[@NoonaLoth]

it's like it's nice to live in a van, you have a lot to go to, you have your time, and in the beginning it's hard to fix the van but as time goes on you get better. from Phils Be safe always sweet couple.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Couldn't agree more ❤️ Thanks so much!

[@rhondawalker6732]

The dark Brown wood and Gray Tile work well together. :)

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much! 💚 We really like it too! 😄

[@dangriffiths613]

Great job on the subway tile. I love the way the you two are always so positive and smiling. Bus is looking good

[@neisabel86]

Great idea on the tv mount counter top 😍

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! We really hope it works out as we’re imaging it! 🤞

[@ginat12345]

Youre making big progress!!!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Big progress for a little bus! 😂 Thanks so much! ❤️

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Starbucks cups are super sturdy,, reusable for sure. I'm all for recycling.

[@noraverrone7657]

Really like your 2 kids in a candy store attitude! Jimmy, it takes a while, about a year or so and the black propane hose off the tank may get hard and stiff. If so watch for leaks around the crimp fitting. Think the water tank improvements was a good idea. Bumps and potholes won’t get you, but dips, especially in and out of parking lots with a grade will. Just go REAL slow! Nice work kiddos

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! That’s really helpful! I’ll make sure to keep an eye on the propane hoses 😊 And yes, we’ll be especially careful about any suspicious looking parking lots!

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff guys My wife wants to get that peel and stick for the kitchen

[@jaydegelder2964]

This is simply amazing.!!!!

[@genesnyder2985]

just found you guys recently now going back to watch all your build you two are doing a great job and if I may Jimmy you are a lucky guy to have a partner who is willing to jump in and do anything that's needed

[@billynnc1998]

You guys have got the groove on. One project at a time. Can't wait for that TV reveal.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much! Slowly but surely we’re knocking our big lists of projects out… 😄

[@markdemedeiros3239]

You kids are terrific. Bus is looking really good with an edgy vibe. Kitchen turned out fabulous Thank you Jimmy for putting the guard on the water tank, tonight I'll sleep much better. LOL

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much! We are in love with the dark wood stain 😄 And yes! I feel much better having even just a little more protection on the tank

[@jkabholat]

Great job on the water tanks. Like your tile.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much!! It turned out surprisingly well!

[@Nine-zx7jb]

So excited for you both!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks!! We are getting so close at this point! 😄

[@Haeilifax]

I really liked what you guys were doing with the transitions and slo-mo at the start -- looked like y'all were having a lot of fun with it, and the stained kitchen counter reveal was stunning

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you! 💚 We love trying new techniques to improve our videos, so I'm happy to hear it came across well. 😄 We love the kitchen counter as well! Can't wait to move in and make some use out of it!

[@steveg2509]

You two are awesome. Love watching your videos. Thanks

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much! And thanks for watching! 😄💚

[@seeyou1812]

the window shades are the best

[@philmickey7247]

Clear plastic protection? Oh yes, leave it on!😄 Thanks!👍

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Exactly! You gotta leave it on for as long as you can!

[@deborahquigley5064]

You both are making a great team! It looks so good! Very ambitious and creative too!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much! We're glad you think so! 😄💚

[@kaylapham7212]

I love seeing how far you guys have come, keep up the great work guys!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much! ❤️ We’re so glad to have you following the journey! 😄

[@mikesmith9133]

I seen the video of you having trouble with your bus starting I have an international myself it likes to drain the power out of the batteries just setting I fixed it by putting a battery cutoff switch on it and it works good now 🤗

[@JimmyandNatalie]

That’s awesome to here! Yeah it caused us a lot of trouble as well until we finally got a battery cutoff switch. We never did diagnose the drain but at least this fixes it!

[@johnstuart8511]

I am so grateful that I found your videos. Was running out of things of interest to watch . Must say U2 keep me glued to the screen. Thanks for sharing your story and experience making up your bus. (Looking outstanding. Home away from home). Keep your camera rolling REGARDS

[@aprilgriggs5071]

Wow!! You've come so much further!! So pretty!! Great job!! Excited for your next video! 🥰

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much!! ❤️ It's crazy how close we are getting! 😄

[@cultivateyourcurves1711]

I love the counter top and the peel and stick tiles! You are going to have one beautiful bus when you get finished ❤️

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much! ❤️ We are really loving the look so far! ☺️

[@MountainAdventures6]

[@commonman7776]

[@chunkyprepper]

Perfection! 👍

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks!! 😁💚

[@mariagreen4738]

This is coming along so beautiful ❤️ Everything goes together so nice.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you!! 💚 We think so too! 😊

[@hartmanartsource]

Looking good!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you!! 😄💚

[@OutsideAndOffgrid]

Love the kitchen! Countertops look amazing, Propane cook top and slow motion footage was awesome! We are right around the same place in our bus conversion up in Southern Maryland. Hope to meet up with you guys on the road somewhere.

[@darinanderson9321]

Looks really nice

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@allisonhurst724]

I absolutely love this video!!! The kitchen is STUNNING!!!! Y’all are doing amazing!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks!!! Love your support! ❤️

[@Ryanoutdoors]

WOW!! You guys are doing an amazing job!! Your skoolie looks great!! Do you have a PO box so subscribers can send you stuff? Keep up the amazing work!! 😎

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks so much!! 😄 It’s so exciting to finally have (most of) a kitchen! Currently we don’t have a PO Box, but that’s a great idea! We will let you know if we decide to set one up, but I’m not sure how it’ll work once we start traveling to be honest ❤️

[@Ryanoutdoors]

@@JimmyandNatalie 😅 yeah would be rather difficult to collect your mail. I am very excited to see the bus finished.

[@Buss_Journey1]

One more thing! If you run that kind of battery below 50% they get damaged! Glad you got them replaced for free! 🙏😄

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Hopefully we won’t have that issue anymore! And yes! It’s such a relief to know that the warranty covered it! 😄

[@NYTROeast]

What about insulating the water tanks for cold weather travel

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Odds are that most of our travels for at least 2022 will be in >40 deg F weather. If we decide to venture to colder climates we might rethink what we have 😁

[@gail-sw9xg]

Use construction adhesive on your tile

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We bought stick on fake tile, so it comes with a sticky back

[@gail-sw9xg]

@@JimmyandNatalie sometimes the adhesive they use, especially if the tile has been sitting in a hot warehouse, will fail. If that happens you can fix it with a tube of liquid nails.

[@juliazentner681]

What are you doing to seal the counter top from spills where the tv is going to be like someone drink or something

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We will probably use some kind of weather seal, like the kind that are used around exterior doors/windows. It won’t be a perfect seal, but it should at least give us more time to clean up any major spills (knock on wood) 😅

[@no_worries_van]

Nice! Where did you get your window shades? I need some!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thanks! 💚 We've been making them ourselves, and are super happy with the results so far! Here's a link to the video we recently made about them, in case you're interested in learning more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eabHqqyhpq2Zp7c

[@no_worries_van]

@@JimmyandNatalie ooooh yes I remember watching that and crying cuz I can’t sew lol

[@theskooliepad6095]

Just starting my build but having a similar battery draining issues. Do you happen to have a link to the kill switch you used and info on how you hooked it up?

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Sorry to hear that! Battery issues are the worst 😬. We bought the “Duralast DL20269 Battery Disconnect Switch” from Autozone. The switch does come with a helpful diagram but basically I added a 4/0 cable on the negative of my battery and inserted the switch on the negative line.

[@theskooliepad6095]

@@JimmyandNatalie Asesome! Thanks for the info!

[@djpWilson]

I can't remember, have you verified that your alternator is charging correctly? If yes, one other thing to keep in mind is to let the bus run for a while (or even better take it for a spin) for 20 minutes or so to make sure you recharge the batteries fully after having cranked a little to start it

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We technically tested the alternator once when we took it by Autozone a few weeks ago. They said it wasn’t charging correctly but that also could have been because the batteries at the time were DEAD. Although, when we took it to the mechanic they said it was fine… So either way, we plan to swing by in the next week or so back to autozone just to have them check it once more. I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞

[@bradhamrick9197]

Hi Guys How Are You Doing Today We Are Good Today

[@noraverrone7657]

Just a thought, we used the black ribbed sump pump hose for our drain lines. Comes in 25 foot section it’s very flexible, easy to install oh yeah it’s cheap, bout 15 bucks a section. 4 years and ours is holding up well.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

That's something we'll need to buy really soon, so we'll definitely check that out! Thanks for the recommendation! 💚

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Showing the kill switch??

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Good question… We’ve decided to see this kill switch as an “opportunity” to have an additional security measure, since we’ve heard that school buses are relatively easy to hotwire. Because of that, we didn’t show the location of our switch in the video, but there are a lot of great options for where to put one!
