Creating a lovely, welcoming home shouldn't cost a lot of money. This video is so inspiring, thank you for sharing.

[@johnaquino4291]

The observation about putting roof top boxes on the LEFT, as opposed to the right, to avoid low hanging branches really makes sense; that could apply to anything up, or sticking out of, the roof. This is why I watch these videos -every now and then I can learn something really practical. Thank you.

I love this. This, to me, is a very realistic bus house. It is lovely when people can take them apart and create something completely new.. no hate, I love those houses, too! But keeping things as is and creating from that makes a lot of sense for many people. The price of this house with the bus included is amazing. Great job. Really lovely.

[@clairelaker6035]

I love it! I love the honesty of the mistakes made but accepted and I love the cosiness inside.... this is the best bus in ages - I love it!

Love this build. Very cool that you used reclaimed or recycled materials including things from your family. Such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story. Stay well. Safe travels.

[@robinprice6879]

I usually find that the builds that are done cheaply looks crummy. This one is just great! I’d be happy to live in this bus.

[@7Jennifer]

There's one listed locally that the outside resembles this, maybe a bit shorter, an older bus. No plumbing, no insulation and the inside looked very unfinished and what is finished looks poor. Just a half-assed job. They are asking $10k.

How could they not introduce their dog??😄 What a cozy bus. Love all the recycled wood touches, especially the doors and the driftwood handles. I appreciate it when people mention what doesn't work and why. I always say feel free to mention what name brand as well so people know what to avoid if they are doing/contemplating their own build.

awesome job on the bus thx Florb!! great as usual

[@dsruddell]

that engine is a navistar T444E also known as the 7.3L powerstroke used in ford trucks from 1994-2003. its a great engine. people love cummins but with the shorter gearing in busses a cummins would be revving really high on the freeways and burns up so much fuel once youre past 2k RPM. a v8 is happy to rev and its just as reliable. the fuel system is electronic but very reliable. i dont recommend it but you can run these on WVO and WMO easily since the fuel rails are built into the cylinder heads. it gets the fuel piping hot which helps the bio-diesel or veggy oil stay thin to atomize well.

[@gonewiththekale]

Beautiful job☀️🥰💐👏🏻👍🏻 And great tip regarding the engine 🙏🏻

🤣 I've been wanting to do this myself. The great thing is I work at a place that makes most every part for bluebird. They only assemble their own products 😂 those knock outs on the front are done after the fact. Many of the parts are scraped if they are like anything wrong like a hole off by .030 😂 that is what welders are for

LOL. You sound like me. "Bought this in a damaged box, salvaged this from my grandparent's house, bought this for $10 at auction." You'd be surprised how cheap you can do stuff. Try finding broken pallets -- some places put them out for people who will haul them away -- for short 2x4s and wood for the stove.

[@bradoliver1124]

It doesn't look like you have a damper on your chimney pipe. Adding a damper will also help whenever you are driving. You can almost close it completely when driving a ND the fire won't burn like crazy like you said. It also makes it more efficient. By adjusting your damper and controlling how much air your fire gets you can get your wood to last longer. It's a must add. It will make a tremendous difference

[@reiswaffel3393]

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

Love that they are open and honest about the things that they would change having lived in it for a while now. Call me crazy, but why would you light a fire in the wood stove if you are planning to move or drive the bus without putting the fire out?? I hardly think that is smart or even legal on any roads or highway anywhere in Canada or the US. If you have to heat the bus up in the morning and you can't use the diesel heater or wait for the fire to go down invest in a locking/sealed container meant for hot coals and ash and take out anything that is currently burning and move it to the hot can and bank any hot ashes to retain some heat until you can use the diesel heater or are parked for the day and can use the wood stove safely. Another reason why it's unsafe to drive or move the bus or whatever vehicle you're living in and heating with a wood stove is a spark or a really hot fire anand the extremely hot air coming off the chimey even with the cap on the chimey could cause those overhanging trees to ignite as you drive under them. I doubt that you would want to be responsible for causing a wildfire to start and potentially destroying the woods/forest/homes/and potentially causing loss of life to either humans or wildlife. To me that is a common sense kind of thing, but obviously not for some people and age groups. Throughout my teaching career I was constantly surprised by the lack of common sense and knowledge about the things my students were in contact with daily. Yes unfortunately the over use of the various technology, devices and the internet has taken robbed them of that and so many other things that people over 40 have developed throughout their lives. It is mind blowing how dependent the group of people under 40 are on their smartphones, the internet and other tech devices because they can not function without them.
