view your cabin restoration. There are at least two seasons of HGTV that you can share with the world. ❤️❤️🐾🐾
@@Vanwives THANK YOU. You two are so sweet and positive. You need to bottle your personalities 😁
Ok I’m convinced there is absolutely nothing that the 2 of you can’t do. So much talent!
You should have all those folks that helped bring your dream home to life on your podcast. Talk about the inspirations, challenges, and helping to become a beautiful cabin in the woods. And those cabinets are amazing. Can't wait to see counteracts bring it all together.
Also talk about the sustainability and eco friendly benefits you have used on the cabin and property. I find it amazing we can do these things today. Thank you for bringing us along on your dream cabin journey. You both have done fantastic.

Someone already told them that 3 hours ago. (-;
Yep same page. I was thinking more counter immediately next to the fridge. Maybe there’s gonna be an island or floating island
Thank you William we sure do appreciate all the ideas and suggestion we receive. Thank you for being part of our pack.💛🐶
Love how you two encourage others to prod on even if you fail the first try. How sweet to have the lower drawers for your canine best friends/family to eat from. Bless you dear ladies❤

From @Vancity Vanlife to @Vanwives, Andy has provided the "awesomest" wood-working creations!!
Ladies, you never cease to amaze me. I'm a 79 year old man that grew up in the middle of Indiana and my father was this little German custom cabinet maker. As a kid and later as a teenager I would watch him take these unfinished pieces of plywood and lumber and fashion them into works of art. People traveled hundreds of miles to have him build their dream kitchens and also bathrooms and closets. The point is, after all those years or watching him build these dream kitchens for people I am blown away at your skill sets and a willingness to work hard to get what you want. It is nothing short of amazing and uplifting to watch the two of you tackle tasks that many men would never attempt. Plumbing and electrical can both be extremely difficult tasks and yet you took both head on and look where you are now. Your little house is now a home.

My heart swelled when Jazz lowered behind Crystal when the water was turned on, I could feel the pride! Jazz you really are a trooper taking on so many of the roughest jobs, you go woman! And to the both of you: Well done (pun intended). Loved the silly end too, like you had stairs below! Thanks😊 for the Sunday morning laughs and internal sunshine!
Well Oma Vic, you filled up our hearts. Thank you for all the kind sweet words. Happy you feel that we give you internal sunshine! Love that! We love to add some fun to everyday!💛🐶
what amazing accomplishments. You girls are truly building yourselves a beautiful home.
The joy of a healthy gorgeous kitchen space makes this the perfect home now! I'm so excited for both of you to finally see this gorgeous spot, because I know you have struggled forever not having it. Tears of joy here! Tears of JOY!❤❤
Aww Michele, you felt the same way we do, thanks for sharing with us. 💛🐶
The kitchen is amazing! We changed the kitchen around when we moved 9 years ago and I still love it as much as the first day. Happy claps and happy dances 🥰
Thank you.. so cool that you still live it after 9 years! Always happy dances! 🤩🐶
Great job and I love the difference! Don't forget to get skirting around the base of the cabin, before winter next year. That will make a huge difference in heat retention. Time for the off-grid cabin retreat on your property?
Hey David, thanks for the reminder, we may need another one in September. 😆 🐶
Block with metal access doors
You two are so inspiring! As someone from your home province of Ontario, seeing you two build your dream home off grid, makes me believe I can do this too one day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world.
You two have come such a long way! Congratulations! You will be the kind of people who will never take for granted the simple things in life. You know what it’s like to be without!
Congratulations on your new kitchen !! You all have done a great job. Two things I want to point out: does your fridge open so close to the wall? And, be careful when cooking on the stove with the window open. A breeze could easily blow out the flame and your gas will still be on.

Congrats to two multi-talented women! The kitchen looks great. Plumbing awesome!!!
You two are amazing! The kitchen is the heart of the home. When you wake up every day you can look at another thing you've created. I'm about ready to cry. You show us that anything is possible if put your mind to it. ❤
Thanks for watching, Phyllis! You're so right about all of that. Thanks for sharing that with us! 😊
You two ladies are amazing! There is absolutely nothing that you couldn't conquer. Love the kitchen, it looks so nice😊❤
That's so kind of you, thanks for believing in us! We're very proud. 🤗
Excellent work Ladies! So proud of all the things you have accomplished. Love watching you achieve your goals. Enjoy your amazing kitchen! See you next week 💛💛
Love the way the dogs wanted to have a good look under the sink at the same time as Jasmine! Well done girls!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Haha, the girl's are always just as invested in the process as us! 🤪
I’d love an interview/chat with Tyler and Todd!!! I love both your channels and you have amazing approaches to your self sustaining living!!! 😊❤
We love our besties! Hoping to have Tyler and Todd on soon. 💛🐶
On Easter I visited my best friends some hundred km away, but I still missed you. Congratulation to that wonderful kitchen and the fantastic job.
We're so glad you enioyed your Easter weekend! We're back now and busier than ever! See you Sunday! 👀
I am over the moon happy for you 2, how amazing is it to have your cabinets in place and your kitchen sink working WOOT WOOT👍🎉❤️
As a builder my OCD is raging.
Installing a kitchen under an unfinished ceiling. Having a working sink without countertops.
Using sharkbites for permanent pipe connectors. Arrrrrrr, I need a drink! Hahaha.
But I get it. You want convenience..... now.
I absolutely love watching your videos. You two have accomplished so much. Congratulations on the kitchen, it looks great!
Awesome! The fact that the two of you have rebuilt 99% of this cabin and the land surrounding it, is amazing and will now know in the future how to fix and maintain your home, will benefit you two and this wonderful place in the future. Aloha!
Congrats on your kitchen. I know it’s the heart of your home as you both love cooking so much.
Right Siobhan, the kitchen is where friends and family always seem to gather. 💛🐶
Yep it’s the same in most homes but it’s so welcoming and allows you to share your joy of food/family/friends.
So great to see how calm and confident you were with that plumbing job. It's amazing how much you've learned and how you're able to apply your knowledge to new tasks. You made it seem like it was no big deal at all when I know it was! Great work. xoxo
The more you do a job the more confident you become with so much knowledge and experience. Thank you for sharing your kind words with us. 🤩🐶
The progress you've made over the winter has been incredible, all these huge QOL projects coming to fruition... and it'll make summer living just that much sweeter this year!
We've definitely gotten a lot more done than we expected. We're so happy the cabin is becoming more of a home than a construction zone these days! Thanks for watching, Alex. 🤗💛
Kitchen looks fantastic, as usual, great job you two.
Watching you guys make that cabin into a beautiful home is therapeutic. The two of you inspire me. I always get up and clean or fix something afterward.
Awh, that's so kind of you to say. Thanks for watching! We're glad we can inspire you to progress with your own odds and ends to get fixed up! 🤗
My goodness, you two are Amazing.
congratulations guys it was a long road getting here but you two overcame so much togather you should be proud of yourselves we are all very proud of you. now springs here so time for the gardens lol love you both
Congrats!!! The island is absolutely beautiful and the slid out dog bowls genius. Podcast absolutely already subscribed. First guests ( I love the vibe) Tyler and Todd! Max and Occy! Eamon and Bec! Isabel Paige, Sharing the Wild. Congrats on everything you’ve overcome and accomplished. Having a functioning kitchen game changer.
You've both really learned a lot. It's nice to see you take on the plumbing job like experienced pros.
Kitchen build! I’m so excited! Happy Sunday all!
Things are coming along nicely. I absolutely love where you put the dog bowls, genius 🤯
So happy for you guys!!! Looks awesome! Love watching what you do next!!
Probably one of THE most satisfying videos you guys have made so far in this journey. Thank you so much for sharing!
Shedding a few tears of joy for you ladies!! You imagined this dream and through your persistent belief in that dream being real, it is manifesting full circle into your world now! What a beautiful accomplishment you two have done for yourselves!! What was once only a house that you dreamed could be a home now is in reality just THAT!! Way to go!!
I very nearly cried happy tears for y'all. Every time I watch one of your videos I come away just so impressed with your strength and determination. Enjoy...you've earned it.
Thanks LeAnna, we so appreciate our community. Thanks for being part of our pack.🌞🐶
so happy to see you girls happy. My heart is so warm. I send you the most loving hug.
Awe Alina, so sweet of you! We work on being happy! Sending a big hug back from the pack.🤗🐶

Y’alls house is getting there it is beautiful and I know you two are so happy and proud. I am so proud for both of you.
Hey Jay, thanks for tuning in. 🌞🐶
Now THAT'S a kitchen ! Nice job ladies !!!
You guys have outdone yourself on the whole property. I'm glad I get to watch it all. Great job my ladies.
That's so kind, Selena! Thanks for watching! 🤗
IT'S YOUR KITCHEN In Those CRATES!!! 🎉 I am so happy for you! The space for Bella and Izzy's dishes is brilliant. I bet they can learn to open the drawer themselves, clever as they are.
Celebrate and ENJOY..
It is a lovely kitchen.
Excellent choice of cabinetry ,big sink (drain hole on the end- bonus points), and light colours
You ladies are indeed fearless. I told my 28 year old daughter about your channel in hopes it will inspire her the way you tackle these things on your own. My only design comment is that the stove is right in front of the window and any time you have the window open while trying to use it you'll find that the gas flames can dance around causing some issues. I tried that once in a kitchen redo and eventually moved it. Can't wait to see what's next!!
I’m so impressed with how far you girls have come. Yay for running water in your kitchen!! You girls should be super proud of yourselves!! ✨
Running water is a game changer. We are so happy with our kitchen. 💛🐶
Oh my gosh, how I love watching you girls build your dream home! Thank you for sharing and teaching us along the way! 🥰👍🥰
Hey Dale, we appreciate you for coming with us on our journey. 💛🐶
The Dog Drawers - I would NEVER have guessed that! MAGIC!!
Congratulations!! The cabinets look great. Even better having a full on kitchen -- making life just a little easier, I hope, for you two.
Thanks Lillian, an absolute game changer for us really. Thanks for watching.💛🐶
My jaw just hit the floor!!!! The placement of the dog bowls is PURE GENIUS!!!!!! That has to be one of the greatest things I've ever seen! Definitely gonna have to remember that when I reno my kitchen!

🎉 congratulations ladies 🎉
Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you so much for that podcast of yours! I haven’t been running by myself in years and somehow felt anxious to do so. Today I woke up, discovered your podcast and took you girls on a 10k run with me. I wanna make your episodes my weekly running routine.
I know I don’t really “know” you girls but you’ve given me so much joy and empowerment over the past years, I’m very thankful for you sharing your life and experiences.
❤️☀️🍀
So happy you liked the podcast! So cool that you have now started your running routine taking us along with you! We love that! We are so honoured to have you in our pack. Our community means so much to us! 💛🐶
Love the kitchen ladies and your joy of it.
Firstly I cant get over how light and bright your cabin is now, such a difference and its beautiful. The dog feeding drawers are such a fantastically brilliant idea, how great are they, especially for a small space. Jazz what an amazing plumber you are, you should be very proud - great work. Crystal love seeing how happy you are with getting the kitchen project started, its really the heart of the home, so I dont blame you at all. Its beautiful, I love the colour and the island is amazing - everything is brilliant well done girls again you are both amazing xx
You ladies cease to amaze me!! Well done. Looking forward to the podcast. Thank you for making me smile so big this afternoon.
Thanks for watching, Tom! We definitely try to keep everyone here smiling. 🤗
Dog bowls!
That's honestly a really good idea, modular and out of the way for when you don't need them, keeps things nice and tidy ^^
I love the way you two Ladies are doing such a ton of your own work , after its done you can be very satisfied and proud of yourselves. I am truly proud to watch all your vidios from when you first started up till now , cant wait for Sunday's !
I love the hidden dog bowls great use of the space to put them away easily when not in use
The kitchen is the most important place in the house ! It's the heart !
Such a great analogy. We love that! We hope your week and kitchen is full of sun and smiles. Thanks for watching, Pierre! 🤗💛
Andy's builds are always beautiful. He's a master. Congrats on the kitchen.
You are so right! We are so grateful that he built our kitchen. He is a master and is so skilled. Shout out to Andy!💛🤩
Congratulations girls!
My wife and I watch you every Sunday from Hammonds Plains.
It sounds weird but we are proud of you both!
Awe thank you. It does not sound weird to us, we feel loved. 💛🐶
So so happy for you all!
Great Job, Ladies!!! So much time laying the groundwork, now things are starting to come together and doesn't it look and feel nice. Your cabin is actually becoming a home which has to feel so good. Kudos!
Thanks for commenting again this week, Sherry! We missed you last week! We're so happy it's becoming a home rather than a construction zone! 🌞💛
Great job and the dog dish slide out drawer is the most amazing idea ever! On a side note check your fridge to see if the door is reversible (most are) so the door opens in towards the wall not the island.
The place is looking amazing! I think everyone will have dog bowls in the island now. Very clever.
I could not tell from the shot but you should put a plumbing vent in under the sink in the drain line. They are super cheap and you can still add one without much more work. It will help drain that big sink when it is full of water and you drain it. You will hear gurgling, bubbling noises if you don't have one and it will take longer to put in. If you plan on putting in a garbage disposal that would be a good time to put the vent.
And we love you too Jaz and Crystal, you should both be rightfully proud of what you have achieved, Jaz summed it up, when she had finished the plumbing, how you had made 11 trips to Lowes in one day when plumbing the van, but the cabin plumbing went so smoothly.I truly think that by tackling these different trades (and stumbling at times) has added to the sense of achievement, each project has added to your list of skills 👏❤️
Thanks for watching and sharing that with us, Bob! 😂
@@Vanwives I just know, that many people would be very cautious of tackling some things, but, not only have you tackled them, you have succeeded, I’m staggered at what you have both achieved ❤️
WOW.. you girls do an amazing job. Your kitchen will look gorgeous once the counter tops are put in. I love that you girls decided to put the sink in the island. You both killed this project!!!
Sending love and paws up ♥️🐾
Need some color contrast in the kitchen. Plans to stain, paint, tile? Wood preservation? Lots of easy, accessible storage. No more cleanup trips to the van. Game changer.
I really like the new kitchen! Check the fridge doors to see if you can reverse the hinges and handles. It would make it a little easier to access!
Well done ladies! You two are so inspiring! I love the difference!
I’m so inspired by you ladies!! I’ve been watching for a few months and already I have a huge tool collection and have made coffee tables for most of my family. A bunch of wooden shelves and signs!! I told my husband I was ready to build a cabin in the woods. He said “ you are not the Van Wives” stick with the shelves for now!! At first I was mad but he is right. I can’t build a cabin. At least right now but soon I will build a cabin!!
The level of energy is great and I also really love the background music.
Hey Klarissa, thanks for tuning in.🤩🐶
I believe you two girls can do just about anything you want. Great job
That's so kind, thanks for sharing that with us Donna! We believe that as long as you have your community with you and are driven to progress, all things are possible! 🤠
❤🎉🎉🎉 totally cool ladies. Awesome job I can’t wait to see the countertops you got. I love the shelves. Have a super week. See you next week. Much love Mike, Maddie, and Miley.🐾🐾
Sending love back from our pack to all of your pack. 💛🐶
House is almost unrecognizable. But that is the idea when you are remodeling. Great work!
Thanks for watching, Michael. You're so right, even we're shocked. 🤗
You both are doing an amazing job on all projects that you work on. I look forward to seeing your kitchen completed. 😀
Wow! You ladies are on point! Doing it for yourselves. I like that you both seem to have perfected certain skills and are a great team!! Outstanding. Maybe you should start a building business😊
Hey Rita, thanks you for your sweet words. We are happy to have you in our pack. 💛🐶
@vanwives Ladies!!! This is probably my favorite video y’all have posted to date! We can actually feel your pure happiness and joy! Love it 😍
Aww we love it when that happens! We are so grateful to have you in our pack Alisa.💛🐶
