Trying to Stay Flexible | Building Our Own Roof-Top Deck | SKOOLIE BUILD

[@johnstuart8511]

I sure know that story: Misplacing tools (Now you see it. Now you don't. And I just had it in my hand). Need to relax, breathe in. Breathe out (Repeat). Thanks for another wonderful video. Love the team work. REGARDS

"Pre-Lunch Natalie hid the tape measure". So relatable.

Great job on the deck. I can’t believe how well you two work together.

[@adelaidavillarreal432]

Natalie super job you two rock

[@yolandaazua8919]

Excellent... Love how you two work together.

[@billridenour1]

Beautiful

[@chhook949]

Research planning measuring key components of a successful project your both hands on have some Mad Skills AMAZING! Think with Jimmy running to the store all the time leaving Natalie on project she could use a Spa Day! When things get challenging like how you push through (know it’s done but I’m still catching up😂) Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.

Looking great. In 7 months I only have seats removed and done lots of preventative maintenance n saving for new tires. Keep going guys

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! Luckily for us, the seats were already out when we bought our bus, although the chair racks that went under the seats took us SEVERAL weeks to get through, and was a really tough first project. Preventative maintenance is great though, and it’ll certainly pay off later!

[@eloyanzaldua1889]

@@JimmyandNatalie yes, alot of people tend to over look the mechanical maintenance. Try n learn to change ur tires without taking the rims off. Will save you money n time so u can get back to ur adventures yea.

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff guys Even got the penthouse view

Nicely done on the deck. You guys make a great team !

[@Hmd938]

Looking so good! I feel ya on getting discouraged, but just remember how far you’ve ALREADY come! Divide and conquer is truly the best strategy.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks for the words of encouragement! It’s easy to lose sight of that some days... But in the end, the most we can do is push forward. ❤️

[@michaelsimrell8575]

looking great guys, keep it up and the bus will be done in no time

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks!! We really hope so 😅

[@brianpeterson5559]

Nice job 👌 looks great good team effort. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

Y’all have done a great job on y’all’s bus so far! I know your finished with it as I watch your build videos but it looks great! Thank you for sharing!

[@Haeilifax]

That deck looks really comfortable!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! It is! 😄

[@tedduke1699]

I love the deck

[@rusty3379]

An awesome build video! I really appreciated the diagram you drew out to describe the deck, it perfectly described why you built the deck the way you did.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@debbiehurst8579]

Love the deck and the inside insulation! You guys are doing a great job!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Glad you like it! Thanks!

[@accident12123]

You're both doing really great.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Really appreciate it! 😄

[@dongilroy6503]

good job guys, best of luck on your build . One thing you might consider is drywall screws are very weak . You should be using machine (sheet metal) screws into the buss metal and wood screws for the framing . Hope this helps , enjoy the process!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! This is very helpful. We were really wary of the drywall screws and will soon be upgrading to the proper sheet metal screws!

[@TMCotton]

Love watching your videos but hate to think how much the bus is going to weigh when you’re done!!

[@r8edrv4fun65]

My "snap" isn't working... I still have a mess.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Haha keep trying!

[@cultivateyourcurves1711]

You two are doing awesome!

[@cultivateyourcurves1711]

I’m also incredibly accident prone Natalie, I feel your pain ❤️

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Haha, I’m relieved that I’m not the only one! 😂

[@cultivateyourcurves1711]

@@JimmyandNatalie I bought a Blue Bird TC1000 this weekend and I can’t wait to get started with my build. I’ll be following your progress and can’t wait to see what you have planned!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Awesome news! We’re excited for you! It truly is such a fun project with an even better payoff 🏔🚌❤️

I love the deck!! It turned out perfect! And so did the insulation! I do have a question though... did you ever find the tape measure??

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! And yes! We found it... eventually 😂

Keep an electric turkey knife around. Cuts anything and you have a better chance of not amputating your fingers!

Comment

[@wild13hawk]

Is it too late to mention that every skoolie build requires at least a small blood sacrifice? 🤔

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Otherwise, is it really a true skoolie build? 😆

[@wild13hawk]

@@JimmyandNatalie no, no it's not. And not more than an hour or two after I made that comment I was bleeding in my bus.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Haha yikes. That’s how you know it’s going to be a good build

[@wild13hawk]

@@JimmyandNatalie by the way, how long is your bus overall? It looks like it might be even shorter than mine!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

It’s about 24 ft from front to back, which means about 18ft of “livable” space behind the drivers seat. We originally wanted to get one that fits in a normal parking spot.. which I think we can still do with this one as long as we can find one that we can back into and where it doesn’t matter if we hang over a little 😆
