" BIRBIE, THE COOL BUS ".... YOU'VE DONE one HELL of a job ! be proud . very proud ! I hope nothing but the best ...

[@Saint-eg7yg]

The walls really bring it together. The separate spaces make it more like a home with a different personality in each room. Great job!!!

[@loldug1325]

9:00 bless you x2

[@Swampkrew]

Blue light equals parasitic draw. So you’ll need a master disconnect switch if you’re gonna leave the bus parked for a while.

[@TrevorBoughtABus]

Is it considered "parasitic draw" if that's an intended feature? Pretty sure that style switch is meant to always be illuminated. You're 100% right about having another switch to disable it when she wants it off.

[@mrmotofy]

Technically yes...but the draw is so low, it will take 10 yrs to drain a battery from it.

[@hollystockdesign]

“I had to sacrifice my body to save the tacos!” Add this one to the list of quotes by Emma! 🤣

[@meshack.travels8913]

My favorite YT each week! Thanks for sharing. I moved into my bus after 5 days of owning it out of necessity… and the build goes on! 😳. I find comfort in watching others build AND I commiserate with you on that scribing stuff! 🤯

[@TheFlutterrbye]

🦋❣🦋Jus a thought, you can use black board paint, and turn those two walls into black boards. In the plumbing dept you maybe able to find flexible molding that may join the walls with your ceiling the easy way. I really like how your home is coming out. I'm looking forward to your adventures. 🦋❣🦋❣🦋

[@patblu3214]

Emma you are a beast!!! Girl you went from knowing nothing to a bus builder! So so proud of you. I saw another Tuber builder who used a nautical type rope to cover all of the edges in place of moulding. She just stapled it around the edges. It hid any scribing errors and uneven wood. Regardless the bus is beautiful. You inspire me. I would like to buy a tee shirt and a hoodie but it has to be XL. Thank you for this build series!

[@OveBakken]

If you try to make just enough spaghetti .., you always end up making too little! 😄 EDIT: If a screw gets tight (a lot of resistance) and then very loose again, it means you stripped the threads inside the hole ..

[@jasonjones5213]

Looking more like a house every episode.Great work.

[@adrianramirez5705]

I think you did a great job 😉 on the walls & the painting, it looks like a professional construction work.

[@Buses2Bikes]

You take "Product Shilling" to the next level. In the 4 years I've been watching bus and boat channels, I've never seen anyone who's been able to hawk as much goods as you do BEFORE the bus/boat is even done and on the road. This is like the 4th or 5th product placement episode and you haven't even left your driveway yet. Was Marketing one of the things you went to college for? If not...you need to get a school to give you a course to teach. You are putting that SHAM-WOW guy to shame. I can't even imagine who's going to be throwing sponsorships your way when you finally do hit the road. The sky's the limit! Make sure you hold out for a new Bronco when Ford comes calling.

[@infotoons212]

She segued into it so beautifully I literally laughed when the product came out because I didn't see the promo coming. This girl's Got Talent!

[@Wayne_Smith]

Good for her, I hope she does well.

[@ryanholloman9092]

Emma great job on the bus! I can't believe the bus is almost finished. Also that is a really pretty dress. Keep up the great work!

[@jamesknight496]

9:03 bless you. Lol looking good. Been watching since day 1.

[@D4NS80]

Yeh mate those will be 110VAC units, you'll need some 12VDC units for your USB if you want them to be powered off the bus without the inverter.

[@Danielwhitney2020]

They sell round 12V USB chargers that screw in like the light switch. Probably worth installing so you don't have to have the inverter on to charge your phone

[@steve318k]

Yay ! It's Friday - new video day !!!

[@nemomenth]

The little USB outlet box is going to need 120V AC (plugged into the inverter) to work. You can get versions that run off of 12V DC instead if you don't want to use you inverter to charge USB devices.

[@duathlete827]

Very pretty in your new dress. You got a lot of things done and the bus is coming along great.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Emma you are doing a great job with your build. You maybe afraid sometimes but it doesn't stop you from trying. Even making mistakes you keep trying. I like your stickers.

[@clintkay5860]

You could use Rope for your corner Trim. Makes Trim easy! And pritty!

[@_JoyceArt]

I was seriously thinking early in the video what would be a pretty and easy way to trim those curved edges and thought of ropes well.

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Emma the Scribe Queen👑👑👑 girl you're rocking it. The finish line is in sight. Great work.

[@francoisg1393]

Your house is looking more and more like a house! It's becoming more functional and liveable every week! You just need to get some water and propane in there and you'll be able to live in there! You look so cute in that dress! See you next week!

[@ourcolonel1685]

When tightening the screw on the duplex fixture. If it gets tighter and tighter then it gets really loose. You have over tightened it. Throw it away and get another one.

[@barrywhitlock141]

It is coming along, I like the way you do things, it's not always the best way but you make it more interesting

[@justwastingmytime852]

OMG!!! THE PROGRESS, GIRL!!!! THE PROGRESSS!!! You really make me so proud!!!

[@dennisporter753]

You have come a long way Emma... Birbie will be a nice home once you get her completed.. So excited for you girl... Beautiful dress and beautiful lady too if I am being honest.. The stickers and shirts look nice... Thanks for sharing the progress Emma.... See ya next week!

Hi Emma! Amazing how much crafts you have learned during this bus build👍. And the new blue dress looks great. 🙂❤️

[@michaelirizarry5037]

[@HOODS]

Moving into the Bus. That's awesome. Hoping I can muster the energy to do something with my bus this weekend.

[@norm5785]

You have done a wonderful job. This will look wonderful when done. You might even find things you want to change. Thank you for sharing this with us today from Henrico County Virginia

Hey Emma. Bus is looking really good and so are you 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🙂🙂💛💛

[@con-b118]

Hello Emma , I'm rewatching some of your videos. I have friends interested in watching you finish your build. Have you thought about window dressings and are you putting a door there at your bedroom and the bathroom ? You could put a big macrame hanging there in the doorway. That seems like it would fit your personality. Anyway just excited to see the finished project and then see what else you get into next. Have great day ! Con

[@brads4667]

Great job. On the walls. Love the dress. I am waiting for you to build your upper cabinets

[@rajanikumari3672]

Good job on your bus. Please get an inspection of your electrical work before you get on the road.Peace of mind that you won't have an electrical fire. DIY electrical is one of the top causes of bus/van fires.

[@malcolmellis9654]

u shld set your lights and stuff up on Bluetooth..u can work it all from your phone...😎

[@darkfactory8082]

Spaghetti... =P Never get enough.. Haha, it's one of my favorites.. NIce job, Emma, don't worry about voltages... Things are made to work anyway, on 12,110,220 or 2. The amperage is more of an issue and the fire starter, depending on what load you hook on. The voltage rating is more about the isolation grade , but on lower voltage it works for sure. Just don't plug it to some HV source, or you'll get a nasty surprise.. =) When the screw gets tight enough, you stop turning it. No need to squeeze some juice out of it or strip the treads. Keep on, cheers and i hope you'll be able to see many nice places. Oh, don't forget the hanging wires all around... =)

[@jayfcali]

It's now the 28th so you're probably working your way moving into the bus. Can you park the bus at the property after you move out ? I'm stoked to see where you actually take this big bus and how it does. I'm curious how you'll fill your water tank, will you punch a hole on the side or just use a hose ? It took however long it took, but dang woman, you BUILT YOUR OWN HOME, well done!

[@trainman4763]

Thank You Emma for the videos!!! Can't wait till you are traveling around the US you could stop by Indiana - Lots of camping around here!!

Pull tape when the paint is still wet. You get much cleaner and straight lines from my experience, but I'm not a painter.

[@beachlife9419]

Super awesome job 👍 bud , looks amazing 🤩🤩

If the outlet says 120vac then thats what is needed, unless you get 12vdc to usb like for a car 12v.

[@iamdooley66]

Here’s another comment to support you! LoL - seriously. And also seriously, a t-back tank. Please and thank you.

[@raycucchi5557]

Frog tape is specifically designed for crisp lines and no bleed through, blue tape is better than masking tape but not as good as green.👍

[@AbNomal621]

Haven’t seen another reply on it, but… you can’t connect something calling for 110 to 12 volts. The mechanism for changing to USB power is totally different. And as another has pointed out, if the screw gets loose again it has stripped from being over tightened.

[@designsinorbit]

Wallpaper or tin tiles would be awesome!

[@TrevorBoughtABus]

Birbie is looking great!

that light blue dress makes your blue eyes pop on camera ! Keep up the good job, you're almost there :-)

[@chrishiggins1811]

Emma this is just my opinion but I'd put them switches for the bathroom and hallway on the wall of the kitchen. Great work though keep it up

[@trainman4763]

Soooo Perfect!!!

maybe you could make a rollup bubblewrap skylight cover on a roll up window shade type of thing

Your doing a great job pretty young lady by the way if you want to cover them cracks and don't want use trim you can use rope as trim and it will look nice

[@johntossing624]

Sacrificing the knee for the tacos was a good move.

[@killerkm4200]

So I don't know if anyone mentioned it or not, was that solid core wire you used for AC? If so, it would probably be better to use stranded wire instead. I've seen many bus builds and many forum posts that talk about the importance of using stranded wired because the movement and vibration caused in driving the bus can make the solid wire crack and short out. I don't know how much of a long/short term problem it is but might be worth thinking about redoing.

[@Snipedog1978]

First off I have to say 🥰😘😍 you look so absolutely stunning and beautiful in the dress it looks amazing you should dress up more. Also I have to say that this journey has been amazing, I can’t wait to see all of the little details that you put into your new home and the journey we get to see you take.

[@davidfaler]

I enjoy watching you put your bus together. You make me laugh when I see how indecisive you can be, because I can relate. You're really doing a great job and learning a lot in the process. It's not as easy as a lot of people think especially the scribing.

[@fabiogdeus]

You are doing a real great job! By the way, do you intend to put film on the windows, to prevent people on the outsides to see the inside of the bus? Like on the bedroom or the bathroom?! Because maybe it will be hard for you to put it now, since all the divisions are already installed... But maybe you will find a way! 😉

@@mrmotofy I thought of those square ones with a lid/cover. As I see it, conduits are more those tube types that cannot be opened. Or is it an American/Britain english thing?

[@jimdickenson9855]

Love you attitude

[@carls4552]

I like seeing you in the dress. Not good for doing bus build work, but looks good on you :). For the USB connector, you'll want to return that one. 120v = AC (requires the inverter). 12v = DC. You can get USB plugs that are 12v and won't require the inverter. Also, while the led switch being lit while the lights are off would look cool, it'll draw power even when you're not using the lights. On a battery system, you'll want to make sure that when switches are off, nothing is drawing power like that. How are you going to finish the build after you move in? You'll still need to cut wood for different things, like the shower walls, or will that be done by then?

[@mrmotofy]

Those tiny little LED will run for years before draining a battery
