End of the Road: The Closing Chapter of Bus Life At Our Off Grid Property | An Emotional Day

[@yvonnesimmons9001]

Cross one road onto another, you may feel you lost your home, but really its memories, and onto making new memories… that’s love, that’s life, drive on… 😊

[@shermdog6969]

Long sleeves are always cooler in the summer. If the sun isn't hitting the skin. Every country that has a desert you never see them in short sleeves. Covered head to toe. Bus will make a nice b&b.

[@kencross25]

I will miss that "old yeller" school bus always sitting in the background but knowing that y'all have big plans for that space with exciting new adventures ahead. As some people would sing this Children English Rhyme, "The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round, All through the town."

[@ASacredClown]

When I was a Life Gaurd I would wear long sleeve t shirts and light weight cotton pants and the y helped me stay cool all day.

[@lynnlegault985]

Even when your old the stories of remember when it will never be forgotten

[@lynettescott682]

It's been God's divine grace that he's giving you guys the capability to do the things that you've been able to do and you're right to be thankful because it's him the reason why we are who we are blessings to you 😊

[@lesliehouston5949]

make a pretty flower garden where the bus sat and it can be a "happy garden"

[@bay9876]

I knew it. The goats ran off with their prized bus. Nice memories if you come across the bus travelling by on it's travels. A little back fire as it disappears into the sunset.

[@FIREBALL5307]

It would be nothing for me to let go but my wife is the same like you Katie just keep the memories .....

[@mikejfusa]

Like cleaning our family farm house in 2018. Dad was born and lived in the house since 1922. He was youngest of 9 and raised the 8 of us there. New young family started their family there in 2020. I visited NY this month and drove by Looks well taken care of.

[@henryminton4760]

Change has to come about in our live for the better..Yes you have a lot of very good memories of your lives with your bus and that bus was your first home until you all got your primary home built..Extra money always helps out..😢😊😊😊

[@lynnemac1402]

Not surprising that it was emotional as it was your home together and where it all started on the land.

[@waderue]

guys when it gets hot out side take a wet towel and put it on the back of the neck it will help keep cooler and you won't overheat so back when work in a hot temp

[@paulmonk7820]

Grass will be a huge blessing to control erosion and no mud!❤ 😊

[@davidfellowes1628]

Serendipity, guys. Lovely backstory.

[@niknoks6387]

You can have a beautiful garden/chill out area. You are bound to be upset, it was your home!

[@zoltankatona7910]

[@alisonmarywilsonrobertson7105]

One door closes & another door opens XX so many memories for you two but more memories to come XX

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Now you have an outside kitchen instead of a boot room I loved living in my bus I lived in it for three years had it for longer but lived in it for 3 years on my property parked it alongside my tube Bay shop cut a hole right through the shop built the tunnel into the shop wood stove kept it really warm plus I had a little propane furnace in there too but the wood stove was what kept it took it hunting all the time in the winter loved it but always warm and it only held 8 inch wood mind your head insulation on the floor though I insulated the floor and all the windows that I took over insulated to and it had blow in foam in the sealant in between the two metal roofs

[@tommylockey9979]

Bye Bye bus. Watching you two beautiful people living your dream. I have watched you for a long time. What you have done together is amazing. keep up the great work. Love and best wishes from England. xx

[@leilajoysuecroft5176]

❤❤❤...hugs... you are giving someone else the opportunity to start their own dream and to allow the bus to become part of a new dream. Hard to let it go, but it's part of your next step of your journey. Proud of you both. Love you

[@bwcok7947]

The landscape will never be the same! 😢😂🎉

[@mv.alibiii4685]

Can't help it!!! I just ❤ you guys. Just a dude from Pender. Harbor Bc.😊

[@bealight5141]

Good job Greg. Nothing better than coming home to a couple of big ol country biscuits.

[@carlosalvarez9521]

that is the perfect spot for Greg's future shop.

[@cosmoslogic9088]

That Bus was home and protection from the elements it is a part of your life awesome that it will also help someone else for years to come Love the video memories abound today

[@samanthawinslett202]

Don't feel bad Katie I was crying right there with you. It warmed my heart to see Greg comforting you. Some men don't understand how much woman devote themselves into making a dwelling into a home.Butv in sure Greg feels same, but being the manly man don't cry. Both of your blood sweat & tears went into that bus to make it a home. Tears & hugs are natural healthy way to end this chapter. I love you two so much. Thank you for sharing...

[@71suns]

I found myself in tears too right along with Katie... tears welling up relating with 'long goodbyes' and all the emotions threaded in and out of seasons in our lives. 🫂🌹🫂

[@shannonduffy5973]

Adventurous to fit up a school bus for living space out in the forest. Keep that spirit.

[@poo2764]

Yes, memories are all some of us have to cling on to, but upwards and onwards and build a better future for all.

[@Tanks-Link]

With the clear prime real estate that’s a good spot for a pole barn type area to park the tractor and the vehicles in especially went during the winter months

[@rolandtb3]

History, memories, clean-up, grading the soil, repurposing the mudroom. A new view with options.

[@ronaldlincoln2935]

There are only two things in life that matter...the times of laughter and the times of remembering the times of laughter. enjoy the latter. the bus is gone, but the memories live on.

[@carlosalvarez9521]

is a new life for the bus giving the chance to somebody else to grow up, you should keep usin the loop of how is the life of the bus with your friend, we love it tooand became part of the youtube family!!

[@amilcardeleont.4825]

Nadie sabe lo valiente que se es, hasta que se presenta el momento de comprobarlo. El cambio de vida que han decidido llevar, requiere de mucho valor. Les deseo un exitoso y feliz comienzo.

[@christineabedini3765]

OGs! I can’t believe how much you guys got done unbelievable. Wow

[@donnadunlop]

Great Video, I understand the emotional response you had seeing the bus go but part 2 of this adventure is going to be awesome. Look at all the extra space you have gained, you could never go back now look at your lovely home.

I cried with you Katie. You'll always have the memories. Bless your sweet sweet soul. It just goes to show why Greg loves you. You have a big heart. New memories in the making. Bless you both.

To everything there is a season.

[@jesseandrade8752]

That was one of your best videos. It was so emotional I got emotional with you two. Thank you for sharing. The old veteran

[@71suns]

Me too. I could feel the sweetness of the home they created...the relationship that grew living in their bus-home. Fertile soil for growth that has been the foundation of their lives together and all they're creating. A good deal to be thankful for...and tears clinging to earlier times while they move forward in their journey. Sweet people creating 'home'.

[@chrissperry1830]

You two should be so proud of what you have created. You've built a beautiful home and property, which takes time. Letting go of your early beginnings is part of your success. Congratulations guys.

[@jamescumbo1928]

Katie the 2 of you are doing a great job. Save your memories and cherish them. Your beautiful smile made my day and cheered me up. Thanks for the wonderful video

It's okay to say goodbye when you now have a view of the lake from your new home... love Edith

[@teaberrywmn]

Beautiful video you two. Thank you for sharing your life and your emotions. This is the way of our lives. Change is inevitable and it elicits feelings and, hopefully, brings joy when new ideas come to fruition.

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

You two are doing an excellent job the right way keep it up and take care

[@martykennedy3962]

Along with progress there will always be Good Memories. You young folks are doing a great job…..take care and be safe!

[@bubbaredneck75]

you should convert the bus mud room into a chill out memory room. couch and a small wood stove and u could hang out and reminisce about this whole process. pictures and whatever nicknacks bring back memories.

[@sharenht791]

You must get some worrywart viewers,everytime I see you you are always explaining yourself.The grass looks great and glad you will have waterviews,most people arent that lucky

[@vorovee3]

After pulling the bus out, the hug you guys gave each other was one great hug!!!!

[@johnson8950]

You might want to take the skirting plywood and use it to make walls under the roof where the bus used to be. You would have a nice little shop and not worry when it snows. That will be coming soon.

[@j_cbat]

That bus is in great shape!

[@erwinaddison2030]

A bus full of memories😊

[@harmyjim2]

Use the overhang to dry out wood. Great video, hard to see the bus go, but you two are awesome people that show us how to move on, rebuild, enjoy life and create.

[@todmarsh3310]

Great Job You Two!!!!!! Emotions when leaving a Good home are Normal and Good for your Soul! It proves you were in the right place at the right time with the right person(s). The Bus did it's job for that time of your life, and now your friends can take it for Chapters in their lives.

[@GrampaBlueCarandLuna]

Aren’t you glad you didn’t give up when the road washed out. Good job!

[@lauraquigley6403]

How sad for Katie😢!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@stevefarmer3197]

You should do a video of when you and Greg met a story of your life until now and what you have achieved together ❤️ as a happy loving couple The house from scratch all your builds and life in general

[@suezaple4950]

It would be hard to get rid of the bus & the memories it hold I feel for Katie, and understand her feeling, But one positive is your yard has now expanded giving you folks more room for other projects . And the bus will make memories for another individual ( the bus can live on). And you folks have a wonderful self sustaible homestead your working on. I am sure your friends are going to love this . Ontario Canada,

[@mikehomner4724]

There's bad change and good change, this falls in the latter category. Those were happy tears... It's good to look back and see everything you have accomplished! Love the new intro too! :):)

[@Graeme408]

I CANNOT BELIEVE the engergy you two have bottled up inside. I get tired watching you. You two are doing a superb job.

[@didiermoreau273]

Kelly,tu étais très émue en voyant le school bus partir, c'était très émouvant, soit forte vous méritez du bonheur bisous,kiss ❤

[@chuckhorner3758]

Elvis has left the building and the bus has left the homestead...signaling the end of an era and the continuation of your new era. It is tough to say goodbye to what was your home...all the adventures, all the trials and tribulations, all the love you made. But you are on to your new digs and you are continually improving your homestead. Nothing but respect, kudos, and accolades to the both of you!

[@ld5714]

Outstanding video you guys! The bus was home and the basis and glue that provided the foundation for you two to build your relationship, adventure and off grid home. While a poignant and stirrirg event of emotions, the passing of the bus off to friends will soon become something to take pride in as you look back acknowleging and celebrating your accomplishments and success to date. That is certainly something you can be very proud of and happy about Katie. The property is taking on a totally new look and vibe already with the little done in the video, it made a huge difference. Thanks for taking me along with you two on this adventure and a brief reflection on the past 5 years. You guys are awesome and I can't wait to see the next step as you build out and live your dream. Have a great week ahead and be safe. Larry in Ca.

Great video! Loved hearing the backstory and seeing footage of the bus transformation. I got all teary for you both when the bus pulled away from its home for so long. Your music choices were perfection...a truly fine video! ❤

I wouldn't concern myself with those so concerned about siding. You guys accomplish so much in each video, things as you have said need to be done. The dip in the lake looked so refreshing!

You guy had a pretty nice bus I think that's the first time I saw the interior...that's how you develop a lifetime relationship do everything together hubby and me have been together 46 years when he's out of town at his business with our 2 sons he sends me songs that we enjoyed together when we were dating so its like we're courting it keeps it alive he asked me to marry him on our 3rd date

[@ralphbourke5473]

The bus was the only shelter you had while building the next major achievement in your partnership! We all had to crawl before we walked and now while as hard as it may seem out with the old in with the new just think how far you both have come, we who have watched do and wish you two all the best life has to offer.

As a young guy, I lived on a float house in the southeast alaska. So swimming in cold water wasn't a problem, once in and acclimated, it wasn't real bad yet no hours of swimming... more just to get the blood flowing. Greg, Katie, I have chatted with you kids now for a few years and I am now on hospice fighting for my life to stay out of the ground. I feel like I am freezing in a room that is in the sixties. Strictly warm water guy at almost seventy four. I can't swim anymore as my muscle turned to ugly something. The statement of use it or lose it is so very true. I can say that I feel loss when something significant leaves like a home for those precious years together. I hope the grass comes back soon and maybe the canadian lotto will get you running water. Hard work is not a stranger to the two of ya... best wishes

in europe its common to do this, build a barn and live in it add a second floor to have living quarters

Ahhh😢 you guys have touched a lot of lives .. We have watched you toil , learn , build and build some more. Greg and Katy you have worked extremely hard , and yes your bus was home for quite a while , and yes there is nothing wrong with shedding a tear or two . It was your beginning to this special lifestyle that you have chosen to live . And now it can move on for someone else's new beginnings!

[@heiditaylor5896]

I would be lying if I said I didn't get a little emotional with watching the bus journey. Its always hard when you have to leave or sell a section of memories you made. Even though those memories stay with you its hard walking away from that chapter. But when we close one chapter we turn the page and start a new one. ☺️

It's a celebration of the changes we experience in life (tears just express how big the change is)! It's hard to make changes, but you're making so many wonderful things on your new home it will be so much better!
