- Hey guys! We’re Jimmy & Natalie, and we’re really excited to share our journey with you as we work on converting our new short bus into our very own tiny home on wheels!
Our bus is a 1997 Thomas International Short Bus. We have some big plans for completing the build, and for traveling in it as soon as it’s ready.
We hope you stick around for our weekly videos!

RV Ladder: amzn.to/3dZXTrW
I'm enjoying binge watching you guys! I love the shower idea with roll away cubby for toliet. Great idea!
Great job. You two are so positive and fun to watch. I think that I will cancel Netflix and just watch your channel. I real like that there is no drama. You two are so great together. You remind me of my wife and I 40 years ago. Natalie’s voice is so calming. Thank You for sharing your adventures
Toilet that slides out into the shower from under the bed is absolutely ingenious. Can't wait to see how it will work.
Thanks! We’re excited to make it work and it should save some room if we can 😄
Wow WOw WOW Skoolie taking shape! Great Team Work!
Yeah, the frame is really giving it a lot of character. The best part of the adventure is that you"re both doing it as a team. The strength and weaknesses you each have, compliment the team concept. It's great how well you both work together. It's truly a labor of love!!
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Every day is a new adventure when working with your S.O. 😊
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff guys
It’s a flushing success
I’ll be here all week lol
I love to watch you two work together.
Glad I found your channel, you guys are fun to watch. Your giving me energy to get back to my bus build. Be safe.
Awesome! Thank you! ❤️ And good luck with your build! 😄
Looking great guys 😊👌
Thanks! 😁
Cant wait to see it done.
Thanks! We can’t either 😅
I just rewound 3 times when you were describing your couch -- it really looks like you guys are sitting on something!
Haha consider it a sneak peak of what it might be like once the build is done!
I liked the 2 tone
You guys are so cute
Love the silver looking ladder. I was going to go with a black ladder, but after seeing your silver colored one on your style bus (same as mine) it looks really good. My flashers were deleted already so that shouldn't be a problem on my build but I'm pretty heavy guy and will likely need to use my own pipes and weld one together. The creaking I heard wouldn't work for me. Definitely going silver though after seeing yours. I'll probably move my plate to the other side because they are switchable, and use the ladder on the left. I want to be able to hop out my back exit door from my bed and climb up without touching the ground below.
Also nice job on the shower toilet concept, I may have to do something similar with the sliding toilet.
good luck kids tom
Thanks so much Tom!! 😄
So I just recently discovered your channel.. I am very impressed with the work you both have done so far.. very cool. I enjoy your channel a lot and I enjoy watching the bus go from just a bus to your home🤗 Thank you for sharing your lives and home with me. Take care and Hod bless

After living in a cargo van and a Nissan cube, I agree it's important to have a toilet and shower. I love watching your build!!
Totally agree! They are definitely a necessity for us. And thanks! 😊
Great work, I like your roof deck. 👍
For my Skoolie that is impossible, as I‘m living in Germany and I did not. receive approval from local authorities.
Best wishes from Germany

Oh wow sorry to hear that.. I didn’t even think that there might be regulations on it in some countries. Best of luck to your build! ❤️
@@JimmyandNatalie Thank you, same for you
I already have finalized :-) as you can see on my TH-cam channel
The bus is really taking shape! Love the completely stained deck, and that you enjoyed breakfast up there. The framing looks great! I look forward to seeing walls and everything else you have planned!
Also loved that Jimmy didn't need the ladder instructions, but Natalie read them anyway.
Haha someone’s gotta be responsible here...
I’m always so sad when your videos end I just want to see more!🥺
Aww thank you 😊 We’ll keep em coming then!
It looks absolutely awesome with the walls in there -- I'm really excited to see more framing!
Thanks! We're excited too!
I agree with your thinking regarding the bathroom, neither one of you are big and so a small space is all you really need, after all, you are building for yourselves. I know that I am a nosy old woman (75 + years) but could you provide some of your background information, if not that is fine too. Thank you for another great post.
Thanks! Yes the shower is perfect for us!😄
And yes! We’ve been getting a few questions about our backgrounds from others as well, so we are planning to do a Q&A video very soon! In that video we’ll be talking about what led us to this point as well as answering some questions from you guys! 😄
I’m so impressed! This is looking fabulous! Y’all are such a good team.
❤️Mary Katherine
Thank you so much! We’re having a lot of fun with this! 😄
Now that you have the ladder built to match your needs, take it to a welding shop, they can use it as a template to build a much better unit. If you get down to Florida I can make you one in a day or two. But still looks good. David and Tammy from Florida.
Thanks! We’ll have to consider that if it gives us trouble. So far, so good 🤞
Dang, ya'll got hi from putting up a roof deck?? I'm halfway done wif mine but you can finish if ya want! :)
You guys are awesome, keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! ❤️
What’s the name of your bus? Keep the videos coming. They are giving me inspiration.
We haven’t picked out a name quite yet. We’re waiting for the right inspiration to hit us 😄
Just looking at your lay out. Are you able to place a fold up bed over the driver's cab are. When folded down, will be level with the windscreen. When up into the roof.
That's just my silly thoughts. But you are doing a great job. "Compact space". Happy travels. Regards
I definitely prefer the “ladder” - DEAD! 🤣🤣
Haha I’m glad someone else appreciates Jimmy’s sense of humor 😆
@@JimmyandNatalie Please tell me that was Jimmy replying, talking third person.
😀😀😀😀😀😀
Are there any tricks or tips to getting the framing and cabinets level and square?
All we really had was a metal square to help align the vertical beams. One thing I did do was I would measure the distance between the wall to the support and then try to duplicate that on the other side of the door frame. At least that way, if one of them is slightly crooked, they both would be 🤷♂️
You two are too cute.
You two are too cute
Thanks! 💚 This was a fun week ❤️
Random question, what type pocket jig are you using? Seems sturdier than the plastic one.
It's a Kreg brand pocket jig that's been handed down on Jimmy's side. I would send you an Amazon link, but all I see are plastic ones. We really love ours though, it works great!
