“Start as soon as you have an idea, for you’ll not necessarily have more energy down the road. Just build on that momentum you have and don’t stop. Life gets busy and we’ll never be younger or have more energy most likely. So use the health and energy you have now and go for it.” - Well said!

So glad Caleb is getting more and more recognition for this project. I went to school with him while he was building it and it is such an inspirational project!

[Itchingbfree]

He said something that really spoke to me. He said, "people will really gather around and and support you when you are passionate about something. So don't underestimate the power you have to effect and inspire other people." I love it!!

Wow. This guy is talented. He could make these for a living for a lot of other college kids.

You have to acknowledge the man's talent. Not only is he an interior designer, but also he's a jack-of-all-trades, and he's on his way to being an architect. What's more, he plays the keyboard and the guitar. Incredible that he has so much in his repertoire.

[MrSlime]

wow, very talented. he definitely chose the right career for him

[geraldinegranado]

An architect that can build! His resume is going to be top of the crop. Blessings, may he be successful in his career.

School buses make excellent tiny home conversions since they're well constructed and maintained. You did a great job on this one.

[frankvolz]

It never ceases to amaze me at how creative and innovative young people are today. What an incredible build. Congratulations On an outstanding job well done!

[sentb]

This is such a unique build. His style and attention to detail is impeccable

[ambercroff]

I love his thrift and innovation. Great example of setting a budget and making it happen.

This bus ticks all the boxes. Double sink..long bench..corner seating..huge wardrobe. This is one of the coolest ones I have seen yet. Seriously..who needs a house.

[janitorman]

What you have here isn’t simply a home it’s a piece of art. Well done sir.

Hi Caleb,

Absolutely beautiful transformation!!

Just found your channel this afternoon and not only did I give the video a "thumbs up" but I am now a subscriber.
My wife and myself are both a very healthy 73 and have considered something like this for the past 1-2 years and you just might be the inspiration we need.
As long as you keep on posting - we'll keep on tuning in.

All the very best to you and yours and those you hold dear,

Terry (from the middle of Minnesota)

This build is amazing and so neat, I love when the bed is neatly made up, can't stand a messy bed. You're awesome.

[cliftonmcnalley]

This is the first time I've looked at a "tiny home" and didn't get claustrophobia! The windows and lights are amazing. Massive brownie points for the practical, actual closet space! A real bed, plenty of seating if friends drop by. Hope UT gave some credit hours for this, too! Your architectural career will be very successful. Great job and great design.
Had to laugh about the sewing, though. Done some plumbing, electrical, woodworking, etc., sewing is the slam dunk part for me. 😉

[kitschmygrits]

Yes to the closet space. Finally someone that's realistic about it! What a great home. Love it!

[shapienails]

I like this idea so much better than a Tiny house on a trailer. This has everything, looks/feels homie & it's drivable!!

[xelamercedes]

I've been watching tiny house/skoolie/van conversion videos for over a year now. I've easily watched over 1000 of them and this is, hands down, the best I've seen. The conversion is fabulously executed. The design and layout are spectacular, truly. One of the first I've seen that I can imagine living in (I'm a 5'11" female classical pianist) and everything is where it should be! The cherry on top is this young man's wisdom and insight as re attitude and the nonmaterial components that a project like this requires. Good job! Thanks for sharing.

You found answers for the important things! Water, flow, storage, cohesiveness, budget, etc...You really rocked this! I can't wait to see what you accomplish in the future!
