Uncle Shaun it's Andrew, Leah's son. Please, please try contacting Liz or Brian and seeing if they can house you for a time so you can get back onto your feet. I've been following your channel and situation for a while and always found comfort in your optimism for a better future. You can and will find a way back, please don't give up. And I look forward to seeing you post content more regularly again. Love you uncle Scrub

Big love to you, man. Weirdly i used to live in my music studio for a long time, and grew to be real comfortable with it. But that was always by choice, so i can't really offer advice there. All i can suggest is don't worry about posting content. Just put stuff up when you're comfortable and vibing again, and we'll be looking for when it comes out. Hope things settle for you soon

Hang in there, you're doing OK. Don't worry about us. Focus on you, what you need, and your next steps. We'll be here when you get back. Hugs and positive vibes!

Shaun, please, brother. You are not a train wreck, and that isn't why I watch. You are going thought a lot, it is something everyone does at some point. And this year is a hard one for us all. You have faced more than most, that's true. But I have learned to respect your honesty, your will, and your drive to get up after so many times of getting knocked down. I will be here when you decide to post... or not. You take care of yourself, your daughter, and your life. You matter to me more than the content. You are a good man, and I am humbled by your drive and patents with the deal you have been given. I will stand by you, not stair in hope of a new disaster. My wife and I both send hope you you every time we see your posts... Hang in there, you are loved by people you will never know. 🤙

Prayers. This goes beyond hobbies obviously, i kind of dont even care about the hobby at this point. I just hope good people like yourself find a way.

You have had a rotten time of it mate, sad to see it. KZfaq won't go anywhere, you will always be able to pick up from where you left off once you have found your feet. Wishing you all the best !

I'll stay subbed no matter how long it takes for you to get as close to 100% as you can get... KZfaq content is not a big deal. Best of luck my friend I'll be rewatching your previous content and revise a few of the projects you inspired me to build. Stay strong.

Sorry its been so rough for you. Its tough that with things the way they are right now its so hard to even get back into a comparative housing situation. Hang in there and do what's best for you and your girl. Well be here when its time to come back.

when you mentioned your daughter i lost my shit. i was in that position 20 years ago. i got through it eventually, you can too.

Shaun, please don't worry about releasing content. We'll all be here for you whenever you can release something. For now, you need to concentrate on reducing the stress that you're under. I understand that "camping out" in the factory is a hell of a way to live. I just wonder if a caravan is your best option. As for a workspace, I would encourage you to try to have a compact space where you will be living as well as exploring options for a bigger space that you don't have to rent. Family, friends, friends of friends, someone must have some space that you could use. Please take care of yourself and try to stay positive.

Prayers!! Did not realize you'd had medical issues too!

hey man - im so sorry things are as hard as they are, everything youre feeling totally makes sense, you dont need to be the one talkin down to yourself. take care of the necessities first, get a roof over your head, get some time with your kid, and take the rest one step at a time. creativity looks like a thousand things (and its so important), so feed that too, but it can be whittling, sketching, music, whatever for a while things even out, and just leave the channel up for when youre ready. im tuning in from across the world, and well be here when you get back.

It's been a heartbreaking journey to watch from a distance. Make content when you can, and if you cant - prioritise you and finding a path back to housing, and hopefully one day employment :)

sorry to hear you're havin such a tough go of it man. I'm not sure how it works where you live, but tiny house might be something worth looking into. you could also buy a shed and convert it, that'd be some pretty epic content too

I think the content we all most want to see is just you feeling happy, hobby or no hobby. If your path to recovery takes you away from the hobby and/or the channel, for a while or forever, then it is what it is. Your videos are a gift, not a contract, you've given us plenty; please don't feel any obligation to give us more. While I'd love to see new videos in the future, I'd be perfectly content if you called it here and had the best possible chance of getting better. Whatever you do, I'm staying subbed. Good luck man

No matter what happens, your skills and knowledge will always follow you. Always keep that in mind. You'll get through this!

Hang in there bud. KZfaq isnt the end all be all. Like I always have told you, take care of yourself and if and when you decide to keep on with the channel we will all be here!!

Stay in the fight, Shaun. Hang tough. You're doing a great job so far, so keep strong!

Hey man, just getting back into the hobby after a long while myself (Fallout Wasteland Warfare) and have really enjoyed your content, and I joined the patreon knowing your situation. Just want to say both my wife and I appreciate the videos. I hope you keep posting even if you are not able to do a project, both for sharing my potential ideas for terrain and for yourself. Its likely good for you to have an outlet regardless if you can provide 'content'.

Best wishes Shaun. Stability and comfort go a long way. Is there any housing assistance there? With your health concerns and living situation, I hope you can get more stable quarters and return with more stuff to share with us.

Take your time man, youtube will still be here. I've taken 6-8 month breaks on my channel and when you come back people are usually just glad you're back. Sure numbers are down for the first couple, but it bounces back quicker than you think. As for tough times, I've definitely never had as a rough of a go as you had, but one thing I found helpful for my (relatively) dark times is trying to commit to an easy thing. You know like youtube shorts where you show off something small or just a direct to camera video where you talk about your thoughts on (insert thing here). While it seemed like a chore some days I think I realized that having that structure to produce something did help my mental well being. So maybe give that a shot and see if it doesn't help.

My 2 cents, spend a fraction of the money you'd spend on a caravan on a foam mat, carpet, and small bed and loveseat for your workspace! I don't think you will find a caravan is the answer! All the best!

Wishing you all the strength.

No worries mate, you are a star, you should focus on yourself... Your community loves you... Peace brother. ... 💜😍✌️🍄

Do what you need to do Shaun. We understand and will be here when you're ready.

All the best mate, I hope the load gets a little easier.

Sending love mate. As a fellow Aussie Iv'e seen how bad the housing market / rentals are atm.

Best of luck to you! I hope life starts steering on the up and up for you. Thanks for all great content over the years!

I know how your feeling, I'm a 15 year hobo veteran over in the states, things are looking really dark right now I know buddy. However I think things are always darkest before the light breaks through the trees, the only advice I can give is you gotta keep trudging on trust me. It will be very hard, I know that, but you are stronger than you think. You worked hard for this channel, so don't give up yet.

Keep trucking brother, we'll be here

BRO!!!. 1st priority is feeling better about yourself and your situation...do what you NEED to do to keep alive, THEN come back and show us your amazing work postings!!!....I think I speak for all your followers...."We love ya buddy, and want you to get on with feeling well, I promise we will be here when YOU are ready to come back and GET IT ON!!!" Ok no more mushy stuff... ;) best wishes to you and your daughter, and family and friends man!!

You have probably already thought of this, but if it's possible to stay on site of your house and rebuild a tiny home and then add onto it, and video that progress....?

You gotta take care of yourself dude. We'll be here whenever you post. 🙂

Please take the time you need and we’ll be here when you feel back on your feet. Stay strong.

Stay strong brother!

Hang on Shaun!❤

I'm so sorry things have gotten so bad for you Shawn, you should not post hobby content if you don't have it in you to do so... I think most of us here would rather you do what you have to in order to get into a better situation and post what and when you feel up to it. Shelter and your mental health are far more important.

Sometimes, it feels like you are in a deep sand pit, just digging in sand, and it keeps falling back down on your head... just please don't feel that you "owe" anyone. Just keep going and enjoy every moment with your daughter. THAT is SO important. also good to remember that "he hobby" is to bring you joy and peace, not to bring you money. Your channel will "shift", Everyone we know who run channels have been having struggles. Life is suffering, sometimes, it feels "endless", just remember, you ARE "making progress", it's just frustrating when it's difficult to point to anything tangible. You made this video. That's a good thing. Hope you find a solution to your housing situation. Forever a friend and fan. -Volt (and fam)

All the best to you brother

Wish you the best, man.

Best of luck. Stay strong.

Buddy that's horrible, sorry to hear that.

Sometimes when one feels down. " not meaning you" There is someone having a Worse time than them. However Just when it looks so dim, there will always be a light ahead to show you the path, Do WHAT You Feel, LIKE YOUR CRAFTS.. No one worth there Cents will Cancel On you, WE ALL Worry about you and FOR YOU!, Things will GET BETTER! I myself have had some ruff times, wanting to start a Channel Myself, and Yesterday something for me Showed me what I needed to do, Peoples ACTIONS speak Louder than Words as they say, and its TRUE! I have a School Bus and This is MY Next Turn At my Cross Roads. Yours is Coming and YOU WILL KNOW it when it hits you, TAKE CARE OF YOU! God Bless!! BE SAFE!

Best of luck man.

I hope you find your joy and peace. I think your caravan suggestion is a solid one! The channel will never die, as the videos are all here. Come back at your own pace. Imagine the excitement when you can look back at these videos from your future, elevated position.

You look after you Shawn. Get yourself right, KZfaq'll wait. Just saw a shout out for your channel on Facebook from a bloke who'd just discovered your channel and the situation you've found yourself in. I chimed in to let 'em know I've learned a ton from your videos and they should check out your stuff. It's all still up there mate for hobbyists to watch. No new content? No worries. Look after yourself and concentrate on getting settled first, we'll still be here. At 65 and a one-time single dad to two under six year olds, I've been in the dark place with not a pot to piss in. Believe the fact things will get better but you have to get right in yourself first. A safe and livable space, that's your prime concern. All of us KZfaq warriors [😂] mean nowt compared to you and having somewhere your daughter can stay with you. Best wishes from the UK mate, you got this )O(

Best of luck fingers crossed - think about which 4 walls will help you more - good luck

I'm sorry things aren't going so well man. I hope something starts looking up for you.

Thanks for your openness and for uploading the video. I wish the best for you. Good luck!

Take care mate. We'll be here.

Take care of yourself dude 🫶

Hang in there....take your time.

This is heartbreaking to hear dude. Is moving regional an option? Would offer to help if I weren't in a similarly precarious situation myself.

I’ve lived in shops and studios a lot, and did journeyman work while living in a van for a couple of years. A gym membership is very helpful. The YMCA often offers scholarships, and maybe there’s something similar where you are. My current shop has hooks in the walls that I mounted for hanging a hammock - for mid day naps. I don’t have kids, so this is a real difference. Sleeping in a shop is no worse than a caravan, really.

Praying for you I was homeless for almost 2 years. It’s one foot in front of the other. And I know it’s hard. Sending lots of love 💕

Life throws the brown stuff at us thick and fast sometimes I don't think any viewers would be upset if you need to concentrate on your situation, you can't be expected to worry about the viewers when you're struggling to live. I wish you luck in the challenges you are facing and rest assured most if not all of you're viewers will wish you the same after all if you're unable to put content up for a while our worlds won't come an end but it could mean you'll be able to comeback rather than try to struggle on trying to juggle everything and end up having to chuck it in. Do you first then worry about us. Sorry about the waffle good luck

Shaun, you are truly an inspiration to us all, i know its rough but i also know it will get better!, quick question, not sure on size etc, but could you get a caravan/camper and park it by the factory thereby cutting rent?

Dude, get where you need to be. YOU are more important than content.

Not weak to speak mate. And nothing sooky about being up front with your fans. You are more important than your channel and an artist can't create on fumes. We'll be waiting when the mojo strikes again.

Sorry to hear of more tough times for you. Ive checked in on the channel from time to time and saw life had dealt you a rotten hand. I echo what someone said above, did u own the land of where your house was. If so prehaps you could build a base from there? It would at least be a site to house a caravan for a stop gap till you find a way to get back on your feet. The worlds really a tough place to get by in atm, your not alone in your struggles but im pretty sure thats no comfort. All the best ill keep checking in on the channel from time to time. I hope you find a solution to your housing situation so you can at least have your daughter over to stay. Peace ✌️

I spent two of the last three years living out of a truck and after it died the last year back out on foot. Times are terrible for most everyone, so please do not feel like you are in this alone or that you owe anyone anything. Get back on your feet and make some content here and there when you can. I managed to make a bunch of substitute Ork Datacards with a small group of guys and apps on my phone since I couldn't actually be building models this winter while outside because I hate doing nothing and still wanted to be a part of the hobby that I love. I still would be furthering the project I was working on but one accidental fall shattered my screen, but I'm not letting that stop me from being optimistic about getting back to it sometime soon. I get depressed once in a while about how much time is wasted because of my situation, but I still can show up to the FLGS and share my insights and knowledge about building models and terrain and while your situation is also far from ideal, you can also keep sharing your knowledge and experiences. Hoping that you keep your chin up.

sorry to here x

mate, an update every now and then is more than enough. focus on your mental wellbeing and getting back on your feet. many of us will be waiting for your return, and when you do it's going to be great! all the best

Dont give up mate

You've probably already thought about this, but does the workshop have a parking space close by they could give you? Could give you a more commutable living space and a way to keep your hobby space. Gotta do what's best for you in any case dude, good luck!

I am getting into a similar situation. I don't know where you are but you can get a room in an Airbnb for £30 per night. Which is about £900 per month and no bills. This may be my option.

We'll be here when you get back.

god bless you i pray for you

Hang in there…

I dont know anything about the place or how big it is. But isnt it possible to get some construction lumber and set up a small simple living space inside? Just the simplest walls. Or more like just dividers. A sofa, bed and table doesnt need much space. Could even put the bed above the sofa.

May God provide you with a path and plan for the future. God bless you and may you find your way and happiness soon. ❤

Depression is real and it taxes everything. If a rant here helps, we're listening. If you can get professional help, and perhaps some meds to get you over the hump, all the better. Be well.

Is there not enough space in the workshop to fit a proper apartment?

Can you move a caravan into the workshop bud.

Please try to keep a chin up. Yeah the income and outcome of the inflation is skyrocketing. I don't know how to cheer people up anymore. 😂 At least you have a roof over your head. I would say and your health ... But lol ummm maybe some family members can help you out?

I may not understand clearly, but it seems you are sleeping in the factory, and paying rent to keep it. Can you not make the factory more of a home? As in: get a small (3') fridge/freezer for 50 bucks, a small gas or electric stove with one burner for the same, and a portable chemical toilet, again, for about the same. An inflatable or other mattress and comforter? For 200 bucks total, you could have the basic home necessities - toilet, bed, stove and refrigerator. You could cook meals for yourself. You could poop. You could sleep warmly. For another 50, you could put up Japanese screens or other dividers to create the feeling of a room of your own within your work space. You could do this without telling your landlord and through avoiding any relevant occupancy laws by simply not talking about it. Once accumulated - over time, months, if necessary, you would have a relatively decent space. You could put a rug down for warmth, and add a small portable heater. You could add an inflatable Japanese tub - I have once done this, and it works. You must have a water source, which you must be accessing. This could keep your situation livable and stable while you sort shit out. I was homeless, twice, and while not grand, these things can make a surprisingly decent living situation. Just cooking your own food can make a big difference, not to mention having a place to crap. Downlow usage of a space is valid and morally right in an economy where houses are unaffordable. Please consider the possibility, since you seem to be living in the factory space already. Maybe you could make your factory rental a home - for a while, at least?

The housing is fucked

Hey man, maybe lean into the train wreck? I know this sounds callous but youtube allows us to be voyeurs into every aspect of life. Most people do not really share the actual train wreck. They polish it and package it or it doesn't really exist. It just sucks that this has happened. The only thing I can think of is make lemon aid which may be leaning into it. I dunno man. Document the slide. I prayed for you after the fire. I lost track when I had my heart attack last year but youtube is reminding me of you again. I hope it helps to know I will pray for you again now.

Probably a wise move mate. You only have 40k subs and the content was always average or below. No great loss to YT or the wider world really. Focus on your kid.

Dont live beyond your means i guess.
