    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Kasie, Nathan and Rory (the cat) have been living the tiny life adventure for two months in their Promaster van that they converted themselves. Armed with HomeDepot, CZcams and Amazon, this self described "frugal" couple created their perfect space and included all the necessities. Kasie loved a pull out pantry and was a must for her new kitchen, and the shower/toilet area is perfect for their tiny space. One of most creative areas is Rory's "private area" that was built by Kasie, its a must see. Even though they have only planned to travel for one year right now, we see a long life on the road for these two! Congrats

So many carpenters I work with are frustrated at chalenges. What make van are you converting? Years ago I remember seeing templates for wallpanels. It would be best to see in your head exactly what you want, better yet to draw it. And have a budget.

  • @maobfh
    @maobfh Před 3 lety +18

    fantastic build! The only thing that I would do different is the plants and only because you are thinking of getting rid of them. Tapered pots simply a problem in a van unless they are unbreakable and rest in the sink when traveling. Using a canning jar that is close in size will allow you to put them in from the bottom (jar neck up into the wood platform) and use the lid band to hold them steady. They won't fall out or bounce out and if they are loose causing them to sway enough to hit each other, a strap or rubber band where the neck is seated at the wood would stop that. The lid band needs to be wider than the opening to keep them seated. Cacti get as big as the root system. When the roots fills the pot, the cacti will grow to that size and stop. When root bound, they must be repotted into a larger pot or they will die. Because you cook so much in the van, why not grow some herbs and spices? You can plant 2 or 3_different herbs in on jar. Some rosemary looks and smells great, nasturtiums are pretty flowers that look great in the pot and on the plate and a great pepper taste. Cilantro? Chives?

    Love everything about this build ! I was wondering how the cat would go to the bathroom if the door was shut and thought that the split curtain was such a smart idea! First time Iv seen that. This van has everything you need. Hot shower, fridge, sink, counter space, storage, a toilet, good size bed, and a dining area! Absolutely excellent .
