Hello, My Name is Dawn and I recently moved into a new-to-me 2001 Chevy Express. I've been busy with renovations and I'm doing two big ones today. A new bed and some new storage.

Presents are wonderful, but the van is well stocked at the moment. But I love stickers and letters if you really feel motivated to send something.

P.s. My dad wanted a boy....I love building too. My husband can't pound a nail and when he does I have to go repair it. Well done. X

You've done a great job, Dawn! I'd have kept that roof top storage, too. It's always good for a lot of things you don't want in your van. So happy for you, Miss Bubbly!

[expressvanlife]

Nice. you might want to drill vent holes in the bed top.

I'm so happy for you!! The funny thing is I prayed for you to get a bigger van back when you had car trouble when you got to Oregon and that stayed in my mind. Now look at how God Blessed you abundantly!!!! Keep living your Dream!!!

I am so amazed the things that you do on your own looks awesome stay blessed safe and healthy🙏🌝💜💕

[debrandw]

Awesome job girl. Well done. Those camp beds are not very comfortable and never fit. Unless you are in a tent or a girl' scout. Hahaha. Your bed looks incredible and your cabinets do flow beautifully. Really nice. Thank you for a great video. 👍 ♥️

Great job Dawn. You just keep on improving on your home. I love it.

[jonisjourneys]

Feels good, doesn’t it😊 your new van is quickly becoming your new home🌻

You are so smart & talented. I barely turned 66 and have just learned how to use the tools to help my son rip down our old deck & build a new one. I wish I learned these skills years ago.

I love how the Chanel is growing so fast

The music here is great, I feel like I'm watching an old Shaft or Super Fly movie from the 70's, keep waiting for Richard Rountree to come out from behind the van. ✊🤩

[rrhopewell]

That was a good bed platform. Your so good with building.

[justmyopinion]

Hi Dawn. You built a beautiful bed platform. I didn't know you had carpenter skills.

[kathymorris]

So great that you know how to do all this stuff. So brave.
