Hazards of building a bus | skoolie vs shuttle bus | mold and spray foam|

// SHOP OUR COOKBOOK //

We have run into all sorts of obstacles while deconstructing two buses over the past two months... it's been a lot of hard work. At times, it's felt like more than we could handle. Our #1 tip when beginning a bus build/van build is to take it day by day. We do our best to stick to our master calendar, but we try not to think too far into next weeks projects. It's helped us manage our stress and really enjoy the moment and have fun in the midst of the business!

First of all, thank you so much for being on our page and reading these words right now. Chad & I talk about this all the time together, we're so incredibly grateful to each of you that chooses to watch our content and support us. Without you we would not still be making content on this platform, so thank you for all the love.

We are currently a family of four (Chad, Zaynah, and our 2 cats Tavi + Akina). We live in a bus home that we self-converted to be fully sustainable with off grid capabilities. This is not our first tiny house on wheels together, it's actually our third! We LOVE this lifestyle and the flexibility it gives us to see the world while living minimally, so we're in it for life. Although we're very content with life on the road in our skoolie, we do have a big dream of purchasing land and building a shipping container home with a huge garden. Our last tiny house was in the form of a van conversion in Hawaii, we have an entire series sharing that experience if you want to know more. The van life bus life movement has been exploding over the past few years and if you're interested in the lifestyle, we highly recommend it :) it's been hands down the best decision of our lives.

You guys are in good shape. Healthy, energetic, full of zeal.

Great to see the bus builds. However, I must confess to being rather confused. The clips seem to go forwards and back in time, and swap from one bus to another. Can you clarify what is happening please? Which is yours? Why are you doing a second bus?

[kathyc]

glad to see you guys bus is really looking good....great job

[reneebrown]

If that floor is that rusty i can just imagine what your frame looks like. WOW

[mikephillips]

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. It is so easy to get overwhelmed by a project like this, and you're essentially doing three of them at once. Kudos to you both. You guys have learned so much since that first bus. Your workmanship has improved by leaps and bounds and your willingness to do whatever it takes is admirable. I hope you have factored the cost of all the decay surprises into the bids on these projects! Great update.

Hi again! Been watchin your channel for a year or so and I gotta say I think this is a great idea building buses. The experience you'll gain doing that will broaden your horizons and your work looks very professional! Keep up the great job and thanks for sharing your lives!

[markwilson]

Good to see some new people building a bus

[emcrawf]

Yay! You're back! Please, more videos of the builds. Just finished a 9 week rebuild on a 1988 Skyline Jamee. So fun to see what you are up to with these.

We’re glad to see you guys back! We missed your videos so much more than you know. And the bus is coming along beautifully we can’t wait to see the outcome!

[michaelpeel]

Glad to see you two are happy and healthy. I thought y'all had abandoned YouTube altogether.
Still plugging away on my rig, not making the progress I would like but limited hands and limited funds are slowing me down.
Thanks for sharing

It was so good to see y'all here on YT. You're doing such good work; very impressive. And the drone footage was awesome (as usual).

[lovehomesteading]

Crazy to see just how far you are having to tear your bus down, but at least you will know exactly what is in there from the ground up!

[Chefsantatravels]

Good seeing you guys back on I watched your old vlog About your bus with the bad engine And I got the information that I needed But if you could add anything else let me know Stay safe stay strong stay healthy 👍☮🎅🤙🚍🚌

[cheddar]

Glad you guys are back, you guys look so great even though you guys are working hard. Nice built on that small bus well done! Can't wait to see more updates on all your buses. Nice system for your solar can't wait to see it too. Be safe guys.

[doug]

Wow! Y'all have been going non stop. The small shuttle came out awesome. Great job guys! 1 down 2 to go. Thanks for the updates. So much work still to go. Best part is the deconstruction is complete. Now the fun part begins. But with what you have learned from your other builds. I am sure you have a plan in place for Fairfax and your bus. Wishing you the best that it all works out as planned. Thanks for not forgetting the bloopers. 💖🙌😜💖👌
