A 2 year Timelapse of our entire build so far. This has been a crazy journey. We sold both of our houses in 2020 and haven’t looked back. We’ve spent the last 2 years converting this old 1993 Blue Bird school bus into a dream skoolie.
Life hasn’t been easy moving from 3400 square feet to 300 square feet but we love it so far.
The bus isn’t completely done. But I figured it was time to take a trip down memory lane and put together a Timelapse of the build so far. Thanks for sticking with us this whole time. It’s been a blast.

Mr. Dad your family is lucky to have you. Awesome job. My Dad passed away from cancer related complications on my 20th bday. But as a child watching him build things I thought he was a real super hero. Now at 34 I have even more of a respect & concept of how valuable this is for families 🥰
My father passed away to cancer as well when I was 22. I relate entirely to everything you said. Thank you!
@@lifeanywhere sorry for you loss it sucks. You have a beautiful family. Can’t wait for more videos. I plan on purchasing a RV soon to carry out my Dad’s last wish if he had made it out of the hospital. Safe travels 🥰
God spead

Retired school administrator and bus driver here. You made an excellent choice with the flat fronted blue bird. Excellent visibility, better ride than traditional bus and the CUMMINS.!!
This was truly magical to watch. The best I’ve seen yet. If every American showed such dedication and creativity there would not be time for unrest and political malarkey. You truly live with unconditional love without knowing any of you it just comes through. My kind of Americans I would be proud to have as friends and neighbors. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Sebastian! I’m really glad you enjoyed it.
When I was a little girl we lived in Harlan county in Kentucky and we lived in 2 busses we used one for a kitten and living room and the other for a bathroom and bedrooms we were very poor but we were happy it was me and my brother and my mom and dad we lived like that for years! It just shows you you can make it through anything if you just put in the effort it will pay off thank you for this video and the wonderful memories it has awakened God bless you all and keep you safe and meet your every need Peggy Lynn Smith from Corbin Kentucky

You have created something quite special and beautiful for your family. I hope you have amazing adventures while traveling in this beautiful RV you have lovingly created with your family. This is the type of project that my Dad would have loved doing especially since we went on month long camping trips as we explored the various mountain ranges, visited family and friends and had fun as a family. We used a tent trailer with a zip on extension and stackable camping cots for us kids to sleep on. Once the 3 eldest were no longer living at home Dad up graded to a popup trailer that slept 8 and had a built in stove, fridge, heater, sink and a water tank. Because we camped in bear country we didn’t cook or eat anything in the trailer which was fine since we had a pretty good setup for cooking outside and had multiple canopies to protect us from any bad weather. Dad even had heavy plastic sheeting that could be attached to the canopies creating walls that came in handy on a few rainy trips.
I grew up watching my dad fix every and anything I remember being around ten and being outside with him all day he made me and my sister the biggest tree house I ever played in🥰 watching this made me think of my pops🥰 shout out to all the handy cool dad's...omg that kitchen backsplash was givinnnnnnnnnnnnn lol..good job you guys
I see what you did there! After watching I was so relaxed from the music it was on repeat💵 Hard work pays off. Live the dream…enjoy the moments.
Thanks bud! Hope you’re well!
Thank you for sharing your build and I look forward to seeing many more of you and your family in the future.
Amazing. What a wonderful job you are doing. I watched the individual videos, but to see the recap was captivating- your attention to detail and very careful planning and measuring to ensure everything fit is awesome. Can’t wait to see more and continue to follow you on your journey. Thank you for sharing this adventure:
This work can’t do the only family members at all
I absolutely LOVE seein’ people live their life’s dream out. Not only do they get to live their life’s dream, but it also came with incredibly hard work that they can look back upon with the utmost smile. YOU DID IT! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!!!
This is amazing work, design and good ideas. You’re going to have a lot of great memories in this camping/house. Thank you for show us you’re “great amazing project”.
Thanks for watching!!!
I was strangely moved watching this. What a work of love and absolute masterpiece.
Wow, really impressed. That's truly a motivation and what I'm really happy to see is the efforts from everyone of your family. HATS OFF!
At first I was like why....but that moer I watched I was impressed by both your choices and the hard work you put into it. Amazing job, and while I am generally not a fan of "skoolies" I have to say this is really well done, one of the best conversions I have ever seen
All I can say is you are an incredible person! My Dad built a home in the Berkshires in the late 60’s. We would stay in one room all weekend, while he was working in the rooms. Yes, putting up those ceilings looks familiar. We have a well. All the neighborhood kids helped us. My father lost both his parents at the age of 11. I am the proud daughter of an incredible man. And know I have met another one. Peace to you and your fantaboulous family! ❤️
It’s crazy how the last time I rode on a school bus, was 30 years ago. Some of my classmates & I went to & from our high school graduation Grad Nite in a night club. It was great to ride n a school bus back at our then Alma Mater for the last time as a class. Great for you guys for turning this old school bus into a home.
What a fantastic job ....hope your family really appreciate the hard work you guys put into this build ....ENJOY IT
Thank you!

Thank you so so much!!!!!
i’m only 17, but y’all have definitely inspired me to go ahead and go for my dream and convert a bus. i’ve been watching the journey since the beginning and can’t wait to live out the bus life with my siblings. 🙏🏽
That’s awesome Aubrie! Good luck to you!
Your very smart at age 17… im at 27 and i feel im already late.. go ahead with your bus build, travel and live free! Cheers
Bus is too big, loads of money and time building, running it go for micro small van first,
@@georgecarlinn6288 you can buy very small buses
Wow cool
Good job. Dads are the real superheroes.
Husband,father,builder,plumber,master craftsman and dream enabler.Wow!
The journey may have been crazy, but the result is stunning! That is a mobile home. TKS

This video touched my heart and my tears fell without realizing it. It is very beautiful. I liked the warmth in your family and the cooperation between you. . . Well done 🥰
me the entire time thinking, "aesthetic, oh aesthetic, why so aesthetic, AESTHETIC!"
In a good way?
Thank you for this video. It was a genuine delight to watch. I respect and admire the build… especially the quality and the finishing touches using wood. Excellent. 5 out of 5 stars.

There's nothing worse than a know-it-all ! GREAT Job.
🤣🤣🤣 thank you!
You are one very very talented young man. Thank you for sharing your journey. 👍👍
It's nice to see a bus conversion done the proper way . I just watched a video where this guy just put insulation and plywood over the windows . He is going to hate his life when one of those windows leak and he has to tear down half of the interior to fix the water damage .
Great work and skill. May God BLESS you and your family
This is an amazing transformation. Congrats.!
It's s impressive how you can turn a school bus into this wonderful construction, I appreciate your work
2 years of conversation of school bus in 21mints you guys put lot of effort to conversation of the bus respect from my ❤
Thanks!!!
Love watching your program and all you and your family are doing with your new ride!!! Keep it going…. Blessings
Thank you so much!!!
Great craftsmanship and execution Mr! And a lovely edit to boot! We, like so many others, are building up an old coach bus, recycling as many different materials as we can get our hands on! Keep up the good work! See you down the road!🛠
This bus turned out just beautifully. Awesome job.

You and your old lady killed it, dude. Strong couple, you rock. Awesome product. Don't look back.
I’m just worn out watching! I can’t imagine the planning that went in to this rebuild! What amazing adventures and memories you will share! Great job!
It was a challenge. Thank you so much!!!
I love this! A walk through tour of the whole bus now that it is mostly done would be great!!! 🙂
It’s coming! Thank you!
Wow. Amazing job to you and your wife. It really is so cool. Congratulations
Absolutely, WOWWWW! You are one hard worker. I love the color of the exterior of the bus. My favorite thing inside is the tile on the sink wall in the kitchen!
Such expertise! Phenomenal! What a joy to watch!
Thanks Edna!!!
Very nicely done! A labor of love
I really enjoyed watching that. Thank you for sharing.
I grew up on a ranch in South Dakota and have always been impressed with folks that can do for themselves. I am amazed at your skills sir, and glad we still have some MEN out there that can do this and your wife that is right there with you helping. That was how I was raised, working outside along with the men and then coming inside and doing house duties. Love hard workers, hope you love traveling and living in this amazing bus.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this, The amount of work and time is fantastic. I wish I had the skills to do something like this.
Thanks William!

You guys did a awesome job. Ever think about adding more cargo room under the skoolie?
Looks amazing and a lot of work! I would love to see the bathroom. If you could do another video and walk us through it I would love to see it
Great idea!

Y’all had me in happy tears and inspired me so much. Thanks so much❤️🥰
Don't forget to take us along for some great adventures, life, anywhere is everywhere you're willing to take us, and we're excited about the possibilities and destinations.
Imgine going to your friends house, and this is where they live.
Edit: I’d like to clarify that this 4 month old comment is meant as a joke
Is best to live in a bus or a RV then paying two to three thousand dollars a month for something you don't own and plus you're not going to even use all of that house space
@@LEAVESOMEDAY true
And what's wrong with that?
@@jesamegbe1579 i never said it was wrong??
I don't think their friend need to come to their house,they could just bring their home to their friend
Wow. This the best thing I've watched on TH-cam in years.
Thank you so much!!!
Awesome skill and dedication. I am glad I watched this . Many thanks for sharing.
That was an amazing build - I was completely mesmerized throughout the entire video!! Thank you
for sharing. Just subscribed. -Hugs 🤗
Thank you so much!!!
@@lifeanywhere You're welcome!
I can relate to remembering our Dads as builders. My Dad built two enormous rock gardens in two locations as well as two recreation rooms in the basement .Tons of toys ,hand made for my brother and I as kids.These memories are priceless. You are a great Dad . Hope to see a follow up when you guys go" on the road again."
Nice 😀🙏🏼
Wow 😲 you are lucky
THiS IS ABSOLUTELY
MAGNIFICENT.
Absolutely love how you put beds but watch your fingers when putting the oven in I love the bus I want one
Really cool build, one thing I am curious about, is how much does that bus weigh now with all the woodwork you have done inside?
Fantastic build. RV companies have nothing on you sir! Quite the craftsman.
That means a lot! Thank you very much!
I thought I was a craftsman until I watched this. You've got more skills and knowledge in the pimple on your butt than I'll ever have. Great video ! Subbed
Thanks!!!
AMAZING EXTRAORDINARY HARDWORK AND EXQUISITE MASTERPIECE
This Video deserves a thousand likes for exhaustion and tiredness and family
Hahah! Thank you!
