@@wildfirekristin I know that feeling.! I wondered if anyone was going to relate.

[@billmandaue2168]

A drop of household oil at each of the joints will help with the squeak on the piano hinges. Be sure to not let it drip on anything else and wipe down the hinges after you oil them. It's probably best to remove the seat top with the hinge attached and take them outside to apply the oil. Then, after you are sure no oil is coming out, reattach them.

[@kerrybeitzel3271]

I just use the trusty can of cooking spray...lol

[@michelle4ever29]

You are so lucky to have each other. I am recently divorced and have been going through everything alone. I have kids but i am here to protect them and help them get through these horrible days. My kids are mixed so right now is a really hard time for them and me. I am thankful to be part Irish myself we Irish are strong souls so ive been strong through all these. My kids are super strong through these hard days. God bless us all.

[@janmurphree152]

Ok..when you plant tomatoes...you will know this for next time...you take plant...take all leaves off from bottom up...leave very top leaves...then burry then all the way up to neck.so only leave top leaves out...this makes the stalks stronger...so they don't fall over as bad...buy square metal cages..put over them...they grow and the cages hold them

[@johnmorgan6812]

Trent and Allie. I am here in the uk and fell upon you vlog, at the start of our lock down, I have gone right back to the start and watched all of your vlogs and thumbs up on all of them. I am so addicted I have fallen in love with the warmth and charm of Allie ( Trent ur a lucky guy). Trent I love the deep voice and the fact ur ginger and have found the most beautiful woman. Please please keep ur vlogs coming as fast as you can. I have subscribed to a few people but you are by far my favourites I do believe you should be on tv I am totally captivated you guys are amazing. I pray to God that he blesses you with all of his blessings wow❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Tbone.357]

Retired painter here. You guys like to live on the edge without drop cloths when you're painting those cabinets. Lol. Also, I normally would cut in with the brush before rolling that way the look is consistent when you can roll tight up to where you cut in with the brush. Either way, results look fabulous!

[@vansionliving]

I was worried about them not having a dropcloth too, but they have that painting down to a science. Lol. They always impress me.

[@Infrawgnito]

However, together they are an unbreakable team. Watching the two of them work together even if it’s something as simple as preparing a meal reminds me of what a partnership and marriage should be. Your videos are an inspiration to all those who watch.

[@lkabt]

Seeing more of Allie, great.

[@Tracy-zj4sr]

Loving the green and off white interior. I've used that color green for decades. The van's blue was a gorgeous color but made the van quite dark and 'close' inside. This is a nice change. You'll never go back to the van now.

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

LOVE your tomato supports! My experience is that tomato vines will get huge if you let them (have had them grow up the side of an entire garage wall) so it will be interesting to see how they develop in that small space. I grow tomatoes in pots, but while I let them go up as far as they want, I use the Sicilian method of pruning, where you essentially remove all the non-fruit bearing stems as it grows. That way, I get big fruit (with the help of tomato set) even in pots.

[@aprilapril2]

Lyndsey MacPherson a bamboo pole would have worked .. such elaborate trellising for two piddly tomato plants, sledge hammer/nut springs to mind

[@aprilapril2]

Lyndsey MacPherson thank you x

[@ladypaw]

I hope Trent didn't wrap the string around the tomatoe stalk, limb, branch whatever you call it. It will choke it off as it grows. I use a tomato cage and I pinch off all new growth that comes in at the Y part, only keep fruit bearing branch. GOOD LUCK

[@56beverley]

My dad was a professional gardener and grew wonderful tomatoes. They don't need much water otherwise the roots will rot. They also need to be kept warm so put them in the hottest place in your greenhouse.

My wife and I have been married 46 years today and watching you guys build and paint your new home brought back so many memories. Thanks for what you do!

[@mcoffey56]

I was a pro painter for 17 years. You're killing yourself with those 6" pencil rollers. Get a 9" standard with 3/8" to 1/2" nap. Do all the surfaces you can with that roller, then follow up with the short stuff if you have to. You won't hurt anything if you drip a little paint if you're using drop clothes. You'll cut the effort in half, cover more with less and be glad you did. Good luck!

[@Wdeane1957]

And it would have been much more efficient leaving the installation of the timber flooring until after the painting is done. A few drips or splatters on the linoleum wouldn't matter.

[@tinydancer7426]

@@Wdeane1957 That's what I thought all along and when they went ahead and put down the new floor, I figured they would put do heavy paper to protect the floor from drips, scrapes and general abrasion from their work boots...... you know like how contractors protect a new floor surface when have to work after it has been put down. But, they are learning as they go. I still do not understand why they have not made a list of the different projects for the inside of the camper, you know, the old "check list".

[@Whateverhappened2commonsense]

I've been a professional painter going on 25 yrs and yea.. 9" on the wall and 4" mini roller for the cabinet fronts.. Either way they are doing great!

[@L-Anded]

@mcoffey56 @Gordon Schaffner I've been a sign maker for 45 years which means I have painted many sizes and shapes and nooks and crannys.

[@emmahardesty4330]

Your videos are fun and helpful. Here's some tomato plant info for you: replant them all, sideways like the one that was trying to do it for itself, until those long stems are completely buried in the soil, leaving about four inches above ground before the first sets of leaves. Roots will form quickly along the buried stem, and your plants will thrive thereafter with your usual care.

[@rommelbillman4681]

I absolutely love the colors you’ve chosen; it reminds me of the ranger buildings in the national parks. It brings back fond memories. Green is my favorite color, it always reminds me of the presence of life. The use of natural wood just adds an element of warmth and coziness that screams “welcome you’re home”. love the supports you’ve built in the garden. My daughter lives in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on Lake Superior. Their growing season is short but bountiful. She built supports that look very similar to yours and they work perfectly. I love it when you include a glimpse of Frank. Oso and all the girls in your videos. Thanks for letting us all into your world. I really enjoy and look forward to your videos. God.s blessings to you both. 🤗

[@dongarner3793]

I love the interplay between Trent (my glass is half empty - probably has a hole in it) and Allie (my glass is not only full but is overflowing. It is so uplifting to watch a couple who are so in love and dedicated to each other

[@lavonnes4284]

When you planted the tomatoes, you should have buried all that long part of the stem.... That helps stabilize the plant and that stem that is buried on the side becomes part of the root system.

[@thomaspushee43]

This is true and don't forget to prune

[@lynniev]

Loved Allie's sassy attitude in this video. She cracked me up. The sunset drone shot was amazing. Good work guys!!

[@pirakoXX]

This dusty green color is SO nice and goes perfectly with the floor and countertops (y) When I rented my current house 8 years ago I almost cried when I saw the same green color, just a bit more light, at cabinet doors in my kitchen, but I got to love the color so much and decided I will have the same color in my Tiny Home. But after watching this video, I might go with yours, slightly darker, green color instead. :D And with white walls, but light pine floors, to match my other things. It will be my future TH, which I'm about to buy right now: a used trailer, 7,2 m (28 ft) long, 2,3 m (8ft) wide and 3,25 m tall (inside height 8 ft), which have been used for workers to change their clothes and have their meals in, and it's insulated and with electricity, water heater, toilet, shower, plumbing, etc, and the prize is less than 2000 US dollars!! A lot needs to be changed to become a Tiny House for full-time living, (f.x. new inside walls and new insulation (min. 200 mm) but the most important structure is in very good condition. And I for sure will continue to watch all your videos to get inspiration from you, but not just because of that, but because you are great people and always make my day a little brighter. Thank you SO much for being you and amazing people in so many ways!

[@sophiajoyceferry7150]

Hi Pia, Sounds awesome, great price you paid for it & it's almost a blank canvas for you to deck it out inside just the way you want it, Extra bonus the plumbing & electrical part is all done, What your doing is exactly the way I want to go, The easy part is the actual living quarters, Finding the land to be able to put your tiny home on is the hard part, so your lucky you have found the land to put your home on, I wish you all the best for your new life adventure in your tiny home, Cheers from Sophia in Melbourne Australia.

[@fredishaffer1636]

When I paint I need the floor covered. You are the paint Gods for being able to have no drips - anywhere. Impressed.

[@rikscarpino6299]

Might be better to use ripped up sheets in 2 inch wide by 2 foot, so as to gently cradle your tomatoes instead of string, Which may cause the vines to break. Once your vines bend it will not produce fruit. Your wooden supports are fine. Love the new Terry build, bringing life back to an older travel trailer is lots of work. The homestead is looking great, “keep on trucking” Rikky🤪😊 P.S. you can try graphite on the piano hinges it works well for medal on medal. Never use spray lubricants they only collect dust and will only help for a short amount of time. I use graphite when I repair gymnastics equipment. “It really works” Hoping this helps out.

[@rikscarpino6299]

Thank you for the nice reply Trent and Allie. Rik🤪

[@sammic974]

I never realised a bent stalk stopped fruiting. I must watch all mine this year to see how one bent one compares to all the others.

[@TheOleHermit]

But, how do you get graphite inside a piano hinge? 🤔 I would have used WD40, which technically isn't a lubricant (WD = Water Displacement) and leaves behind a dry film of protection. I've also noticed that piano hinges also squeak (always after installed). Now, I'm wondering whether the squeak is caused by a burr left on the end of the hinge rod, from cutting the hinge to length. (Things that me me go, "Hmmmm?")😎

[@TheOleHermit]

@Shayne Punim Trent wears panty hose?

[@robert-ne1835]

As others have stated, use a wire cage for the tomato plants. You can get it in a large-opening grid like 4”x6” or something like that, so it supports the plant but allows the tomato’s to grow and be picked. It comes in rolls, and just cut a “cylinder” of cage 1’-2’ in diameter depending on the size of your plants and your overall working space.

[@ashmiles2]

I love what you did to support the tomatoes! It's so basic and yet so effective. No fancy equipment but it does the job. I also like how one side can be used to support the peas growing next to it, and believe me, peas need something to climb up. Trent, you are so resourceful and talented. I miss Frank though!! Please put him in your next video! Even if it's just him hanging around the house or yard.

[@ahonenp]

Your green dried into a very rich color. Living up in northern Wisconsin, I have a lot of greens in my house. None of them are the same green, but they just live together nicely. Green is very relaxing. You will love your choice. Enjoying the journey you are allowing me to take with you. I look forward to Mondays and Fridays.

[@TheCovetedGroup]

We thought of Wisconsin when we saw the green as well!

[@TheCovetedGroup]

We called it "Wisconsin green" 😂😂

[@roberthamilton8727]

KeepingUpWithTheJones For you Wisconsinites, how about calling it “Packer” green.

[@ahonenp]

Robert HAMILTON Sorry....that is not even close to Packer Green...

[@MsTitanic99]

Terry is looking good it's fun to watch. As for the garden. There are tomato stakes. They look like a small dowel rod, or use a small dowel rod to support the stem/ stalk. You can also get velco-like tape to thape the stem to the stake. Tomato cages work well also. The cage gives you more places to support the plant.

[@Eurocatbaby]

My Mom's compliment to my Dad was he was as handy as a pocket on a shirt. Trent you are really as handy as a pocket on a shirt. Amazing the things you have accomplished. Love the green color. Maybe you need a punch list like Eamon and Bec. They get so excited to see things marked off. They only do the list for the day not everything that needs to be done. Helps with being overwhelmed. Of course, this week Bec went into clean freak which was funny. My hubby doesn't let me paint because he is a perfectionist. Can't wait for the finished project.

[@barbaraness4507]

4:01 So my husband is what some might consider to be an expert gardener, especially with tomatoes. He says the most important thing is to keep from putting stree on the plant. As it bears fruit and gets heavier the places where it’s tied may start cutting into the plant. He usually puts his plants in a wire cage so that the branches can rest on the wire.

[@alifeofdiversions3174]

You guys are so cute! Even when you’re arguing it cracks me up! I love that green color. It’s very soothing. I feel like crying. My van build is at a stand still. I also got edged out of working on it. It’s my son and the project manager. So the business has picked back up so nothings been done for 2 weeks. I’ve moved so many times I think I have whiplash. I’m in an apartment with no furniture. I sold everything. Enough bitching. Watching y’all gives me hope.

[@kayscovill2361]

Trellis looks good. Don’t forget to pick out the suckers in the crooks of the tomato branches! Suckers are an extra branch between main stem and branch. Called suckers ‘cuz they suck energy from the plant. Also, be sure your tomato soil has calcium in it- prevents blossom end rot.

[@snehachatterjee5729]

I am seriously addicted to you guys. Love you both so much💝

[@yellowroseoftexas2890]

Tomato cages or use chicken wire to cover the wooden frame which gives you a great surface to train beans & tomato vines. Love the green with the dove.

[@randypetersen4688]

[@ronnowlin4223]

So so so satisfying! Trent I agree. When you work on your wood and it fits just right, nice and tight, out of sight... Terry is coming together beautifully! Product and color scheme, right on. I think Trent is Jonesing for the open road. He is tweaking a little bit. Thanks to Allies stability and Sanity. Keeps you guys the best on the tube!!!

[@JensGraikowski]

Gorgeous colours! 👍🏼😉 Tip for Trent and his tomato frames. The plants are going to grow (and quite rapidly too), which means that the cords are going to loosen up and will need to be adjusted almost daily. If you hang the cord over the frame (make sure there's not much friction) and hang a light weight at the other end they'll self-adjust. 😉

[@isabellavalentino5331]

Jens Graikowski the cords shouldn't loosen over time since upward growth occurs at the shoot meristem and not from below (sites.google.com/a/canacad.ac.jp/dpbio-davef/10-botany/9-3-growth-in-plants). the cords just won't be able to sufficiently support additional stem growth beyond the place they secured them

[@JensGraikowski]

Ok, @@isabellavalentino5331, I'll take your word for it (since the link you provided is not working for me). I just saw that method somewhere and it made sense to me. 😁

[@CeilidhGood]

You should definitely get a cute screen tent - you can store all that trailer stuff in it, instead of moving things in and out. And later it would be a great accessory for the trailer. It works surprisingly well - I used one as a home office for a whole summer, and nothing was weather-damaged, not even the computer! I rigged shower curtains on the frame to keep rain out. (Of course, this only works if theft is not a problem in your area.)

[@joemiller8929]

I'm so proud of you two. It's coming along great..... Since I've worked in the RV industry for the past 20 plus years here in Northern Indiana in the OEM side of the industry I hope that you've gone over ALL the exterior moldings and seems. ESPECIALLY all 4 corners... I've done everything from production, service work and warranty. I would so hate to see all that beautiful work being done to find out there's a leak that needs to be fixed. As long as all the seems are ok it should be good..... 😎😎😎

[@rouxchat6033]

Yep, currently resealing my truck camper. Hardest part is removing all the old sealant. Moisture is the biggest enemy of RVs.

[@AmaranthineIntrigue]

Yo! You can plant your tomato plants down in the soil further. Any part of the stem will grow roots. When the plant is so tall and "stringing" rather than having a sturdy, thick stem that is proportionate to the branches and height of the whole plant, it tends to lean more. As you can image, with fruit on the plant this will be even more of a problem as the stem can break. So you want to plant it about 1 to 3 inches from the first leaves. Tomato cages large square wire fencing are good too to help support the fruit laden plants. So exciting!

[@karenknowles1537]

I have owned three travel trailers, when someone broke into ours here is what I learned. There are about five different keys for the door lock. The woman who broke into our (stole all our electronics) used a key. It was not the exact key but she was able to make it work. Always use the deadbolt and it is a good idea to add another lock.

[@gladysanderson1351]

good to know. Changing the locks is a great idea, and not hard to do. The deadbolt adds a bit more to it, though.

[@jamiepollard5726]

We have half our tomatoes in cages and half tied to bamboo stakes.

[@L.L.Cool.T]

I will say that the stakes didn’t hold up for me in a shallow garden bed. They couldn’t go down deep enough. But a cage that sits atop the soil might work.

[@phyllispawa5793]

About the tomatoes. We always use plant cages or tomato cages from a plant or garden store

[@Linda-9037]

I love the color..my whole house is done in that color...I did my trim in stark white to contrast...it's BEAUTIFUL.

[@bladedemissary]

For squeaky piano hinge : Lubricating the hinge with petroleum jelly or a synthetic teflon lubricant can help. My grandpa used to swear by using just a plain old bar of soap rubbed over the hinge pin than re-inserting it. My father uses q-tips to apply vaseline on the hinge pin and then re-inserting it. Don't use WD-40 - it gunks up after time and attracts dust as well which gums it up worse after a while.

[@mango8918]

I don't know guys but, I'm thinking that with all the work you've put into this and the attention to aesthetic detail, this might be the end of van life and a transition to camper life. With the truck and more living space for you and Frank, this looks like the perfect alternative to the van. Also, there is no need to sacrifice space for a garage to house bikes, etc. when they can go in the truck. Looks like a plan to me. It's turning out beautifully!

Only advice on the tomato supports (if you don't already know) is to keep an eye on the points where you tie the plant. As it grows the stems grow in circumference needing some wiggle room or else they could be girdled (i.e. strangled) by thier own growth.

You can stop the squeak from the hinges with a white candle to take a white candle stick and you rub it all over those hinges, Front back side and you have to do it probably every 3 to 6 months depending on how much you use it but the candle wax works amazing to keep hinges quiet you could put some round sticky pads on the corners two to close it gently

Reminds me of avocado green from the 1960s or 70s. Hope they get a harvest gold colored stove !

Its G.I. Jane but anyway yea.. great color!

Great idea to support the plants as they grow. I do that in our Flower Garden with young bushes.

[@pamelanaylor6283]

Trellis looks great! I thoroughly enjoy your journey. Two tips: Don't tie onto the plant - run the cord around the wood at different heights & let the tomato lean on it for support. Add a couple vertical trellis pieces in the back (at least one in between the plants) then just tie the cord zig zag fashion front to back of the trellis. (run 2 levels for now - 2/3 of the height of the trellis. As the plants grow in height, then add another level of cord at the top of the trellis) Tomatoes like to be planted deeper than other plants & will shoot roots all the way up the stem - mound some soil up around the stems, especially the one that fell over needs soil piled up around the trunk. Best of luck to you!

I feel like I ask my husband "what is wrong with you?" at least once a day lol. I completely understand you Allie!

[@jessicaherrerabrown]

Also, y'all have become my favorite van life couple. I click on your videos first.

[@christopherslaughter303]

we should be asking you "what is wrong with you?" for marrying him in the 1st place. lol lo lo lo l

[@TheOleHermit]

That's what wives are for, right?🤣😂🤣

[@DaRkw1ngCS2]

I'm really liking the contrast of the darker floors/butcherblock and the GI Jane green.

[@billiehorne8027]

The "Terry" is coming along beautifully. That color is awesome 👌😍👌. Very soothing. And Trent, your hinge work, worked! LoL My jaw dropped when I seen the fridge. I thought y'all had painted it with the stainless paint. But then I saw it was just a cover over it. 😏 As far as the perfect painter... Let's just say NOONE is perfect. And if there are flaws in it so what. Just gives it character 😉. Both of y'all have made it your own. Makes me happy to see you guys happy! Your home will be the reflection of both. Keep the videos coming. Good job! Lots of love and blessings to y'all from Georgia! 💗

[@sharobusch8049]

Yeahh!!! What a nice surprise this morning, a new video. Love the green. You guys work in so much harmony, I can't say the same for my husband and I. I never forget when he did the first piece of cabinet for our van, he was so happy to show me and I saw it and immediately realize that it was to high ...at the end he saw light and build so much better. Have a great rest of the week.

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

Oh I love love the colors! Trent you better behave you might feel that nail gun one day LOL. Allie it was nice seeing more of you today. Trent I think your tomato cage might do the trick but I'd use a different type of material to tie them. I've always used cotton twine. That rope might be a bit much. Terry is turning out awesome. Missed the pups and goats today. I can't wait till Friday. Have an awesome week.

[@ralphnsandimartin]

If you want to know how to strengthen the stems on your tomato plants to make them stronger then best thing you can do is put a oscillating fan to blow back and forth on them. Trees and tomatoes plants get gain rooting and strength from wind.

[@billysimon767]

Way to go Allie. Give him a dose of "Trent medicine". LOL

[@julez_gee9001]

So... I've been following you guys since Don't Stop Belizin and recently went back to the very beginning and binge watched every single episode. And wow. What a channel you two have created. Its no wonder your follow count is climbing by the day. To any new followers, I highly HIGHLY recommend going back to the start and following the journey from the beginning. So many tearjerkers... the proposal, the flat tyre, the goodbyes to Leave Everything and Wander., Trent's surfing episode, that flight that couldn't land, the orphanage, the volcanoes, your tribute vid to Nomadic Movement, the kindness of the people you've met along the road, Frank and his absolute adorableness, and not forgetting having to leave the van. THANK YOU for sharing your adventures with us. I'm a little sad I've caught up with all your episodes, but I am SO excited for what's coming next.

you're gonna make us cry😭

Tomatos naturally fall over and along the ground. They make tomato cages for that very purpose they are made of wire

[@keriezy]

That's what I was thinking. Cages makes life so much easier, and they're cheap so you don't mind if you throw them away at the end of the year.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

That's a heck of a lot easier too.

[@carolineerdmann3631]

And it also helps with othe🌾 flowers .

[@starflower703]

keriezy I don’t think their dirt is deep enough to hold the cage upright.

[@bele9210]

No way! That’s pretty much exactly the colour I imagined! Seeing all the white and timber I thought a nice foresty/sagey green would look so cozy and classy. Nice choice, Trent & Allie 👍🏼

[@blancaalvarez5769]

First of all, i am ADDICTED to this channel, i went back and started watching every playlist on the channel and i am so close to being done with the whole thing!!! That being said, why are you guys into dark colors? I don't hate it! they're just strong, dark colors, like the blue in the van, now the green 😕 after trent mentioned in the last video that he likes how bright colors open up the room and make it feel so much bigger after allie had put on the primer, i thought you guys were finally go with at least a little more vibrant colors. But anyway, still love the videos as much as ever and i can't wait to keep watching and for what's to come!!! Like when you guys get back to the van, start making your way back up to the United States, to when you guys get married next summer (that's what you guys said on a video i just watched where you guys check out venues for the wedding and you mentioned you were thinking it might happen summer 2021). I also love seeing you guys in Utah at gloria's house!!! Working on all the projects and terry! So definitely mixed emotions, can't wait to see the video where you are back in the van for the first time after escaping the pandemic, but i definitely want to see more of you guys in Utah with Terry, maybe doing some camping, showing us some beautiful sites from Utah, it would be so exciting!!!😃

[@TheOleHermit]

IMO, the strong colors and solid butcher blocks reflect their strong, solid bond to each other. The vibrance is in their hearts. Why be negative about other ppl's color choices, when they will be the ones living with it, not us.

Thanks for the videos, they cheer us up and give us courage as we tackle our RV renovations. We have used the last 3 months to update our RV. We ripped out a closet and walls (because we had damage from leaking), installed new walls, cabinet, lighting and upgraded part of the bathroom. We have 2 weeks left to spackle, paint and put it all back together before our first camping trip of the year to Ithaca, NY. Thank you for all the inspiration and your positive outlook, even in difficult times. Good luck to you in accomplishing your tiny home and planning your first trip.

[@rebeccaoliver7977]

Anyone else find themselves saying, "Yep, listen to Allie" :-) Paint looks great! I relate to you both in part because I'm a type A personality -- always going full throttle. People ask, what's the hurry? My response is there's life to be lived. Are you on a deadline or just aware there's a life to be lived?

Allie you are a ray of sunshine. Trent is very lucky to have you 🌞🌞🌞
