This is more about having a good relationship and moving forward , I had a girlfriend that would take a year just to argue about what color we should paint something.
😂😂😂😂
That's why she is ur ex
@@eka-bish6197😂
It’s about redesigning the bus bro
@@fernie6299are you the ex?
My parents in 1975 bought a school bus and we lived in it full time on the road pulling a shop trailer making redwood signs for 22 years full time 22 years I was 14 when the started and went on my own at 18-19 years old t thought we where poor now in 2023 I know we lived best life ever key west to Seattle to San Diago to NY.
I wish you’all happy trails
It seems lockdown doesn't apply to your family during the pandemic.
That is an awesome story! I'm curious, after you went on your own, did you end up being 'travel' orientated or did you feel the need to settle down in 1 place?
@@appliancetraining you ask so I’ll tell you when I was 25 I went alone to Pakistan to the mountains later I drove to Acapulco so yes I still love to go but now I’m just a snow bird between Enseñada and Northern California
@@rodneymacomber6337 very cool, again thanks for sharing. Sorry to keep asking…. what took you to Pakistan? So far a way. (I’ve been ‘trapped’ in a family business for a while and have never left the country alone, but have always thought it would help me in some way to do so)
It will be very cosy with this wooden cover. Congratulations. Its so much work.
Love how you are doing this together 👍🏽❤️
Absolutely superb! Outstanding work. Your passion and talent is admirable.
Two weeks into the first trip with that thing "I'm pregnant"... Damn, gotta sell the bus now, lol
Nice job. We did a 40 foot dog nose a couple years ago. They are fun. Best of luck to you both.
Excellent job and beginning. I sort of had a feeling you had some welding experience. Great to see your parents lend helping hands.
Looks fantastic so far!! 👍
Hi guys well done so far. You brought some good skills to the job and with help from your family n friends you will save so much money and will know all there is to be able to do repairs. This is a part of your travels and you will be able to look back with great pride. I’ve done similar jobs and wish I still had your fitness and enthusiasm. Keep going. Cheers Laurie from Tasmania oz
I love this and the jazz in the back ground is amazing
Awesome rig! Looks great!
I knew a guy who converted diesel pusher busses to motor homes. The key to putting metal in the windows place, is to heat the metal with sun lamps then drill and weld them in place, when it cools, it will be tight/flat surface.
Молодцы ребята! Девочка вообще герой! 😊 Респект!
All that bending over would have killed my back. Thanks for sharing your experience and hard work!
Огромная, сложная работа. Вы большие молодцы. Благослови вас бог.
OH MY GOD!!! Your seats use bolts?
I had to grind 4 steel rivets from each of the seats, in my 37ft bus! Huge job.
That's a big job. I'm shore you do for your height. Pray you keep the bus. God bless mick Australia. Just join. Thum up. 👍
My dream is also to have a caravan like that..even i don't have a house and i only have that it's really really ok to me to stay there❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍
You did a great job.
Really liked it
Proud of you for no bickering or arguing. Flawless!
Editing is a wonderful thing 😂
That is awesome. Way to go on innovation!
Wow wow wow! This is so great so far. Great job, honestly it looks like you found Chuck Cassidy's channel and took on board a lot of really good advice. No holes barred with the fantastic choice of insulation. Proud of you, keep it up!
Also, awesome price on the bus to begin with.
Great job but hey I can’t help but to think… it’s like your journey is actually more preparing than actually traveling.. I hope that you guys will be able to use the bus for the time that is much longer than you guys spent prepping the bus.
Salve casal de construtores tá ficando top, está casa.
Well done!
Looks like a lot of fun and a whole lot of work for something that is going to shake a part on the road.
It's the engine I'm wondering about. That's a great price but that's because fixing the engine's going to cost 40 Grand this might have been a lot of work for nothing
Wow!!! More please!!
Great job guys ❤
❤❤❤ Hello, I'm very happy to watch your video, wish you good health and happiness.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible work 😮
Great project! Its goona be sweet!
수고하셧습니다
자 이제출발~~~❤
Living the dream 🙏
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!
Respect!
Good job 👍👍👍
OMG I can't wait to see!!
Just WOW
Dang, those kinds of bluebirds weren’t even made until 2008! Unless it had to hood-swap, which happened to my school’s 112! Fun fact! I used to ride 112
A talent!
Supported fam, keep going guys
I hated removing those tracks in my bus! That was one of the worst parts with the exception of the 10,000 rivets I had to remove. Hahaha
Lol that is so relatable haha
Thanks for the decent background music. Far too many videos have annoying music/noise that HAS to be muted. Great Video!
Nice bro I want to see more of your vlog
This is so cool. I hope to do something similar someday :)
Thanks! It’s quite the journey!
Someday never comes. Do it now.
@@maddyandzach 🎉😂
😂 skoolie. Sounds so funny.
woww i will try this
School busses and Uhaul truck's frames, suspensions, and drivetrain are built like tank's. Most have no idea.
many thanks guys
amazing work🎉👍
That's wicked
Incredible .. love it. Dr William Mount
Great vid
Amazing work great job😊😊😊
Wonderful 😉
You guys are doing a great job 👍
That's really neat to see that being done. Like to see it in a full video, at normal speed.
T.V. be like.. Okay!.. We need this bus tore down and rebuilt, and it has too be done in 3 days! 😳 🤬
Just realized I live in the place they bought the bus from lol
Well done guys, keep up the great work
Thanks!
Wish you kept more windows and maybe added some skylights but looks like a fun project!
Take out the seats, put carpet in the floor, paint the inside and then decide what you want it to look like inside.
Awesome!
Hi from Ukraine 🎉
Hi from America,,, just wondering, are you guys still being attacked?
Great job but mostly I enjoy that you guys live the adventure together I do question the overall weight of the finished home I feel some lighter material could have been used
👍🏻👍🏻the school district called wants their bus back 😄😄😄😄
I am for you all that your so proud of it but I am never going to do that!
The weight of the wood decreases has milage very significantly. Did it to van in late 70s miles per gl.was nuts like 6 pr 8 mpgs. Just saying and in the mountains lololololol 3or4 mpgs. A bus has to be worse. Looks great no question the question is are you driving or docking. That's what will really matter. Financially.
Would it have been cheaper in the long run to find a used Greyhound bus and convert it? They are built to handle many more miles.. BTW you guys are doing a great job... If that is Limestone Tn, I'm just up the street...
Mais um inscrito.
I would have just put down new sheathing on the floor and saved weeks of work and back braking labor.
Good 👍
I wished my last two years had passed in ten minutes.
Nice frend
Your Girl is a bad ass, you’re so lucky and what an awesome family and your great friend to help. Enjoy drive safe. Peace
I love you both you guys have a good vibe together
two years in the last ten seconds
Longer videos! 👍🏻🇺🇸
I have seen old school busses converted into nice camping mobile homes with 2 bedrooms bath kitchen
You have to have a plan and follow through
What is the year and model of the bus, I’m curious cause that seems like a perfect size for me
It's a 2008 Bluebird vision. Its 29 feet long!
I live in limestone county!
Amazing how you guys accomplished this in 10 minutes :)
2years😂
What did you do with all those seats? You could have made them into seating for booths just have to add the table. Food for thought. That is a School bus.
damn at backing this beast for parking tho
What’s the easiest way to get the bus windows out when they have rivets??
Probably an air chisel. If you have an air compressor you just need the chisel attachment and it's not to expensive.
This is amazing, such a patience and hard work. Did you do this as part time work or full time?
👏👏👏
Aren't you insulating the walls/floor/ceiling? I didnt see you putting in any sort of sound proofing either. Surely that will make the bus really echoey??
We insulated the walls and ceiling with 2 inches of closed cell spray foam and have 2 inches of rigid foam on the floor. We also put killmats throughout.
@@maddyandzach Oh I missed that bit 🤣🤣
3,300?! That’s honestly pretty decent
Gonna find em cheap. Cuz taking them apart and completely redoing the inside is hella expensive
I think that about the average right now, from what I've seen lately
No way you can even find one running for that price. Definitely not one that clean.
Cost of bus? Wonder what budget was
A running pre-2005 skoolie with seat rows, little rust, factory paint, working cond... $8000-10000
Super cool. Love it. What floor heating system was used and was it a worth it?
We used an Espar D5e heater and it works amazing! Kept us warm even when well below freezing.
I would have liked to watch the footage not in fast motion. Actually in slow motion to watch her. Mannnnnnnnnnnn what a specimen. Wow. Definition of beauty.
Take it easy creepy, why not just run off and find your lotion bottle with your thoughts to yourself. Always has to be that guy. Couldn’t just say wow she’s beautiful and I’m not talking about the bus. ?
@@fargoalspach557 I was being complimentary! An absolute beauty! Admiring her like a beautiful sunset or mountain scene....
Bro wtf...
A specimen? Your entire comment is ignorant and predatory. Honestly...wtf dude.
I'm from India (shillong) 😊😊😊
Why not leave the existing insulated roof/walls/ceiling and the bigger and more numerous windows that are already installed?
The bus would be very poorly insulated if we did that. We took all that out and put in spray foam and RV windows so the bus stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This is going to be our home so we need it to be comfortable.
@@maddyandzach Gotcha. Makes sense.
nobody talks about making these quiet.
Why didn’t you go over the rubber floor?
Where do I go to place my order in for the next bus? 😁
No heat insulation?
The bus says limestone county are you guys close to Mexia? If so that makes this even more awesome!
Sadly no, we got it in Alabama.
@@maddyandzach still love your content either way. I am definitely tuned in and will always remain a subscriber 😊
Sure thank you
👍👍
I’m thinking why what’s the MPG on that thing
Interesting build, but a question...
With all the wood in the ceiling, doesn't that make this thing incredibly top heavy? I drive the full size version of these things for my local school district, and just having a bunch of luggage in the students' seats with them makes my bus roll in the corners terribly.
