Have journeyed with you from the beginning. Therefore I offer this release of blessing. “May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall softly upon your fields……”

[@kenhoward3512]

Just watching the cleaning of Birbie, it reminded me of just how much time and effort you put into building that interior. It was a massive project, and really came out well. I'm looking forward to discovering what the next project will be. 'Best wishes to you, Emma.

[@jimluscomb530]

Watching Birbie drive away was like watching a child go off to college. A sad but happy occasion.

[@jeffcoler3104]

It has been a pleasure and joy watching you accomplish so much in the time you have. We have been able to see your confidence grow, your problem-solving skills peek, and your enjoyment of completing tasks you had never done before. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned next. Bye Birbie.

[@troysawyer1383]

Wow, what a ride! I discovered your channel about two-weeks ago as I was stuck home with Covid and then a bad back. I've now watched the entire series. It amazes me how invested in your build I was. Every now and then the wife would walk through the room and I would say "Hey look Emma's about finished with her roof. She only has one bottom row to go." "Hey look Emma's put in new counter tops, but she still has the last row of her roof to finish." "Emma just put in a cool bathroom, but she still hasn't finished that last row of roof." "Emma's finished her kitchen BUT STILL HASN'T PUT ON THAT LAST F'n ROW OF ROOF! " Ha ha, invested I tell you! You so much remind me of myself doing projects around the house. Measure twice, cut twice, or maybe three times. But you got it done and it looks awesome. I think I was more upset than you were, when you sold it. Your videos are great and you should really continue making them, whether commercially, for your channel, or for yourself. They are all very entertaining and thank you for keeping me from being too bored while I was locked in the house. Good luck on your boat build. And thanks for finishing that last row on your roof!

[@EmmaBuildsBirbie]

hahaha I love this. And I was almost driven mad by that last strip of insulation so i'm very impressed with your perseverance! Thanks for watching :)

[@morgantalbert7103]

I am glad you were able to create memories for both of us with your bus adventures. Keep the videos coming though. You are a good editor.

[@nourltuber]

With all the learning and confidence you gained with Birbie, you will be way more confident with your abilities! Life seems to always change when you think you have a handle on it. Good luck in the future and I will be following! Keep smiling Emma, it looks great on you! 😁🎃🍁👻😉

[@nashdiy8570]

Having grown up on boats, my dad constantly fixing them up even though others believed there was no hope for them… I’m thrilled for you and can’t wait to see where you go.

[@kraftystuff]

You really are an inspirational role model for not only women but us men also. I really like the way that you showed loyalty to the garage. It is almost a dying trend, but it's nice to know that it still exists especially in young ones. You are well set up for the challenge of the boat. I'm looking forward to this new project and hopefully some shared adventures in the future. Well done girl .

[@hgj2019]

Wow! If you ever sell anything again, hope I have a chance to buy it. You left Birbie SPOTLESS! You can certainly be proud of the job you did on Birbie. Outstanding!😊

[@javabeanz8549]

I have to send this video to a friend, she lives on a boat. And congratulations on finding the perfect new owners for the bus.

[@kannieschrijfnie2042]

I was waiting for your remark “why didn’t I clean the bus so thoroughly when I lived in the bus myself?” but it did not happen 😀. What a journey it was and what a journey ahead. Lots of succes and I can’t wait for your next episode. Greetings from 🇳🇱👋

[@nintendolunchbox]

It’s been a pleasure watching your grow up a few years making and enjoying this build. If I were to hear you were selling it so soon I’d assume I wouldn’t continue to watch. Nope. I can’t wait to watch your continuing adventures.

[@Equineeducation77]

PRECISION IS THE SHIT!!!! They saved me a couple times with semi issues. I always recomend them to drivers

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

Well, I guessed that right. As soon as you said plans,the gig was up. I already watch several channels doing that so I will happily watch you to. Good luck.

[@lukekao8136]

Hey, tell the new owners about this place call "Sandy vans" so in case if they want to make that bus "4 wheel drive and add a wrench to the front bumper" since you mentioned they want to go to the beach a lot, they may end up getting stuck in the sand if it's only "2 wheel drive". Btw, that place is in oregon. Hope the Info helps. Oh one last thing, they could jack the vehicle up to which makes it easier to get out of sandy areas.

[@mrmotofy]

Yes the older trucks/busses/diesels were ALL loud. Newer stuff is much better/quieter. Heard the diesels from last 5yrs or so they're so quiet almost doesn't sound like a diesel

[@fredzoler2750]

Great choice. Building a boat is an even greater challenge than converting a school bus. We are ready to follow you on your new adventure🙂

[@nottoooldtwo]

1 of my grandsons is in the Air Force and lives in Ogden! I'll make sure to tell him about the mechanics shop! Congrats on completing your goals!!👍🏼🌞 Looking forward to your next adventure

[@michaelhoran407]

Propose TENT LIFE, just like nomadic herders in Tibet, Mongolia and Turkey, K2 base camp, etc.

[@MrJohnyBoy00]

As others have stated before, the build was interesting to say the least as you started, struggled, overcame and finished the build. I enjoyed watching you grow through this project. Take Care and GOD Bless You

[@peterappelman5154]

been following along for a bit.....I am a boat owner. older boat sometime have non cored decks and hulls. this is something that can make working on a boat much easier (a scale of a thousand)...good luck! make sure the bilge pump works!!!!!!!

[@stevengregory8686]

Emma, sad to see it go. So, a BOAT, Huh......It would be good to have one of your stickers!!!!

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

May Birbie live to give the new owners adventures untold. I wish your excitement for the next project be everything you hope, wish, and desire. ❤❤❤❤

[@0HARE]

Those new owners must be overjoyed! I sure would be. You created a beautiful, functional living space. Best of luck with your new project.

[@Niteskate1]

You seem so happy about your next adventure, I can't wait to see what it is. Take care Emma.

[@nealmurphy647]

What a journey!!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!!!! I hope the windows serve the new owners well also 😂 I'm SO happy for you!!!!!

[@Snipedog1978]

Oh man I am so happy for you I a have been along for this journey since day one. And I feel I got to be part of it in just a little by helping u out with the saw horses. I am so looking forward to seeing this boat project and can’t wait to see you continue to grow and spreed you wings. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more videos coming

[@vonheise]

Great build, sorry to see it go, but life has it's seasons... I have dealt with the closed door refrigerator mold before. The one I have now has plastic inserts to hold it open when the power is off, or it is stored.

[@jayfcali]

Congrats on your new project, I'm kind of excited to see you transition to a whole different build. It'll be like learning how to build again from scratch but hopefully you can use some of the skills you learned building Birbie. Are you starting right away or you taking some time off before starting the new project ?

[@TheBlake27]

I started watching right at the beginning of this entire thing, I've enjoyed the journey you've taken so far, can't wait to see what you do with the next 😊

[@manfredfritz6068]

I figured it was gonna be sold to one of these guys on here, pay full price but just wanted the driver's seat.

[@freedomzvision]

Ending chapters in our lives are always filled with mixed feelings and inevitable stress. Yep everything happens so fast. Its like a shift. Its true, keep your actual plans to yourself. Its hard but best to hide. That's amazing how it was so windy the last night you were on the bus and you couldn't sleep ! The winds of change. Amazing how the trees scratched the bus ! Wow you made the bus look like new !!!! You did so much to rebuild it originally and its looks beautiful. You are such a great worker !!!! Sorry about the nail polish being stuck to the wood and the refrigerator being so yucky after being disconnected in the mechanics shop for 3 weeks ! You did such a good job !!!! You honestly did do such a huge amount of work on that bus and I agree that's something a bit hard to deal with. Thank you for sharing :) Peace and Love !!!! ♥ 🌺🍁🌷

[@jeffsadon552]

i do enjoy your stories I hope you will continue to share more of them

[@bigrobsvan]

I've watched so many of your videos that I felt a little like you were selling "our" bus. Good luck on the next adventure, sounds exciting! If the boat has a shower, don't wallpaper it. :)

[@TheUtopiansBus]

Excited for you and your new project. The open seas await you! Can't wait to follow the journey. Will you name it Flirbie (a floating Birbie)??? 😁

[@levt2156]

Wow, wow, wow!!!! I'm so excited for you! Congratulations! I'm looking forward to this next chapter in your adventures.

[@dawnagrey149]

Congrats on the sale of your bus. May your next journey be easier.

[@craigtoups5786]

awesome! can't wait for the boat build.

[@jclements65]

Your adventures on Barbie were always well done. Can’t wait to see the next project, You are a amazing person,

[@arnoldsnodgrass2953]

A boat will be amazing! I’m really looking forward to watching. Best wishes.

[@scruffyhightops]

Following your adventure with Birbie was so lovely. Now with a Boat! This is going to be rad!

[@justdavidphotos]

I've enjoyed watching you build your bus. Good luck with your next adventure project!

[@whereverilaymyhat6673]

Going to miss your bus and your travels so much! 😢

[@CarlinComm]

Congrats on making the sale so quickly! I can imagine that was mixed emotions, but you sound really happy to move forward. Well done :)

[@markshepherd3195]

Yes a boat ⛵ Perth western Australia

[@MattWells0]

I am so thrilled you are getting a boat. I have been following sailing channels long before you started building Birbie and that you have that bug too 😘 I really hope it is one with sails but I couldn't fault you either way! Looking forward to see where you end up :)

[@christopherhaugen6847]

May your new adventures be wonderful

[@jamesbeaman5944]

Oh, I hope it’s a Shantyboat!!! By Roy designed that!!! I’m excited too!!! I’m almost done with mine! Best, Jim

[@jasonjones5213]

I kind of figured, Awesome!

[@twoforonecreativelife]

So happy to hear your announcement. Happy to see the smile on the new owner’s face and hear the joy in their voices. You done good, girl! 😉. Onward and upward 💖

[@zertoil]

Ok, now I know I have driven school buses to long and I haven't driven in five years. Just by looking at the cockpit area and hearing the motor I knew it was a midsize, front engine bluebird. Minus the engine being in the front and noisy when driving those things are built like tanks.

[@dougintothesunset]

19:40 - . . . Nice foreshadow . . . :) Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@DirectCurrent4u]

That was a really awesome Bus that You had! Sad to see it go! But at least it will still be traveling and making peoples dreams come true! Wishing you all the best with Your New future plans! Stay safe and God Bless.🙏🏻👍🌹

[@norm5785]

Congradulations, now more totally forward with a new adventure.

[@AB-C1]

Great video Emma! I KNEW it was gonna be boat! Not sure how I just had a feeling that's what it was. Especially when you mentioned "keeping it afloat" I was like it's DEFINITELY a boat, then you said boat. THIS IS GOING TO BE SOO COOL! Have a great week and can't wait for this build to start! Good LUCK! Ps. Couple of my mates are building/renovating boats now weirdly! One a narrow boat the other a big old motor-cruiser! Cheers from London ❤️👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@mp-ss6sy]

Oh damn. A boat! The two things I’m working on. Seriously, I can’t wait to see what you do with the boat. Does this mean we’ll start to get weekly vids again?

[@brads4667]

I am sad. But I understand. Yours getting a boat?? I am happy again. We all know you love water so this will be fun. 😊

[@peweeherman5610]

Wish you well and good luck on your next project

[@wasabiwarriorr8948]

So excited to see your next adventure! So proud of you ❤❤

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Wow, a boat, how exciting. My cousin just bought a barge!

[@karagregory69]

Sad to see Birdie go, but apply the lessons learned from her to apply them to the next project.

[@stephennowicki7158]

I watched you build the bus, you did a great job.

[@robinhoward9113]

sorry to see it go, happy to see the next chapter 🙂

[@pnwusa]

oooohhhh!!!! wow!!!! emma!!!! seriously???? a boat???? how random and exciting! whatever you're gonna be doing should be aaaamaaaazing!!!! continued blessings.🕊

[@hgj2019]

Sad day for us, maybe for you too? Happy day for new owner. It sold so fast, hope it was not too cheap!

[@TomJones0065]

You be safe out there, Just SO YA KNOW, Watching Your Videos, YOU ALWAYS Inspire me some how! And bring back Memories from my past THANK YOU!

[@moustachemike7128]

[@TheLemonAndBeanBus]

Can’t wait for the next adventure! We’re gunna miss the bus

[@JimBerryman-uf9io]

I have to say Emma, I'm really proud of you, with what you accomplished with the but, I can't wait to see what you do with the boat. I know it makes no sense, because I don't have any investment in this, hell, I don't even know you, but I'm proud of what you've accomplished, and I can't wait to see what you do with the boat. To more adventures, Emma😁

[@JuliaBrooke]

Omg I can't wait for the boat chapter🥹❤⚓

[@filipmaryska6401]

Emma looks good on you💗💗💗

[@76Scutter]

Just came across your channel and have only had time to watch a couple videos so far but so far lile your videos and 100% honest CANNOT get over just how beautiful your face is

[@hanjansul3053]

아쉽네요 엠마 ! 영상 기다릴께요

[@AdamHinckley]

Since you sold the bus, will you be changing the channel name? Depending on what you call your new rig. I'm so glad to be part of the journey over the past year or so

[@traveltime2116]

I can't believe you did all that work and sold it.

[@rappeezy]

Dang I just came from the build video

[@Victor.McCann]

Well Emma will miss Birdie but I am ready for your new adventure Love you and stay safe

[@francoisg1393]

Bye bye Birbie! The important part of the channel name is "Emma builds". Birbie was a great journey. I can't wait to see what you'll do with Boatie McBoatface (don't put the naming of your boat to a poll...). Can't wait to watch Emma build again.

[@fullpulse2000]

A bus a boat, a land yacht to a yacht isn't a stretch. Take care.

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Waiting the next build

[@bonniepettersen4063]

Been fun watching your journey! You did an amazing job! Looking forward to what’s next! You sure know how to live your life👍 Best wishes🫶🏼

[@ellenados804]

Happy for you

[@charlesegrahamii4702]

Ohh come on now you're just doing a boat because you knew that was my dream and never got to do it. Happy for you ☺️. Can't wait to see you get started 🤠

[@the_dingo_show]

dang Emma, I said houseboat way way back, like what, the first lake you stayed at!?! Bloody good on ya mate. Can't wait to see the plan and boat building hijinks to come. Do the new owners have Yt or some socials we can follow? Bye Bye Birbie, happy travels.

[@ltwig476]

Boats are totally different animal. But you seam more like a love of the water type than the trail type. You will likely do very well.

[@FrethKindheart]

A boat! Yes!

[@keithburkett9448]

Good Bye Birbie 😊

[@malikdigger4544]

Well Emma yes ur selling the RV bus but think huge profit investment in long run plus next camper can enjoy it

[@bryans8656]

I am really looking forward to your next project. I built a small boat many years ago, and lived on a much larger sailboat for years (both wood), and I'm wondering if that's what you have planned.

[@user-lk2cj2qs1d]

Wood is the best especially the old vintage ones No TUPPERWARE

[@jeanellemorhain9221]

When the video started and you were cleaning it out I said I wonder if she will find a baby!! Lol

[@johnniechildsjr8220]

i love watching your videos.

[@user-lk2cj2qs1d]

Any one would love to have the EMMA BUS!

[@BigAirPete]

Ok time to come to Mexico😊

[@mitchducky962]

Good night hello 👋🏾 how you doing your still feeling good so really love and miss seeing before sold from bus . but I have to get your own SUV truck now 👏🏾🆒🤓👍🏾🆗👌🏾🔜🤲🏾😌😏

[@ronaldseitz3677]

Well let's what's going on with the flow of your ideals Enjoy your day or night ✌️

[@Buses2Bikes]

Ok. I feel immensely better. Bus to Boat is a lateral move in my book. The house/cabin/farm thing would have driven me nuts to watch every week but a boat...a boat is good. Totally get behind a boat build & adventures. Thanks for not forcing me to tune out. My Aspergers doesn't allow me to do well with change. But this change is not a drastic or bad one so YAY!

[@jo100]

You have a very very very Beautiful Personality 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@madisonbusman7688]

With that I say Ship Ahoy! ⛵️

[@PuffVIDS]

Its really sad becuse it take to long to make nd solding its journey for you it kind broke my heart so. Keep it up ❤
