Awesome job Meredith

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you so much!!

[@rhondawalker6732]

Nice job Miss Lady.! I was thinking.... Paint the Bus all white, with The Rails painted the pretty blue/turquoise Color( like on your Bay doors.) as the Accent color.

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you so much!! Now that is a neat idea!!

[@giulius7176]

Can not wait to see the reveal!!!!!

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Yay !! Thank you so much! Hopefully you like it

[@tweetybird4969]

You worked so hard.!!!!! 😁

[@GustheStruggleBus]

I really really did lol, thank you!!

[@shawnlacorte8976]

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Washing a 40ft bus by hand...👏👏👏 Great job, as usual!!

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Yeah it was quite the task! Thank you so much!!

[@bethw12000]

Good job sanding. But don't forget to scuff all the shiny spots with a scuff pad i.e. around rivets, top and bottom of rub rails, around windows, etc. Your paint won't stick around those areas if it is shiny. Keep up the great work! We really enjoy watching your videos!

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you so much! Those are some great tips!!

[@BEAdventurePartners]

I just wanna say... THANK GAWD your bus is the same size as our bus... CUZ if you guys can't get in to a parking spot... Then we can't get in. Ain't nobody wanna miss out on a dope spot! LOL We going to places we can ALL fit in! "No more school bus.." Kind of a bittersweet moment huh?!! The way you said it... I felt it, and remembered that moment! Such a strange moment in time. It's kinda cool how long you kept it, cuz you got to know it that way... THEN after you paint it.. It's REALLy yours!

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Hhahah birds of a feather am I right!! We will have to get creative with where we park but it will be possible!!! It was super weird seeing it without the school bus and other stickers, I had no idea that they were that noticeable, at-least to me lol! Thank you so much, it is not as fun working by yourself but like you said it gives you a great deal of confidence seeing what you are capable of! Thank you so much for yalls continuous support!!

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Now that is pretty cool! You sound like you have such an interesting life and have learned so much!

[@beckyjomiller2040]

Meredith you are a real trooper. I just tried to imagine hand washing the outside of my house (which is basically what you did) and I got tired just thinking about it.

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Hhahah Thank you Becky! You have no idea how tired my arms still are lol!!

[@danielvanmourik5247]

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Meredith good job it's not easy but I admire your tenacity, WD40 is also great for removing stickers although you have already done now. Well remember " prior preparation, prevents piss poor out come!" Stay safe John

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you so much!! That is a great tip John, I did not know that! hhah You got that right!!

[@jaimealvarez9242]

WD-40 also works to get sticky off

[@GustheStruggleBus]

That is a great idea!

[@mytube0969]

@@GustheStruggleBus I had to remove tape residue off of siding. Goo gone did not work as well as a foam insulation remover that I found.

[@rickdrummond2679]

"Damn!!!!!!" "Women!!!!" You the best

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you!! Gotta boost of self confidence after seeing myself achieve all that!!

[@MattThie1]

Be sure to use a good quality automotive grade paint, because you do not want to do all of that work plus stripping every two years or so...

[@GustheStruggleBus]

This is very true!! Dont want all that time prepping to go to waste!
