I love your attitude when faced with challenges. No crying or whining - you just figure out how you need to solve problem and just do it! Kudos to you both (and Frank)!
You can always see the love that Allie has for Trent when she’s looking at him with such loving eyes, tells of the deep relationship & security she has with him.
You know what I love about you two is that even in frustration you both keep a good sense of humor. Loved the Frank hair.
I noticed Trent seems really relaxed and in his groove even in the beginning of this video and you guys seem to really be in symbiosis even more. Your videos are great and I really enjoy them! Thanks for putting them out!
My 2 year old is laying on me watching and she said mommy she’ pretty soooo pretty 🥰
My 11 year old begs me to get a van and ya go live in it she’s watched this channel with me a lot and others and she LOVES the idea I do to and would in a heart beat if I didn’t have to take care of my grandpa...
Brittany Nicole She’s way, way more gorgeous than I think she’ll probably ever realize. She’s a stunner for sure!
Brittany House,
"... soooo pretty"
Kids KNOW these things. I think a lot of that is from Allie's attitude, as much as her physical appearance.
So cheerful in conditions and situations that would stress most people into looking ugly even if they normally weren't. ( 3:40 ) ( 5:18 )
That's probably also a requirement for succeeding at living any length of time in such a tiny space, especially with any other person, and a dog. Trent seems to be deserving of her, too. Great couple.
Frank sniffing the espresso machine was the cutest thing ever! He says "gib me all da coffee!!!"
As long as there is still room for the coffee maker!
His eyes! Hysterical
@@lindacianchetti3599 right!? His eyes were soooooo big!
Haha- he yearns for coffee like me- haha!!!!
Well done 👍
Frank...priceless!
Ya’ll kicked butt on that reno! Best quote ever, “not even hoping that it’s easy, we’re just hoping that it’s possible.”
Trent, for your bench cushion that you find too thick, just have a thinner pad made up instead of making a whole lotta work for yourself adding to your floor or re-doing the bench etc. Also, for your spice rack, re-create it where you indicated on that blank section of wall beside the stove. You could possibly even make it wider. Another suggesstion for miscellaneous 'stuff', in to get hanging mesh bags that you can hang with suction cups or tacs, or 'commander' strips with the hooks. dollar stores are usually pretty good with stuff like that. I enjoy your travels and wonder if I would be as brave if I was your age, living in these times. Your endless patience and sense of adventure and your endless positivity are such admirable qualities. Trent, you are a wizard with the tools, awesome skills to have!! Love Frank, cool dog. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up kids.
You two are so cute when you're DIY-ing! I'd be cursing and getting in a bad mood, especially in that heat and humidity! Lovely to watch x
Want to find out if you are truly compatible with someone? Do a project in a tiny space in extreme heat. You two are couple goals.
Allie: "power station"
all men: "COMMAND CENTER!" lol
I absolutely love the chemistry you share together and with the world! You make me smile on a hard day and inspire me!!!
That's one of the best things about some of the DIY stores - cut to size for a minimum or no charge! They started doing that as a carry-over from the old hardware stores where the did that as a help to those who didn't own tools or had the experience! Nicely done Mr Trent & Ms Allie! 🙌🏻
I love you guys!! You make me laugh and smile so much, sometimes my face hurts from smiling at your videos!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤗😊☺😍
Your can do easy going attitudes are very uplifting!!
Thank you!!! 🤗🤟🤗🤟😊🤟
Allie, don't worry, words are hard sometimes. We still love you!
You two are adorable. The actual cutest.
Love that you donated the fridge ✌️
The look on Frank’s face when he was smelling the espresso machine is great! Nice video!!
EXXXPRESSSSOOOO machine
Love the look of Frank's eyes during this video
Just saw that Trent is drinking Fresca, oh we love it! We spent four months in Central America and miss it, and not only Fresca 😁
I love how your fiance is 70% confident, but his demeanor to face the task makes it 100%. How funny, you didn't empty the fridge. I love it. We are not alone. My husband and I did stuff like that. Later you will laugh about this, much later. Yall are too cute together.
Trent YOU ARE THE MANNNNNN!!!!!
With YOUR LOVABLE!!!
CEO! MGR! BOSS LADY🤗🥰👍
Best line in the video: "The fridge is super full of Fridge!". Nice work Allie!
You go guys! Sharp work😀
Franks mad cow eye while snugged up sniffin' the espresso machine totally cracked me up!
The first thing I thought of for the void you have on top of the fridge was, that is the perfect space for a drawer for your spices! A good fix for the spice rack issues you currently have. Great work, though...looks like hot work 🔥😓
You are an amazing team 😊 I love the way you work together and your upbeat attitude is terrific.
Super renovation. Stay safe 😘
Mary Poppins reference on the fly! You have my utmost respect Sir! :))) You guys are like a sunshine sneaking through thick clouds! :)
Trent, please tell us you put something in to keep stuff from falling behind the fridge from the new shelf above the fridge. I thought I saw charge cables, and I figure they'd have a life expectancy of half a mile before they move to their new permanent home on the floor behind the fridge
Yeah there is a catch in the back haha 😏
You are lucky to have a very handy man! Trent you are lucky to have a supportive lady!
I sincerely love your videos and you two. You are an inspiration ... not just in vanning, but in simplicity, working together, fulfillment, ... so many things. It's an awesome reminder to really live life.
There are Do-It Centers in Iowa. They do have lumber yards here. Small town hardware store.
You two are killing me! I am so envious of your youth and vitality! I wish more young people were like you two. So well grounded, and well balanced! Amazing!! Two thumbs up!!
Thanks Bobby
Ha! I got to be like number 5! I don’t know why that made me happy! Ah.. it’s the lil things! Enjoy your new fridge! We are in the process of looking for a new one for our monster of an RV! Stay safe!! Love from the Pacific Northwest!
Great job (and the cameo appearance of Frank was nice too). I think my first step when removing the fridge would have been to remove the door. But...I've moved many, many heavy things during our frequent house moves so I have always removed doors, drawers, etc. to make something lighter (especially because the move always seemed to be up at least one flight of stairs, ha). Nice fridge.
We have the same 12 volt fridge and we love ours. It was a good idea to upgrade yours to regulate the temps since the places you travel to are so hot. The only drawback is the freezer compartment is small. We can put a couple of packs of meat and maybe two or three packs of frozen veggies, and that’s it. The whole fridge will hold a weeks worth of food. That works for us, hopefully for you too.
Trent has some wicked skills. Love the way you guys work so well together.
Funny my dad owned a DoIt Center in Pennsylvania back in the 80's we had everything..... I hated inventory time!!
Was gonna say, there's still a DoIt Center near my hometown in PA - pretty sure they predate Home Depot.
@@moarsaur In state college... our store was doing OK until Home Depot AND Lowes came in. My dad switched his supplier to ACE but we still could not compete, so he liquidated and retired. Then a Couple years later the local paper wrote an article on how the mom and pop stores were sorely missed due to lack of knowledge and customer service they had VS the big box stores. You know.... you hear it everyday.
Endy,
"... mom and pop stores were sorely missed..."
All the customers who thought lower prices were all that mattered took the "knowledge and customer service" for granted and didn't miss their water 'til the well went dry.
Now they are also coming to understand the "no free lunch" rule. There is a cost to exporting so much of our manufacturing capacity to other countries just to get the lowest unit price. I hope everyone is learning from what is going on and looking at more than just price tags from now on. Too late to help your dad, but at least he got to retire before all the looting and arson going on everywhere these days.
Great job guys! The van looks awesome! I loved hearing the rain at the end of the video, it made everything seem even more cosy! Love and blessings Jackiex ❤️🔨❤️🚐❤️ xxxx
McGyver & Allie are back at it ! 😁
Yes!! Hopped on RUclips at just the right time!!
Lots of accomplishments, bet you feel better. I always do after I finish a project.
Don Wolf succeeded Gerberding and opened HWI's (Do It Best)first distribution center outside of Fort Wayne in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Today, there are eight centers located across the US as well as five regional lumber offices. Wolf also launched the Do it center® store design concept, which aimed to modernize the hardware shopping experience with more consumer-friendly colors and signage.
Congrat's I really enjoyed watching THAT Vid..Great Job well done Trent!
"70% sure" 😁 Too funny !!! Looks great guys,,,,, bravo !!! Glad you have that task behind ya.
Take care,,,, safe travels ya'll !!!
"Whaddya want?" xD
MrMike47274,
"70%" ( 2:05 )
Honesty is so refreshing. Any time any guy says "Oh, for sure. No problem", you know it is time to worry.
@@ArcoZakus 👍👍😁 Very well spoken !!
this was such a FUN video to watch... you guys rock💛.... i was like .."sing Trent" LOL..
Your attitudes towards each other and projects are an inspiration to all. You both making the journey of life and relationships fun and stress free. Is that just video editing or real life? Frank’s eyes and the coffee moment.priceless.
It’s real life!! 😊
Looks great guys!! Good work!! Frank was adorable as always 😊💜
Yes!! Friday morning complete!!
What she said...
Beautiful work & excellent teamwork guys!! Lookin' good~~Happy Trails~~Love & Peace~~God Bless~~
Again you tackle another problem and maintain your positive outlook through the adversity. Just love it! I may try this lifestyle when all else fail...hope my van is as effecient. God bless.
nice change to better organization for Allie and I am happy Trent is happy!
I don’t know which was funnier: Frank sniffing and rolling his eyes, or Trent swanning around in his Golden Girls hat!
Great upgrade and video you guys...and Frank is just priceless smelling your expresso machine! 😂👍💖
Your fire extinguishers should be by the door. In an emergency, you head for the exit and decide *IF* you can fight the fire.
Very cool! Always fun to get new and better appliances!
Love the way you two mesh so well together. Love your videos
Great stuff, thanks for posting!
You guys are so awesome. You just smile and go with it. That is a fabulous quality to have in your outlook. It makes me want to be like that
You guys are so great! Most competent van people I’ve seen ........
Wow, Allie, Trent is the BOMB! I wish my husband had his skills to build. 🧰🔧🔨🛠⚙️🔩🧰🔧🔨🔧🔨🔧🔨
Nice work, two of the 5 hate things off the list!!
Watching old T&A vids in July 2021. Trent’s straw hat, “I’ll be wearing it again”. 😂
You’re awesome doing all that work on the road. Your positive vibes are always encouraging though! Yeah, I try to keep my inverter off as much as I can so I 12 volt whatever I can. And yay for Frank showing some love for the exx.. wait espresso machine!
Great job! The “super fridge MARY Poppins” moment totally made me LOL. 🤣
Ali’s voice when Trent said 70% 😂😂😂 lmao! I love the closet switchup
Loved seeing Trent do the 'fridge dance' when you sped up the video. XD
This was very helpful! Thanks! It also shows sometimes you actually have to do renos on the road! Who knew?!
You two are ambitious & in another country, WOW!
The spice rack! I've got an idea….let the cover plate of the cooker tilt to the right, make a support under the piece of countertop and voila, you have extra work space when cooking! The disadvantage is that no one can sit at the moment you cook .... but well .... Trent is still peeling potatoes on the other side ;)
Always a great vibe to your videos.
I hope you have something on the sides and the back of your new fridge to keep stuff from falling down the side and or behind it,,,, just thinken
Awesome job guys!
Yay!!! It's done :-). Thats got to be a relief having finished and got everything put back. Thanks for sharing, amazing what can be done on the road!
Bought your cookbook and YUMMY!!!! Those enchiladas are AMAZING!!!
That was amazing! And you both kept your scenes with humor 😁😉🙃🙂
Nice improvement, gives U guys peace of mind on keeping food cold and fresh!
Are you happy? 😉 I'm glad you're both happy! Looks great! Love the new fridge!
You two are so awesome. I hope that our boys learn from you! They follow you!
Nice upgrades guys! Trent, is there anything you can't do?! I was wondering though if there's not a way to move the spices before you leave for South America? Then you could just put little things you don't need often in the old one? I'm sure it would make Allie a happy camper (literally haha)!
Love this! Way to go Trent and Allie!
My blues healer pup loved me 14 years. Love seein this breed of dog.
Great job on the fridge upgrade guys.You should have taken the fridge door off first, before trying to get it out of the van but,you guys did it,your a great team.keep the adventures coming,Thanks.
Yeah. I'm happy for you guys. I never doubted for a second that you 2 can't and won't accomplish anything you set your minds to. God Bless. Be safe.💜❤
You’re too sweet 😇 thank you
This might have been mention already but in case it wasn't the Do it center is actually part of the Do it best corporation which is a member-owned co-op retail store that is like Home depot and Lowes that has been around since 1945 which makes it older than Home Depot but younger than Lowes. There are thousands of stores in the US around the world.
You should have put a pull out spice tray/rack where you put your laptops. Easy access. As my chef son says you should practice “mise en place”. Everything in its place. In other words: measure out all ur spices and prep your veggies BEFORE you start cooking.
Yay! New and efficient fridge! Good job you two!
keep the coil clean on the fridge and it will be more efficient and run colder nice job on the install great team work
Great! Looking forward to hearing how you like it!!! Great job! Inspiring!
This video is super full of fridge!!!… Ha ha… I want you guys to move into my house for two months and build me a new kitchen… Free room and board… Lots of laughs… Ha ha… Continue to have a great time traveling!!!!..❤️
Smart move doing repairs and upgrades before your next adventure South. Enjoyed watching. 😎
You guys are great! Love how you interact with each other thru life.♥️
I'm still laughing at that super full of fridge, hahahaha.
So much so, it's hard to get out.
My fridge is full of fridge also. *:D*
@@micahmitchell517 -- so where do you keep the refer?
@@Nic7320 Nah, I'm not telling where I keep my stash. Never know who's DEA.
@@micahmitchell517
Aww man, don't fear the Reefer! XD
Excellent work! Well done and looks nicely finished!
Love it!
Way to improvise guys! Loved the vid! I vote for the foot locker/step.
Lol you nailed it about leaving stuff on the counter top in Utah lol but snowbasin did get snow and today was like 56 so it’s starting to get cold
Wow. What an awesome makeover. I love it. You must be so happy. Awesome
These kinds of videos are so satisfying! Loved seeing the video listing the issues and then a video resolving several of them. Very fun to watch!
Love the flipping transitions 👍
I’m sorry to be a party pooper, but....spice rack! Doo eett!
Nice job on everything else though. 👍
Good for you Allie hefting that heavy fridge out of the Van!
Raving positive...... Fun, inspiring! Enjoy your mods
