I honestly never heard of "Breakfast Soup"... for a quick second until I saw you make it (Looks yummy), all I could think was that joke about questioning whether cereal is a soup or not.

[@pixiebusadventures936]

Same I've never heard of it

[@EmmaBuildsBirbie]

I hadn't either, I decided it was a thing that should exist and sought out some recipes a few months back 😊

[@pixiebusadventures936]

@@EmmaBuildsBirbie I think I'll try it. What recipe did you use? I'm all for convince of getting your healthy food in.

@@EmmaBuildsBirbie oh my gosh awesome I found myself Googleing breakfast soups this morning and didn't see anything like yours. Thanks

[@jeffreythomas9106]

Awesome Emma back with another great video about birbie. Hope everything is going well with you 🙏 and hope you enjoy your bus. It looks really good. You are doing a great job with building your own house in your bus 💛⚘️💛

[@jjryansea]

It’s good to hear you compliment yourself. Don’t apologize. Your self criticism is far more frequent. Revel in your successes. Your flooring is the same we recently chose for our entire first floor. You make the right choice. ( congratulating both of us!👏🏻

[@darkfactory8082]

Progress achieved. Emma, you're nailing it closer and closer to success. Keep going, sometimes when the situation goes frustrating, stop, relax, think of a plan B to eliminate the problem that affects you. Solution gathering protocol is a must, every single time something doesn't go according to plan. You're getitin' it although you may not realize. =)

[@erichuggins09]

Honestly, you are the BOMB DIGGITY. ENJOY EMMA.

[@GHBTPUSY]

WOW ! it's coming together nicely ! Hey see if your engine cover, sound deadener / insulator is wore out ? if so get you some Dynamat or another good brand.. there's products out there that will cut the engine noise in half or more.. just use layer's of the dynomat.etc

[@debrafelix4419]

Birbie is looking good 😉 the flooring is nice good choice till the next one be blessed always 🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰🤗🙏

[@danielwood2134]

It really is starting to look like a home ,congratulations,I think you got this ❤️

[@AB-C1]

YES!! Was just about to look and see if you'd uploaded yet!!! Great video!! You did so well! You've been having some trips away/holidays enjoying the weather then, judging by your tan!! 😉😎 Regards those 2x4s, you could have just partly drilled in a couple of screws along the inside temporarily to stop the 2x4 flexing and you would have been good to go! (Instead of having to remove the lot! 🙄🤦🏻) Having said that it came out BRILLIANTLY! And the fact you had NO waste over is a testament to your skills! REALLY loved watching you gain confidence skills and abilities on this build! I'm really looking forward to seeing your travels after you've finished or just before whichever comes first! Lol.. Nice one Beautiful lady! (Well done!)👍 Cheers from London England 😉😁❤️😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@JustAskingAndCurios]

Wow, nice flooring job! It's REALLY coming along. You can almost see the finished conversion.

[@GiMom19]

Emma the floor is absolutely beautiful! Awesome choice and good job with the instal 🥰

[@jayu724]

Omg Emma!, besides your Carpentry skills, you're a chef!..is there a recepie for that soup?..,you're not singing often enough...I love it when you sing!.. Is there a way to send u something.. .GREAT JOB!👍🙂⚘

Looking good. Can't wait for the episode when you install satellite internet.

[@Baka_Oppai]

I only clicked because of the foot content in the thumb but apparently its not in the video :(*

[@larswennskog5239]

Hi Emma! The floor looks really nice, great work done. You must be real proud of your self about all the work you done so far.👍🙂❤️

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Love your choice of flooring and great job on laying it. Things are moving forward at a great pace now.

[@JB-dz1zc]

Face, hair, and clothing, it's called man glitter! It's another badge you have earned! Use a blank switch cover, drill a hole the right size and screw it to the wall! You're getting close, Emma. I'm excited for you and your first outing! It all looks great! 😊 👌 🚃 👍 😉

[@iamdooley66]

Hahahaha. A bus driving by, visible in Berbie’s side mirror.

[@TheBlake27]

It's looking great Emma, Proud of you! Hope insurance pans out!

[@jasonjones5213]

The flooring looks great.I love how you eventually figure things out.

[@purge9006]

I am from Africa, Uganda I jst love your bus building . Its really a great job

[@francoisg1393]

The shoelaces! I actually changed the way I tied my shoes, maybe ten years ago. When you do the over/under thingy, before doing the loops, just change which lace you put over or under. It's like one part of the knot slides into the other, instead of against the other, and that's why they always come loose. Since I changed that part, my shoelaces never untie. I feel like I should have learned that 20 years earlier... So much time lost to tying shoes, when I could have been walking... I hope your insurance company isn't following your channel... Not that I think it shouldn't be covered as an RV. It's just that you admitting you're trying to fool them is just something that could attract the pettiness of someone who works there... Good luck! You're very lovely and quite resourceful! Love your videos

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Emma, you are not my daughter, but am so proud of you young lady, you are building your home all by yourself, mistakes and all. I don't know how you do it, but you are doing it. Awesome. Can't wait til it's all finished.

[@EmmaBuildsBirbie]

Thank you so much!

[@norm5785]

Well done, looks good, great job of deduction. Thank you for sharing your awesome floor project with us today from Henrico County Virginia

[@trippontwowheels]

Go Birbie go!!

[@MelissaMalzahn]

I love the flooring. Wait to get the rest of the walls done and your couches and decide what to do w your ceiling. You may want to stain it darker or paint it. I hope you get your insurance changed. Looks really good.

[@AlienFing]

Nice job Emma, Birbie is really beginning to look good. You've had your challenges along the way but look how much you've accomplished, really impressive. All the best, Andi, UK

[@TheTinyPowerhouse6163]

did you fire a lazer beam into your food?🤣

[@stevengregory8686]

Emma, you rock girl.......I'm loving your work and personality. BTW, your music is COOL also!!!!

[@taco-lover]

Wow, your floor is beautiful!

[@HOODS]

Breakfast soup?! interesting. I probably messed up when I put flooring wall to wall front to back. Shesh that was expensive 😳 but it was faster than cutting around everything. Replacing it... yah right never gonna happen. Sadly the build isn't done yet and its already scuffed. Oh well. I'll probably eventually put down rugs. Yet again another great video.

[@toddpadua8844]

looking beautiful today....wow your almost 30.....lol was think much younger........

[@dnonya5208]

New subscriber here 😁 I've watched ALL your videos from day one!!! Waiting for the next one!!! Your bus is turning out beautiful...love the colors. Be proud of your wonderful work!!💜🥰

[@justwastingmytime852]

OMG!! Here come Birbie!!!! Girl, She is almost there!!! So happy for both of you!!!!

[@jameswatson521]

Emma you look amazing I can’t wait to see your bus finished it looks great so far girl keep up the great work on it an breakfast soup is really yummy

[@RebaKennedy]

Well, heck, I LIKE "quicklier." Gonna start using it. Reminds me of Lewis Carroll. And don't those floors look great!!! Seriously. I love the color for itself but also wondering if you chose it because it will likely hide dust and dirt when you're out in the wilderness boondocking somewhere? Very smart. As always, thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos, Emma -- so appreciated!!!

[@robertquinn9490]

Emma, I've been watching since the start. You are a wonderful woman and it's been a pleasure to watch you move forward through this project. I'm a boomer, and I want to comment on your choice of music. I'm also a musician. I find a lot of contemporary music doesn't move me much, But I REALLY enjoy the music you use during your episodes. You have great taste! I'd love to have mix tapes and playlists from you. You give me faith in new music. A bit oblique, but thanks!

[@jamescoffman8096]

Well done! Btw, the best thing about being an adult is your Mom not around to tell you ya can't have a Family-sized box of Cap'n Crunch for dinner. lol. Consider researching on YT converting your door to a one-piece. A lot of interesting ideas there. Great job!

[@willywonka4139]

"I just went to Wendy's with chunks of vinyl all over my face," Oh the humanity! 😉 Careful, your carpentry skills have improved to the point it may look like a professional did it. 🤗

[@fxman2011]

I find it frustrating when your frustrated and I want to send a message saying 'Try this way...' Then I realize that it's a prerecorded video and yuo've figured it out, just keep watching. Never be afraid to pat yourself on the back, you're doing awesome.

[@JMassengill]

Your abilities have improved greatly. Nice work. Your bus has better floors than my living room!

[@marabranna]

OMG!! I was singing that song from Little Shop of horrors, (suddenly seymore) just the other day! LOL

[@johnyaceyko9775]

You are awesome? I am a Canadian that looks forward to your Friday sharing and efforts. I love adventure, but I work from a jobsite. Short season northwest territories. Camping is over until may 😢

[@kannieschrijfnie2042]

Oh my!! Your bus looks more and more like a home for sure. Though you doubt your choices a lot it is coming together quite nicely. And you’re adorable when you brag about your skills. Which you do have as we see video after video. Keep up the good work Emma.

[@dennisporter753]

I love the flooring!.. perfect really... Good luck with the insurance... Hopefully you can get a great deal. Birbie is wonderful Emma... Just like You!! Thanks for sharing the journey of your build... Cheers from Missouri ..

[@uwekall6281]

Maybe you should install some cable ducts to protect your wiring and preferably attach some markings to those cables given you still know which is which?

[@wvmontani]

What's the music playing around 9:00 when you're putting down the floor?

[@brantfitzpatrick910]

from experience.... do not glue edges! well i glued by my back door because of snow... and i glued seams on my steps....guess what they are only place not affected by moisture and screwed up my laminate.

[@ourcolonel1685]

When cutting vegetables or anything. Safety first. Always cut away from yourself. This way the knife will never stab you. My medical doctor told me that. He had a patient he had to sew up.

[@randyrandolph9709]

Nice job lady Emma it is coming along nicely you are learning so much proud of you 👏. Please keep up the good work and i will see you on the next video. Until the next video please be safe.

[@thegringobaker]

Emma...just wanted you to know you rock. I say that because you managed to make that flooring work. I once bought laminate and ruined so much of it that I gave up.

[@carls4552]

You've really come a long way. You're cutting skills are awesome. That piece in the corner by the door was quite intricate and you nailed it. Great job. now you have to find that stupid alarm that keeps beeping while the engine is running and rip it outta there. OMG that would be so annoying. The bus is looking so good though, keep up the good work.

[@MsTiffanymakeup]

Looks so great! We converted a ambulance into a camper last year and did almost the exact flooring you used. We decided to glue ours down.-- What a nightmare! You cannot reposition and when you have a stubborn piece that doesn't want to go in it got really messy.

[@MrStingraybernard]

Nice progress, I can tell already it’s gonna look good when done

[@stevebarbarabooker5703]

You should’ve filmed continuously taking food out of the Wendy’s bag so it looked like you had tons and tons of food. Hilarious. Love watching your bud build.

[@joanmccreless5979]

Go to you tube and check out an rv'ers things to do on the road..like put all lose things on the counter top in the sink when traveling..bathroom too...use Velcro to attach things so they won't rattle or fall..use bungies for a zillion things..lose doors on cabinets anything that might wiggle..make a list of things to do before moving the bus..laminate it and stick where you will see it...I feel like I might get a bus instead of my fifth wheel!

[@clovettajackson4654]

If you have leftover flooring, go ahead and use under the bed to make it easier to keep clean. Good going young lady! All the best from Missouri.

[@TrevorBoughtABus]

"...That I'm smart enough to fix them quicklier. *Confused look*" THAT made me audibly laugh the hardest I've laughed all month. Thank you for that. 🤣🤣🤣 You're doing great! The flooring looks great!

[@ryanholloman9092]

Really great job with the bus so far and can't wait to see when it is completely done. I love your videos. I have one suggestion for you, if you are planning on keeping your car, you should hook up a way to tow it with the bus. This way you have a smaller vehicle when you go places and can get things done easier.

[@Papershields001]

At one point in the video, you mentioned that one of the boxes of flooring you bought had ruined edges because somebody dropped it. I’m a paperhanger and that happens allll the time in my industry. I once was doing an install in Georgetown of this super fancy gold foil, and the contractor walked in and plopped the tube of paper down really hard right in front of me without thinking and I almost had a heart attack. I opened it up and he had ruined 20 grand worth of gold foil.

[@paulbudzenski850]

That's how we can tell that you're not over-producing content. Vinyl Face. Great content, keep it up!

[@F-J.]

Maybe screws into the sub floorboard would have kept the floating floor planks in line.

[@barrywhitlock141]

The floor looks great, with that thin strip causing you problems I like the way you overcame it, but if you had glued that thin strip and let it dry for a day you wouldn't have had to take apart the framework,

[@NoCoSilver]

1st time commenting. Love your channel. Like button hit all the time. Keep up the videos.

[@ru5tynutzvanlife556]

It’s coming together now ,, keep going 😊😊 . Watching from the Uk 🇬🇧💜

[@mysterymacaroni]

Awesome music you've added to the video. I've loved watching every episode you've put out. Great work

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

I found out after the fact that laying the floor first and furniture on top will fixate the floor amazingly. That was some learning experience.

[@watching-and-judging-you]

Let’s just stop for a minute to recognize how great ‘Did I Make You Wait’ is… 😁

[@michaelirizarry5037]

oh that floor looks great. lmao on the naked babies. and you should sing more in your videos. you really have a great singing voice. i've never heard of breakfast soup though. lol

[@steveneddy9492]

You can buy black flexible black plastic hose to put all the Small electric wires in like the use in the engine compartment. The hose is split so wires can be put in without unhooking them

[@shanefagan9642]

Great job ! Amazing what a difference the floor has made

[@sonjadlong7554]

Just thinking about the beginning.... and WOW!!!!! IT LOOKS FABU I'm so happy for you 💗💗💗💗💗

Great work. The bus looks SO much better with that floor down. Rock & Roll

You don’t have to use spacers on your start side just leave a quarter inch gap on your finish side
