It's about time you got back to work 😂😂😂.. Leaving all your TH-cam fans hanging ..Great job 👍👍👍

[@artsyreclaimed6821]

Thank you. We missed making the videos almost as much as we missed working on the bus. Thanks for following the journey.

[@mairinixon1]

How'd you make the light patches so flush?! It looks great!

[@cntryby]

Ya'll make'n good process... about the time ya'll get done you can come help with ours. ;-)

[@artsyreclaimed6821]

Thanks. We’re having a great time building the bus.

[@DieselRamcharger]

What kind of camera do you guys film with? I would really like to start documenting some of the stuff we do. But i wouldnt even know where to start. Your videos look great. I need something i can record in long format and edit it down later. watcha think?

[@artsyreclaimed6821]

We use a GoPro 8 and a Cannon M50...sometimes the iPhone. The Cannon does the lion’s share of the work.

[@dwjr5129]

Where ya’ll been? Chillin for the winter?

[@artsyreclaimed6821]

Literally 😂
I thought the cold wouldn’t bother me but it’s my first Pittsburgh winter in 20 years. Family time has been great but we’re excited to get back at it.

[@dwjr5129]

@@artsyreclaimed6821 looking forward to watching the build. Are you guys planning on living in it or is it just a vacation thing? Sorry if you’ve addressed that and I missed it somewhere.

[@artsyreclaimed6821]

We plan on living on the bus...about 3/4 time. Our friends have a ranch and have offered us a garage apartment as a “home base” when we get road weary. After living on the road for a couple years, we recognize the value in having a property to call home. 😊

[@briandavis9975]

Did you think about just welding up the holes?

[@artsyreclaimed6821]

Yes, thought about it but didn’t feel like getting out the welder. In the end, welding might have saved time but we enjoyed experimenting with Bondo Glass.
