Self Built Skoolie Tour - Tiny Home on Wheels For $15k

[@AlternativeHouse]

Many thanks to Sawyer and Chelsea for showing us their cosy tiny home. What do you like most about it? Cheers 🙌 Roman & Ioana

[@butwereallsombdyspecial]

Aww your maiden voyage across country. I'm in Southern Colorado

[@jessiferri2922]

The half brick walls really do make it look like a nice house in the burbs.

[@debboyea9567]

Everything!

[@lc-bb6bd]

Beautiful

[@nadinebrooks8005]

Thanks 😊

[@jenniferaviles2473]

I loved how is NO SHOES, but Pets and Plants Allowed. I shared that with you both. Super cute couple, many blessings.

[@superdude1759]

I love seeing young people like yourselves that are mature and doing so much! You've done quite well here. As an aircraft mechanic who has worked on Boeing and Airbus aircraft I have a little appreciation of the energy, difficulty and time that it takes to disassemble, fabricate and assemble so "hats off to you," you've done well! For future reference use RTV silicone as a sealant. It does wonders and is easily obtainable at most hardware stores just make sure you surface prep well before application, like the way you did for paint! You can use it for faying surface, fillet and edge sealing. You can Google those terms. There are good "how to" videos on KZbin. Happy Trails!

[@robinprice6879]

Definitely one of the better payed out and comfortable looking builds I’ve seen

[@slptp]

The deadbolt on the back door is genius. I've seen a lot of variations when it comes to trying to lock this area, but this one takes the award for easiest implementation of something off the shelf, it's sturdy, isn't ugly (or dangerous and pointy), and just makes sense.

[@anieselopez7920]

I remember as a kid my parents set a no shoe rule & just thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Years later in my own place I now see why aha absolutely an awesome build love skoolies! One day 🙏🏼

[@heartstrings7814]

The most beautiful dining table design in a bus conversion I have ever seen. So unique and gorgeous.

[@FauxiFox]

The Dog is like “Im a Star!” Yes you are. Beautiful home, beautiful couple and beautiful Pom Pom.

[@susanreas2128]

I have to say for 15k it looks really nice and well thought out. Great job!

[@christineboydstrongtower]

LISTEN TO WISE ADVICE…you two are inspiring…and I see lots of thought and hard work…I love front door entrance ‼️❣️❣️❣️👍🏻 all of it‼️‼️👏👏👏👍

[@pdales2257]

You both did an amazing job. I love seeing young people trying to figure out ways to make living expenses much more affordable and at the same time creating a beautiful home. Great job 👏

[@karenchristian9204]

Can y’all come by and pick me up? I just love your skoolie. It looks so homie. I like the accent with the plants, the accommodations for the animals, especially under the bed. I like the brick accent, the kitchen, and the color of the bus. I watched several bus conversion videos and yours by far is the best, especially for the small amount of money you invested. You guys should feel proud of yourself being so young to achieve a great accomplishment.

[@darkangelw8472]

Absolutely gorgeous, so homely

[@samichgrrl]

Haha... look up the word homely.

[@fofofofo3076]

@@samichgrrl lol

[@rattlesnakepatriot3131]

I do not think that word means what you think it does.

[@mojo9883]

I would take a guess that Darkangel W is from England. They absolutely use the term homely when referring to a place that people in America would call homey.

[@timothyross6338]

The little stove and dog feeders display are just amazing 😇❤❤

[@godsunra9]

They knew what they wanted and did the damn thing! Congrats and love your build and drive! Keep it up and sending safe travels for the road and adventure

[@ricardomoseley]

Indeed. 💃🏾🙌🏾😻🤌🏾

[@jenniferlowe-brewer8083]

Those window locks for the drawers are genius!

[@jturn365401]

So proud of U two, enjoy your adventure, embrace your youth and freedom. I'm disable and living, watching your journey, have fun.😃

[@Chris-cv2ig]

nice build, but for your own health and safety, get rid of the unvented heater. Not because of carbon monoxide, but because of the high moisture build up they produce. Long story short, you are prone to pneumonia from it. As a propane tech, I try to keep people who use my product, as safe as possible.

[@premoist2095]

[@justlikerichie]

What an outstanding build for a DIY project. They really planned out and executed a great use of space. Their decor gives this skoolie a real nice home feeling. Cool build! Cool couple!

[@mysticalmisty9772]

Loving everything about this tiny home on wheels, the way they’ve kept some of the original features from the bus, with items they have picked up along the way is fab it gives the home more character & quirkyness! Just shows you don’t have to spend stupid money doing a bus or van up, Well done I say 😃

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

Sawyer and Chelsea, you’re such an amazing couple to venture into this lifestyle at your age. You’re going to have your life all planned out with the biggest rewards the people older than you never have, and I’m SOOO proud of you !!! Peace, love n’ light and huge blessings to you beautiful souls !!! May your life always bring you happiness ✨🌸🧚🏽‍♀️💕🤟🏽🪔🙋🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♂️🐶🐶🙏🏼 🚐💨💨💨

[@stanky6261973]

Gorgeous, not so tiny, tiny house :). Love your dogs! The 2 of you and his dad did an amazing job! Have fun and stay safe.

[@timeforchange3786]

Beautiful job. I love how they appreciate his dad. Cute couple

[@StormsLover94]

That is the nicest shower set-up I think I've ever seen! The whole bus feels so quaint and cozy

[@NKBobcat]

I love how the cute little dog is looking into the camera. Nice job on this!

Beautiful bus! Love seeing young people so motivated and taking risks. I hope their parents are proud of them. Good job!🙌🏾

[@franktuckwell196]

The best thing is getting to see, "What is around the next corner?" Take care out there, stay safe, enjoy.

[@maytwu5044]

young, happy, constructive, creative and productive. Congrats! Enjoy yourselves !

[@tWz4462]

I love their brick kitchen wall. Very nice mobile home 🏡☺️

[@BlueYiperoo]

This young couple has a very nice non-traditional home. I liked everything about it. Thank you to them for showing us their home.

[@caliemm2159]

Love the brightness...& the greenery everywhere, magnetic circle tint covers are able to help with the dimmer issue when you need it.

[@davidkinzie8998]

I love the light colors and The light that comes in through the top.

[@lindamarie6574]

I love seeing all of these young people doing all this diy to buses and going minimal and being so creative! Kudos!

[@sadiemae9367]

Y'all got such good vibes.... can def tell y'all good people. Enjoy your journey. Safe & Happy Travels!

[@RoundTownWithMike]

Did he say "No ones getting out from the inside"!!! Sketch! Haha

[@smccartney333]

You two are adorable and yolur bus is rad! Bright Blessings on your journey!

[@timothysmith8667]

You know what I love about it is the outside looks totally like a bus I mean and the inside looks like an RV that you bought right off the lot it looks so cool it looks like a total like The Best of both worlds the outside and the inside and I love what you do with the man

[@anonymousone9699]

The best part about this tour is how laissez faire the couple is. This is the key to happiness, but also, I’d worry if I was their parents. Like, get inspections done to make sure you are safe kids. My fave space is the bathroom. She was putting down their tiling skills. I was amazed at the beautiful styling choices they made. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lorimckellar2787]

"We have plenty of storage", words of a minimalist, lol. The only thing they collect is rocks!! Their home is beautiful!! I'm envious!! Great job!!

[@Melissarwilliams]

I loved your video! Both of you are so authentic and laid back, so refreshing! I am so inspired to do this some day, my BF is down as well, we just need to make the leap. I wish you both peace and happiness! Thank you for sharing.

[@esthermarcen7587]

beautiful home on wheels, beautiful honest young couple, refreshing to hear them talk about their dream life.

[@prettywingslife]

Feels so much more like home when you build it yourself. This is super cute 😍 can't wait to finish mine 😊

[@mirestvlogs1709]

I can see there's a mature coordination between you both.. nice result! Congratulations

[@raybran7865]

So far only 1 minute in and he's already said definitely 7 times lol. Beautiful bus guys! You did a amazing job 👏🏻

[@stephaniestauffer5338]

[@christine_hazel_lange]

you two are so young but so mature... you have presented yourselves so well to the public.. I cant find the proper and right words to describe how convincing and positive you two are...thank you for being such great inspiration! God Bless... I have dreamed of living off grid but afraid of ifs and what ifs.. but the way you guys made it sound is so positive that .. i wish i can find that perfect school bus to just purchase and take it home and ill figure out what to do with it later.. LOL.. MUUUUAAAHHH!

[@stopper20]

Nice job you guys! Love that you’re doing what so many spend their entire lives dreaming about.

[@ابوعمارابوعمار-غ1ج]

[@flgirl250]

I love your color choices and your design is awesome. Safe Travels

[@davidmcgahan5328]

Great job guys looks awesome. Thanks for showing us your build. Stay safe on your travels.

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

You have created a gorgeous home on wheels. The level of craftsmanship is top notch and the woodwork your Dad did is amazing. To prevent shoes piling up on the rug next to the door get a bin with a lid or build a wooden box with a lid (that you seal with waterproof finish to protect the wood )and add handles to make it easier to pick up and store whenever you hit the road and to keep the creepy crawlies out and decorate the top to remind people to put their shoes in it before entering the bus. You could get creative with wood burning a design, carve one or paint something as there are endless possibilities to make it reflect your personalities and esthetic. Awesome job and it’s definitely in my top 5 of favorite conversions/tiny homes. 🤗❤️❤️👍🏻🚌 since you know how to sew it might be a good idea to make some magnetic screens to put over the windows whenever you open them. Have you ever thought of putting some extra strong Velcro on the items on the shelf in the kitchen to prevent them from moving when you are on the road. For the pantry build a unit that has shelves and can be pulled out with drawer slides and/or have wheels at the bottom which you might not need if you use slides that hold higher weight limits. I have seen this in many schoolies and conversions both van and truck and RV. Last thing to consider is adding some metal mesh (with a smaller design openings in the mesh) panels to the underside of the brackets that hold your water tanks under the bus to prevent road debris from hitting and damaging your tanks. How are you going to winterize the tanks and water lines if you are traveling in the colder months and areas of the country that get much colder? The mini split would definitely make it more livable year round because it heats and cools and with the location in the back it would transfer to the front better with only a small fan you could attach in the hallway. Everyone learns more about their schoolie and various types of homes once they actually live in it for a while. Like I said you have created a gorgeous home and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures. Wishing you the best and stay safe and healthy out there on your journey. ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻🤗❤️

[@bloodybonescomic]

Love the dashboard and the kitchen and bedroom. Overall a very nice bus.

[@maggieferrell4538]

You two are the cutest ever!!! You’ve done your homework & paid your dues…. Now for the adventure 💕💕💕👍🏼

[@dianeasterling1592]

I absolutely love the entire build. The fact that you guys wanted room for your furby babies is just really awesome. My husband and I have recently made up our minds to start looking for a bus to start our journey and that is one of my main concerns is to make sure our 3 are just as comfy. 😁 Really getting excited !

[@dafunkdafunk]

Congrats!

[@miniskooliewanda]

Well done! Kudos to you both for all the planning and hard work. Puppers are super cute! Thanks for sharing!

[@kimnelligan9820]

Wow. Nicely done. Their accents are so cute too. 😊

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

Very nice. I love that wood ceiling.

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Wow very nicely done. The shifter with leather wrap is awesome. Tasteful use of wood and white. Nice touch with the pop of color on the kitchen cabinets. What a deal at 15k. We are up to 60k for our overlander 20ft box van conversion camper build.

[@willbrown6615]

This is a beautiful home and I'm happy you shared 💙

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

I like that you embrace your tiny mistakes. You should be able to remove that grout haze. Lots of elbow grease. Great job kids, looks like a comfortable home.

[@charleswidmore5458]

Awesome job guys. May the wind be always at your back.

[@wiltonbuild]

Nice job, cool that you built it for that budget, I'm a little over that on our 2001 thomas 84 passenger skoolie so far.

[@jacquelyngonzales6689]

Cant wait

[@AlternativeHouse]

Enjoy the video 🤗

[@butterpeak6336]

Amazing! I love how you guys are making practical decisions with the interior

I think 🤔 you two done an awesome job 👏 everything is perfect. Thanks for sharing 👌 👍

[@rhondaivory6844]

Well done. Really homeie

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Very nice build. Unfortunately any time you enlarge a window or change the structure of a vehicle you run the risk of leaking. You may end up just completely redoing the skylight. But you did a great job! Travel safe. God bless!
