Yes, we have bath and body works here too. The only thing I buy there is unscented Shea butter soap. They look at me like I'm from another planet when I rush in and out. 😁
Seriously you're so lucky you weren't in the middle of nowhere when you started having an appendicitis! People can still die when they don't get help with that really bad pain, the appendix can burst and that is life threatening! So I look at it as lucky not cursed, lol! Hope you're feeling so much better! All the best to you both! When it's time for you to travel you will have the best time!! ❤😊❤
The way you were wincing while walking and getting into your car, I immediately thought it would be appendicitis… I had it while I was traveling in Spain as a teenager and it was soooo painful. I also had emergency surgery and was glad I had travel insurance. Glad your nurse friend told you to go in and that you caught it in time!
Colin you should have came with us, we tailgated trains in Smithfalls, RUclipsr meet up, good luck on your adventure, we watched trains all day , have fun Colin and Page
VanWives will always be there for your trip out EAST......Glad to see the checklist is complete with organ removal ( Whoa)...lol Got to know your channel through your time with the Vanwives and your awesome photography work!!! Loved your gift to the girls when you departed (OMG), looking forward to whats on the horizon for you two beautiful people!! Cheers, B ....cant wait to see your re union with the Vanwives when the van is all done!! Cheers, B (1000 islands ontario)
First I’m glad you are ok. Second trip fail…ouch so sorry. The timing on your floor video was perfect. We were going to use Lonridge flooring until the only dealer wanted to charge me $200 shipping and then another $300 on top of that as a surcharge because it was 8’ wide. Came out to over $1600. So instead we went to Home Depot this weekend and got the same flooring as you in just a slightly different shade. Still on the white side and we also said it gives us the beach house vibe. Enjoying your build.
Thanks Brandon! In hindsight, I may would have considered only flooring the walkable/seen space in the fan instead of the whole thing/whole floor, as it may be difficult for us to change a board out in the future 😬 something to think about before you install!
I am so proud of you and Paige for doing it !!! Everything is always easier the second time you do it. Or the third. The operation you had is the only time for that.. I'm so glad you made it in time and you are doing well. You 2 are in for a wonderful time with the van and traveling where you feel like it. I'll be watching more of the older videos and of course the new ones. Again, I am so happy for you and Paige.
Oh my goodness colin, I'm so sorry but I'm also really really glad that you caught that before it got really bad that's great that you listened to your body and your lady is so cool don't worry it's in due time that you'll make it up to jazz and crystals can't wait to see you finally get up there but in time take your time on this build you want to do it one time and one time only and do it right where it's safe take it from the ladies and the other people that I know we follow and van life you've got to make it comfortable and safe and more than ever you got to make it livable so with that being said I wish you the best on healing take care can't wait till next week always out here in northern California....
Thanks so much Lisa! There is always silver linings to everything, and we do a pretty good job rolling with the punches. Appreciate you being here with us 💛
Hy Colin and Paige..man you using a walker was witty.... you've already packed what seems like a year in of renovation in a short time...😆... I think the new name of van is..sannavah!! Glad you're on the mend..🤒
Hey Colin and Paige, it has been a while since I’ve watched a young, eager couple tackle a van build. When I started the video, I got B&E, C(now N)&A, etc vibes. But as it went along, your personalities began to shine through and I’m eager to see your progress. I love parents on videos (hi Dale, glad to learn you’re feeling better) and I’m glad you had a good support system when your organ started acting up. See you next time, be well.
Your van is coming along. There is always a reason for the delays. We forget that sometimes. We get caught up on the doing, and when we are waylaid we think it is a bad thing. The van having something wrong was bad, but good because you were close to home for the breakdown. You missing all the fun on this trip was bad, but good because you were close to home. Doctors near and you were near home to recover. You will get there. Kay
Thanks so much Kay! There is always a silver lining, we are quite patient and understanding, as life gives us curve balls. It's why I think van life will be just fine for us 💛✌️
Sorry you had to postpone your trip but super glad you were near a hospital in your own province. (Outta town med in Canada can be expensive.) Good vid as always. See you next time!
Hey Colin. Get well soon. I hate when life gets in the way, but you are young and it will happen. Dads are great aren’t they? I love doing projects with my boys! Thanks.
Thanks Chris! My dad has been battling his own health journey and he's feeling good as of late, so he was so stoked to finally come help. Thanks for being here 💛
Colin I'm so sorry to hear about your surgery you guy's are awesome never give up on your dream it will happen good things happen to good people like you both ❤️
That's very sweet Diane, thank-you 💛 We won't give up, we are good at rolling with the punches and accepting what is - we will get there! Thanks for being here!
Keep trying never give up on your dreams ❤️❤️❤️❤️So happy to see you recovering 💞💕 Passé I know but slow and steady wins the race love to both👍👍👍 Looking forward to your next video 👏👏👏👏👏
The steak did it! Glad you’ve recovered. The step-by-step of your van build is really interesting. Love the floor. And the wool insulation is interesting. Just wondering if it will get musty at some point.
I know this video was posted over a year ago, but I just want to point out that Bath & Body Works is also in the United States, where they were originally founded in New Albany, Ohio in 1990.
Damn, that's one way to get out of work lol. Seriously though I hope your recovery is quick and you guys can progress with the build. Take care and thanks for the update.
Thank-you! Well, we had a planned vacation, so recovery was during our vacation time then went straight back to our jobs 😂 we will get there soon, thanks for being here!
You are doing a fantastic documentary of what a capitalist society needs to evolve into this environmentale hell that your young educated future society is facing. I'm just a retired Peace & Love era of time left.
Dude! Appendicitis is no joke! I had mine out at age 60. Not a usual occurrence at that age. Glad you're on the mend but bummed you didn't make your trip. You guys are so cute. Can't wait for the next vid!!
So sorry you had to have your appendix removed, but just tell everyone you wanted to save on fuel costs by getting rid of the unneccesary! Glad you're ok and so happy to see you two on RUclips again! XOXO!
Just found you guys. You both present very well and make your videos a lot of fun. And, btw, agree 100% about the Bath and Body Works comment. The one store I just can't stand to go into.
I'm glad to see you're feeling better and your band is looking good I'm so glad you guys are taking your time and do it properly so many times kids your age just want to hurry up and get it done and that's when things go horribly wrong LOL can't wait to see you next week video
Thanks for being here Jess! Yes you're right, we don't sweat the small stuff but we are investing a lot of money into the van, might as well do it right! Which is why we have some help for some of the more difficult parts. See you next video ✌️💛
@@colinandpaige you're right if you're going to pour that much money into something you should do it right and I'm glad you have some help with the big stuff 😁
@@colinandpaige someday when my almost 5 year old child is a little bit bigger and can handle longer road trips he's severely autistic we plan on buying a short school bus or a shuttle bus and converting it into an RV so that we can travel too and that's one reason I watch all these van videos so that I can learn by watching and get ideas I keep notes in detail but I'm also always on the lookout for like a small RV because I come from a long line of gypsies and Farmers but I definitely have the Gypsy soul and I am craving to go places but because he's not ready my little guy we are stationary and that's okay because he comes first anyway happy travels it looks good so happy for you guys and thanks because now I'm hungry for a steak 😂😂😂
Did you seal those holes for ladder? Prevent it from rusting? You should use some untirustingshit for every hole expose outdoors. I did not on my fence (because I was lazy :D ) and it was a mistake. Now I have to sand and paint again.... Just after one summer. 🤦♀️
Glad your appendix didn’t burst. Be thankful this happened before and not during the trip to Nova Scotia. What is the purpose of that organ anyway? I had mine remove when I was 7 and haven’t missed it 😂😂You made great progress on the van build. One step at a time…….you’ll get there.
Don't scare me like that!!! This 60 year old almost had a heart attack, thought you chopped off a finger or something 😀. Things happen for a reason. Hope while recovering you did a check list. And rechecked it. Maybe came up with improvements. Just glad to see a video 😀
We ended up doing that, but the wool is extremely fragile and non ridged so it would fall off - so it ended up being a combination of both lol! It worked well for the sides tho ☺️
@@colinandpaige 🙀 indeed! On another note, it’s a blessing that your burst appendix was caught in time! And you have a very cool scar to share. One other thing, for all things van building, check out Humble Road on RUclips. George the van builder, (ex professional still photographer) has a lot of really great information and suggestions. While van building is his business, you might find some useful suggestions for your own build. ( no need to reinvent the wheel, eh?) Like your dad, many of us Baby Boomers, are good for something’s. 😉☺️🌟💓🫶🦋
Sure, you can remove a wheelchair lift by yourself, but you can't remove your own appendix? I am so disappointed. Seriously, glad to see that you are on the mend, and keep rolling, you will get that first trip in soon.
Get well Soon!!! You guys are coming along so well, don't let it get you down. Sometimes God will intervene because it could have been an accident or something else, in your appendix was the reason! I could imagine you on the road Collin and have that happen! Take your time, there will be other get together a you both can enjoy. Great video 💞
From laughing to crying. We missed having you both at the cabin. Here to next time ❤ Love you all xx
Love you both. It won't happen a third time, right? RIGHT? 😂💛

Ahhh what an amazing video!! We missed you at the cabin. Can’t wait until the day we can all be there - it will be that much more special 🧡
Awhhh thanks ladies! Disappointed to miss it, but happy to be close to home when it happened! Let's get together soon 💛

If the Insulation attacks moisture will it grow mold? Will it way more 2/2 water content
It captures the moisture, then let's it go! So it's actively managing the moisture for us ☺️
Why didn't you use just spray adhesive to attach the wool to the ceiling? You don't need tape or string.
