    Levi, your parents are amazing. From your dad's tiny model to plan the process, to your mom's whimsy in running to test the lights... Adorable! 😊

      We couldn't have done it without them that's for sure! 😂🙏🏻

    I think my worry now is once the interior is framed out and the sides become more rigid you may loose the flexibility that let it squeeze in the door.

    • @LeahandLevi
      @LeahandLevi  Před 8 měsíci +8

      Ohhhhhhh yeah were talking about that. We might have to get even more creative to reverse this job.

    This is the most unhinged DIY project I've ever seen 😂😂 and I'm here for it! Your parents' perseverance and grit are amazing to see and reminds me of my own parents. No problem that can't be solved! You'll make great memories through this project and with your dad on the job, this is going to turn out so unique and beautiful ❤ Good luck!

    Leah did a great job on the sponsorship this week.

    I love your dad’s ‘can-do” attitude to problem-solving. I mean, he sawed the jambs off of his shop doorway to get that trailer in there!

  • @lindatait5326
    @lindatait5326 Před 8 měsíci +16

    Is it actually possible to phase your Dad? He and your Mum are the most chill people I’ve ever seen (glad his moustache is temporary though). Leah should do more of your sponsored sections, that was hilarious 🤣. Good luck and love to you all xxxxx

  • @donzinette
    @donzinette Před 8 měsíci +21

    Wow, this was impressive. You did a reverse birth with the trailer to get it into Guy and Jean's garage. So good to see James and Donna Lace in great form too. What a colossal project here Levi. Also, love Leah's advertising back home - so much fun.

    Watching you & your parents in the NW environment is a lot like I remember going to the Minnesota north woods to do projects with a friend & their parents. Such wholesome memories & experiences that build character and relationships!

    @AdventureOtaku Před 8 měsíci +4

    It totally doesn’t matter that there is snow in the trailer. At this point you could leave it outside through the winter with both vent fans removed. The only thing left in the trailer is the subfloor, which you are going to replace anyway. It is a fiberglass shell. It’ll be fine.

  • @Sophie-kn3gh
    @Sophie-kn3gh Před 8 měsíci +2

    Truearth laundry strips are great! I have used them for over a year. I typically only use half a strip for full loads. I will occasionally add some laundry booster if it’s a really dirty load.

  • @hausofstructure8705

    Watching you all try to bring the trailer into the garage is reminding me of when my brother couldn’t fit his couch through the front door so my brother-in-law took the frame off the door to make it work. Watching your whole process here is impressive!

    I was holding my breath watching that camper scooch in!
    On the diaper rash: if you have a compounding pharmacy, my ob/gyn would send off an order for Dr-something’s diaper cream. I know it had Maalox and an antifungal in the preparation and was absolutely fantastic. I can’t remember because my kids are adults, but I’m sure pharmacists do. ❤

    @adriankung1625 Před 8 měsíci +2

    100% Agree with the A&W -- although the "Beyond" stuff not so much. Leah was obviously having way too much fun with that ad/ sponsorship, lol -- I guess a new Mom is entitled to a little too much wine after going dry for 9 months.
    I'm so jealous of your parents, Levi. The projects I might have dragged them into.... They absolutely rock!
    Looking forward to the rest of this build out!
    Cheers!...from North Vancouver

    This video was -SPECTACULAR! Everything about it from content to editing to Leah’s “infomercial “. I feel like I can guarantee these are memories you will cherish! Thanks so much for sharing. You’ve nailed keeping an “audience” engaged and wanting more! ( and just btw you are all great but can I just say your mom hit it out of the park” !!!)

    Dear Levi, I am so happy to see that you are really invested in the trailer project and are enjoying it and hence are pulling through every challenge coming your way. Above all, my brother, you shall consider studying architecture or engineering - I have come to realise you appreciate technical and mechanical projects.
    Best.

  • @juliaiderberg
    @juliaiderberg Před 8 měsíci +1

    Hi! The diaper rash could be from detergent residue on the cloth diapers, if you’re still using them. We also had a diaper rash that would go away and it stopped when we lowered the amount of laundry detergent and added an extra rinse after every wash. Good luck!

    • @LeahandLevi
      @LeahandLevi  Před 8 měsíci

      We found success with disposables sadly and now we alternate back and forth and it seems to have kept it at bay. But that’s good to know!

    • @juliaiderberg
      @juliaiderberg Před 8 měsíci

      Great that you found something that works for you. Cloth diapering can be a lot, and you have to find something that works for your family. We didn’t do it properly until our baby was a bit older, and we still use disposables at night. Maybe when you have adjusted to parenthood and your new family dynamic you will try cloth diapering again 😊

    Having a new baby is a whole lot. Sometimes it’s better to cut bait and recast. Those old trailers aren’t allowed in USA 🇺🇸 RV parks either bc of insurance. I found out the hard way in my reno.

    So my son also had bad diaper rash that keep coming back. I was Brest feeling and found out he was allergic to fructose.. every time I eat sugar or fruit it would turn into fructose in my milk and then he'd have poop that would make him get really bad during the rash that was like burning his skin...
