Incredibly Unique Roof Raise Using a Jon Boat - Solo Female in DIY Short Bus

[@tomwilliam5118]

What a brilliant idea using an aluminum jon boat raise the roof. However you thought of that was absolutely brilliant

[@steadmanuhlich6734]

WOW! What a beautiful, creative, and well designed bus interior! Love the Jon boat hightop too! But, I also like this young woman's attitude about her bus life, her resilience, and her choices. That is also beautiful to see (in any person, male or female, young or old). Brava!

[@truckerwife1980]

Absolutely!

[@elizabethrios7759]

Notice how she has no idea how it was built or the construction process because that was all done for her because in real life she's rich and this is her vacation bus.

[@elizabethrios7759]

And she obviously didn't grow up in the south or she would have known Jean's up ur lady parts are not ok! Big lip on one side small on the other! 🐫 toe queen!!!!!!!!

[@elizabethrios7759]

How's that for all the $ spent on her education and is not intelligent enough to avoid camel toe!

[@elizabethrios7759]

Sorry dude ur wrong and hard of hearing if u think that. She won a lawsuit even though she comes from $ !!! And she's rich but still is cheating planet fitness out of there money. .. and she 💩 poops in a bucket because everywhere else is to dirty for her!!!!! She is the poster girl for an Eco fascist!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@veglady46]

This short bus is the best conversion ever! It looks so much bigger and is so beautiful!!

[@gypsybelle4757]

The shapes, textures and colors in this home on wheels are just beautiful!

[@shiralleehaggart72]

Sarah your bus build is amazing and Beau is a beautiful dog. I like the fact that you have a record player on board as well and your collection of LPs the whole bus looks very cosy and sitting in bed reading your books must be like a form of relaxation as well more so when it is raining outside with the sound of the Rain.

[@calvinsmyth]

Charming! Like when elements of the outside are part of the inside design -i.e. the mountain range heat shield. Love the axe., too. Appreciate the honesty about bus life. Bo looks to be a best bud. The best to both of you in your adventures.

[@elizabethrios7759]

Stop the lies dude's u just like her 🐫 toe and her 1970,s hair!!!!!!!!!

[@backtothepast1850]

Wonderful creativity. Reaching your childhood goal is rare. Glad you found happiness. Living alone can be a challenge, but for me, and I'm sure you, the freedom is unbelievably wonderful.

[@margreetanceaux3906]

Adobe casita - by far the best source of inspiration! And so sensible to go for vinyl ‘tiling’ and making it work by a protective coating.

[@crazyeightsable]

What a cute little bus!.It's simple yet has all the comforts of home.I love the closet.

[@vernieplummer5148]

I moved into a camper from a huge house four years ago, One way I found to save space in the closet was to switch to those wire hangers with velvet on them. They reduced the size of my hanging clothes by about half.

[@jenna-here8737]

You can also ROLL CLOTHES into small logs store in totes or in hanging shoe holder.. ( which is great for lots of things actually!)

[@jenna-here8737]

Yes, bulk of the (hanger width itself) takes up more width than a blouse or regular shirt! Great idea with the thinner hangers!

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

True! And they look better being exactly the same.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

@@jenna-here8737 I never roll anything. Unless I'm.looking for wrinkles.

[@rachelhgibbs]

I love her honestly and forthrightness about the challenges she's faced with bus life ....go Sarah!

[@Chris-ut6eq]

What a wonderful idea of using the boat. Nicely done! Very impressed with the elegant simplicity of your build. You have done an amazing job! Your record player station is awesome! Great attention to detail. Self validation is an important life lesson. Thank you for talking about that. Your curved doors are nice! Also thank you for talking about your 'highest highs' and 'lowest lows'.

[@jenna-here8737]

BOTH- "Adorably-Creative" young woman & her Cozy Schoolie-Build. Rock-On Little Sister! You remind me of myself SOooo much when younger ( looks as well )..1970's-'80 as a tall skinny kid/teen on my School Bus imagined getting rid of all the seats (loud kids too Lol) & turning it into my private studio apt. (with pets) It's still going to happen by golly!!! 😂💕🤗 Hugs!

[@CurtisDrew1]

I am pleased to see such a downhome build. It's obvious it wasn't professionally built, and that is such an encouragement to other who want to create something they can live in too! I'm a retired Professional and am researching videoes for my Grand Daughter, to encourage her to step out and give it a go. The John Boat idea is a really good idea. Your Rig looks so much bigger than it is. You go girl! And next time you are passing through North Central Texas plan to drop by my shop and spend a few days.( North of Fort Worth in the Country) My wife and I would love to help you finesse a few things you don't have the tools to build. I've got a full shop and we are both retired, so I have the time to donate. Would be fun. And I have hook up and a dump station next to my shop, so you can still have your privacy. Seriously, if you're passing through and need a safe place to spend the night and take care of some issues, come drop in. Many of our Class A Coach Friends drop in and spend a few days making improvements and doing maintenance on theor Coaches and toweds. So you're more than welcome when you pass this way. All our kids are grown and gone, so we enjoy the company.

[@l-train2098]

The jon boat is truly the most impressive idea I’ve seen in a while. Awesome bus build.

[@reginabossong2351]

You are an inspiration to a senior citizen who wants to create her own nomad life. Your creativity and know-how are impressive. Thank you!

[@lisaarmocida2690]

I am also a senior wanting to create a nomad life.

[@johna.a.9829]

The brilliance of using a metal boat as a roof extension notwithstanding, it was your story and how you presented yourself that is the most impressive. I admire you for what you've accomplished. I wish I was your neighbor!

[@Progamerjay100]

This is one of my favorite tours on this channel. Sarah's home is so cool and she is an inspiring human.

[@dreymedler9087]

Hello. I think your bus build is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I wish you and Bo many many more happy years of traveling.👍🏿

[@Foxys10]

Such a unique and cool build! I think you’re the only one that has used a boat to add height to your build. Chef’s kiss. Love it!

[@elizabethneville3086]

You have such a wonderful way of looking at things! Thank you for sharing your home with us ❤ 🐕

[@seano1334]

What a Beautiful story . This is the most natural tour ive seen. Definitely give her jewlery a peak. I bought a ring from her and i absolutely love it. 🤙

[@robinw285]

Love her ambition and skills. She's created her vision and enjoyed all the seasons that have come along with it.

[@mfsolutions]

wow I have been trying to figure out how to do this... making the flange on the Jon boat is the trick I was missing!

[@katzcrow640]

Sarah way yo go.. Love the ceiling it looks so Great your whole Bus is a Beautiful Comfy Home. You an Beau are the Best Team.. Enjoy Lifes Adventures Proud of you ❤

[@terrymathis4213]

Hi! Love that u have a pet as a companion. Sometimes ubetter off. Loyalty is important and being a pet owner is wonderful. U did a great job on your bus. Safe travels.

[@gardenlevel7385]

I love this, especially your can-do and just--do-it attitude! Beautiful, practical, delightful. Thanks for posting.

[@bigjm83]

Super cozy build, I like your taste in decor and outlook on life. Everytime you think you’ve seen it all in builds you catch something else that inspires you. Cheers👍

[@cq7415]

A cute bus for a cute girl. Love the wood stove. Keeps it nice and warm in cold weather. Thanks for sharing.

[@hollyvick181]

Love that she kept her records!❤

[@mickclark4647]

Best build and narrative I have ever experienced.

[@barblynch4065]

That is so awesome. I'm in the process of finding either a bus or camper van. I'm retired. I want to follow the sun. I have heart disease, so I'm concerned about building a bus out, so camper van might be my best option. I'm an artist & I went to art school & took a metal smithing class & LOVED IT. I want to travel & paint landscapes. I have a small emotional support dog that goes EVERYWHERE with me. You go girl! Your living the dream.

[@sidneyjhurst1958]

Hi, I never thought of a boat top. What a great idea. Be safe out there. I’ve been VanLifing for over 2 years

[@elainepearman2309]

Love the way you have set the home up to suit you. Especially love your wood heater. You could cook on that too, well done. Enjoy your life.

[@jesuscross9]

Awesome build! Boat on the roof...pure genius. Wish I would have thought of that when I had my Ford Transit Connect. I hated getting dressed on my knees so I stripped it and sold it to get the ram promaster I have now. The boat would have been a much easier solution. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

But it's going to mess w structural integrity, is it not?

[@dustman96]

Pretty genius idea with the jon boat. Nice build.

[@gregoryclark7566]

Your schoolie is really cool, Sarah, as is your dog Beau. Can really appreciate your record collection, wood stove, inverted boat roof, and "casita" decor. You are such a pleasant and honest person. It is impressive how your struggles have forged your amazing outlook on life. I am older, and have lived through some crazy stuff too. Keep following your dreams, Sarah. You won't regret it.

[@lulumoonwoodmurakami8734]

Really inspiring and I appreciate you being so real with what van life /Skoolie life is like - challenging but very enriching. I wish you happy travels.

[@janinafisher101]

She is an inspiration! She's learned a lot and is very self-aware. This kind of independent really hones some good skills as well as self-reliance. I love seeing all the young women who do this on their own. Her bus is really well set up! And I really get the toilet thing. I only have an outhouse, but it's mine and it's fine! So glad she was self-assured enough to share about it.

[@rodneywillis9837]

Remarkable young lady. You are living the free life I would like to have.enjoy life is short. God Bless.

[@maxiwodelaluz9659]

You are a remarkable person. I'm impressed with your creativity and conversion. Our place isn't totally scenic but your welcome to visit and dock.

I love this and the wood stove over a diesel heater is great! I ask my dog's how I did, I get alone and not able to share ❤

[@beanice1044]

You can always share with me. Whatever it is. There are tons of us being "alone" together. Welcome!

[@felisaboettcher4448]

You did a really awesome job on everything and very good idea w the boat.

[@hollyvick181]

Cactus skeleton! So beautiful!

[@lisalove3917]

This was a pleasure to watch. I really like to see the videos where an artist has been involved in the design. I am an artist as well and can appreciate the little things that don’t always jump out. Sarah put so much thought into her build and it really showed. Some of my fave things were the rounded corners on the closet door (as well as the mirror on the inside) and how huge the interior seemed! She was sitting near the wood stove, while Beau was on the bed. Honestly, it looked larger than some of the apartments I have had (with three kids and me!!) I wish I was brave enough, and had the carpentry know-how to do this. I just retired and would love to take off with just me and the dog.

[@jameslegrand1452]

Awesome Sarah! Love all the changes you've made. One of the warmest builds I've seen. PS 5:57 Look there's Sky!

Enjoyed every word this young wise woman spoke. May you be blessed with a very happy life and may you be blessed with earthy life mate that cherishes you. The school bus the way you have it would be enough for me as well. Very nice work! Go to the gelding sales. There was a time I met many of working ranch cowboy silversmiths. Jordan Valley area. The Grest Basin cowboys love the flash of silver and color. Good Luck!

Great bus great story. Good luck with your jewelry making. But think of other things you could do for side hustles. Maybe think about an herb business or making sauces from herbs I think as people living the single nomads life we have to dig within and find our talents good luck God bless

[@lisalove3917]

Great ideas! You also mentioned that you forage for your own herbs to use. I know that a lot of people would probably pay for coaching to help them do exactly that. They would want to be taught what herbs to use, where to find them or what to grow. Might end up being a very lucrative (and easy) income.
