WATERPROOFING Shower Walls With REDGARD * Skoolie Conversion * Gus The Struggle Bus

[@conniel186]

Hey guys, I miss seeing your vids on here. I hope everything is going well for you both and you're just enjoying a long break. I hope eventually you can give us an update on your life and bus. You've really inspired my husband and me and we're living on our converted skoolie now and still working on getting things done. Blessings!

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Wow that is so awesome! I am so glad you guys are loving it, thank you so much for your kind words

[@conniel186]

@@GustheStruggleBus thank you so much for responding! Yeah, we've been doing bus life for about 4 months now and are really enjoying it! We actually just sold our house on Monday so we're officially bus lifers! It's very freeing! I hope you guys are doing well and I look forward to seeing an update when you're able. Blessings!

great video 👏 thanks for sharing

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Of course! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@alfredritcher]

Very cool even if you find mistakes you had the guts to do it so congrats it all looks good to me

[@GustheStruggleBus]

We like to learn as we go and show the mistakes and how we fix them! Thank you!

[@gaedikus]

My gf and I are in the process of cutting out the seats of our bus, we both super enjoy your videos :)

[@GustheStruggleBus]

That is so awesome! Thank you so much for watching

[@casid9929]

I would cut an opaque shower curtain to size and hang it to cover windows while you shower to block peepers and deflect water away from window ledges.

[@GustheStruggleBus]

That is a good idea!

I just finished following these steps and I'm ready to tile our skoolie shower as well. Any idea on when you guys are gonna tile yours? I might wait to see how you guys do it, since you are a pretty reliable source! ps: we've got our AC unit out, our full plumbing & electrical system working and our ceiling done all because of you guys' videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to document your journey and making the instructions so clear and easy to follow.

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Wow that’s awesome thank you so much!! You have gotten so much done!! We are sure about tile but will post as soon as we do!

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

It's coming along! Well done.

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you so much!

[@watahyahknow]

about the part on the showerpan that hasnt got a lip , it might be better to fill the opening under the board with silicone , then tile over it and silicone a bead along the tiles too , i think that gives the best protection against leaking through

[@natasharose6889]

This is what a master tiler told us.

[@GustheStruggleBus]

We can also add that as well thank you so much!

[@natasharose6889]

The redgard is supposed to be the thickness of a credit card ... use the whole container and a roller after the initial brush on. I am so glad to see y'all waterproof the concert board!!! 🥰

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you so much for the tips!

[@natasharose6889]

@@GustheStruggleBus I know it's unsolicited advise ... I have a bad habit of that but y'all are so rockin the build!!

[@jamesonalexander5410]

You guys are great! Im mid build in NY and your videos have helped!

[@GustheStruggleBus]

That is awesome! We are so glad to hear that!

[@thegeobus1]

Pro painter! You guys rock! I am still struggling to get my interior walls out of my shuttle. Saving these for one day when I'm ready. Thank you!

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you so much!! Demo is a hard phase so don't stress, you will get there!

What what!!

Why do they call this stuff "Red Guard" when it looks pink!? Does it really turn red at some point? Maybe they need to call it "Pink Guard" 😂You two did AMAZING putting the waterproofing together! We like how you have an "emergency exit" bottom opening window in the shower! That'll be nice to let in a breeze during a hot day while cooling off in the shower. It looks SOOOooOOO spacious! We're truly impressed how you put this together with the thoughtful placement of the shower head up in the top edge so that there's plenty of head room to have a nice shower rain down from above! We imagine that you'll probably have one of those wands on a hose also, so that you can wash Joey easily. We're looking at different wands available that won't fall with the movement of the bus, so we're curious to see which one you guys go with. It's soooo cool seeing your build come together! You're going to have the perfect tiny home on wheels before ya know it! Keep it up! The struggle is real but the payoff is going to be AMAZING by NOT having a mortgage (or rent) when you're done! Just fuel & maintenance costs (which can be minimized by staying in a spot longer.) We love following you two and supporting your build! - Brian + Erin

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Hhaha right! It does dry red so that might be why! We actually really love how the shower turned out even though we were both stressing out about it! We have shower head picked out with a want attached so that will be perfect! Thank you guys so much for always being so awesome!

[@beckyjomiller2040]

Your painting technique reminded me of the Karate Kid, lol.

[@GustheStruggleBus]

I learned from the best!

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

Great job, guys, I would use a larger tile if your going tile that way it wouldn't take as long to tile it.

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thank you! Usually it is not a good idea to use large tile in a situation like this because they crack easier with the movement!

[@islandwitt1]

👍🏻😁

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Thanks!

[@theresahartman7465]

Why not just use the rest of the RedGuard to paint the other bathroom surfaces?

[@GustheStruggleBus]

I could do that! I think I was just focused on the shower area for now!

[@samrooney6905]

You're going to get water down in your insulation under the windows in the shower

[@GustheStruggleBus]

We will be adding caulk and good sealants in the window cracks so we hope not
