Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

XO MaCenna is an amazing renovation channel. She has spent the last year totally renovating an old cottage in Texas. There is literally nothing she can't do. She amazes me as she has no training whatsoever and literally googles and KZreads things and teaches herself and then smashes it. She is building an entire kitchen from scratch at the moment, building the kitchen cabinets herself from solid wood. If you watch her channel you will be addicted. Her friend Drew from Lone Fox channel is really good too. He has just bought an old Spanish style house in California and he is renovating it from top to bottom. Both are seriously worth watching if you don't do already.

Happy Thanksgiving to you! You two have worked so hard and so well on your cabin. You so deserve the home to look so nice. Crystal, a little bit of news for your cold sores. I get them too. Do they hurt so bad. I put Polysporin on mine several times a day. They hurt far less and they heal much faster. I used the patches but I also get them in my nose

Chateau Diaries, My Self Reliance, Tyler & Todd, Vanwives.
The unique thing about Vanwives is that the viewer becomes immersed in their personalities. They don't talk at you, but you become the third friend in the room. Their level of comfort is what puts a smile on our faces and a feeling that we belong as their friend which always has the welcome mat out each time you visit their current and historical videos. Love you girls, hugs for Izzy and Bella.😊😊
This old man just loves the two of you and all the amazing work you have done. From beginning to now the progress you have made has been incredible and you should be so proud of what you have accomplished. Little by little your turning your " homestead" into a remarkable place to live. Keep up the great work and cherish the time and love you share. Bless you both with hugs. The old man from Utah.
We just installed 1,000 sq ft of this in our home over the past week or so. We love it and it seems impervious to our dogs running around on it. It's an easy DIY but takes a little patience, as you know, to trim it around doorways and irregular shapes. It's worth the effort!

I've laid thousands of sq ft of tongue and groove flooring. You guys did great! Not only did the purple substrate seem necessary, you'll really be grateful for the extra layer for under-foot feel and insulation. It makes the floor a lot quieter too. Great job on those doorway transitions! 💚

I thought you were saving the inside work for when the weather turns bad. But the weather looked nice and you are inside...which, I think, means that you have finished everything outside that you wanted to get done. I am SO IMPRESSED by that!!! You are not rushing and stressed to get stuff done outside! AMAZING!!!! Ok, those floors are beautiful and already the inside is coming together. It feels like you will be moving so quickly inside. Your home is so beautiful!!! Well done!!! (I am including your whole land in "home", not just the inside of the cabin.)
My husband and I are flooring subcontractors and you ladies killed it!! I couldn't have done it better myself. Looks amazing, well done!

I think I’ve had flooring contractors put down engineered hardwood floors over vinyl flooring and I’ve seen KZreadrs put down vinyl flooring over old vinyl flooring. So I’m wondering if it was really necessary for the girls to pull up the old tiles before they put down the new laminate flooring. Can you enlighten me?
@jimmyjohnstone5878
Жыл бұрын
The new flooring could have been laid over tiles but firstly not all the home had tiles so height would be different, second the tiled areas were damaged in places so again height uneven if wood laid. So, they had to remove. If existing tiles are even, well stuck down to an even height throughout, then the new flooring can be laid on top.
I have almost this exact flooring in my kitchen. It made so much difference compared to the linoleum that was there before. Plus it’s great for dogs, besides the slipping and sliding they sometimes do when they get too excited. Nice job, ladies. Can’t wait to see the rest of the inside come together
I’ve installed tons of engineered flooring and I must say, y’all did a very professional job!! 😊 congratulations!!🎉

OH dear, I almost forgot to wish all four of you "Happy thanksgiving" and just one more thing. In the Bridgewater NS area you could expect the first snowfall by around November 6th and total snow fall over the winter of 79 inches. So get a snow blower or plough for the truck, but I forgot you've got a PORTER, everyone should have a PORTER. Happy Thanksgiving XXX
