I removed bags of old junk, scrubbed every inch, and stripped the interior down to its bare metal. The wiring was a mess, the floors were rotting, and the walls had holes in them. It was intimidating, but I kept reminding myself that every dream starts with a little hard work \u2014 and sometimes a lot of elbow grease.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"771\" data-end=\"1130\">\n<p data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1488\">Over the next few months, I slowly brought the van back to life. I insulated the walls, installed wooden paneling, and built a small but functional kitchenette with a sink, stove, and storage space.
