A tip for yall in future....soak your furring for ceilings in water for a few days. They will bend to take curves easily. Peace yall.

[@VANESSASBLESSEDLIFE]

Nice

[@MisterrJmark]

When are you guys getting a show in HGTV or DIY channel? This looks great! So much time and dedication. Reminds me of Chip and Joanna Gaines!!!

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Thanks so much. We have had some production companies approach us in the past but nothing solid. We will keep trucking along on KZbin...😆

[@hylandricers8013]

I understand how busy this project is. Must be stressful, raising the roof cutting holes. Great job

[@tautrino]

Yesterday for the first time I came across THE BUS Life here on KZbin. After looking hours after hours your bus projects it's every time so amazing to see the quality and joy of how you''re making your videos, your family as one, kids doing each their own stuff alone plus together and enjoying and last but not the least; You 2 as parents.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@tedneedham3998]

What do y’all plan to do with the good news bus when you finish the new bus? The reason I ask is this: My wife and I are thinking about a full time ministry to rv camps by providing weekly church services in exchange for space rentals.

[@lindajc123]

I think that, though it is entertainment for us as well as instruction for those who want to learn, you are a real family and have a real life to live. You can't just cross your arms and nod your head, and magic happens (like the genie). That is why I find everything so fascinating. You are doing something most of us would not be able to do or even willing to do!! Have a wonderful 2018!!

[@ecovention]

Great work all the best watching from New Zealand.

[@technofugit8391]

Awesome family, God bless, keep the faith, y’all are fantastic

[@friedaschmidt1861]

It's taking shape!!! Love watching it happen. You all work SO HARD!!

[@pierrecoutu1]

Your videos will be helpful. I should have my 40 ft school bus certified by Wednesday and the fun will begin!

[@jolynnschlegel9501]

You guys are doing amazing with the bus! And I just love your videos and the edits that you do, take your time...you are only human and have a beautiful family also to take care of! Thanks for taking us along!!

[@KCherieSoaps]

Thank you for doing these videos. I understand how time consuming it can be to get a video edited and uploaded. I think this is so cool to watch!

[@wagnerfamily2043]

The bus is looking great!

[@johns6119]

The window looks great, good job

[@jamesmoore3346]

In just the time ive been following the build i am a.azed how much ya'll have done in the time frame. I guess this one isnt your first one and you did a good job of planning before hand. Its looking great! When i seen the date i was even more amazed as im about 45 minutes north of new orleans, just over the line in mississippi, yesterday i woke up to 15° with chill of 4°. Man it was cold, ice evefywhere. Your in a tee shirt. Were only about 11-12 hours away. Crazy weather! Ya'll have fun, im gonna stay inside couple more days, LOL.......

[@crossovergym]

A whole 5 hours of sleep?!? I should be so lucky. Haha. You are doing a great job! You are moving quite fast with your build, I can't keep up with your pace.

[@locomotive3845]

I used a product when I did an interior of a Chevy van. Screw caps, put the screw through the base and snap a cap over the screw head. they come in colors if needed. check on line, not many conversion shops these days.

[@emananwar3082]

take your time in the videos, you guys are doing a great job here , i love your family and your cat

[@nowhereman8422]

Awesome looking good so far

[@HappyPatita]

Can't wait to see the reult

[@AaronBockelie]

Hey, run your furring strips horizontally! You don't want those metal ribs in contact or proximity to your interior paneling and makes a better space for your insulation. Also, rip some plywood into strips, instead of milled wood. The millwork splits and cracks when you drive nails and screws into it. Plywood resists splits and has more dimensional stability. All the best, #broccolibus

[@1banos]

It's a family affair loving it...

[@jamesnelson4452]

It looks great

[@ThatGuyFromArizona]

Shane, did you consider radiant heating for your conversion during your builds?

[@jonathansouthwick1095]

I can't understand why people are giving 👎on these vlogs … a bunch of nay-sayers I think. Great job on your conversion and once again it's great to see your kids helping out.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

We have hater groupies too...😂😂😂

[@donnabarnes4930]

i think you guys are doing a great job. you have got a lot done so far :)

[@locomotive3845]

I notice the holes for new wireing in the wood, make sure not to drill or nail through it when paneling. During my van conversion I hit wires with a screw inside the frame work. days of repair work.

[@Lysander-Spooner]

This solves that: www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-2-in-x-2-1-2-in-Nail-Plates-50-Pack-62899/100151742

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

I do understand the time it takes for editing videos! Be careful about removing wires, I have seen a number of bus conversions that have removed wires and then the bus would not start because the safety interlocks for the rear and side safety doors was removed. Glenn Lever

[@TheBusLifeShow]

so far so good

[@locomotive3845]

I remember Ian having that problem with his conversion. Got to watch the switches.

[@mikeknutson415]

Shane make sure you wear a good chemical respirator and get lots of airflow when spraying foam, the guy Jim gadberry that did his bus he wound up getting severely ill from spraying the foam from the fumes... look up spray foam illness, is very real and very serious so be careful

[@pauldietrich478]

Another great video....

[@UberAdventure]

Can't wait to see whats next #Amazing

[@thegingerbusadventures57]

Looking good!

[@PLASMA895]

People don’t understand it takes time to do editing and they complaining about not seeing next videos lol. 🤣

[@ronmack1767]

Good day Bus Life Family. Glad y'all are doing well. Thank you for all the work for producing videos. Where did you purchase your windows? If you don't mind me asking. Take care and God bless.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

www.tristatesurplusllc.com I advise given them a call. They have much more than what is listed on their website.

[@nocturnalpete1]

Gday just saying ok be careful not to upset the wires running to any emergency exits as they might stop ya bus from starting so test ya bus before you spray foam etc.

[@southernrebel159]

OK, I was wondering just how you got the angles in the ceiling instead of the curvature, lol. Y'all take care and YHVH bless.

[@jamesveach6918]

I have a question are you going to put mini splits in your bus I've noticed a lot of people that's building buses conversions are putting mini splits in to help heat and cool their bus home?

[@Wes1388]

running your wire through those holes you drill at the end is just another thing to worry about. you are taking the chance to nail through them or have a inaccessible place for failure.

[@TheBusLifeShow]

They won’t get a nail through them. I know they are there and will be carful. The chances that a wire fails is really slim. I have never seen a solid strait wire fail.

[@Wes1388]

Solid wire is better than stranded. I would suggest using some protection nailer or conduit. I've seen it happen more than once. Having to locate the break is an avoidable mistake. should of explained more, only trying to save you a headache.

[@locomotive3845]

Check on line for a wiring diagram(color coded) If available will be a god send, no pun intended.

[@18twilliams]

Some thin walls! Going to hard to cool and heat?

[@TheBusLifeShow]

They are over 2" thick. With spray foam it will be insulated very well.

[@thegingerbusadventures57]

tom williams, depends on what insulation they use. He could build it out but then you lose living space.

[@mthotdog]

am i the only one thinking that as a family of 10, they should keep both the busses... maybe just hook up a CV radio between them...

[@XxBanditNoah]

mthotdog true honestly once they have ten they can fit in a regular sized vehicle like an suv anymore and they need all the space they can get

[@fridab1952]

Aww your cat is so cute 🐾 The new window you have put in so far looks so cool 😎

[@eclarkmx]

Just to follow up with my comment.... If you look at the number of views you get when you talk about the build of the bus versus when you talk about something else, you would see I'm right. But good work with the bus and your videos!

[@TheBusLifeShow]

I understand, but we are not doing this just to get views. We are doing it to share our life.
