Need a deadbolt to put on it i think that will work

[@deriusnorris4463]

Yuuuup

[@0HARE]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@KnotHead01]

you know... they make transparent window coverings... decorative or frosted, its just a window cling and nobody will see your butt when you go to poop! and you get to keep the window workable. Just a thought i wanted to share! Happy New Year!

[@shanefagan9642]

I see the little hold ups as just that , the split seconds that change the timing of life i.e avoiding traffic incidents and what not. I can see your excitement of being on the rd. You smile shows it

[@hgj2019]

Well said Shane. Years ago ,as part of my job at a major university, I became aware that roof damage from FALLING BULLETS was relatively common. So much so that according to the campus roof crew EVERY BUILDING ON CAMPUS had gotten roof damage from these falling bullets, shot into the air in celebration. I realized that those annoying momentary delays could serve the purpose of interrupting the timing that might have a bullet fall onto a walking persons head, with a less than ideal outcome. I then resolved to accept those delays as a gift and not be annoyed by them.

Assortment sizes of bungee cords always comes in handy...

Emma is a badass...just throwing caution in the wind and not even watching it fly away!

[@dawnsnyder216]

Emma on your bathroom, why not put shower pan on that one side, use a wrap around shower curtain to prevent water getting on walls. And get a different shower head that follows wall up then ceiling so you are standing under it. Both would contain the water. Then put vinyl cover on windows to block view in and give privacy. Then put slider door or doors in front. Just a thought. You can get shower pans to fit all the bathroom floor if you prefer

[@mikebk7807]

Oh, you bought Haribo Goldbears. Those were invented and made where I live! I work really close to the old factory and you can always tell by the smell what they are producing at the moment. 😀😀

[@billsandrelli957]

There is no bad way to build, as long as it suits you in the end.

[@quintonsoule1061]

You can add a door closers to your door on the top that will help just get a strong one

[@Mekazas]

Welcome back Emma! May your year turn out as beautiful as you are.

[@johnyaceyko9775]

I got a door with a latch,that can be used daily, if you turn it. You need to use the key. If it's locked you have to turn the key twice. You probably just need your brother to help you support the door.

[@brockvagis1657]

OMG your videos never disappoint lol 🥰

[@michaelirizarry5037]

my favorite day of the week. another emmasode of bus life. Happy New Year Emma!

[@neilchilds7555]

Keep up with the good work don’t let it over whelm you you all so look so cute in your winter ware

[@Victor.McCann]

Exaction cord works love it you improvised

[@nourltuber]

Doesn't make no sense, at your expense that you keep me in suspense at what you will will do next! You make me wonder about how I can help you, but I am so entertained by your intriguing way you get things done that it's just astounds me how you come to fruition to get the job done! Nice to see Winston, and happy to see that you are in familiar territory's that bring you happiness! 😁 Emma, have a great New Year, and best wishes. You are killing it! 🚍🧤🧣🐕

[@JR-mq2mv]

Loved the extension chord trick. Improvise and overcome.

[@graffix11us]

Great music selection for this video, it just felt right.

[@neilchilds7555]

Your looking different and acting worldly confident go getting keep going stay safe

[@natemalnaa1]

You should get a deadbolt put in and you could add some eye hooks to the top and bottom of the door to make sure it says closed. Also have you ever thought about getting a cell phone booster? 🤔

[@norm5785]

What a start. I agree dead bolt might be best. Your skills as a home builder have definitely improved. Love the way you think things out, by using the least bad choice. I am sure the bathroom will be fantastic. Thank you for sharing, stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

[@KincaidBlackwood]

DualEx has some great build videos where he works on showers in campers and vans. Really informative if you've never seen his channel. Good luck!

[@colingerard7863]

Hi Emma. Firstly, your Dad has a great laugh. Plus, watching you steering with one hand while your other hand is holding a cord to stop door from opening, reminded me of those westerns when a rider has the reins in one hand and a rope pulling a pack horse with the other :-)) Health and happiness to you and your family in the New Year. Sending you good vibes from London.

[@DSwecker]

Good job!!

[@jeffreythomas9106]

Hey Emma. Good to see you back. Hope you had a great Christmas. Great to see you driving your bus again. Keep up the good work and hope you have a happy new year. Love you Emma 💛 💛💛💛💛💛💛

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Happy New Year Emma, may 2023 bring you much adventures.

[@bigguy5155]

i think i would do the door different but thats your choice, you keep your head up and dont give up

[@jamesorendorff2731]

Emma , hopefully you'll have a great. New year ... love watching you and your creative solutions to build Oh...your door opening...a simple Bungie cord would have also worked as well 👍

[@LeonardVanHouten]

Put either a deadbolt or a latch on the inside of the door for when traveling so it will not come open anymore.

[@robbyoliver4953]

You need a door closer that holds pressure against the door,it shaking and moving the door knob mechanism isn’t going to keep it closed.

[@0HARE]

It’s fun to see you out in the bus. I like how much you were smiling in this one. You seem to be getting much more comfortable driving, living in, and working on the bus. Best Of Luck

[@floridachickstinyadventures]

Ha! My door kept coming open on me too and had to tie with a rope as well

[@toddpadua6261]

LOOKING GOOD WITH THE NEW HAIR DO.....

[@jimberryman185]

Hello there☺ i hope you had a Christmas as beautiful as you 😍 andHappy Newyear to you ❤

[@hgj2019]

I’m an old retired guy with a grown daughter. I think we should all show great appreciation for your having called your dad for advice. I know beyond doubt that it made his day, and a great part of me suspects that you did it,at least in part, knowing that it would make his day. I also want to say,and NOT in a creepy way, that you are just an absolutely delightful presence on KZbin. So adorably sweet, cute, positive, and admirably capable. Be sure to tell ALL your friends just how lucky they are to have you in their lives,and tell ‘em Rusty said so! 😄👴🏻

[@EmmaBuildsBirbie]

thank you so much 😊

[@rickyjohnson4717]

Maybe one of those codes is "Caution, someone strapped the door closed!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Emma

[@tony_r_w9979]

Oh so good !

[@leslieservantofgod8601]

You should install a deadbolt on your door that'll keep it closed and give you safety in my motorhome my door came open going through town luckily it didn't hit anything I forgot to lock my deadbolt

[@Snipedog1978]

Emma, hope you had a merry Christmas, happy New years and that everything is going fabulous for u and birdie

[@Sarapartridge1856]

You have more patience then I do😂 atleast you don't have a full out meltdown (atleast not from what you show us anyways) I remember watching you're earlier videos and could completely relate. I'd cry get frustrated but be stubborn enough to try and figure it out. I also learned to say eff the instructions and watch KZbin tutorials 😅 cannot explain how often KZbin has made my life sooooo much easier and less meltdowney ... Side note you're always entertaining to watch, just relatable in every way. Glad to see you back on the road again❤️ happy travels also happy new years!

[@EmmaBuildsBirbie]

thank you! happy new year!

[@renoflames]

Great video Thank you...Very Impressive.

[@skismosis]

this girl is very pleasant, i like her, very talented, happy new year Emma.

[@jaco_oosthuizen]

Happy New Year, young adventurer.

[@darkfactory8082]

You're such a caracter, like a cartoon. 😄 Problem solving, gettting ready, figuring out the solutions.. You got pretty good at it.. Well, some work is still required to fix your bus "home" although I'm absolutely sure you will nail it. What about trying some different latch mechanism for the door? Maybe some hybrid or some part of a car's door latch? Home latches are not intended for vibration, which you could probably overcome anyway, but I think it's a problem of the spacing. It has to engage enough in depth so it holds the door closed. Or you can add an additional "locking" device from the inside, so when you're driving you're able to lock it and prevent opening, which will give you the ability to open it in an emergency. The strap is a very makeshift solution, but it's the easiest. Cheers, Emma, you're composed enough, a free thinker. Damn, also I get irritated when I get something and has imperial or english measurements.. With those I never know how big it is.. 😕 Happy New Year, a lot of fortune, successes, health and peace I wish to you. Cheers.🤗

[@G58]

Emma, you are BY FAR the kookiest and most adorable elf I’ve ever come across. The units dilemma was hilarious. So obvious, yet an obstacle the size of Texas for you. Merry belated appropriated Pagan Festives, an early Happy New Year and much luck, health and happiness in 2023. Peace 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@dawngrey259]

I had to laugh Emma when your bus door flew open. I had the same thing happen to me, although my battery door flew open at the same time so it looked like my bus was flapping it’s wings. 😂 Heh, always a good idea to keep a bungie on board. Never know what might take flight next. 🤣

[@themikeh1961]

Thank God you're alright! We were worried sick!!! Next time CALL if you're gonna skip a video. Some of us have grown rather dependent on them. I mean, it's not a recognized addiction, like heroin or Gummy Bears. But it's pretty close. We're just glad you're still alive. Most of us figured you were finally crushed by that little motorcycle. Anyway. Good luck with the bathroom.

[@deenafrayo]

Maybe try a hasp and a carabiner for your door

[@kannieschrijfnie2042]

What a surprise to see this video on the last day of this year!! It made this extremely rainy and windy day so much better. You know how to entertain your public that is for sure Emma. As always you’ll find a way to solve your problems with Birbie. Keep smiling since yours is beautiful. Happy New Year for later. We in 🇳🇱 have some 8,5 hours to go in 2022. Till next year Emma.

[@keithburkett9448]

Great Video and Happy New Years Too You Emma

[@jayu724]

Emma still building stuff! Enjoy your holidays, and a safe and happy New Year 🙂 Emma, you need a Calendar For 2023! You'd have a sell-out!..all your wonderful Vlogs for images!..👍

[@stevengregory8686]

Nice breakfast for champions Emma, I love cold pizza. Also, I see you have a road partner-Winston-great company. I hope you had a great Christmas, travel safe!!!

[@steinjohansen3142]

You are adorable!

Happy New Year Emma.

what a beautiful thumbnail picture.

[@annwatrous1289]

Happy New Year 🎉🎉

[@misterpogi1352]

I think the codes were for the way you fixed the door.

[@tomwebster3636]

Keep on rocking Emma!! What ive been thinking of building is a stainless steel showerstall for when I get a bus?

[@alanhat5252]

Stainless steel is heavy but if you get it thin enough it's not too bad, it's easy to get it lighter than ceramic tiles, just make sure you get a grade that doesn't rust. If your design needs welding TIG is best.

[@tomwebster3636]

@@alanhat5252 thankyou Alan I'll look into that. I'm not that read up on metalworking.

[@skismosis]

extension cord works like a rope in an emergency

[@ronaldsnider8078]

The door latch slide has to go into the plate. The material behind the plate may need to be in large. Also the slide plate needs to be slide out to receive the latch. An easy fix.

[@crisabnee1739]

you look amazing in those sweats!!

[@diablofubar3623]

Happy New Year Emma...:)

[@IsaacRynearson]

You don't need to turn off your engine when filling with diesel!!! you can hold a flame up to diesel and it won't light, static electricity is no threat!!

[@mrmotofy]

May still be state law though. Not sure if it only applies to gasoline or all vehicles

[@quintonsoule1061]

Happy new year

If you install a dead bolt above your other door knob, the door can not pop open.

Man o man!

[@francoisg1393]

Do you plan on closing in the bathroom, or just keep it open-ish and just add curtains? If you want to keep it open, while having the option for some intimacy, you could just have a door between your kitchen/living area and your closet/bathroom area. You could just have a curtain around the shower pan, but otherwise leave it open. It comes down to whether you prefer to build walls or build a door. 😜 I'm still in love with your skylight, every time it's on the shot. I don't know how you've liked it so far (too hot in the summer, right?), but it's still one of the coolest features of your bus. You just need a mechanism to hold it open if you want to let air in or out. Some trimming. And perhaps a piece of reflectix with magnets to keep it in place. Anyways, loved the video. You look gorgeous (new hair cut?). Happy holidays.

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

The cord won't work, so instead of getting a door latch or hook you rig up a handle so you can make a better cord connection. ????

[@paulshannon4576]

Stop at Walmart or a hardware store and get a set of bungee cords, they will be handy. Does he also advise you to not wear a seat belt for the same reason? The screws you used won’t stand up to a pry bar. Now you understand why men just open the box and take out the components and the instructions never leave the box. 🤣🤣

[@lindomarchagas1877]

Seal off the shower and toilet into one section with a drain plug in the middle of the floor then you won't flood the rest of the bus.

The codes are thrown by a computer. Rule #1 for when a computer does something suspicious, turn off all power and restart.

You went all the way to the hardware store and didn't just buy a slide bolt ?

Wouldn't it be cool if every vehicle on the road had a lit up scrolling sign on top of their car saying (very generally) where the heck they are going? I want proof that ALL those cars on the road are actually going somewhere and they aren't just fake.

[@lbjackson5179]

When you dad began to laugh on the phone call, my first thoughts, were it would be priceless to hear his after thoughts, because I'll bet it's a wooper. Your a hot mess dear. And I hope your banking big for your video's out of sheer dumb luck. That door fix was a dambass move and if you went to a hardware store and didn't ask anyone in the place what they would have done..... For the length of your buss and the amount of space you have you could have put the walkway to your bedroom on one side and had a much bigger bathroom with the shower head at the top center of the roof. So maybe you could ask some of your viewers to send you a drawing of how they'd lay out your buss if it was theirs.

Happy new year Emma, i’ve been watching you since day one, and finally figured it out you’re just like me, you have extreme ADHD. I don’t worry you will get it done one day.
