Broken-Tile Mosaic Shower Floor & Mosaic Shower Wall Repairs in our Skoolie

[@loisrobinsonrobinson1222]

Wow Girl you are so creative, I wouldn't think of that.looking great

[@paulpowell9579]

Kerry, I know space is at a premium in a skoolie, but I would save a small box of pieces in case you need to do a repair. I've been a long haul truck driver for 23 years, and I know how the road can shake stuff loose

[@Tara_thatonegirl]

Wow!! Such a labor of love… the shower of course, but the whole video too… ⭐️

[@reganfisher22]

I've gone searching for a seascape mosaic idea to do in my bathroom and yours is beautiful! I laughed to myself when I realized that while I was watching it that I am wearing the same shirt as Mike is in this video! 💙

[@wesleyluvsoktoberfest]

I love your videos. It’s helped me through the last year of chemo, twice, radiation and 4 surgeries. I’m on the mend and everyday should be lived like it’s your last. I think what y’all are doing is admirable and I’m green with envy. I going to start redoing my RV in January so I can hit the road when I have enough energy to complete my renovation. As a retired architect I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’d do a skoolie but I don’t have that much time and I don’t have Mike’s hands on skills. Remember cut twice and measure once. I look forward to seeing you adventurous videos of y’all traveling on the road with Miss Kitty. Happy trails from the sunny and now cool north Georgia mountains. 🌈🌞

There is a reason your still here on earth, and "God Has A Bigger Calling For You." Dig in and get as much done to be road worthy, and meet new RVers they can help you finish it out as you go. God's calling will present itself to you when He's ready. Don't sweat it and just do it!!! I'm a survivor also, and I just started on a 40' Van Hool conversion. Do the bedroom first so when you get a little tired you can rest comfietable, and keep your cell on you at all times. God Bless You, w.w./Oklahoma

MOVING OUT- AWESOME GUYS!

[@deborahwhite5213]

I am probably too late but one tip I got from pros at tile, was to deepen the grout lines around the tiles. The grout is key! deep grout lines will make your job last.

[@josephcavallero9341]

Shower looks awesome good team work

I know this sounds weird I could sit and watch hours of video of you doing the mosaic I used to do mosaic years ago but my hands don't let me do it anymore that is such a beautiful shower wow👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍. ✌🤙❤👨‍🍳🎅🚌

I haven't seen a road runner since I was a kid!! I was born in AZ, but moved to the PNW before my teenage years. The shower looks amazing!! I love the starfish, it really ties it all together! You make it look so easy!!! Can't wait to see the finished product of all your labor and love. Great job finding that drain on eBay! I found lens covers on there for my bus brake lights (I managed to lose one). It's a great place to go treasure hunting!

[@KMF3]

Wow I love your shower mosaic. That is super cool. I've been doing my kitchen backsplash with broken dishes. But my mosaic looks nothing like yours. Mine is very colorful but you have done an absolutely tremendous job on shaping your tiles.

Hi Mike, Hi Kerry, Once again I'm glad to see you both looking well and Kerry your shower Mosaic looks fabulous, you have done such a great job on it...Well back to bed for me as I have to get up in three hours to go grocery shopping to keep out of everyone elses way, stay safe you two and keep well, love to you both as always...

[@ZeRowe]

Kerry, (and Mike ) I don’t have an artsy/craftsy bone in my body but that shower mosaic is just phenomenal! 😎🍻

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day it will be interesting to see if the tile adhesive stands up to the job, it's not meant for excessive movement and the bangs and the vibration of the bus, the stuff is meant for a house wall with little to no movement. Construction adhesive or some silicone that can take the movement and shock of the movement of the bus, but good luck guys and I really hope that it works out, if not you can always add silicone or similar bit by bit. John

[@kristentaylor7051]

please share with us your process of de-junking and getting rid of house hold stuff. I have 2 years ahead of me and I have started giving children stuff.love you 2,can't wait to meet up someday.

[@BussyMcBusface]

Kerry got an early start separating items she wanted to keep but the reality is that we were ruthless in decisions we made. At first it was difficult saying goodbye to things that you wanted to do something with someday. After a Time it became way easier to grab handfuls of things and throw them in the trash. The reality was that we were storing things that we never touched and holding on to things that we probably were never going to use again. Except for some sentimental items and some hard to replace items, it wasn't that hard to separate ourselves from our junk.

[@edpearson6816]

Great job ! Im a 30+ year tile installer, nicely done 👍

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Can not say enough about how great it looks!! Still can't believe how much work it was and still some left! BUT Those showers will be so much more satisfying! Looking, awesome guys!

[@rickdrummond2679]

Nice 👌 job Looks "AWESOME!!!"

[@batTorah]

Beautiful! Simply beautiful!

[@_just_looking_thank_you]

It would be more expensive and time consuming, but it would look so good if you used multiple colors of grout: blue for the sky, white for the clouds, etc. Please give it a little thought. I regrouted a grey kitchen counter with white, and it didn’t even have time to set up before I was scraping it all out to redo it in grey. Worth it though.

[@randyrainwater983]

Great choice on fixing the sun ray and float work. 👏👏👍👍

[@kpremo88]

Awesome!!!! Oh my. Grouting 😖 I’m scared for you. Hahaha You can never sell this bus. I can’t see it belong omg to ANYONE else. After watching you guys for so long it’s clear this bus is just a massive representation of who you guys are. Love the bus and love watching you guys finish it up! Excited to see where you adventure to first! 🙌

[@myas3656]

As always, informative and entertaining video. Karry, this shower is coming out so beautifully! We watched with baited breath for the Big Reveal and then - “stay tuned to next time”....arhhh, can’t wait to see this project done, it’s beyond lovely! Great camera work Mike.

[@Kristy_not_Kristine]

I'm excited for you!! It was fun watching you work on the shower floor (and walls).

[@danhillier534]

Looking awesome!! Who gets the first shower??🤔🤔

[@nena4215]

That’s so nice Kerry, excellent job! Keep one or two of each color to fix it if they ever break, just a little insurance....such a cool shower!

[@TheWoodensong]

Hey Y'all...Ol' Scooter over in East Texas sez, "It just gets better with every episode."

[@addy3dia]

Thank u so much you just gave me a great idea what to do with my scrap tile

[@brentfrench752]

Looking great! Can’t wait to see it completed. One suggestion, I’d suggest you apply the grout to the shower walls ASAP as this will really lock in the tile. Again, looks awesome!

[@suzique5827]

NICE 👍

[@dzlfreek]

that looks amazing! I wonder, though, because of the smooth finish of the plates that adhesion is going to be an ongoing issue. If you look at tile, the grout side is porous and rough, giving the thin set something to bite into. Oh well, just keep some grout, thin set and some tile tools on the bus with you and fix it when it breaks.

[@hterah90]

This is the only video I’ve seen, but I subscribed bc y’all are totally precious and adorable and this is such an amazing project! Definitely a “feel-good” watch! Thank you guys for being you ♥️

Awesome

[@senforex]

Bravo for the mosaic works and remember, an RV on the road faces a tornado outside and an earthquake inside every hour! 😀

[@rennemichaels2706]

I think, since the plate pieces are also glazed on both sides, so there isn't a good amount of tooth on the back side for the thin set to grab onto.

[@briandavis9975]

Looks great can't wait to see it completed its going to be awesome

[@sarrenwolfe4613]

You two are amazing!!! I've watched the entire series and wow!! Love your work!

Brilliant. Rather than throw the broken plate pieces away to go to the landfill, what about taking pics and putting them on FB Marketplace or Craigslist?

Wonderful job Luv a luvly peice of art, onya : )

[@pettyfogger2305]

Dear Ms K, while Mike seems to be something of an open book, you, on the other hand are a walking enigma. I have decided that you were, at one time, THAT teacher; probably elementary or in the arts but nonetheless, THAT teacher who like Ferris Bueller, was adored by the Goths, the Graters, the Heads, etc. as a "righteous dude". Maybe not in this life, but sometime, somewhere you were the teacher that young women wanted to be and even the scruffiest boy broke his dour facade to release the artist within. On a scale of 1-10, might I be a Sherlock or more of a Schlock? In any case, we admire your Beauty to Mike-gyver's crusty Beast. BTW, your work of art shower is a masterpiece and really should in the Louvre, not "the Loo"!

[@sophiainoregon8768]

Love your bus! You two have done a fabulous job. Did you by any chance save a few pieces of each color of tile just in case a few break down the road? I'm hoping they won't but seems you would have trouble matching colors? Just a thought. Both of you have a wonderful week.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Just save a plate of each color. Use them for dinner till you need to break one to fix a "gotcha" in the shower.

[@watahyahknow]

Doesnt matter a lot with the walls but make real shure to lay the tiles flat on the floor if one of the points are slightly up even a tiny bit theres a big chance you cut youre foot on it you could sand all the glazed edges but tuat be a LOT of work the mount of tilebits in the big bin reminds me of sumting a filipino neighbour of mine did , she used to send balac bayan boxes to the filipines , those are boxes that are send there for a set price and are not limited in weight or by wat you want to put in it , i just need to fit inside the box , the boxes get consolidated intoo a sea container and redistrubuted once on the islands whenll they chaged that policy slightly with a maximum weight after my neighbour decided to fill the box up with glazed tiles for her new home in the filipines turning the box intoo a clay block of roughly the same size as the size of the box , the guy picking the box up for shipping allmost couldnt lift it and he still had to go down 4 flights of stars with it

[@Big-Kei]

Question.... why didn't you guys use e600 glue instead of thinset? In the wall concrete or cement or something? Genuine question tho....I've seen people use e600 doing mosaic tiling on sinks and vanities. Then they used grout on the whole thing. This is beautiful BTW. 😍

[@irietropicals4255]

So cool! How did you get all those tiles on the wall perfectly cut the same?

[@BussyMcBusface]

Hand cut every single piece to fit from dinner plates.

I can’t believe your leaving us hanging like this. Come on Kerry, your killing me Smalls. It’s looking fantastic though. Hope the yard sale/moving sale went good.

[@KMF3]

What I've learned is you need to have smaller pieces around your main focal point and then your pieces can get larger as the area is further away from your focal point. And you need to have some tile Nippers to be able to shape your pieces

[@neilfairless4589]

Kerry, do you have any Greek in you? after your penchant for plate breaking.

[@margittkennedy1311]

I wonder if you should keep a small tub that has a few of each color tiles for on the fly repairs? You would be so frustrated if you needed to repair something and couldn't match it up!

[@Mike-cr4pl]

[@debbievk9901]

Don't leave all your tiles. bag some or put in a jar for decoration. they will fall off or break...moving bus...It would be hard if not impossible to match forever. I've never made a comment to anyone before. love yall working so hard.! sure you've thought about that..

[@sammiemarie14]

If u put grout between it hold them on better

[@kiltedbill7594]

VERY JOINT WORTHY.....PICTURE ME WITH A BIG SMILE HERE.

[@livinglife8333]

Should have used liquid nails behind all of those tiles, the bouncing in the roads will cause them to pop off.

[@BussyMcBusface]

Liquid nails is mastic and will fail due to prolonged water intrusion. Liquid nails is an organic compound that decays when exposed to water. Liquid nails is a very poor choice of adhesion.

[@mrrayekennedy]

I would've donated the broken plates to a florist so they could use as potted plant base in place of stones. Recycle, recycle, recycle.

[@KMF3]

Oh no you could have given them to me. Your broken up plates look like my broken up plates

[@KMF3]

Why did you put contact paper on the front side? I think I would have used and did use mesh backing to create the design and then install it. That way you have got absolutely nothing that you need to take off. And all of your tiles stick. It also gives additional Integrity To Your Design. Try it next time you do a tiling project
