Diana Left ~ I Continue to Work on my Bus - Window Sills and Paint

[@chrishelms1967]

I think the windows look great from the outside like that....👍

[@bryantd6116]

Hey my friend , I just want to let you know you will have a huge issue with the paint on the windows. The paint is going to get hot and crinkle and start cracking because the paint has nothing to bond to you can get a paint specifically for glass . I was a paint specialist for a specialty paint store for many yrs and I hate to see all the hard work in putting the insulation and covering over those windows just to have all that paint wrinkle and start peeling between the glass and insulation then all of it have to be removed to repair it . I by no means am saying don't do it I'm just saying the paint will not hold up you need prep and paint specifically for glass a co named "Montana" makes a paint made for painting glass it's almost like ink as well as the prep that goes on before the paint . Check into it before you have a huge issue later I hope you see this before you get to far along. Push come to shove you can get blackout film instead of paint you can't see through it at all it's made to go on glass and completely black out the glass but don't get the vinyl cling stuff it is crap get the kind that is applied like window tint and make Shure its 100% black out . I hope this helps and saves you a bunch of issues down the road. That Rust-Oleum your using can be used on glass but not for the application your using it for it will work on bottles vases ECT but it can't take the heat your going to be getting in those windows. Take care and I can't wait to see how the bus turns out I like your ideas just don't want to see you double your work load.

[@adamgc73]

Your wasting your breathe he wont read your comment or take your advice. I would have gone with the tint.

[@hyperion1170]

I was cringing the entire time I saw that paint going on the glass, been there done that. Huge mess..

[@shutterbugamy]

I for one am enjoying your bus build even more than travel videos! I do enjoy traveling videos too, but I find the bus build interesting. I guess I'm living vicariously through you! Also, I wish you would just do what you enjoy and stop worrying about what trolls are saying. Just be you!!

[@belindasalinas]

Well said 👍

[@edcgearpocketknife]

I actually enjoyed the bus build. I’m interested to see how you do it and how it’s done.

You should choose a different bus builder in that case...that is, IF you want to know how it is done.

[@rvhome5599]

Eric we love your bus video’s, my husband and I love watching the bus come alive, don’t listen to a few nay sayers, you won’t ever please everyone, so just please yourselves!

[@GaryNichols50]

I have watched a lot of bus build videos. Do most bus builders do many things different from you? Yes, they do. Would I do some things differently? Yes, a few. Does that mean you are doing it wrong? Definitely not. I love how you are building YOUR bus. And I love how you are owning it and aren't being swayed by all the nay-sayers. I can't wait to see the finished product.

[@tomdawson9488]

Eric you're making great choices. I'm really enjoying watching your build.

[@PaulMSabol]

Wire every outlet for 20 amp (you never know what the future may bring) Your lights can be 15 amp. Just because it is a 20 amp outlet doesn't mean you will use that many amps. But if you need it, you have it.

[@MelissaNicoleVintage]

Black Chalk Board paint would have worked great on the windows and you wouldn’t have had to use 5 coats of paint. Maybe 2.5 coats. Maybe when you and Diana paint the inside of the bus try Fusion Mineral paint. It’s excellent paint and holds up really well. Plus there are a lot of great colors to choose from. Just my personal opinion, I use these paints on my furniture pieces. 😊

[@yasserchill1940]

I hope you have Emergency exit door in the back, just in case anything happen while you both stuck in the back. Greeting from Switzerand.

[@womanofsteel9276]

Eric mentioned that in an earlier video. I’m sorry, I don’t remember exactly which one, but it was early on. They will have access to that window so they can use it if they need to. Hi from Maple Valley, Washington! 🙂

[@robinkelly6484]

Hey Eric. Met you last year at the water station at LaPosa South.. Keep up your videos on the bus build. For me, this is some of your best videos. Watching you in envy. I'm too old to do a bus build which is what I'd love to do. But watching you is the next best thing. Keep it up brother, great videos.

[@steves3688]

A suggestion. Paint it in glow in the dark green. They make a clear coat that glows in the dark you put over your base paint. I did this 5 years ago. Everyone loved it, and the headlights from cars keep it glowing at night. 👍

Actually doing a bus build during the winter in Quartzsite is probably a really good idea. A lot of KZbinrs struggle for video content in the winter because y’all are parked in the desert in the same area. I know for myself that by March I am pretty sick and tired of desert videos. So by doing a bus build over the winter in quartzite you took care of the problem of video content for the winter. 👍

Are you taking Pictures of your Build on the Bus while it grows? Maybe remember where everything is , along the walls

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

me again,, the one thing i wonder is, once its done and you take it down a rough road, i worry if the bus twists a little, as they may be designed to do, will all that wood stay together. its not built like an r/v so my hubby and i are curious to see how it does, once on the road. we are hopeful it goes perfectly.

[@michaelstojanowski6971]

The reason for the low viewership on your recent trip to Texas was, you were traveling in a truck, not a RV and staying in motels.

I am relieved, that Diana didn’t actually leave you. Eric you sure had me. I was saddened.

@ it just that Eric’s past girlfriends had left. And I thought oh no!!! Please I hope not .

[@MarkDHastingsMusic]

I wonder if a layer of metallic paint would help with the coverage.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Knew she didn't leave, leave. 🤣 That black on windows looks slick/ classy. Probably need touchups here n there. All paint does. It's good to take lil breaks. Helps you have a chance to think about what you want to do for sure. 🙂👍

[@IWASHM]

That's what I would have done too! Love the blacked out windows from the outside, Paint the outside window trim black as well!?

[@markattardo]

I find really long drill / driver bits helpful when I'm up against a wall like you were with the windows. I sometimes use 2 shorter ones with some wiggle between them if it's super tight. There's also flexible bit extensions. They bend like a heavy cable and is kind of a pain to use but sometimes you need to be on a screw straight on. The windows look great!

[@ronmacknight8228]

Someone should make solar panels that fit behind the glass to black them out. Just a thought

For securing those windows how about a little U-clip of some sort? How Diana is having fun!

[@ACW3DDesigns]

As an architect, I've learned that truly exceptional design often emerges through a dynamic process. You can't predict the final result because design evolves continuously. The key is to trust your instincts, follow your path, and allow the process itself to guide you to the end result.

Especially when you’re drilling metal you should always wear safety glasses. Just my thought. I have 2300 W of tiltable panels on my 40 foot motorhome. I really use a lot of power and it does me very well with 1200 amp hours of lithium batteries. So I’m looking forward to seeing your 5000 W of solar on your bus bill.

[@19Photographer76]

Too late now but you could have etched the glass with vinegar so the paint would adhere better.

[@jimmyjohnson6313]

I'm not making no judgment... Nope, the reason why I think it's gonna be awesome... i think they do the same thing. With those old greyhome buses, I see going on the road. Could some of them have all their windows in it yet? I think it's totally cool what you're doing.

[@Lismarie33]

Catchy title to get the views

[@Sideshowbob007]

This could be a whole new career path for you Eric, How much could you sell these schoolies for completed ? Worth a thought.

[@CartersTrail]

You could have just left the windows as-is and instead, painted the back of the insulation board placed up against the windows. Keeps the glass clean just in case something needs to change in the future.

Should have just used some black vinyl tint. Easier and cheaper. That paint is eventually going to flake and peel. What fun!!!
