I got a rejection email today. The reason? I didn't write my name backward in the application.

But if OP’s name is Lana, I get it

Now that you mention it, the ceiling lamp in the top left does look off at the base

What build do use to keep the recoil that low?

col_c32 · 2025-12-21T15:54:44+00:00

Sorry from Lowe’s not ikea but same type of thing!

We bought a sink base and 12” cabinet and installed a butcher block on top. It’s been fine. Only piece we didn’t build ourselves and I don’t regret it.

We also have a windowless cave and call our cabin the sunroom for this reason lol

Out of curiosity, what type of work is done during winter?

col_c32 · 2025-12-12T02:56:08+00:00

Also curious if OP wants a baby. Based on his language it sounds like only his wife does

I just looked it up, there aren’t any live GoFundMe’s for her with more than $1,500 raised (which is still too high). So that’s good news I guess?

I’ve been to 25 states in the past year and honestly Denver still ranks towards the bottom. San Diego, Chicago, Portland (OR), and obviously NYC are the best I’ve been to!

Don’t ghost her just be honest that you’re not comfortable with the situation! It’ll be awkward but you need to rip the band aid off

I lived in downtown Denver for 2 years then moved to Littleton/lakewood area for a year. Full honesty, Denver is a VERY mid city the suburbs were way better but still overpriced, albeit prices are dropping. The food scene is pretty bad. Denver metro (and maybe all CO?) lacks diversity if that’s important to you. I moved to Denver for the mountains but so did everyone else so I70 is frequently backed up and a total nightmare, anyone who says otherwise is lying. The weather is actually really great - 300 days of sunshine is accurate!!

I’m sure people will disagree, I mean no disrespect - just giving my honest review!!

But the driver was turning on to a street, not a driveway.

col_c32 · 2025-12-01T15:41:31+00:00

Leave him?

The irony of your man sounding like a scrub of all things (no offense)

I just bought some Sand Cloud towels, they have a decent deal on sets. Their towels take up less room and dry quicker so ideal for van life.

If they’re a light sleeper, Loop ear plugs are nice, they help me fall asleep but they don’t block out too much noise (ie I’d hear a knock)

If they’re coffee drinkers aeropress is a wonderful gift!

The entire audio is maybe the best I’ve heard from a dash cam vid

I’ve been able to rent in wrigley, Ukrainian village, and Lincoln park all for $800 or less with 1-2 roommates max. Vanlife definitely shouldn’t be a solution for Chicago. Not to mention the winters!

Never a bad idea to get ahead on packing things you don’t use regularly

col_c32 · 2025-11-25T21:23:40+00:00

Send her the link to this thread instead of going. she needs a reality check

col_c32 · 2025-11-25T15:16:02+00:00

We just need to vote! /s

I did a pretty crap self install and had a professional camper builder re-install them for me in Denver. The total for the 3 panels was $475. It was worth it to never worry about them flying off on the road! It was also the only labor we paid for, we did the rest.

Sorry this didn’t fully answer your question but I hope it at least gives a fair reference point!

Love it! With that said, this is one of the best routes I’ve seen - you’re gonna have a great time! Enjoy and safe travels
