Yes! Lulu loves the van! She thinks it's a giant dog bed for her!

My wife and I have had her almost a year now. We have never had a dog like her before; a dog that LOVES other dogs and people. She will make a perfect van dog. I am very excited for my first trip in the van. My Wife gets back from visiting family on 8/3. So I have a couple days to finish a few small details.

My plan is to use it for a little while, then sell it and build another van. A van I can stand up in. I bloodied my head during this build. It became painfully clear that I wanted a taller van. (bad puns? Really? no one likes those)

Thanks!

You could make a living out of this. Beats real work.

Thanks! That's a nice compliment! This is also something I have been thinking about.

I would love to be Livin' the Dream!


You know, making money doing something you love.

On the other hand...
When you do a hobby for income it becomes your job. Jobs aren't fun.

Part or parts of any job are not fun! IMO, the building part is really FUN! But, the part where I would have to use social media to hopefully find new customers, and then possibly explain why the design they want is not possible to build; Would SUCK!

So yeah, I hear what you are saying!

So yeah, I hear what you are saying!
And when they keep changing their mind.
And when they won't pay you.
And when they break it and say it is your fault.
And when they waste your time getting quotes and then say no.
And when they are just normal retail customer morons.

And for me:

When you have to do something instead of want to do something...

Isn't that why Ken Block hated racing? I think it was him. As soon as it became his job to race he no longer liked racing so he quit that and does what he does now.


(I could be making that up, but I'm off to bed so no research to support my claim!)
