Melissa also mentioned that she was glad I interjected otherwise she would not necessarily have known what direction to go. Thank you for being here and taking the time to write a very kind comment. I appreciate you!❤️

  • @abyssalsoul6216
    @abyssalsoul6216 Год назад +3

    I see how she makes her coffee. She stays in one position , sitting on the bed and everything is in reach. Now that is being efficient and I am sure it took a few trial runs to get to that point. You certainly don"t want to be moving around especially when there is a pot on the burner coz one bad move could ruin your day. When I am boiling water all eyes are on the pot till it is finished. No distractions for me especially when there is an open flame in the van. It is good to be organized and I certainly , with each trip, fine tune where things are placed till it becomes second nature. Keys go here, my glasses go here when I am going to bed and so forth.We all have our mojo. Congrats on your build, you parents did great!

    This is the nicest minivan buildout I've seen. I missed though, did she say anything about a cooler or a minifridge? I'd probably need that. But this is absolutely ideal in every way, including aesthetically which I do find important as well as organization, etc. Edited to add, that's right, the front footwell! My husband and I used to have a 12 volt plug-in car cooler, very useful for camping and road trips. Awesome! I love it that she has a bugout bag too. I'm going to have to research the foldaway potty thing she mentioned, most interesting.
