Hola Amigees! We can't believe it's taken us this long to visit Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We almost decided not to make the journey and we're so thankful something nudged us up this way. While our luck with the weather has proven to be one of our largest challenges several weeks into #vanlife, we've decided to make the most of what we've got and make some memories regardless. Join us while we make a very muddy trek to the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore and take in the views of beautiful lake superior from Chapel Rock. Life is good. ↡↡OUR COMPLETE VAN BUILD GUIDE IS FOR SALE↡↡ ➳ https://bit.ly/vanbuildguide ➾We participate in the Amazon Influencer Program and others affiliate programs listed below.

Be mindful of what you manifest! This week I jokingly told Mariajosé "we should go skydiving here in San Diego." One of the first conversations that happened after that was started by our friends who had been planning a skydiving trip within the next two days... I'm not scared of heights, planes, much of anything, but I've never seen the point of jumping out of a perfectly operational aircraft. Jokes on me though!

In most school bus to tiny home conversions people install plank wood or tongue and groove ceilings. This is for simplicity sake as well as aesthetics, but it's something we've seen too often in builds and we wanted to try our part to move away from that trend. In this video we're correcting an issue with our back windows, finding a good way to black out the lower sections that will be hidden behind walls, and then making sure all of our wall and ceiling seams are both sealed and smoothed. We're using body filler (Bondo as a proprietary eponym) to give us the best shot at a crack free finish, long term. We're also attempting to tackle an issue with wood walls in builds, and that is making them as smooth as sheetrock, without the negative effects you'd encounter with having sheetrock in a bus conversion (seriously just don't do it), by using Homax wall texture. We're trying to incorporate a little more of our day to day lives in our videos again at this point to circle back to you, our core audience, as we've never intended to be an educational or best practice build channel.
