I rebuilt a cute little camper a few years ago and this sure brought back wonderful memories. It was a tint little thing, but the more I did to it, the more I wanted to do. Put full sized fridge and took out ice box. Made all my own curtains and seat n bed coverings, added large roof air conditioner, wood trim, laminated floor, 2 awnings, etc. I still can't believe I sold it.
I built my first drawer to my kitchen Sunday... It took me 3 hours and 29 recuts but it now works... Thanks Mike, you gave me " _I think I can I think I can I think I can_ " motivation 😃
Your bus wins....end of story....your journey has been so well documented...so much fun to witness...Kerry ...the mosaic shower ...reminds me of art from Herculaum...Mike you ...rule!!! I am 6'6. My name is Fred....or Eldemurkrimm...i don't wanna raise my roof ....they look ugly....i could use some advice someday soon.....you have both helped me through a cold Maine winter...thank you!
Last fall, the IKEA as-is section had a huge stack of those countertops on sale for $89 apiece. Naturally we were broke AF... because two would have been perfect for our purposes. But man... what a missed opportunity. And seeing how gorgeous they look on your cabinets makes me green with envy. :::merh:::
Just so you know …I spent Christmas day binge watching you guys...Really like to know as you were building the measurements for the drawers slides and just how you came up with the sizing but all good you have so many freaking good tools I guess you were doing carpentry for a long time I’m a bit jealous just started carpentry a few years back having a rebuild all my tools from scratch but without a homebase I sure don’t have those big table size and drill press of planners...
LOL I'm doing my build at my sister's house and I have Stuff Squirreled away EVERYWHERE .. I bought things on sale or when they were a very important and I didn't want to take a chance of them not being available when I needed them Ahhh the life of a builder/fabricator . :-):-):-) Great video as always
Nice cabinet work Mike & Kerry! Build is coming along nicely. I may have missed it or you are going to do it later but I did not see you hook the stove/oven up to anything. As always a great video, you two are having way to much fun, keep them coming.
Hey you 2 bus builders, great work all together.. The first builders I see, that realy make tow/kick space under the kitshen drawers.! But I have one question.? why did'nt you cover the under part of the windows behind the counter top. now you look at the back of the kitshen from the outside, you cant clean that smal aerea..and you dont have a backsplash.?
A lot of good will come out of Hannah’s Story, and Kyra’s as well. As it is, a three year old boys life was saved two weeks after Hannah’s death. He was very ill and doctors didn’t know why. It was my niece who told the mom to get a blood test. It was sepsis and the little man made through. I received personal message via FB from that mom, we spoke on the phone. It was then that we decided on “doing something”. The autopsy was inconclusive on where the infection started. Oh, AND we just arrived to Arizona RV Salvage. All kinds of goodies here!! 🤣.
Hi y'all, We are planning to build and was wondering how long your kitchen countertops are and if you think it is enough space? Love watching you interact. Great rapport with each other.
Trying to buy a 1970 silver eagle herein California. It was a band tour bus . She’s an old girl but timeless .and partially converted . But for $5000.00 do u think it’s worth it?
Omg! If you routed out a deep chamfer onto all 3 washes of your countertop would take it to the next level!!! I hope you don’t stain that gorgeous wood!!!
Looking good you guys plywood is the best way to go super strong great for going down the road Mike you do nice work buddy I bet your garbage drawer will hold a 100 lbs of trash no one can beat that. Lol best to over build than build at all is whati say.
@@BussyMcBusface This is very encouraging. I still have demo work to do on my bus, and am thinking about the A/C install soon. If I can get even a few more hours a day to work on it, it will be worth it. Thanks!
The real star of your bus is going to be that door. That is the best looking door on any bus. I am sure others will copy that. Is there any way you could add more window space over top of the cabinets? That space where the wires go. They build these buses for children's height an as adults, we can't see out of them without bending over. On some of these busses, there is this window between the flashing lights where the word School Bus is located. That window would be a perfect fit for adding more visibility.
How much did it cost to build your cabinets yourself? I'm trying to decide if i should diy my cabinets or buy them prefab from ikea. I figure it'll save me time and cost less in the long run, since I'll make fewer mistakes. I'm not super skilled with wood yet.
Honestly, we don't have an exact cost on this but I will tell you that the plywood that we used was $56 a sheet. so if you do a little math on how much wood you're going to need you will see how quickly it can add up. However, we have custom cabinets that fit exactly to the space that we wanted versus a prefab where we would have been stuck with whatever we could find.
@@BussyMcBusface I felt sorry for you when that happened, and always on something that will be visible. Kerry won't be pissed for long, she knows she got a goodun ;-)
Thank you! Ironically, my trade was a funeral arranger. I did go back to work, but found it to be more than I could handle. Hannah was misdiagnosed the day before she died. She had all the symptoms.. low grade fever, BP 85/55, HR 116 and left shoulder joint pain. I don’t have BP issues so I didn’t realize an issue and trusted the staff was doing their job. The next morning I rushed her back to the ER, within an hour a team from Loma Linda Children’s arrived to medi-fly her out of the mountain. It was within two hours when she coded, coded again 10 minutes later. That was when we rushed into her room to see the horrific sight of CPR. In addition, our 11 year old granddaughter was holding Hannah’s foot begging for Hannah “not to do this”. Had we realized that Hannah wasn’t going to make it, we would have never had Kyra at the hospital. Unfortunately, Kyra has suffered a great deal and has struggles related to this. Kyra has been 5150 twice, a run Away and more. She’s starting to get better. This is yet another purpose for the foundation and bus. The funds raised will go towards the survivors of SEPSIS, ie: financial assistance for intensive counseling that insurance doesn’t cover, funeral cost and so on. We all are so much stronger now after this life event
PS: On a brighter note, I’m sure that Hannah is the loudest and clumsiest Angel, you know.... tripping over the clouds and so on. My guess is that the Good Lord is wanting to send her back by now😇
Hey Mike and Kerry! We love your channel and been following you faithfully. We are new owners of a 40’ Skoolie, her name is 4ever13 in honor of our daughter, Hannah whom we lost to SEPSIS a couple years ago. We thought she had the flu. Our plan for the bus’ is to use it for the SEPSIS Awareness Foundation Hannah’s Story we hope to start once we figure out how. We live near Lake Arrowhead, CA and heading to Phoenix (as I’m writing this note) to visit my brother and would love to meet you both if possible. We realize our request is a long shot, but it’s worth a try.
We are about 3 hours south of Phoenix. I work literally most of the next 5 days (36hr and then a 24hr right into a 9 hour shift doing vaccinations for the county and then into another 24 then next morning) so, if it is the 26th you are interested in visiting, we would love to have you over.😊
Bummer! And understand those shifts as our son is a paramedic up on the mountain. We’re heading back on Sunday. So, let’s shoot for a later date. I’ll look for you on FB so we can message privately. PS: we’re just as crazy as the two of you so we’ll have a good time once we meet!! 🤪
Hi what was the kind of plywood you used? The measurements in inches? Was it one inche? Thre quarter? I am doing the same typle of project right now and would appreciate your help Im putting together a lumber list. Thank you.
Gosh and geewillikers pilgrims .. that looks better than a bought one .. not sure aboot them draw screws .. look a bit suss ..not from texas .. anywhos jolly good carryon pip pips..😁

Mike, I’ll be honest: I really envy your power tools! Your work is great and everything looks so professional and perfect.
Honestly, my favorite thing so far is that door. It caught my attention and I love seeing it.

I do like me some Ray Wylie Hubbard. I have been binge watching your bus build. You got skills.
You are the first person who knew what song that was!
@@BussyMcBusface I am from Texas. LOL.
I just got to this video and was seeing how many knew that song. I love it almost as much as Snake Farm, cause it just sounds nasty.
Super Hippy!!! Great build you guys. I'm really enjoying your vids. :-)
Oh my gosh guys, your kitchen looks soooo awesome. Your whole house is coming along beautifully. Thank you so much for your video.
Looking great guys...superb job MIKE... like to see your designs in my bus.. that door is beautiful, and those counters and cabinets are A plus...

Wow..... is there anything you can't do..?? Everything looks Amazing...!!
Post grad at TH-cam University! I watch an unhealthy amount of TH-cam before I build something.😁
Infantry! Hooah!... 11B lead the way 😎🍻Looking good you 2! Love the videos
Hey you 2 bus builders, great work all together.. The first builders I see, that realy make tow/kick space under the kitshen drawers.!

Stay runed... the backsplash is coming.
I would use clear silicone around the edges so water and food and crumbs dont get down the ceacks
We have been discussing that. Thank you.

Do you guys have a Playlist of all your music? I absolutely love it and would love to be able to listen to it
what is that Kreg Jig youre using to hold up the rail for the drawer? the wedge looking piece?
Looking good Mike. Are you guys planning on living in the bus or camping? My concern with living in ours is boredom - after the build.
Yes. We will immediately be moving in. As far as boredom, we have some plans for that but I dont want to give that away yet!😁
Hi y'all, We are planning to build and was wondering how long your kitchen countertops are and if you think it is enough space? Love watching you interact. Great rapport with each other.
Well guess you didn't very awesome job and greeting from Tempe Arizona
can't find your table top on ikea? discontinued?
Trying to buy a 1970 silver eagle herein California. It was a band tour bus . She’s an old girl but timeless .and partially converted . But for $5000.00 do u think it’s worth it?

Do you have a plan for your build or do you build as you go along. Looking good.
Plan with some wiggle room.😁
Looking good you guys plywood is the best way to go super strong great for going down the road Mike you do nice work buddy
I bet your garbage drawer will hold a 100 lbs of trash no one can beat that. Lol best to over build than build at all is whati say.
Excellent job!. Did you use the A/C when doing the kitchen project? If so, how well did it perform?
It worked really well. Since we haven't done the roof coating, I would expect to be even better then!
