We are Duca and Roberta, a Brazilian couple that during a sabbatical trip in 2016 decided to follow our dream. So, we created "Odd Life Crafting", a project composed of many smaller projects that we call seasons.
The first one was the creation of Odd Life Crafting. The idea was to build a metal boat to be able to travel the world taking our house with us, but we didn't have money for that. So, we started the next season: we built a tiny shipping container house with no prior experience in building to gain some skills to build a boat. When we were almost finished we found a boat 700km away from our hometown that was neglected for over 22 years and we spent 2 years refitting her (Season 3). On the season 4 we sailed for 2 years (exploring the Brazilian coast and part of the Caribbean), we sold our boat and we moved to Europe. The last season we are starting to build a new aluminum 43ft sailboat and a new life.

We hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.

    Ducca, your a celebrity! Roberta, we are all praying for you and the baby. Great episode, so flowing and full of informative information.
  • @patmoreau1380
    Duca is the most meticulous person I've ever watched. Attention to detail a must. This is going to be best boat and van build I've ever seen and I can't wait. Power on!👍👍👍
  • @johngafford1302
    So glad you gave a great explanation of why you are building your camper/van. Now we understand how you are gaining experience for when it’s time to start building the interior of your boat. 👍
  • Hello Friends. Just one thing. May or may not be critical depending on how much power you're going to put through the system. Inverters and charge controller need to be mounted upright. They are designed to disperse heat from the heat sinks better in the upright position and should never be mounted sideways. Just ask Xantrex if they will still warranty the unit mounted like that. If you're ever in doubt about mounting gear, always best to ask the people that manufacture it. Enjoying the build. :hand-purple-blue-peace:

    As always...you two brighten my day. Even when things go sideways, you push ahead with a positive atttude and smiles. Thank you for continuing to share your journey from tiny house, to ODD, to conversion van, to ODD 2.0! We're with you all the way!!! 😎⛵👍
  • @allenclark1914

    Fantastic work being done here. This is going to be an easier van to live in as everything is being thought through carefully. Things are looking great so far. Keep well and safe. James.

  • They have a liquid electrical tape that works very well when you don't have heat shrink. It is a solid seal from moisture and other contaminates as I have used it for many years................ enjoy
  • @petefranghis738
