Pelican we are in our middle 70 I especially enjoyed watching. My husband and I in 1969 owned a motorhome cab and chassis unit. We lived in it and did it when it was not popular. We are past our prime and probably will not be able to camp and travel. Over a lifetime we've enjoyed what you're enjoying now we will be married 55 years next month unbelievable. I will be three quarters of century old and really enjoy watching you young people build your Vans buses etc and enjoy that life. Congratulations on your marriage I hope you two live a long life together I'm sure you will. You'll be living loving and working together nothing better in life than that!!!!!💕
Thank you for taking time to read my story.
@@lindaconover7245 You sound like you have loads of beautiful memories together. Congratulations on 55 years!
Thank you you're right there are a lot of memories sometimes I need the pictures to remind me what happened as you get older you get some things. You have a great day!
Pelican
What does pelican mean
As a woman who's over 50, you're absolutely right. You can't make those memories again and you want to make them while you're young enough to enjoy them. Good for you for your decision!! Congratulations!! And after the building, many safe and happy travels!!❤❤
You're _always_ young enough to make memories!
I agree Alan 100 % 👍😉🇨🇮☘️Eire
I'm in my 70's and I'm very adventurous and still traveling in my cargo van the I converted into a small RV. SO , I believe your ENTIRE life should be making memories, having fun and being fearless.
Pelican friends!
When I started watching this at 11pm, I had no intention of finishing the whole thing in one go. Yet I found myself in awe, curiosity, and a tiny bit of jealousy (I’m a mother of three young kids, and I’m slowly starting to find me time after 9 years).
Absolutely amazing. You are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey. Travel safe!
I love to hear that! Thanks for watching 😊
PELICAN!!!!
PELICAN!! I don't know how I happened upon you two, but thrilled that I did!! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! Love your new home! Happy Trails!!
I am still waiting on you 2 to start a van life channel since you mainly want this channel to be centered around making. Would be fun to follow along your journey around Canada and the US through vlogs. Showing off places you eat, stay, explore, etc.. Come on you 2... you can do it!
Why couldn’t they post it to this channel because he cant do woodworking on the road.
@burndowntheworld He could but his channel was all about being a maker. So he might want to start a new channel if he wants to do van life travel vlogs. I'm fine either way but he might not want to risk changing up his channel

You can always hand paint the white gap around the window frames with an artist brush.
The finished product looks so great! Plus the fact that Eden starts the video as your fiancé and ends as your wife is beautiful. Congratulations on your newest adoption, the van. Pelican.
I'm 38 minutes in, just wanted to say that I really like you guys a lot! I'm having a blast watching. I dig your personalities and the way you work so great together as a team. Can't wait to see the rest and follow along on your adventures! Thank you so much for sharing the process. :)
Oh! Pelican! And, good Girl! :)
Pelican!!! This is absolutely insane. I'm 54, solo female and decided to pull the trigger and do it. I just ordered the van from a local dealer three days ago. I do plan to DIY most of it and have the solar/electrical as well as the plumbing done by someone far more knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing.
Go Girl 😃❤️ be safe and have fun 👋!!!!!!!!
I love seeing people follow their passion and doing whatever they want and achieving personal goals in life. Appreciate you and your supportive wife bro🔥🔥🔥
Pelican. Thanks for taking us along on the journey. It's been an amazing ride. If only we were younger. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Just perusing through van stuff and came across your channel, a couple of hours later, and "pelican." I feel like I have just been invited into your collective mind and into your shared world, in some van life type of way - and i Dig it! Thanks!!! Blessings on y'alls new covenantal agreement of Love. You two are so fun together and talented as well. I'm praying for protection, in your life, on the road, and over your vehicle. How fun!!! Congratulations, embrace this adventurous time of your union together. I'm looking forward to enjoying more on RUclips from y'all.
❤🙏
Btw, I liked and subbed.
Very enjoyable. Got to the end. Pelican. Really enjoyed your 3D print solutions. We owned. 1972 VW van and took it on a road trip in 1973. Loved every minute. We are married for 55 years. Congratulations on your wedding.
Pelican..... was an amazing build has inspired me to do something like this, id love to build on here in the UK
Props for the patient woodworking on those window frames. I could never...
Pelican, you pooped up on my TV so thought I’d watch because I love watching people travel in vans. I love what you did with the van. Safe travels and enjoy.
ya pooped up on mine too
no no no no whatching this video in one sitting is a commitment ok? I have to pause half way in, be back later to continue watching it.
you should add a trailer hitch - and a trailer hitch storage box for your tools
Pelican my dude… this was another inspirational video to see. That’s like 4 hours tonight lmao, thank you guys for another good one. Lots of ideas flowing. Cheers! 🍻
Baby locks for the drawers! If they can keep my todddler out, I promise they'll resist the van turning. Get the ones that secure with a latching mechanism rather than a magnet.
Planning (your build)
Execution (the plan)
Love (each other)
Inspiration (to others)
Commitment (to each other and the plan)
Anxiety (overcome!)
Nourish (your souls)
Nice creative reply @r1ck0sh4y
Great job guys. This pelican watched your vid until the end. Enjoyed the progress 👌👌👍👍
Reconsider the wall covers on the rear pillars, because they are your mechanic's access to servicing your tail & brake lights.
New subscriber here - I love your creativity & energy. And your Bambu!!!
PELICAN
It's so awesome to see you two grow together. You seem so comfortable and happy!
Pelican, awesome build and congratulations 🎉on your marriage, enjoy life, n joy each other forever
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the tranquil bay, two figures strolled along the sandy shore. The rhythmic lapping of the waves provided a soothing soundtrack to the evening, while seabirds wheeled and called overhead. With each step, the Kerts couldn't help but marvel at the graceful flight of a majestic pelican! well done you two.
i enjoyed watching this build. we are in our 70's now. we own 2 camp trailers. one very tiny and a bigger one. while i love having a bathroom, we have still camped in a Tent. we only do part time and it is refreshing to go camp and 4 wheel.
Pelican! It's beautiful! Drawer & cabinet solution: did you look into child locks? Annoying, but they keep things closed. A latching bracket from the bottom of upper cabinets to the ceiling may also help. That way, you don't have to hold it open with your head. Or brackets on the inside that lock when it's open... kind of like the ones you used on the drop-down counter.

Good Boy & Girl! Pelican!
Pelican. Loved watching the two of you create a lovely home on wheels. Good luck in the future.? Oh yes. Congratulations on your marriage! Be blessed.
PELICAN!! I absolutely loved this! I don't have any aspirations to go on my own van adventure, but you and Eden absolutely smashed this project. I hope all goes well for you four!
Please don’t ever work with better help again. They were caught selling people’s mental health records for a profit to advertisers. That’s on top of them hiring people without checking their credentials in the past. Please please please don’t work with them again.
Pelican!! 😅 we’re currently building out our van here in Germany and your story is such a motivation! We pretty much have no building experience either and we’re constantly running into issues and are realizing that nothing ever turns out perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing all your “mistakes” and problems and giving us such an honest look into how it all went. You made me feel so much more confident that even if things aren’t perfectly aligned or there are gaps and things left unfinished, we can still turn this van into our dream travel home on wheels. Really appreciate you! 🫶 hope you’re enjoying life on the road!
PELICAN!! I was glued to the video, I love you two, you’re an amazing team!! Oh and, CONGRATULATIONS on your recent nuptials.
LOLPelican! This was fun to watch. Of course I had to put it on hold as I went about my life, but I did watch it in one day over a few hours. Hope you continue to vlog your travels.
I just came across your U-tube channel can't wait to see the finished result. You just brought your first home😊
Pelican!! Congratulations to you both and also to the pets.
One of my favorite vanlife video so far and my favorite pars is when everything done and the test begin and you fix😂
Pelican, wonderful to having y'all in my life! Peace be with you.
Pelican - I really enjoyed this video, personally I love long form videos so I was happy when I saw this 2 hour video from you.
(Pelican) looks great you guys. Life is so short. Lots of us can live vicariously through you 4😅 thnx for sharing...
I live in Australia this was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I hope you both have an amazing adventure. Got a lot of ideas for my van, enjoy Pelican
We really enjoyed watching this whole video!! Great job on the van and we loved sweet attitude of you both! Congrats on your marriage and best wishes on your van life!!
Pelican. I could not stop watching, I appreciate you sharing your experience. Good girl.
Watching you turn the stock van into a livable, functional space from start to end was great! Pelican
Beechwood can have a pinkish hue, and is known for its fine grade , so it doesn't splinter . BTW , great video . So relaxing and informative . I hope you two have many happy years together . You two make a great team . Pelican ❤
You guys did such a good job . Pelican? Yes I made it to the end. I couldn’t stop but I did skip a little bit of the middle, because I had a time limit. I love the sagey green color. It all looks like clean lines and a thorough build. You make such a nice couple. Thanks for the wonderful video!
Wow that was amazing “pelican”. I also starting following you guys on IG. Your van build is amazing and your woodworking is awesome. Oh Abbey was awesome. What I did notice was missing was a bathroom.
Pelican! Great job completing your home. We enjoyed watching your creativity and problem solving. Enjoy!❤
Pelican, it's quite the journey, and so nice to see a young couple work to make your dreams come true. Best of luck, always!!
Great build and loving you can fix problems with the 3 D printer..Awesome about the deck, as soon as I saw I thought of Max and Occy.. great you referenced to them for the idea..Safe travels
Hey Pelican, wow, I can't believe I watched the whole video on your van build. It's amazing and beautiful. I'm in my 50's and living vicariously thru van lifers videos and them traveling all over. It was one of my dreams for the longest time, but unfortunately, without the funds, it is impossible to be able to do what van lifers do, even if it is in an astrovan that's the beauty of it.That is how I travel by subscribing to vanlifers journey around the world. Thank you for sharing this video on your van build it was very informative, and I love it, and I also find it very interesting. I wish you and Eden a happy, wonderful life together. Cherish each other and love each other unconditionally. Be safe travel safe, and hopefully you will consider uploading videos of your journeys. Have fun!😊
Pelican, this van build is awesome, and a great video. Congratulations on your journey!! Have a wonderful and safe trip.
PELICAN!!! What a great way to spend a Sunday morning. Congratulations on your wedding and amazing adventure. Great video! Very inspiring.
You two are (Pelican) a wonderful team with seemingly endless energy! Congratulations on a stunning van build! Best of everything along your journey!
Pelican. Just stumbled across your video and I was hooked. Finished watching at 3:30am. You guys are awesome and so much energy. I love the way the van has turned out it looks amazing. Can't wait to see more.
Magnets are an easy solution for the drawers that would work perfectly 95% of the time. I think having a series of solenoids for each drawer that is interlocked with the ignition relay so that all the drawers automatically lock & unlock themselves whenever you turn the van on and off. Could maybe use an electromagnet that energizes with the alternator. Good luck!
It is possible to wire a pair of relays such that when the ignition is on & the generator light is off a circuit is energized. I use this to run a small inverter for chargers but there are many potential uses.
You have worked so hard I love all you have accomplished.
PELICAN...I WATCHED IT ALL... Enjoy your home safe travels 🎉🎉
Pelican, enjoy your pleasant personality (both of you) and your fantastic ability to make something beautiful.
It looks soooooooo beautiful. What an amazing way to start your life together ❤️❤️❤️
pelican I am so thrilled at this video! You 2 comit to this huge project and overcame big obstacles to make your dream home come true well done!❤-from a ten year old girl❤
Pelican! Nice job guys! Try the child locks for the drawers that stay unlocked and lock them when you travel.
You guys have the best , most funnest energy! I am looking forward to your videos!!!
I admire people who are able to do this. I wouldn't be able to handle that small of space. Like, a bus I could probably do, but I would constantly be bumping into things inside that.
Pelican. Lovely couple, lovely projects, lovely van, lovely life. Keep it up.
I love the idea of the 3D print repairs. I love watching builds and interesting to find problems and how you fix / change things.
Pelican....very jealous! Enjoy every day of your travels
You both did a fantastic job with this build. I loved watching the whole video from start to finish you’re both so very talented.
I had already watched all the videos when they were out. So this was a revise and had a lot of fun. Also Pelican!
Thanks for being in the Pelican club ;)
I enjoyed every step in your build, what an awesome home!
Enjoy your journey together and never stop building!
pelican, I really enjoy having your videos playing in the background while doing school or stuff like that. I love these compilations sm!
Loved watching you guys build your van. Awesome, young people, enjoy your journeys! 👏🏽 congrats on your marriage! 👏🏽
Pelican!!!! Fantastic job it looks amazing and it’s so inspiring that you two are on this journey together!
Pelican - his beak can hold more than his belly-can 🤪
Beautiful build, I'm envious.
im in aotearoa new zealand...enjoyed watching this...very cool...bless yous
Pelican. RUclips needs more content like this to display the dedication a long term project takes instead of feeding the dopamine hungry short attention span with months or years of work condensed into 10-20 minutes.
Pelican! 😄 your van looks beautiful! I’m so amazed by those 3D printers, very cool! 😊
Pelican! You two are so cute together. I really enjoyed watching this during my insomnia episode. First time you’ve come across my feed, and I learned a lot. Most importantly, that I won’t be doing a van build 😂. You guys rock!
Pelican!! Such a wonderful video, I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a long time. This is so inspiring. Thanks for the video!!
Pelican! I love your videos. I live in a rv with my wife and kid. It is so nice to see the van life problems are everywhere. Keep it up!
I crossed the US three times, but I never saw a pelican! Congratulations to both of you! Wish you both only happiness and success!
I'm kinda surprised that you guys didn't go with boat latches for drawers and cabinets with their locking ability as well as smooth profile. Well thought out layout with beautiful build! Love your color choices! Thanks for sharing! Pelican 😉✌️
what's a "boat latch" & where to get them?
@@alanhat5252 I've seen 2 different types, one a push button and the other has a handle also called a slam latch. I got the slam latch type from Amazon.
@@alanhat5252 I really like that they are flush mounted and the ones with an anchor for the handle would've been awesome in this build.
Pelican!!! Great job! This was my 2nd marathon viewing of your content so far, and your team keeps me coming back for more. Love the couple. Love the projects. Love the animals. Talented. Inspiring. Entertaining. I wish you many happy years together and the greatest success. ❤️
Pelican! Congrats, well done! I love the 3D printer integration. I have been wanting to do the same thing for a while.
Took me a whole day to watch, but def worth it! It was so cool to see the progression on your build and the solutions you made to fix the problems you ran into. I personally wouldn't do this, but will enjoy seeing your journey. Pelicans are a very unique bird aren't they?
Pelican! 😋 I loved watching the whole journey - once I started watching, I was invested and I couldn't stop. Well done on completing this mammoth project - you both did a brilliant job! Your van is amazing! 👏
An idea for your loose drawers:
Take a piece of dowel or broom handle (maybe 1" diameter), put a flat along one side (less than half the diameter but not much less), take the drawers out & cut a groove in the cabinet deep enough that when the dowel is in it with the flat showing the drawers are unobstucted but when the dowel is rotated it engages in a matching groove in each drawer. Put a groove around the dowel & glue in ⅛" or thinner plywood trimmed to be a handle, probably between the top drawer & the next one.
You may want to turn down parts of the dowel just leaving thick discs to lock the drawers, you may want to block the slides not the drawers, you may want to fabricate something from discs & tubes. Have a think, I'll be interested to see what you come up with.
An idea for your loose drawers:
a narrow door that overlaps your drawer by an inch or so with a vertical hinge line as close as possible to the side of the drawers, held closed with a magnet or a bungee.
Pellican because it's a great bird in the tropical areas! Love it! ♡ very intriguing to see your journey through the build of your van!
Pelican .. loved the journey.. beautiful.. workmanship.. wishing you both and critters the best!!
Pelican! Loved this marathon build. The green pain is perfect!
Pelican! What a great build. The both of you are so inspiring thx!
Pelican!!! OMG! I really enjoyed this video. Very informative and the connection you two have is clearly evident, like you're soulmates if you believe in that. Keep making the memories and I hope you're also keeping a hard copy. As much as we rely on technology, it still shouldn't be trusted. Print out those pictures and provide a summary to be handed down for the generations to come. 😊 I am looking forward to the rest of your videos.
Pelican
I love the work you both have done, in making a wonderful video and especially on your beautiful van.
May every mile you travel, bring you joy.
Pelican ! Awesome build, wishing you both many happy travel miles in your new abode.
Pelican! Fun video and congrats on your pulling this off you two! Enjoy and have a blast!
Pelican! You guys ROCKED it!! Thanks for sharing your adventure (and lessons 😉) with us! 🤟
Pelican!! It was so ineresting. Will be following. Have a safe trip.
Pelican Brief was a good book. I just found your channel a couple days ago. Really enjoy watching your videos and listening to you talk. I’m happy you two are enjoying your 20s and getting to do what you want to do. Bravo, keep up the good videos you’re really handy with that 3-D printer dude. 🎉
