⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute, we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But then we were back on our feet, fully MOT’d and back on the road through Europe before we experienced another vanlife nightmare... our van caught fire!! After the trauma of that we had a massive change of plan and made our way to Japan. We enjoyed a three-month Japanese Adventure and then got back to Martha for some new European Adventures. After an incredible three-month Scottish road trip, we have now packed up our van and are heading to Australia for a new van life adventure!

You are paying rent to Bunnings by buying all of your materials there, so I think they would be happy with you. Such hard work, well done! I like the wood stain colour.

[@phillyandkeely]

Yay so glad you like the stain! Yeah spending a small fortune in bunnings lmao

[@petecarrollmusic]

You two are a credit to your families, your age group and yersels. Well done, love the just get on with it attitude. One of the best YT Van channels, lots a love from near Glasgow. Hope the rest goes well. Rootin for ya

[@veronica1952]

Hi you two great video can't believe you did all this work yourself you should be getting the supplies free for advertising Bunnings😊 You must be exhausted but it'll be worth it in the end. Love the tool improvisation cutting bread 🍞😅. Don't forget to rest as well. Really jealous of your weather. Clock changes here next week we get an extra hour. Yippee ❤

Thanks Jayne 🥰🥰🥰

[@igoslomo]

Another amazingly entertaining video… and I love the stain! Well done!

[@phillyandkeely]

So glad you like it 🥰

[@chrissycanvasart]

I like the dark on the roof. You keeping the sides lighter! If yes be a great contrast 😊💜💜

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Chrissy 🥰🥰

[@always.wondering.wandering]

I love the dark, makes it cozy and won't show any dirt. You guys are rockin it! I was wondering how you were powering things but then I saw the power station, which I'm guessing you charge that up from the van engine, is that how you do it? You probably don't get the knock because they see that you are a daily customer, so it's kind of like you're paying them rent for the space. Love the build so far and can't wait to see more. I call her, Martha's little cousin down under. Take care guys😎💌✌

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much, glad you love the dark. So far the power bank lasts a full week on charging our tools etc. We have friends who live in Melbourne who let us come charge it at theirs on the weekend, but it also comes with a solar panel we just haven't got that out yet. We could prob also take the power bank into a cafe of we didn't have friends living here. Cuz we edit in cafes and climbing gym so I'm sure we could charge it there if needed

[@brewsterkits]

What a load of work guys!!! Bunnings must be happy😄

[@phillyandkeely]

Lmao good advertisement haha

[@jaynepearson187]

Your van is gonna look EPIC!

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Jayne 🥰🥰

[@lostlangley]

I have a little Toyota just the same as that one. Imported to the UK from Japan. I've lived in it on and off for 9 years, sometimes alone with my dog and sometimes with my partner (we are both over 6ft!). They are amazing vans, absolutely bulletproof engines. I trust it more than my Sprinter!

[@phillyandkeely]

Wow two people over six foot would defo be a squeeze in this van haha. Hopefully in hotter climates it's more indoor outdoor lifestyle, that's the goal anyway ❤️ happy to hear it's kept you going, really hope ours is good to us 💪

[@amymadden4631]

The dark stain looks lovely! I think it will make the van feel more cozy and home-y! I like it. ❤❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Yay thanks Amy 🥰

[@helenjacob7548]

too funny cutting bread with a saw....😂 good luck both🙂

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Helen 🥰🥰

[@lindashoemaker8940]

Good afternoon Philly and Keely you guys are amazing your really working hard can’t wait til your on the road stay safe see ya soon 😘🌺🌸🚐🐺

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Linda❤️

[@debrandw246]

The cladding is beautiful. I love the colour. Dont listen to Instagram. You have a beautiful contrasting colour. Its your van, and its gorgeous. Go with your heart. Its amazing. Just like you. I can't wait until its finished. Love to you both. If I am ever lucky enough to get a van, I will stain it that colour. I love it. See you soon. Get some good rest and a small portable air con. 😂 ❤❤❤❤❤ Your van is lush. Well done.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Deb 🥰🥰 so glad you like the walnut woop woop

[@pinkeeist]

I am so enjoying you two. Definitely a perfect match🦋. You bring me so much joy😀😀😀😀

[@phillyandkeely]

Aww thanks so much 🥰🥰 so lovely to hear

[@cassandrabos2176]

😂😂😅😂😂 Nothing I love more than 2 people who don’t know how brilliant they are!❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Hahaha thanks Cass ❤️

[@BendsMusic]

The wood stain simply put it's not a whiter shade of pale 🎶 but a darker shade of pale.. basically you're turning the van into a traditional English countryside pub. (Pub names.. the royal oak, The oak etc) 😎🦘🤣

[@BendsMusic]

Just thought of a suitably named pub.. the Coach House

[@phillyandkeely]

Darker shade of pale 🤣

[@lulumiller1104]

🇬🇧🦋🚐it’s your van your adventure colour is great .. both working so hard . Hats off to you both 🚐🦋🇬🇧

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much 🥰🥰

[@wendee2022]

Awesome work you two. So good Bunnings are ok with you in the car park. I'm ok with the stained wood as I know you two will make it nice no matter what the colour. 😊

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Wendee 🥰

[@robertalan3214]

Thanks guys, I love what your doing, good luck with the van, stay safe, looking forward to seeing your your next post ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Robert ❤️🙏

[@alexandrajoelle2926]

I love the darker stain! I have seen a lot of whitewashed van builds because of the lighter color being more open, but I personally prefer the cozy cabin vibes. A little hobbit hole on wheels… Can’t wait to see it!

[@phillyandkeely]

Yes cosy hobbit hole that's the plan lmao

[@workinprogresssince1974]

I think you made a good choice. It will be easier to keep clean/won't mark as easily and it'll feel all snuggly inside. Noone wants to wake up to bright cladding in the morning. :D

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah the dark is making it very easy to stay in bed 🤣

[@cazzysinclair]

We have done these coversions twice,,,but not whilst living in it!! It was bad enough on our drive. Invite Bunnings to come and see your progress, and share your channel on their website. Maybe you will pick up a sponsor...or 2..and some help from tradesmen. Takes me back to those converting days when working full time as a nurse. Good luck and hats of to you guys. Will send another donation when I get paid xxxx

[@phillyandkeely]

That would be incredible getting a Bunnings sponsor lmao. I did email them but they said they don't do stuff like that ahha. Ideal conversion conditions would be in a lovely warehouse with all the tools, some day we will make that our reality lol

[@juliedowning7782]

Imagine trying to do this in a B and Q car park here in the UK! ☹️ wouldn’t happen I imagine! Best of luck to you both…..I’m going to enjoy following along. Best wishes Julie 😊

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Julie 🥰 yeah doubt we could live at B&Q haha

[@debyarger3084]

Can't wait to see it all finished,it's going to be epic!!!

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Deb 🥰 fingers crossed

[@geoffcampbell7846]

Brilliantly bonkers, and a super "how to" series on van building. Others take note, you dont have to be crazy to be brilliant, but it helps. A great video guys, you really are great fun. Remember, its only for a few weeks, so it doesn't have to get a first in Van build of the year competition, just make it workable, get a cheap gas stove, and put the moka pot on for coffee. You do know you wont want to get rid of this super little van when its over don't you? Cant wait to see the solar panels going on. Take care. 👋

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah will be sad to sell the wee van at the end, but making it well for it future owners too

[@denisecafferky2248]

Liking the dark walnut. Fair play, tw are flying it 👏

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Denise 🥰

[@RolandOfGileadOnYT]

Converting a van in the parking lot is next level van-life!

[@phillyandkeely]

🥰 I think it's level down instead of level up though haha

[@lizdevine7363]

Oh guys it's keely and philly raw it's fantastic loving it, van coming on great, fair play to ye eating healthy while building and living in a van, philly is such a posative guy and ur so funny a match made in heaven, what birth signs are ye both? ❤❤❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Haha thanks so much Liz 🥰 Both Taurus ❤️

[@debrandw246]

You are both Taurus???? Wow 😂 I haved played with Astro my whole life. You must butt heads a bit but one of must have a bit of a good chill sign in a chill area of your charts. You work so well together. Good Karma both. Otherwise you would be pushing each other accross a mountain somewhere 😂😂😂😂 You are an amazing couple and do incredibly video,s. You are incredibly gifted. Cant wait for each and every one . C,mon Sunday.

[@lizdevine7363]

Ah I always love taurus folk, really good fun people they can get pissed off but usually say it and move on! Ah you can see you guys adore each other! I'd say if ye butt heads ye hug shortly afterwards 😂

[@billienomates1606]

Could you not get some lockable and water tight storage boxes for the roof rack? Doing well on the build, I rather like walnut colour myself. Looking forward to the progress over the next couple of weeks.

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah we were thinking we should prob try take advantage of the roof rack a bit more, but man roof rack boxes are expensive! Maybe try and wangle a sponsor haha

[@WanderandCreate.withEmma]

Awesome job! I think on Instagram I voted for white, but seeing the dark against the white panel, it looks great!

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much 🥰 yeah love the dark

[@moneyprofessional]

Wow guys, so impressed with your skills, work ethic and enthusiasm. Maybe you could start a business one day converting vans! That mattress looks like it’s going to take all the space though! Although it’s a good anti security device when rolled up in the front!

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah we will defo need to take a few cm off the width of the mattress lmao

[@Shelty6]

That would be epic 🤣 come on three million haha

I would definitely have chosen a clear colour, a light yellow for instance (sunny colours); but than I personally don't like marron or brown, so that's normal 😄that I wouldn't have chosen it. Light colours make appear the space bigger - but this is your decision and if you like it, than it's OK. I'm admiring your hard work 👏👏👏- creating and living in the same tiny space must be quite hard - you are great 👍

Loving watching you two at work. Hopefully Melbourne is not stressing you out. Given you expect to be here for sometime if you need space or time out to freshen up we are in Ferntree Gully at the foot of the Dandenongs. We have a flat area of our driveway for you to work on also so don't hesitate if this would assist you guys.

Thanks so much David, that's super lovely of you ❤️ the weather in Melbourne has definitely been interesting. Dandenongs is meant to be very beautiful, hopefully we will get time to visit when this build is all done.
