My name is Chrome i have been living in y cargo van for 6 years now. I started this lifestyle BROKE and IN DEBT and after 11 months of living the van life i cleared my debt and started to put my life back together and build for a better future. I have turned my original van into a badass camper van that is lifted with all the toys. Over the years i went from being broke and stealth camping in the city and sleeping at walmarts... to now, living fulltime in a jacked up van and driving deep off-grid into the backcountry and living life in the dirt. WOW LIFE HAS CHANGED.
I now have a shop space to keep me busy through the winters here on Canada's westcoast. Went from Van Life to VAN LIFE + SHOP LIFE !!!!!! Come join this crazy van life journey of mine. HIT SUBSCRIBE, trust me its gonna be a WILD RIDE.

I like the black. As soon as you suggested black, I could see it. It's perfect for an automotive, van, adventure space. I am enjoying watching your space/shop come together. Your hard work and dedication are paying off. What a great team you have around you. What great people, Shane and Chris. Blessings.

As I notated before get your landlord to create the ground away from the shop doors before he does the paving, we battled this for years at our shop? You may also consider adding a drainage system to the concrete driveway right in front of each door.

Find a wallpaper or contact paper you like and wrap the outlet covers, then use whatever color plugs you want . Or paint them. You can do it with the light switch covers too.

Everyone is going to want these guys working on their properties👍🏼 you are making not only work contacts but friends. Had the guy hired to do the job originally done it right the first time or corrected it, he would have gotten lots of traffic at his business too.

@theoldieprojects1814 2 ай бұрын

Chromey, your Max fan problem. Close it all down. Take batteries out of remote. Open the vent manually. Re-install batteries into remote. Use remote to turn on the fan, after opening the vent manually. If all else fails, disconnect the wiring of the Max-Fan unit, reconnect and try again. If that fails, contact manufacturer to trouble shoot.
