FORD TRANSIT CONNECT VAN BUILD - NEW VAN BED - DAY TWENTY THREE

[@vatriciar2175]

Bed looks great. Great job finding a solution for your bed to be comfy. We aren’t any good if we don’t get a good nights sleep. Can’t wait to see more! 💕

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thanks!!! I know. A good nights sleep is very important at our age! lol

[@southerngirlyall6497]

I saw you carrying that foam. Didn't realize you got it from the free table. Yay, you!!!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Yeah, I love when that happens. I put a bunch of stuff on the free table and it all went so fast and then I happen to go by and there is something for me. I love that!

[@5inSUVtraveling]

Nice, yes the bed should be bolted or secure in some ways for sure. We have the same problem (though for us, our VAN is way smaller :D). Keep up the good work!

[@tripletgirl2484]

Good work! It’s great that you just get stuck in and learn as you go if need be.

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

You know me! I love to get in there and figure things out! 💪

[@annaroberts3976]

Great job with the bed. How fortunate there was a free piece of foam available to you and that it fixed the issue for you. You are just moving right along with your build. You go, Kym! 😊

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

I was so lucky to have that foam available! It made all the difference! Thank you so much!!! I can't wait until it's done! It's taking forever!

[@karenebarker9244]

You got it going on ! Love seeing each step of the way ❤️💪

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thank you, my friend!!!! 💙

[@JolieUTU]

Looks nice & comfy! Love this type of van. So happy for you. Great job!👍🙏🏻❤️

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thanks so much! I really love it!

[@angelabraggs7614]

Know a good i deal is to put holes in your wood and tie it with zip locks to your metal frame

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

OMH! That's great! I love that. I just can't figure out how to attach an L bracket to the metal and to the wood. Thank you. This is an awesome idea!!!!

[@Varavenfan]

The bed looks nice, does it give you more space? I figured you had internet issues for your videos. No worries, glad you’re back!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

It's actually a few inches wider, but it's only 30" and I'm pretty sure I'm 60" wide. LOL!

[@juliefigueiredo9288]

We all were glad to be stuck with you at Mill Dam 😊 great job on your van 💪💪

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

OH MY GAWD!!! When I said those words - stuck at Mill Dam, I almost edited it out. Sounded like I was in hell or something!!!! No where I would rather be than at camp with you girls. 💙

[@janetfolkerts5827]

IMO..the sticky tape is to help keep your mattress from slipping. Glad you figured out to make it comfy.

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thanks!! And yes, I found the patches. Apparently, I am suppose to put the patches on the sticky tape and that will prevent the mattress from moving around.

[@angie101972]

I really like that frame! Better than making one out if wood

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Yeah, and it's not as heavy. I'm very happy with it!!!!

[@Ms.Frankenbuilder]

Nice bed and good job putting it together.

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thanks!!!!!

[@shirleyrowe4078]

Great job! You are pecking away at this van build very nicely. isn’t it nice to feel that sense of accomplishment after struggling your way through something? You’re killing it! Can you please tell me how long and how wide that bedframe is please?

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

14" height - and 30" width and the length is 74" and I am 5'3" and I fit perfectly. There's plenty of room if I decide to grow!!!💙😁 my only complaint and there is nothing I can do about this, but when I go to sleep at night, I start on my side and pull my leg to my chest and with only 30" sometimes it's hard to keep my leg up - it wants to go over the bed. LOL! But usually doesn't matter, because I'm a starship. I always wake up like a big starfish on the beach!

[@juliethomas-t6d]

Van is looking good !

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thank you so much!

[@VanityBitty]

Good job on the bed! Seems like a great price and with the foam fix, you love it! There was a meet up in Florida?

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Yes, I have meetups coming up in JAN, two in FEB, and one in MARCH - and then starting all over again in OCT of 2025. Let me know if you're interested!!! Each meetup averages about 75 women. Great networking!! email me if you're interested!!

[@jilliventures]

Moving right along chica!!!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Yes!!! I'm almost done!!!

[@lynnebriggs2476]

You got this!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@BillieJean64]

Looking good!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AngelaMRoss]

Girl, that's the same bed frame I have in my wishlist for Amazon. Zinus!! So glad you choice it so I can see how it fits. I am either going to get the Transit Connect or High top in 2025 and start my build! Wish mattress did you get?Maybe we will run into each other in the future. Happy trails to you. ❤

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

I love it! I think the one on Amazon is a little different. The one I have is 30" wide, and the one on Amazon may be 36" wide. Check that out! I use an Elegear sleeping pad. It's a self blowup and it's amazing!!! When I stay at my son's in Maryland, I take it in his apartment and sleep on the floor. That's how much I love it!!! Hope to see you soon!

[@christineselden5684]

Another awesome informative video...thanx Kim... love that little dresser .. n where it sits but could u put legs on it n have storage underneath?? I dunno .. just a thought.. looks butamous!!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Great idea!! I have to have some room on the top for my laptop, unless I can come up with a better way to work. I think that's a great idea to lift it up a few inches. I can fit my 3 mosquito swatters under there!!!

[@christineselden5684]

@OutonaLimbwithKym whatever u do Kim..will be perfect! ❣️

[@rebeccagangi4228]

Can I make a suggestion? Why not remove your dresser doors & have open shelves for accessibility and put bungee cords across when driving!🤷🏻‍♀️

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

After reading this . . . I got up from my desk and went to the garage. I pulled out the dresser and took the doors off! Thank you! Great Suggestion! Looks so much better. Now I have to find the right baskets. This is the fun part! Thanks again!!! 💙

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

It's really starting to all come together!! Great job!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thank you!!! I'm really excited about it! 😄

[@siriusstar99]

You probably already thought of it but “L” brackets to secure your bed and cabinet easy .👍

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Yes, but i don't know what kind of bracket to attach to the metal leg of the bed. The bed is metal. And it'll attach the other part of the bracket to wood.

[@siriusstar99]

@@OutonaLimbwithKym You can buy drill bits that will go through metal also self tapping screws you can use for the metal and will secure to the wood floor also.👍😁

[@lynnebriggs2476]

To keep the mattress from sliding

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Yeah, now I know. LOL! Happens when I don't read the directions.

[@Carol-ll5jo]

What size is the bed and can you put a link for the one you got? Love your videos!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Thanks. I tried to make a link, but when I did - it was like half a page. LOL It's at homedepot.com and type in Joseph Black Metal - it's only 30" wide!

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Oh, and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@l0l585]

Looking good what size is the bed an do u have a stock number?

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

14" height - 30" width - 74" in length. HomeDepot.com type in Joseph Black Metal and I couldn't find a sku number, sorry!

[@bethhill591]

Holds your mattress in place.

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

Yeah, I know that now. I found the patches later. Thanks!
