Detailed Tour Of A DIY Skoolie Build - Full Of Clever DIY Hacks

[@SeaCummins]

I haven’t finished the whole thing but generally they seem balanced and happy together to me. It’s good to keep talking together and taking turns talking is natural. There’s a lot of excitement to share everything.

[@FMTFXE22]

Your bus is beautiful. You can actually see it’s a labor of love and we’re sure that when you find the time you will definitely enjoy it even more and be happy to did it the way you did because it’s an expression of both of you. It’s just awesome.

[@karenjohnson4433]

Smart people in this bus, running all the electrical behind those 1x10 boards! I’ve always thought, people that run the electrical under the ceiling boards are going to have a hard time fixing things if something goes wrong.

[@caseylewis9575]

Get the baby latches for the fridge! They make them for things like toilet lids and fridges, works awesome!

[@sheilaobrien7156]

That’s an amazing build out you two have accomplished so much. Congratulations & regards to your well-behaved pups. Safe journeying and plans.

[@theresasutton6311]

Home is beautiful. And the counters are absolutely gorgeous honestly. You decor is so cohesive. Enjoy your life together. Safe travels

[@gypsymomma3470]

Hands down the most beautiful counters I've seen by far, great job! ✌

[@stacymoore4935]

I know you’ve gotten flak in the past for these longer videos, but they are so helpful-just to hear the reasoning behind people’s decisions and about the pitfalls they encountered along the way. Much appreciated. Lovely, airy build. Let me guess-Otis is the drooler...

[@michelebegor4191]

6 feet tall and over is not short or small! Love your baby! Great job.

[@ilovemeidastouch]

You are a good team. Nicely done. Hubby sounds like he can do it all and wife very clever

[@peggychapman7835]

Congratulations on your adventures with your gorgeous home and beautiful lady you both did an incredible job on design and decorating Many blessings your awesome family your precious pups

[@ryanh5370]

Great video and great couple. Thanks for the share. Excellent Bus Build

[@createart2iowa]

You did a great build! It's roomy and attractive. Love your pups! Add a curtain with no "puff" to your pantry opening to hide the contents.

[@carolannrompca5495]

That was an enjoyable use of my time,you seem to have thought of everything,Stay safe and have a great time on the road

[@SaulGone613]

Excellent. That counter epoxy is a win. I wonder if the mini-swamp cooler is contributing to the ceiling warp. Tiny houses & moisture...

[@littlemisssunshine2931]

That was my first thought too when they mentioned filling it with a gallon of water. All that water has to end up somewhere.

[@Timmermon63]

The pine needs to be sealed with a finish

[@skylarbrooks4524]

brains, brawn & beauty. it's all there in your whole family of humans, dogs & bus! good job!

[@eniswebster6122]

Guys you'll did a really nice home on wheels one of the best I've seen ,be safe and God bless you'll .👍🙏🙏❤

[@pizzaqueen5783]

lovely couple, i especially enjoyed the stories of mishap that the girl was explaining, quite funny!! also really helpful

[@sheridesmarais796]

Beautiful counter tops and breakfast bar! like white cabinets. Nice sofa sectional. nice, clean look. Like ceiling wood. Pretty bath room. Love cute bathroom vanity 😘. Perfect pantry, closet area. Pretty bed comforter. Nice top deck! Love everything! Great job guys!!!

[@Kimberley_Black_White_TV]

I know this is a couple of years old, but I would suggest getting another 50 gallon water tank since they mentioned they had extra garage space. Or whatever will fit. But I LOVE this bus. Nice job "Two Pups & Us!"

[@R1981L]

What a cute little family, I loved this video and I'm very jealous

[@bobbidipasquale9043]

The two of you are adorable. Cute build. Wish you all the best in your travels.

[@debragreen9778]

I absolutely love this bus. You make it seem effortless! A lot of thought went into it. I love the vanity area. I agree at one point u may need a covering for clothes n pantry. I think white shutters would be perfect n "effortless " to install! Well at least to open n close. God bless u on your travels!

[@antoinettelashelle5093]

Love the cedar wood shower and having bathroom where the emergency exit is.....great idea

[@debralazaro5644]

Ty u for the tour all u guy's need is child locks on the fridge they work well beautiful build good luck on ur journey

[@adriennetynes4064]

Very good job on this bus, thank you for sharing.

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

_On those diesel air heater, if you have the LCD controller you can set up the two timers within it, super simple to set the time. Make sure you throw it on high, like once a month for about 5 minutes to help with carbon build-up if you that quick little tip it should last for a long time, and maintenance-free._

[@LoveDogs___3]

I saw on another video that you have to run them on high all the time to avoid carbon build up

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

Shandele Broyles _No, is not true! Because it jumps up back the initial start up with the bringing glow plug up to burn off excess fuel that’s with inside the chamber. But it good once a month to run it on high, it help to stay clean, it’s just maintenance if your would like to keep it healthy and clean. During winter and colder months._

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

A quick side-note. You only have to run it on high for about three minutes when you do that, then put it back down to your normal settings

[@sailorgirl2017]

We have a similar fridge/freezer on our sailboat. Husband made some latches out of aluminium attached to the side, that swing over a set screw in the edge of the doors. They have never opened yet. For your pantry, try hanging a drape in front.

[@herdagriffin1220]

Love the walking space in the bedroom.your bus is great.really has that home look.really space and airy.

[@beebuffalo1582]

I’m here watching this bus tour 2022 and you both have great design decor. Continue to enjoy great travels.🏡👏🏻👏🏻🏡.

[@sherryyarger3753]

I love the look of your counter tops! People use a type of baby lock for those. Seems like my mom and dad had a nail on a chain they used to use for their fridge. You could hang some fabric to cover your ppantry, or make a little framme with caning or a thin metal design in it. Love the color of your duvet. I love the way you did your safa with slip covers for easy washing. Very nice home!!

[@alvaradacosta5830]

That bathroom is really nice... they just need to add a step so that it's easier to get up on the toilet. Very nice build

[@angieparker4292]

Buy refrigerator locks for toddlers in the baby section at walmart!

[@vickiburt2676]

It really is a fast solvable fix up, no sweat!

[@karendavis7880]

So much to love here...those countertops are gorgeous...and the placement of the bathroom sink--I have not seen anything like that. The only thing I would do differently is paint the front door yellow to match the other yellow on the exterior...that would look sharp. But that's a personal preference thing. Really enjoyed this video...thanks for sharing and all the best to you both.

[@betsybee1581]

Really nice bus. Rare to see a washer/dryer combo, but that would be a must have for me too! Enjoyed the video.

[@s.reneealsandor351]

I love your tiny home....You and your wife make a good team

[@cathyshaffer1537]

Love your decor & the counters are beautiful!😊

[@danitapenn-green2347]

This build is very well planned. I love everything but especially the bathroom.

[@ediekoller1144]

Love your skoolie bus..and the pups too:) Happy Traveling.

[@tammycruz8189]

Love the countertop and your bus . Safe Travels Always God Bless Y'all 🙏

[@valeriebaxter2354]

You area lovely couple and I love your bus and your two chilled pups too, safe travels.

[@cheddar2848]

Beautiful bus with beautiful countertops, very well done.

[@littlemisssunshine2931]

Love that your worktops can be used to cut on and have hot pans put on them, eliminates the need for chopping boards and if they are plywood they must be lighter than regular worktops. Thanks for sharing. PS: Otis and Ellie are gorgeous.

[@truthhunter3538]

Thank You for showing us the Schoolie wonderful Job!

[@davidvack4382]

I think you did a really cool job! and remember nothing is perfect. And you are using green energy! I think you did a great job!

[@petmom74]

Cute family. Beautiful skoolie! The furkids are super mellow in this video for being so young! LOL

[@carolynfairley8550]

Both of you have a beautiful home!

[@katieaubuchon9651]

Beautiful bus you both have made love it thank you for sharing be safe and careful

[@robertahill7400]

I love the shape of the ceiling. I would also remove the fire place and do a love seat lounger. Have your TV mounted. Or even the dogs own bed. My dog sleeps where ever & usually its right by me. I love your bus. 👍 Kudos guys ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I give it 4 stars.

[@hutoxipatel3610]

A nice clean built up. V cute couple. God bless.

[@gspence517]

Team stone coat, you got this, and you did, nice job😉

[@terrimatz7463]

I really like your bathroom and especially your vanity area.it you could just put a curtain over your pantry. I lived in a mobile home for a while and I used curtains on all of my closets. Cheaper, colorful and you can see everything in your closets with no doors in the way!!

[@janiceobembe1076]

Very nice,blessing on your years ahead with lots of love,your bus is very nice and love the color and decor!

[@teresaray6033]

Your home is beautiful. Very well thought out.

[@Al8101]

Lots of countertop space! Perfect!

[@brownbunny2513]

Beautiful family, I loves the dogs.(and I am a cat person)😂🤣 The bus and the build are lovely, great tour.. Enjoy your life, and freedom..💜

[@briandavis9975]

A shower rod placed vertical in front of the fridge doors works great because it's spring loaded and ajustable worked for me for years when driving.

[@tomaustin4526]

Awesome Skoolie guys. Love all the counter space and looks very open and roomy ❤️😎👍😊🚌🌎🎶 thanks for sharing and safe travels

[@marywalls1166]

Very good explanations about your build. I love the countertops! Very economical !

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Wow very nice build love the counter tops

[@extcbyemily]

Really nice bus! Absolutely love those countertops, they're gorgeous!

[@robertwidby2205]

Love your motor home bus. Could you maybe pull the water heater out and wrap the three sides that tuck in with an insulating blanket?

[@deanhueter2866]

For a temp fix, screw a couple of eyehooks into the wallboard and then bungee cord from the frig/freezer doors?

[@dazzlingextremes389]

So, since I've had my insta-pot and Ninja foodie air-fryer/oven I haven't TOUCHED my gas oven. And dude.... LET YOUR WOMAN TALK! Yall have done a great job but, it's rude to interrupt.... she may not do it like you do, but, she CAN do it. Besides, it's super cool to hear what both of you enjoy or don't enjoy. Great job, overall, guys!! Love it! And LOVE your sink!!!

[@parrottfeatherseyes7033]

Cutest couple. Y'all better guard your hearts

[@guatemex68]

Beautiful bus guys, good luck in your journal and blessing years to come for you both 🙏🙌

[@AndiDawsonVO]

Seriously guys, the stick on child locks for fridges are perfect for keeping that Avanti closed when travelling 👌🏻

[@heatice77]

Thanks for sharing, great job, I have a Pitt also named Spike...such a baby, Pitts are so misunderstood by folks out there.

[@manny-perez]

I think you guys did a beautiful job on your build, loved the tour!

[@velvetbrewer1540]

Congratulations on your bus you did a fabulous job. You could put a tension rod and curtains to cover your closet and pantry.Wish the camera person showed your kitchen counter so we could see the top better wanted to see the sparkling top.Happy trails to you both .

[@dreams..forlove1402]

Fantastic guys.souper home.and you and your dog so sweet.

[@111-w9d7y]

Soup is a meal. But this is a super build.

[@sherylrichards5858]

One of the nicest buses I've seen

[@RiverinaRockfest]

Great video I’m about to embark on a bus adventure with my son! Love you set up and ideas

[@staceyater8761]

I love the cedar planks that you used for the shower so I went to Lowe's and checked them out. If you got what I looked at it says that it's only for dry conditions. I would be careful about mold. That is something that you don't even want to get started in your home.

[@catgotyourtongue8279]

Maybe a little tension rod and fabric for pantry??!!!

[@annettemills3840]

Child locks work great on the frig, cabinets and drawers.

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Stunning lovely beautiful

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

great video. However, you need to install brake lights on that extended bumper. In many states, blocked or obstructed brake lights is a big fine.

[@FaeRose]

Pretty sure that rectangle in the center on the bumper he did has a break light on it. Also bus's have break lights top middle and bottom on the back so he still has break lights.

[@julietagarner7047]

BEAUTIFUL

[@tanesihaherisejohnson6288]

i like the counter tops awesome job.

[@brooklyngraham4288]

Nice build out , awesome pups !

[@swetha2244]

Nice build, really got everything you need to be on the road.. 😊

[@warrthogg1758]

Awesome job on your skoolie ! Two cup hooks and a bungie will keep a fridge doors closed. Not so elegant but effective . Great vid.

[@FrankiesFancy]

So what do you do for heat when you're out somewhere that there is no shore power and it's freezing cold? Or do you just stay at a shore power site when its cold? Love that swamp cooler though. I didn't know they made those anymore. I grew up on those...and the new ones look way better than the old huge ones that you had to sit in two dining chairs lol. I watched stone coat counter top makers too! They are invaluable!! I'm going to do my bathroom "toilet bench" using their techniques! And at least you got the cabinets from Home Depot instead of Ikea. These are going to last way longer!As far as the fridge goes, I'm pretty sure they make locks for it that you can buy but, when all else fails, there are bungee cord and ratchet straps ;) I love your bathroom except for the natures head. I've run the gamut of toilet ideas and that was one of the worst for me. I spent almost $1300 for it only to discover that I was going to have to almost completely disassemble it to clean out the fecal tank and I had to empty the urine bottle almost every day or two. I can't lift the waste container on a cassette toilet as its too heavy so I go with the peat moss and wood shavings and biodegradable baggies. No smell, no heavy bag to lift and get rid of and, unlike the natures head, if I have to urinate and defecate at the same time, I don't have to painfully hold one in until I'm finished with the first. I don't know how people use those things. For me, it was a literal torture chamber. And to know that I am carrying around a container of my own waste makes my stomach churn. I don't know how you don't smell yours unless you don't spend a lot of time in really hot environments. It was awful when I spent a couple of weeks in the desert. I took mine out after a couple of weeks, bleached it down and sold it for $700. Got half my money back so I was at least happy with that. Cedar is a brilliant idea for the shower/toilet area. And that's a nice sized shower! And I absolutely love how you have your bathroom sink around the corner. It doesn't have to be IN the bathroom. A lot of people don't even have bathroom sinks because they feel its unnecessary to have two sinks but I can't stand the thought of wiping my bottom then touching my kitchen sink to wash my hands. To me, that is exceptionally gross! But I would have to have a kiddie stool for that toilet...that's a little high.Just one thing though...why do you have both a hair straightener and a curling iron? You either have straight hair that you curl or curly hair that you straighten. Must be my age...I can't grasp that reasoning. Enlighten me, please...or I'm going to have to go to the internet to find out why to have both lol. And never mind about the fireplace question lol you just showed me your heater. So why keep the big clunky thing up front? I've been wanting to get a washer/dryer combo unit but everyone says it takes hours and hours to do a single load and I'm worried about energy usage. Don't want to be caught in the dark lol. 9 gallons is great compared to the regular small washer unit that supposedly takes 25 gals. But for right now, I use one of those small washing units that you peddle with your feet then hanging clothes up. In the hot dry environment of the desert, they dry quickly. But I'd love to get some kind of machine that doesn't eat up my water or power. Bus life just seems like its mostly for young people, like in the pioneer days who have to rough it and not for an older person like me. But overall, I like your bus. Toilet and bed is too high but I'm not using them. For younger people with the physical strength and agility to climb.And I love the door on the bus! The only thing I would worry about, being an old lady traveling alone, are the glass panels right next to the door handle/lock. But I definitely want a regular door in place of the folding doors. They always worry me. I guess I could do it like you but have a steel sheet placed over the lower windows on the inside.

[@wayneblackman6407]

Comfortable and neat.

[@cattsmahal1005]

It’s not complete without a dog. “We have two”. It’s completely beautiful! 🤗

[@0hPhuc]

Cute couple. Nice bus.

[@herefishyfishy6907]

A curtain rod with cute curtain over the pantry would be perfect!

[@lindaward3156]

l suggest using those flat hangers - they really work and free up a surprising amount of space. l love the little sink setup and the emergency door use, very clever! Btw, l recently saw a vid about a window treatment that doesn't change the look of the glass but does a really great job protecting it from getting smashed in. it's like a film of different strengths, it was demonstrated with impressive results. It was titled *l think) 12 ways to secure your van? camper? l was impressed.

[@terryjones9167]

great looking build

[@carlaj38]

Great Skoolie build.

[@spiritflower6640]

I bet you can find a way to secure things like your refrigerator doors- like even a piece of tape in the meantime -couple pieces of tape- or velcro straps, etc--- I bet you can come up with something pretty easily -good luck!thank you for sharing! very cool 😊

[@DR-bp1yu]

I love that even though it has a lot of stained wood in the interior, it manages to look light, bright and spacious.

[@carolinegeoghegan3074]

I love the tiny house

[@ddk0076]

You guys did a great job, learn as you go you have plenty of time, nice build, keep an eye on the hot spots, be careful happy travels...love the kitchen counter tops awesome...the dogs are beautiful...love the front door!!

[@yousocrazy8]

A lot on van life and skoolies folks used gyms for showers. I wonder how they are navigating this during Covid because a lot of gyms had to close in some states.

[@robertwidby2205]

How about a thin pull down louvered shade to cover the storage area in the hallway?

[@lynnescaddan8919]

This is a nice home.

[@shirleythomas3416]

I love your bus ❤

[@romanaantonaccisoto2337]

Awesome Bus🙌🙌
