    The most important part is to enjoy yourself, be happy and stay healthy.
    You guys are great so don’t beat yourselves up and put unwanted pressure on yourselves.
    Hopefully we will see you at CFC 2025.

    My comment is like most of the comments I read, that we will enjoy what you put out in whatever timeframe it occurs. My mates and I tend to push life hard with work and projects, and a couple of them hit the wall big time in the last year and it is not pretty. Hats off to you both for admitting to yourselves that somethings have to slide at times to stay the course. All the best.

    Hi guys just watched your episode Caravan Reno Q&A.
    Regards to a composting toilets, there is no poo smell from the poop box, it smells like dirt. You do need to empty the pee bottle more often. If you are off grid you can tip the pee anywhere in the bush, I usually put a little bit of thetford toilet stuff in it to keep the bottle smelling clean and when you tip it out where you tip it doesn’t smell like pee. When you empty the poop box depending on the type you can put a garbage bag over the top and tip it in, in the van or behind the van. If you are in the bush go for a walk and empty in the bush, you can dig a hole if you wanted to. Just remember to think of other people. It truly doesn’t smell like poop, it does smell like dirt, just like compost dirt. So in the future it could be a much healthier way to go. No raw sewage in your van. 😃

    @Blackstump60 Před 2 měsíci

    7:29 I started renovating a van years ago and gave up once I pulled the beds out. First time and I didn’t realise that they’re built from the inside out!! I’ve towed it up the paddock to wait till I figure out what I’m going to do.
    You guys are doing a great job and must be awesome to have that shed. Thanks.

    • @nowornever_aus

    @davekerr8133 Před 2 měsíci

    Don't try & cram too much into your days guys. I've been there, done that, and after a complete burnout/ breakdown, it took some time to get over it.
    It's all about priorities & having an extended timeline written down. A timeline that's achievable without tight time constraints. I've only recently started following you, and like other folk, I want to keep following you. Love & look after each other. 😊

  • @anitaneat1010
    @anitaneat1010 Před 2 měsíci

  • @8873kym
    @8873kym Před 2 měsíci +1

    As a chippie/builder myself I can totally relate. You always put family first and in our minds money is our motivation. You guys do great content and seem watchable which is the reason I watch and follow. There will be a point in the near future where you take the plunge and rely on making videos for an audience or community that enjoy it and decide to do that full time as an income.

  • @michaeldallimore8590
    @michaeldallimore8590 Před 2 měsíci

    Take your time. Happy to watch whenever a video comes out. In a way absence makes the heart grow fonder! Audio sounds fine. Always did for me anyway.

  • @intersepter100
    @intersepter100 Před 2 měsíci

  • @gregthornton3125
    @gregthornton3125 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Hi guys. I though of an idea after watching your last video. To solve the tunnel boot access problem, would you be able to attach the box you are adding without a back in it and also leave that section of the van opening up into the box? Seal both together as one large storage area. You can the make access to both through the front of the box. Don't put your gas cylinders in there though.
    Cheers
    Greg

Highlights of the last few years from your first video to now. May need two parts but would be good to see. Love learning and watching the reno but easy to sit on the couch and watch. Appreciate you guys and looking forward to seeing you back on the road.

    Hi from New Zealand. Yes sometimes you have to pace your lives. I am enjoying your videos, It is interesting seeing your caravan renovations. We are shortly going to visit your great country. Have you got some highlights that we should do in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. We are 57 only want to walk 10kms a day and we don't drink alcohol. Your reply is Important to me. Thanks for your reply Jono P

  • @nicolemitchell446
    @nicolemitchell446 Před 2 měsíci

    Just a thought but I enjoy watching videos of short random clips combined with voice overs. If you have footage that didn’t make it into other videos because it had bad audio or didn’t seem long enough or show enough detail etc like a behind the scenes or outtakes with some lighthearted commentary? I don’t know how much work it is to edit together something like this but it was just a thought. I imagine there would be a lot of extra footage that doesn’t make it into your usual videos? No pressure of course. Take care

    • @nicolemitchell446
      @nicolemitchell446 Před 2 měsíci

      Or perhaps even better/easier, selected clips from your past build videos with new commentary on what you would do differently now in hindsight or what you think of various products or techniques you used and how they performed or held up over time etc like an update. Don’t even listen to the old audio or worry if you are saying similar stuff to the original video. Just keep it lighthearted with your honest reactions to watching the old footage. I think it would be very entertaining and you have a couple of renos completed now and your trips. You could edit together parts of different videos from each of those series and make a new fresh video for each one? Again, just my thoughts, as the dad from that movie The Castle would say ‘he’s an ideas man!’

    Now and again take a holiday from everything and recharge with family. Get some rest it will refocus you.
    Family time is number #1 thing. You only have the kids for 18yrs each so you have about 8yrs to go with them.
    Take a break, go have a date night.
