Retired Couple's DIY Raised Roof Skoolie Built Like A Small Apartment

[@paige6028]

I have followed this beautiful couple for some time now & they have got to be the most pleasant, kind, generous, laid back, artistic, gifted, talented people I've ever seen. They are so genuine & true to who they are & their beliefs & that's so rare these days. I am so glad they were featured on your channel. I've been married almost 20yrs now & just turned 48....my husband is my best friend & we have owned & operated a small plumbing & electrical business for a little over 10yrs & we spend every minute of every day together & we fall more & more with one another every day....I imagine this will be us soon & they inspire us to get out there & see this beautiful country that we have been blessed with. We can't make it happen fast enough in my opinion. If any young couple is watching & reading this, I have this to say to you, if ever you wanted/needed an older couple to look up to, to aspire to learn from, to show you what being happy & in love looks like then this couple is definitely who I would look to & follow. Of course they're not perfect but they sure make growing older & living life to the fullest look enjoyable & easy. Great job y'all! I first fell in love with your bus then with both of you. I love listening to your beautiful music! Thank you! Prayers for safe travels & all that makes you happy! You deserve it!

[@Kathy-zx5bu]

You must be a lovely person. Thank you for your comments. I am 70 and will definitely follow this couple. God bless.

[@denisewiebrimmer454]

Omg this couple is adorable. Love the part where they can reach across and hold hands when they are driving..

[@paulagibson2672]

You two are amazing!!! I have one regret after seeing your video, that is if my husband was still alive & I showed him your story, I know I'd be able to talk him into building us a bus & travel. I lost him 2 years ago after 47yrs of marriage, he was & still is the love of my life, my world crashed around me. He was 85, but healthy. He was suppose to live to be 100!!! He owned & drove semis before I met him so he didn't really care about taking trips. When we got together he owned a construction company & worked right along with his crews. After about 30 years he decided to go into home repair & remodeling. He specialized in restoration of older homes, that was what he really loved. He did alot of different things before construction, in other words he was a jack of all trades & master of them all!!!!! IF ONLY. I'm 74 now & on a very fixed-income so I guess it's just a pipe dream. Who knows??? Thank you very much for showing me that there's still might be a chance. ❤

[@jeanrenobeautifuljustbeaut5953]

So sorry about your husband, know you miss him. Peace, and may God's spirit always be with you.

[@elizabethgigi8911]

Well, this interior is absolutely beautiful and yet functional. Storage spaces everywhere, and a soaking tub. Very impressive build !

[@fireyflower6643]

I LOVE your home on wheels, its the literal blue print that EVERY school bus conversion should follow

[@rachierich8015]

This is a very sweet couple. Husband mentions wife’s name on every sentence and sounds like teenager when talking about ‘we hold hand together when driving….!’ and etc! They do live like youngster with all the passions and energies they are embracing. Surly can feel their contentments and joys of the free-sprite schoolie life! Awesome! 👍🏻

[@patricialewis-neal376]

4 years WOW! Awesome, hope you two enjoy your traveling around and meeting new people all over. Great memories to always have and cherish. 🙏❤️🙏

[@richardbarth918]

They are too cute. They hold hands when driving. Adorable.

[@evelynmcgowan2085]

What a great couple. Can see the love.

[@HOPEbus]

What a pleasant lovely couple 💗 There bus totally looks like a full house . Great use of space 👍🏽 Thanks for sharing 💫

[@101beechbum]

Love this tiny home but I think I love this couple more. They are adorable, I just love them!

[@rodmcintire7319]

What a Beautiful build, very well thought out. You have the room for full size appliances and think that alone is a very smart move, you can pretty much find them anywhere, if they go out. The white color makes everything so bright and cheerful. I could go on an on, just fabulous 😍 .....But the Best part of the build, is You Two!..... Keeping the Faith and Believing you can and will overcome 🙏 ✨ Thank You Both, it's been a Joy 😂❤ God Bless!!!

[@suzannegriffiths4795]

Lovely home, and even lovelier people. I love the idea of the southern gospel gatherings! Bless you!

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

Couple is so adorable and Sweet... God bless both of them

[@adammeredith18]

VERY good point on fear!! I love your rig! My daughter and I are 2 weeks away from taking in the good life. I also was thinking about doing the radiant heat. I'm a remodeler of 30+ years and modifying my career as a mobil RV tech.

[@sandrafromtexas1957]

ABSOLUTLEY THE BEST BUS BUILD I HAVE SEEN!!!!

[@LG-gw6xw]

This is the most beautiful RV I’ve ever seen. Feels very open. This is one I could live in.

[@gothicpagan.666]

By any standard the build is exquisite. All by a utterly delightful couple.

[@shirleycarter2451]

What a lovely couple. It's great to see normal sized appliances and seatee, it proves you can adapt to live small but not giving up all your luxuries. Xxx

[@cookiemonsta_za]

Only in the year of our lord, 2022 could I find myself saying this: That is a GIGANTIC tiny home! Coming from an astro van, I see this luxury skoolie the way I used to see estate homes! Outstanding space planning and beautiful decor!

[@Veebaby_2052]

You two are just the absolute cutest!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!

[@Ashlee1985]

What a lovely couple! I like their attitude!

[@robertcory9871]

We're a skoolie, and we have a question" How do you get water from shower, tub and sinks to gray water tank if it's under the bed. We love your skoolie. Hope to see you on the road some day.

[@pjt3887]

Pretty sure they have a pump.

[@pjt3887]

Found this on their channel. He bought a pump. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noHFgpmniMaAgck

[@LifeisaJoy]

It is gravity flow. The gray tank is lower than the sinks. We do have a smaller gray tank beneath the bath.

[@leahunfeigned5955]

This has to be one of the loveliest couples shown. They are so cute and the bus is really homey.

[@karenmcneill2602]

Great bus and extremely lovely couple!

[@lillysora]

Love the design, I’ve always had the weird urge to live in a buried shipping container and I think this floor plan would translate beautifully to that idea

[@tomwilliam5118]

I saw this bus conversions 3 years ago nice

[@shandaquiles4424]

Love the cozy ambience of this house on wheels

[@marieslabbert6009]

You are really living a wonderful life, traveling and seeing the world with the person you love spending your time with. You are truly blessed. The bus is beautiful and functional, everything you need is right there. 💞💞💞💞

[@BeeKay4444]

Love their vibe. Such a cozy and homey bus. I wish I could talk my hubby into this life. My soul is just CALLING for this life. Wish me the luck to find my way to this group and this life.

[@jem5562]

Just watching this program improved my attitude. Lovely feeling home and well described. And the narrators are absolutely a joy. These two and baby laughter can cure our world. Don't let all those legislators get fat on great meals whilst they talk and talk and stall. Have law makers [force them to] watch about solar power, practical skills, appreciation, caring and respecting, life pleasures, cooking, learning skills, exchanging helpful information with other people, and doing pleasant behaviors. This couple is a role model for couples of any genders and shows mutual respect and enjoyment.THANK YOU

[@tannertanner8769]

I'm so impressed with this little home. Very easy to forget that it's on wheels. And what a lovely couple.

[@bonnyphotinos4262]

Sweet couple and full of information! They obviously love each other and want to share the joy!

[@puppycat58]

Wow, your home is amazing....your kitchen is beautiful 😍.....you have lots of space...and u used it very well...Be safe God Bless

[@padelicious9093]

Great bus layout and lovely couple. Thanks for the tour.

[@joyhouse2334]

I used to watch there videos then they just disappeared off my list 😢 they are the cutest sweetest couple I’ve ever watched good to see there doing well

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

This is probably my most favorite bus build. If I can ever convince my husband to live this lifestyle, this is how I would want my bus to look. What I like about it is the fact that it is like living in a small apartment. I would want a walk-around bed and would probable not have a tub but that's about the only thing I would change.

[@shenstrong1297]

Wooow your bus looks so much like a house 🏠 am loving the look.

[@billiekennedy131]

This was amazing. Thanks for allowing us to visit with you. God speed.🙏

[@aaatt85]

This kitchen tour makes me want to go there and cook a 7 course meal with her. I love this woman!

[@MeditationParadiseASMR]

Beautiful home! Thumbs up Always 💖 The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness 💕

[@nitewriter9468]

You guys are a joy to watch. I'm wondering two things But before that I'm so glad to know there are Christian Skoolies. I am almost 72. My house and all inside is up for sale. We have one possible on the hook. Now 1 as soon as I get sold I will be getting a bus. My son thinks he can build it. He's really smart, a Christian,his wife 3 kids home schooled, do everything their small Baptist church needs, he never has a minute. I cried to God once that I needed a home that I felt comfortable asking the pastor to lunch. Told God after a health scare, that I'd live here forever if he wanted and gave the problem to him. Very soon after that we moved from our 87 acre farm to 124 acre with a long ranch house I wouldn't be ashamed to invite any any body to lunch. And it was right across the highway from the country church, pleasent Grove Baptist church where I still attend. We had to move or loose it because of my husband's 3 by pass. This time I fought everyday to pray for God to handle this. I had had my nice house and would where he said. The day we sold that we found a house in nearby town and the the sale of our place and buy this one at the same table same day. I did not expect another nice house. But God gave it. Now my husband and my mom who lived with us ,died about 6 mo. apart. Again I'm trying trust God for my next house. My son said Bus. I loved the idea. I always did want to. But, my home now has all my books on the wall. 11 wall units. The house is furnished with a handycapp bath and shower with a bench that will hold my weight. Like Jim I have too much in front of me. I am losing some though. Now, my question. 1. I'd like control of my build but, I really don't have I think, very many years left. My husband died ,a 30 vet, in 2019. I will need a good shower that fits me and my needs. A small 5 window, will not fit what I need. I have driven big farm trucks and might could handle 28-30 feet. But only the small bus would fit in a parking space. I have an electric wheelchair I havent been able to use, no lift. I can walk around the house and even into church. From car up the ramp and inside to 2 ND bench, is about 25 feet. I can do that. Trouble is that's my limit at present and I can not stand in one spot. In 15 sec I'm in great pain to stand. So no standing at the counter waiting to pay, etc. I still believe I can do this and need too. We are 40 miles north of Abilene TX. I'm living at my son's. My house is 6 blocks away. My Christian younger brother just gave me a wash/ like yours only the smaller one. I feel that answers the question. Should I get a bus. Sorry so long winded, but do you know anybody that has a started or complete bus I might buy. My son really wants to do the electrical in my bus and he has the knowledge to do it well. Also I will have a CB and a ham radio with a good tower system for those and internet. If you know of any or have any ideas that I might consider, I would welcome. 2. I want to be near other Christians. I'd like to name name my bus something like granny's Sunday school bus. Teaching is my pastion. I have a degree in Criminal Justice from MO State, Springfield. I also like to encourage teen agers.

[@nitewriter9468]

Hit the wrong buttom got you back now have 2 buyers my son just said. Pray for thanks. Oh I'm also a gospel musician. Sing play guitar and some mandolin and other stuff that won't fit in a small bus. Son says God got this . Thanks for listening

[@carjam49]

This is one of the nicest bus builds I've seen. Great job.

[@joyceuzzell9040]
