Cutting Window Openings | Bus Conversion pt. 20 | The Bus Life

[@jimdavis8804]

Back in the 80ies. I was a bus Pastor. Worked on many a bus. Painted the red and named them road runner. We have many folks in our city that we introduced to the Lord who are now pastor Pastors wives and missionaries. Many thank us today for picking them up and discipling them. A 18 year old came to my house at two AM and announced he wanted to get saved. Now pastors a Local Church and has five Missionary children. I’m 74 now and am a nursing-home parrot for 28 Years now. We teach Hebrew Roots. Blessed by you and your Family.

Our 7 year old daughter loves your videos and wanted us to share with you her thoughts. She says, "I love your videos and I look up to your family. Your bus is going to be great. I love all the great things you are doing with the buses." As for our family we are enjoying watching each part of your life, so we thank you for sharing and inspiring us all to be free in a home on wheels. Thanks again for sharing.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Big Hello to you and your family from the Good family! Thanks for sharing your thought. We are very happy to hear you are enjoying our journeys.

Ashton is such a good helper; it's encouraging to see his participation. You spray foaming in the intense heat reminded me of some of the work I've been doing lately - kneeling in front of a 75,000 BTU torpedo heater operating at 110°F to scrape dried hardened grease off a cold cement basement floor with a 4" hand held floor scraper.

I like seeing the kids helping. I noticed they only eat fruit as snacks, or something they cook themselves. I applaud you for that. So much money is wasted on rubbish food. My kids were all brought up on fruit and vegetables as snacks. They made their own morning tea for school, mini muffins or pikelets. Their friends were so jealous, the first thing they wanted to do when they came over was to cook! Most of their parents wouldn't allow them to cook! I started mine at age 3! I did the oven until age 8. They are all adults now and all good cooks, very independent and I have done my best to make sure they have all the life skills they need to succeed. I can see that you have gone even further, your kids are all going to be contractors too! Great parenting! You are meant to have a large family, you excell at parenting.

[@chadi7173]

Really enjoying watching this come along. Our older kids are finishing school and off to college in a few years but we have younger kids who we just don't really think need to be in the (Florida or anywhere) school system any more. Have been thinking the past few years about doing something like this so thanks for showing how it's done. Great to see all the family help, not just mom and dad.

[@rose8662]

I'm so glad for another video! I love seeing how the baby is growing, seeing how you're all working and playing together, and the progress on the bus. I'm impressed with the combination of how much you all already know and how you both so easily figure out new things. It is inspirational for me! God bless!

[@LifeisaJoy]

We've been watching you guys for about a year-and-a-half. You were an inspiration for us to build our bus. We've been living in our bus for about 4 months now. Thank you for all your wonderful videos, we love your family, we love that you love Jesus. We've done about a hundred videos on our bus and have enjoyed it very much. Thanks again for the inspiration. Jim and Deb of life is a joy Channel.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Awesome guys! We have seen some of your videos. Blessings!

[@rebeccapettifer6553]

I cant wait for each new video. Looks great and I am amazed at how talented you and your whole family are in so many areas. Your son helping you will be memories he will cherish all his life. My grandpa let me help him build a house when I was 10 (55 years ago) and I still remember all of it and what an amazing loving Gramps I had. Blessings to you and your whole family.

[@marybaker5837]

This is sturdier than Class A motorhomes are. Great build.

[@Linda_Mayoh]

Love how every thing is coming together.

[@nataliejones1385]

Wow. It's really looking amazing! I'm loving watching each process, and it's great to see how much the kids are helping out. Look forward to the next instalment. 😊

[@hylandricers8013]

Bus looks way better now.

[@michaelfontesjr2068]

You guys are killing it! Great build, great video, and great drone shots!

[@bitworkx6028]

Nice job all around (window cut outs, spray foam, involving the whole family...)

[@jonb6903]

Can't wait to get our blueprints and bus to get Rollin on ours

[@leedoddridge4429]

Outstanding job! And kudos to your wife and family!!

[@tigerspook1]

A nice air-brush painting on those lovely straight side panels, would look astounding,...xxx love to all, from Devon UK

[@TheBusLifeShow]

That’s the plan!!!

[@tigerspook1]

Look forward to seeing that.. xx

[@carlstout4546]

it is better then great !! GREAT FAMILY praise god !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@goggindj]

Looking good. Can’t wait to see it finished.

[@UberAdventure]

I'm starting to see the vision and I can't wait to see it finished

[@KCherieSoaps]

Love the windows that you are going to be installing. They are really going to look nice. I like how when you were cutting the openings you could tell how it just let so much natural light into the bus. I was wondering about what color the new bus is going to be - then you said it was a secret for now. Amazing transformation with this bus! Julie is really beginning to show now! So excited for the addition to your family. My daughter is due "any moment" - babies are such a blessing! Take care!

[@alyciabolduc2113]

Your doing amazing. So much has been done.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Front door & the rear window is also fire escape.

[@1banos]

What an amazing experience it has been watching you. I'm blessed to have found your channel....

[@JahRootsRadio]

I love how the bus is coming along!😀

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Thanks!

[@whoisonlypain4206]

The best family i ever watched

[@phillipmccormick1508]

[@kcmackie77]

Very awesome that your teaching cursive writing.

[@jacksonking2546]

I still love this channel

[@fastjp72]

Thumbs UP!

[@GlennAFord]

Your bus is really looking good; you learned a lot from the Good News Bus. I'm proud of the work your family is doing.

[@marshasadler2786]

Fantastic. I love ❤️ you guys and such an adorable family. Great job mom and dad

[@jolynnschlegel9501]

Love it!! You guys are doing awesome and its really starting to take shape...can't wait to see it painted! :)

[@ozarkbound]

Great job! I really like those windows. I think you'll be really happy with that choice.

[@barretthageman3350]

Just found you, been binge watching the conversion. You are a family of bosses! Truly blessed. Sadly have seen the end so I know how it turns out :) God Bless your travels.

[@norriscoleman3141]

great progress. The blackout windows will give the bus the Motorcoach Style.

[@cristinathiessen298]

Great Job to you and your whole Family!!!!!😇😍🤣

[@locomotive3845]

Before you paint contact the neighbors for permission to cover their cars. Over spray can be very expensive. I know of a lady in Tampa Florida that worked for GULF Oil when her car suffered from over spray from several hundred feet away. I suppose the painter didn't care that it was a windy day. Good luck

[@judyflynn8393]

Spectacular!!! 🌞

[@kimosabbe50]

Really nice job, looks great!

[@fantasticgoodiestv1494]

Nice job... I like the progress. All the way from Kenya.

[@nowhereman8422]

Absolutely awesome looking very good

[@TruckerErikProductions]

Patiently waiting for a new one God bless you all

[@TheBusLifeShow]

😁 thanks for being patient. It’s been difficult juggling working on the bus, the planing, getting supplies, raising the family, school, filming and editing. But we are having fun doing it.

[@ccsochp1]

Love this channel.

[@markwinder.]

Another great family effort, the bus is coming along nicely.... Well I thought this vlog I will big-up Shane as he is doing a tremendous job on the bus build developing some impressive skills along the way.. BUT once again to the rescue came Julie on the window corner cutting crisis... Shane I'm rooting for you on the next episode, Safe travels and best wishes from the UK.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

😜

[@UhStormy]

Good job loving it

[@glenncoon6639]

Coming along nicely. I am enjoying the videos

[@divhandyman]

Looks good nice job!!

[@josephallen4569]

Would love to have your Old Bus.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

It will be for sale...😉

[@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography]

The bus is really looking great! Love the family team work.😉👍

[@veraopdebeek9183]

Wonderful!!! And what a good idea to paint the bus before you put the windows in. We will definitely do that too. I love your videos!

[@Superduty_59]

I can't get enough of you videos! Awesome content! Awesome editing! Awesome family! Love it!

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Thanks so much!

[@chashastings6861]

Looks great .

[@nishantgupta7017]

love from india !👌

[@evah787]

God Bless India.......

[@IndigoAnuM]

The bus looks outstanding. I Love the thought process behind the design. I should be documenting my MC9 Build. You guys are inspiring. Thank you for all the videos. Cheers!

[@Johnitacc]

Ahhh-mazing!💕

[@willymags123]

good job

[@gerritvrijburg6110]

Great project, great family... i wíl follow your blogs... greats from Holland..

[@veraopdebeek9183]

Gerrit Vrijburg ben je ook aan een busproject bezig? Wij zijn er net aan begonnen in België.

[@gerritvrijburg6110]

Vera Op de Beek Nee dat niet... maar ik volg wel veel... veel succes met de bouw

[@raymondnoya5653]

Nice job

[@Isabelle-cn9ur]

hi from belgium! love to watch your nice bus conversion (just I would have add little windows or hublots to the bunk beds!)

[@donaldmccombs5566]

That looks amazing I can't wait to see the paint. I am making chassis storage for ours.

[@anthonymoreno1578]

Awesome blessing to you all

[@rayrowe2664]

LOOKING GOOD !!

[@Babygrumplin55]

Is Isaiah doing the filming, great camera work, very talented young man.

[@garrystacey7018]

Great job keep up the good work 👍 from the UK 🇬🇧

[@mikeknutson415]

Wow really coming along great true professional craftsmanship.. I'm impressed... as usual here's some suggestions have you ever use sikaflex products... sikaflex is used I believe primarily for marine use I've used did it for years it is really incredible more expensive than silicone ...silicone thumbs down in my opinion... sikaflex Marine last virtually forever stays flexible forever underwater, Out of Water, whatever... usually it is paintable it will move with the flexibility of the bus to seal up your windows or whatever.... in my opinion the best of the best highly suggest you use it you will not be sorry... and here's one from Johnny as we were watching at the very end your drone shot shooting the bus Johnny suggested flying the Drone Through the Windows through the bus and I said that would really make for some excellent shots so that's Johnny suggestion could be interesting.... let us know what you think... and Julie you are truly glowing

[@flamesvarietystore1439]

Good going keep it up

[@jessesmith1181]

If you use single stage paint from tractor supply I was told by a friend you can add hardener and it will last longer also I seem to remember someone mentioning something about a uv protector that you could add to single stage paint also. Might be worth looking into if it can add many years to your paint job with only a little additional money.

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

At that temperature it should really foam. You have a lot of good helpers. All those windows are going to be great. I think it does look good. Painting before you install the windows is a great idea. Glenn Lever

[@emananwar3082]

i'm going to take the flower to momy

[@johnarmstead5548]

💖

[@armyneallen1835]

Good

[@quetheplug9856]

I just star watching your videos and I had to subscribe good work , awesome

[@Dee-ur9zq]

Nice video! Any ideas about what you are going to do with the left over sheet metal from the window cuts? May be magnetic memo board or a spice rack would be awesome!

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Some of it will still be used for covering the roof vent openings.

[@technofugit8391]

Another great video, what a beautiful family! I was wondering when you are hoping to finish the conversion ? Do you have a timetable or are you just going along at your own pace and doing it when you feel like it Thanks I look forward to your next video God bless

[@TheBusLifeShow]

We are hoping to be finished the conversion by April.

[@46lfries]

Hit the button 😁

[@demetriuscarr9563]

Really nice work bro how much did the bus set u back

[@46lfries]

Shane check out single stage paint at Tractor Supply this is what we used on the racecar

[@resulzor8265]

So far you did great! I respect your self sufficient working style. I wonder why didn't you connect those windows at the back?There should be a reason for that having seperated 2 windows each side against having one big united.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

We have two separate windows in the back section of the bus for several reasons. We like how it looks, there is structural supports between the two windows, and we were limited by the window size options.

[@resulzor8265]

I got it.Thx.

[@ShowMeBus]

Love your videos! Have been watching for about a year and my wife and I just bought our first bus! Going to pick it up this weekend! You have been an inspiration and help to watch! Keep it up! Dont remembre if you talked about it or not but the windows you put in your bedroom, what size are they?

[@mikeventi637]

Beautiful windows are they single or double pane insulated?

[@TheBusLifeShow]

All but the two, large front windows are dual pane!!!

[@markjones8704]

Love the videos guys, not sure how delayed the videos are, but are you still happy with the spray foam brand you selected.?

[@TheBusLifeShow]

It seems to work well.

[@emmaklijn]

Great video's and great bus! But I was wandering how long your new bus is?

[@TheBusLifeShow]

38’

[@eileenmurphy4985]

What tool did u use to trim and smooth the excess spray foam insulation?

[@jonettabates8638]

The window cut outs look great. Why did yall opt out to not do the windows for the bunk beds?

[@TheBusLifeShow]

We just could not find windows that would work there. They will have a sky light of sorts in their room.

[@mja130]

great video BUT the driver side window what happen wait are you going to use camera for mirror

[@TheBusLifeShow]

We just have not got the window yet. 😉

[@Maggie-eo3rd]

do you have a fire escape plan?

[@dionpaschini5262]

What was the cost to insulate your bus with this product I heard it quite pricey ? Looks great 😊

[@TheBusLifeShow]

I ordered 2-600 sq ft packs and it was $1200.

[@dionpaschini5262]

The Bus Life Thanks for info on installation that's not bad and well worth it. Your bus looks very nice was just watching your metal fab great job. You make it look doable 😊

[@lilymanning8392]

Where did they get the bus

[@harleyarcher6732]

If you want to cool your bus in the hot summer sun / Try Henry's Tropical paint for your roof . Check out the site see what you think

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Is the old bus insulated in the roof?

[@TheBusLifeShow]

It is but with factory insulation.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

The Bus Life ahh I see, so the spray foam will be better than the factory insulation

[@winweswright]

Where did you get your windows from

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Here: www.tristatesurplusllc.com Calling them will get better results than their website.

[@anitasatterlee732]

You missed the driver's window

[@ghgmusic5970]

Do you homeschool your kids?

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Yes!
