This is the complete school bus (skoolie) to tiny house conversion timelapse showing our transformation of a rare 1987 Gillig Phantom school bus only made on the West Coast from 1986 to 1992 and most have been crushed/scrapped. We bought it in November of 2017. We had no idea what we were doing but we figured it out and pushed through and finished it in late 2019. Building this Skoolie and documenting it on TH-cam has lead us to leave our jobs and pursue an alternative American Dream, for better or worse!! Thanks for watching and thanks for your support.
If you're wondering about our dear friend Andrew you can read about him here: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with.... RIP Andrew Lee 05/26/2019. I never would have made it home with our bus without the help of Andrew, and it was one of many gifts he gave me in life and death. Miss you buddy.

Glad you’re back!
It came up on my TH-cam feed I love the tiny house ideas..
this man is one of those people who would survive the apocalypse
Haha! What a compliment. Thanks.
This is so true. This was so cool to watch.
And it's the fact that he did everything no help
the? 😳
The vax mark of the beast apocalypse
I liked how the whole family git involved in the project even baby carrying the wood 😂👍
Hello Jeanna how are you doing!!
On god 😂😂
Me too 😂
@@larrybill2661 hi
🤍
I can imagine the little girl, but grown up telling her friends on school:
*"Once my dad turned a school bus into a tiny house!"*
You mean a LITTLE little *little* BIG HOUSE
Haha
that’s a girl?
these idiots "bought schoolbus and made a motorhome" are the stupidiest people on earth... school buses besides very old are usually gas engine while urban city buses are diesel engines if you want to be one more "i awesome living on the road" try to at least be smarter... at least at begining
@@rafaellima381 opinions to yourself
I don’t understand why there’s so many dislikes to this video. The footage was awesome, the work is amazing, and the family is clearly close and are no strangers to hard work. God bless you guys. Awesome skills. I’m still mind blown here. 💖
Haha thanks! We're glad you were inspired by the video! It was hard work but worth it.
Crappy music!
The cutest part has got to be seeing the little one grow up awwwwwww
Uk I thought it was so cute when he installed the refrigerator.
Righhttt
Namjoon is your bias????
He is my bias tooooo☺️☺️
@@archanadeshmukh8050 i dont have a bias! 🤣 he just looks really good in this pic hahahah
P,weipmz
"30 years later" I got very concerned suddenly, and then very confused about the quality of the previous footage lol. Gorgeous project, must be so fulfilling :D
Lol same here
Lol me too. I was like 🤔 lol but it was a cute joke.
Look at the girl😂 (young)
After building homes for 15 years and seeing the level skill you have all i can say is "WOW!!!" Awesome job.
Thanks Jason!

I was tensed when he said 30 years and then seeing old man working just gave me a shock for a while.🤦🏻
People are so negative!🤦🏻♀️
I think you guys did an amazing job together as a beautiful family and both you and your wife have an awesome bond and beautiful children. You’re home was created with love by the hands that built it. The camera work was exceptional and you sir are a wonderful hard working husband ( your wife too😊). May God bless you and your family ❤️.
Hi Mary
Hello Mary how are you doing!!
@Jaylen Hunt yeah we know we watched the video
@Jaylen Hunt I trailer is not tailored to someone's liking also trailers can't drive or go anywhere on their own it is special
Stop being so negative.
Pray the Most High blesses me with a husband with hard working hands in these last days. This is great!
It's the beginning days. Keep ya head up..
@@sunsetamor302 Not according to the word of my father and I keep my head in prayer 😊 thanks
In Jesus Name, may you have one. Amen
@@mixmickeymouzze The end sounds very hopeful I guess, we all believe in different things. I look to my the word of the mother. Each your zone. Bless
@@mixmickeymouzze whats the point of getting a husband if it's the end anyways, get together to die?
“Anybody” cannot do this. Look at this mans skills!
You can do anything you set your mind to.
These days skills are very easy to learn. People just think you have to hire someone to fix everything. I’ve never went to school learn how to fix cars but I recently over a one week span fixed my while braking system, rotors, calipers, pads and hoses on my car and also fixed my ax compressor simply by watching TH-cam videos. Even took the car to get a diagnostic and everything was fine and dandy. I saved a potential $3.5K I was going to have to pay the mechanics to do it.
Lmao. Anyone can do this. This man took 2 years on a 2 weeks max project.
@@rudeboy1431 stop being so negative
The possibilities are endless when a man has an amazing woman by his side.
Wow, I smiled the entire video. The execution was so impressive. The team work and patience, was superb. Seeing the little one grow, was awesome, beautiful girl. Lastly, the Gump quote took me out and loved the music!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! God bless you all’s journey💗
So happy we got to make you smile with this video. Thanks for sharing that with us and some of the things that you liked about it. Forest Gump is my favorite movie! Take care. -Justin
Yes little helper was talking at end of video ,now that's time lapse.
I smiled too...
Such a lovely family, love how there all working together even the baby is helping 😊
🔥🔥
I would've loved a walkthrough after the finished project. Still super cool and amazing 😍🤩🥰
I gotchu th-cam.com/video/R2JNyuUJVaU/w-d-xo.html

Wooaaa!!!! Living on the school bus is my daydream. And now, it's real!!! With more comfort.
Forwarding this to my sister and brother-in-law...they are both elementary school teachers and soon to retire. They have talked about doing this too...hopefully some inspiration for them. I think it's a GREAT idea.
You sister married a co worker?

Hi Adriana

And an electrician, and a plumber, and a carpenter, and a design engineer, and sews, in short, the brain, well done man, everything is neat, perfect, you're just handsome 👍👍👍👍👍.God bless your family
This is so handy ....he know it all from construction to plumbing to electrical work.....he is every guy ...skill set dream
ABSOLUTELY LOVE OFF THE GRID LIVING, MAY JESUS CHRIST CONTINUE TO PROTECT YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE 🙏❤
❤️🙏
Oh, and that baby girl dancing to the music melted my heart.😍😍😍😍😍
Helpful wife and children will couraged him to reach his tiny house dream..
Bless you all..😊😚 ..
My husband and I are now getting close to our 70s after spending a lifetime in construction for our employment, and camping for our enjoyment, we have had a lot of different recreation vehicles including boats and an aeroplane, we have done work on most of them (we are now camping in an older model Ford trail light motorhome . Watching this video is amazing and I can’t wait for my husband to come in from outside shovelling snow to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and watch your amazing work unfold, awesome job with the video.
Hi Carolyn. It sounds like you've both had an exciting life with much more camping to come! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed my video and the work that we did. It was quite a process! - Justin
Oh my god, this is the most amazing video I've ever seen. I just can't believe it that you turned a old bus into a livable house on wheels. Your little daughter is so cute, I love it how she helps you carry the wood and dancing to the music.
She's so adorable!! ❤️👏👏👏
🔥🔥
Well thought out plan. It is amazing that you all did everything by yourself without outside help. Great job!

This man, engineer, plumber, mechanic, designer, carpenter, electrician, driver, dad, husband, accountant, video maker, youtuber.. salute 👍👍👍👍👍
does anybody watch these type of shows and feel so accomplished after there done like you did it? am i the only one ;-;
😂 😂
The story and growth was phenomenal, loved the music. Shed a few tears.
The music tracks on the video is fire! This video is the vibe, my goodness 🧡

😍This is my dream when all my kids are grown and moved out. I could watch this all day just beautiful.💕God bless your family.
Awesome! Beautifully made. Great Dedication! May God bless you and your family!!🙏🤗💪This show that we don't have to buy a 150 Thousand Dollars house and most of the time they are used and not even in condition to live in. Plus the blessings of having a bus is that you don't have to pay Mortgage , house Ins, or Rent. Thank God for this bright men and women now they can explore the World with their beautiful children. 💯♥️
That was Awesome..😎✌
Love from India 🇮🇳❤
Hands down the best one I've seen n prayers up for u guys on the loss of your friend 🙏
Much respect. I watched this and realised...I can't do anything. 💖 how it all turned and lovely family.
The kid growing up was amazing
May God bless you beautiful work and so sorry to hear about your friend and he rest in peace I don't understand why the thumbs down are up for but it's sad that people do that it's so so sad when people always have negative things to say when they don't even know what's really behind anybody's heart God bless you and your family always
Amen God continue blessing you all
What happened to him . I’ve not seen that
@@scanipoos read description
The amount of work put into this wonderful, so comprehensive and professional.
Hello Christina how are you doing!!
I think this is the 1st time a YT video brought me to tears
Wow that's quite an honor I guess. Hope they were happy tears!
imagine what a vibe that bus would be if the LEDS changed colour 😳
props to the man, he did 90% of this alone and still made time for his family
Thanks for sharing. It was beautiful to see your daughter grow. Mine is now 42. Hope you have a wonderful life.
You gave total insight on quality, time line,Hard work,Cost,and a beautiful family.
Many Blessings
unbelievable !!! I had the obsession for projects like this when I was 28. After that your can not get enough energy to complete such a massive project. This is truly a work of art,
While I was building I was thinking about how much physical energy it took and I felt grateful that I was tackling it in my early 30's. But now that I've done it I think I've got a couple more builds in me before I tire out. Thanks for the compliment!

This is what got me into living in a bus. I dont have a drivers lisence-
Thank you - I’m a single mom … you guys keep me inspired. I already built a tiny house but a bus is my next project when I finish nursing school. ❤
That Smile of baby... So cute 😍
Oh my goodness the devotion and motivation all of you put in astounds me! Enjoy the fruits for your labour, you all surely earned it! The end result is positively lovely and I’m so happy that you all had managed to complete your project! The school bus looks more like an RV now; maybe even better! Amazing!
It's all fun and games untill the bus rolls and breaks while the family is out, they see their work being destroyed, so sad
got me with the 30 years on....great job! All the best and have safe travels, from one traveler to another. Been almost around Australia in a Caravan with Mum & Dad didn't quite get to Tasmania then but i have been just lately, was going to Darwin to complete my trip around this month but borders were closed ...a real bummer
The music is Everything. It made watching you build your beautiful home more enjoyable.😊
This guys a genius. He really can just build his own house. I love it. And all family was envoled
Thanks Tammy!
Great job you guys. Your children have already learned what love, dedication and hard work will become. Anything you want.

Thanks for sharing the journey. 💗✨
30 YEARS Later YOUR STILL WORKING ON THE BUSS!!!!!!!!😱😱😱 I feel bad
That is just an amazing and empress amount of work to finish the project call home on tour.. kids and I loved it.. have a wonderful and safe travels... make me missed our RV... we will get a van camper soon hopefully...
“If you can believe it, you can achieve it.”
My dad is an engineer and one of her costumer request him to build an rv made of wood. He only required an engine and other components to make the vehicle move and he took almost a year to build it. We earned a lot of cash because of that costumer.
I love my dad he always does incredible things just to make me and my siblings get a healthy life. He works twice as hard after my mom died of cancer ❤️
That sounds really cool. An RV made of wood.
@@MobileDwellings Yes I am proud to spread the achievements my dad made
Imagine if every school bus was like that 🤩
We want to go to school everyday 😂😂😭
You have a wonderful family and great work on the bus! Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy watching you built this bus I enjoyed you taking us along with your family I enjoy them participating it’s very relaxing and the music is upbeat I love it fantastic video
VERY NICE JOB. We just sold my 40ft Monaco bus with 2 s-out. This is a great job.
The best part of this video is how the family worked together! Bus looks great.

Excellent build, looks like it was well planned and executed, GREAT JOB!
Transformation is amazing, and so is the playlist 🔥🔥
Time lapse much better than watching paint dry. Outstanding accomplishment.😎
Omg. 30 years later the dad became so old but still have the energy to continue building-
Love this…entrancing to watch your creating while listening to the ethereal ‘love’ music.
I was smiling for 18 mins 🥺😂
love to hear that. thanks for sharing.
Same quality content
Not a cheap project but a beautiful one indeed the baby growing up it’s too cute..
Everyone dream living on road. Love to watch your journey across our great America
How is it feel living at the bus? Maybe I think it feel so comfortable and unique, it's different even though it's small the important is you have a shelter it's better unlike homeless. Good job ❤️👏👏👏
unlike homeless? what does that mean please?
@@jimcrawford5039 "homeless" it means is lacking stable and appropriate housing. People can be categorized as homeless if they are: living on the streets; moving between temporary shelters, including houses of friends, family and emergency accommodation; living in private boarding houses without a private bathroom or security of tenure.
@@rantelozanojr.4492 No, He thinks it's kinda rude the way you said "unlike homeless"
Tanga ka ba? Pinagsasabi mo?
@@sanayeonnie1688 how do you know, you really shouldn’t speak for others 😊
I'm not impressed with the" rarity" of the school bus ,but I am impressed with the conversion of the bus!!!
Bob knows his stuff.
Дочке-лапочке повезло с такими дружными и умелыми родителями!!! Удачи и благополучия вашей семье!!!
Pure admiration of your dream implemented in endurance, perseverance and outcome. Love the life you're given bc even though you earned every moment not all are as able. Savor the beauty and experiences of the investment again not all have the freedom of being free. Love is certainly in your corner.
Какие прекрасные ребята!!! Удачи им во всем!!!
This was the first skoolie build I watched and I've been enthralled ever since, lovely family, I know there have been additions since! Congratulations. That craftmanship.
The baby and the dog are the supervisors.
🥰
You guys are awesome! This is so inspiring 💛💛💛
☠️
one of the most wholesome video I've ever watched.. 🥺 ❤️
I can’t stop watching this video. I especially love the hammocks in the beginning.
Rest in peace Andrew, hope you're happy with the result, super cool! Good job guys and God is good.
This looks amazing. My only question is where does the waste go from the bathroom. It can't just drain to the ground, right?
Presumably they did it like an RV with a black and grey water tanks for the shower as for the toilet it seems to be a compost toilet
@@MiguelAngel-kz5ku if it's a compost toilet then it should be self contained and just emptied and cleaned when needed so no need for tanks for that
Yes
Eres un genio que lo disfruten que Dios los .bendigan hermosa familia.
This man did a kickflip in a school bus. Dedication😬
Just seeing this today.. great video. Will be watching your cost breakdown video next.
Just want to say, it's a great video. In 18min there was enough visual info to help a guy like me feel like I can do it.. tons of work no doubt.. so what if it takes a few years! Great project.
Hope you are all well!
Cheers from Alberta, Canada
I was thinking about doing this just this morning and I’m excited to know that someone has actually done it already. It’s possible! It’s doable! I wish I can too.
This is really amazing.
I would do this if I could.
But I don’t really go out places that much….but of I didn’t would be an good project to do.
What a journey and project! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us!
Looks great most people don't have carpenter skills or the desire to finish a job this big but when your with a person that has drive it makes it real
Can't quit. Just gotta keep going.
Parabéns muito bonito o seu projeto 👏🙏 deus abençoe sempre vc e sua família 🙏
I Love The Way They Make The Bus Into A House
Wow... You all made with great love and precious memories. ❣️
