Almooooost did it!! This will be the BEST winter for Clementine 🧡 its going to such a great space and if you caught the end are you ready for a new build where the sun shines and there’s 🌮? See you next week amigos 😉

I’ll watch your videos no matter what! You truly don’t need to do the clickbait titles “it didn’t work out”. Be better than the rest of clickbait KZbinrs!

We didn’t make it!!!! lol such a large effort but we will finish in spring 😊

[@michaelbryant2071]

Well, you got a personal reaction.

[@nicothenatural]

I didn't take it as click bait. I immediately knew it was regarding their latest build before leaving for Mexico.

[@katea8583]

Look. I love them and watch every video. I’m just saying they don’t need to use the cryptic titles. In my opinion it screams clickbait.

Thanks for the kudos Mark. 😊🐶

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

Now that was an awesome purchase two containers both virtually new. I see so many in other channels and they spend so much money repairing them before painting even gets done. Appreciate its down to how much folk have to spend, but the number of hours spent for me is not cost effective. That paint system you used was a game changer, loved your faces smiling whilst putting your vehicles in your own storage units. You smashed it xxxxx ❤️❤️

[@Vanwives]

Thank you Stewart for all your kind words. We think they will last a long while… will finish this one come spring! Happy Sunday. 😊🐶

[@lindadavis4013]

Finally, a garage for the vehicles. You told me it was in the plan; and you did it!! Awesome!! Enjoy your WARM time away.

Make sure you don’t leave those batteries on the floor of the container or on concrete they should be insulated from where you’re sitting them on put them on wood or rubbers or something. That way they won’t discharge completely dead over the winter.
