If I might make a suggestion: get everything in the bus cab functional, i.e. all the lights, the heater, horn, etc, and put it all on a step-down transformer so you can run it on 110V. You could even make the headlights part of the shop's lighting system.

[@isaacclark6749]

Great idea. The lights will be fine on 12v ac so all they would need is a step down transformer.

[@AJCsr]

I was thinking it would be premium to hang a bunch of Christmas lights in the cab. At Christmas time all they'd have to do is flip a switch ! 🎄

[@agentcrm]

You can get fairly large 12v transformers. So there's not even a reason to completely rewire it. Even just a small battery and charger would be fine.

[@aserta]

Could prolly run it all off an old 12V UPS system. Those get dumped on fleabay all the time from hospitals and such.

[@hairyneil]

The whole time I was thinking it'd be great to have the headlights working! Even some really crappy low power bulbs so you just get a nice glow, would be a nice finihing touch.

[@tinkerne-round4079]

You guys should build a walkway to the bus so you or friends could sit in it anytime. Maybe put a projection screen on the opposite wall and do a drive in.

[@RandysRides]

Great idea !!

[@gucu]

Along with a kettle, Earl Grey tea leaves and mugs!

[@EdwinOlding]

I am going to spend a lot of time editing in that new bus!

[@jeffheins6624]

Is it going to have a rope bridge or a climbing rope? And blanket upholstery?

[@corey6393]

I probably have an original dome light for that in one of my parts boxes if you want it. I'm right in Sandpoint, not far from where you got the garage door.

[@BradleyBeeksAdventures]

Didn’t know you had a channel, just subscribed and will be checking out out after I finish watching this video!

[@Toddeth2005]

Please make the headlights work on the bus........

[@mongowilson]

Was totally loving the music in this video. It just seemed to fit perfectly.

[@orangeracecar996]

You guys should get the lights working on that bus and have a remote control for it! That would be sooooo sick!!

[@dylanhigginbotham1598]

Damn was just about to say that lol

[@splob1981]

i was also about to suggest that they need to make all the headlights and signal lights light up with a remote or lightswitch

[@wadepowell6054]

Need to have a sound kit in it to so it the radio for the shop

[@wadepowell6054]

Need to have a sound kit in it to so it the radio for the shop

[@amcustomfab]

This definitely needs a boardwalk from the loft to it so it can be Edwin's editing spot in the shop

[@EdwinOlding]

I think so

[@klinenator]

Podcast from the VW cockpit

[@keithtee6501]

And one to VW cap… it’s too cool not to hang out there

[@magnushjort1279]

Rope bridge dude.

[@Brian-zo5rw]

yea, and make the headlights work again.

[@boogaloo8849]

Read a previous comment about how good your guys content is and that is literally what I came to comment. You content and videography is unmatched. Type of content, amount of content, length of videos, how often you put videos out all of it. I watch a bunch of different KZbinrs with similar content and what you guys do and the back yard engineering, just incredible channel you guys have here. I love it keep it up!

[@amusegelee]

what other you tubers do watch I am interested

[@danmerrill4176]

You need to hook up the headlights and the dome light on the bus so you can turn them on and off That would be premium !

as a disabled man... i truly appreciate how much yall "cease the day"! yall kick ass!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯

[@isaacclark6749]

Same.

[@mtb_prodigy4856]

Grind Hard is for real fans, not media NPCs that have the attention span of a mosquito. Their length, quality, and creativity is unmatched 🔥💯🇺🇸

[@Aderin.]

Attention span of a mosquito could agree more 💀

[@broodaiamdewey622]

Except mosquitoes are persistent 😥

[@domydadonkey_ddd2858]

@CboysTV tho

[@BamaScarface]

You're a plumber like me....them Diablo blades are the truth!! Cut a car in half!!

[@MadMazdawg69]

I put Puddin’s Fab Shop in the same category as well. (As far as the way you describe GHPC) they are both must see, entertaining throughout the entirety of the video no matter how long or short each “episode” might be. They should get together and build another ULTIMATE BADAZZ Tow-Rolla maybe take her on the Gambler. Can’t take Puddins away from him but they should pick one up (they’re cheap) and do a collab?!?!

[@WShedd]

You're videos and shenanigans make me happy

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

And knowing that makes US happy!

[@nicksmacro]

The FPV shot at 30:38 is a masterpiece in itself.

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Thanks man! Glad you appreciate it

[@WShedd]

thank you for having a legit episode length video, no halfss under 20s round here

[@keithherring5462]

You should build some mini stacker post lifts for the power wheels!

[@markstone2877]

That would be cool.

[@amberaerojack5800]

Oh I already know this episode will be sick and it was only uploaded a minute ago... and a VW Bus... as a tree house... inside a workshop. Crazy as always guys

[@stevo43068]

I really, really, hope you can get the story of the van. ❤ Vicariously enjoying life here, you guys are the Best!

[@EdwinOlding]

We are going to give it our all

[@abigailmcdowell4248]

the shop being brown rather than grey actually looks so nice

[@GooseGosselin]

As an electrician, I can definitely give a thumbs up to Ethans plumbing, nicely done! Supremely happy the wood stove made it in as well, wouldn't be the same without it. Awesome to see the shop coming together, thanks for the great camera work to show it!

[@quakxy_dukx]

So if an wiring electronics is electron plumbing as is suggested by Ethan’s drawers, does that mean plumbing is fluid wiring

[@Marckusmtrmth]

Probably one of my favorite non build video's that has been put out. Loved all the updates on the shop and the projects. Really Cool.

[@AcmeAce]

What are you talking about non build video so far they built three things wood stove heating and radiant floor heating and art/office bus hanging around.

[@AcmeAce]

You know what would have been really sick if the bus was on rails and rolled from one side of the loft to around the inside of the shop to the other side of the shop. But I do like the ramp for easy access and a screen across like A drive in theater. If you don't do the coaster bus then I vote bus drive in theater.

[@AcmeAce]

That is my premium ideas

[@bisket2003]

Yyyyyeeewwwwwwwww! Love you guys. So happy for you all. Stoked to see the firetruck finished at some point! And all future builds are going to be most epic!!!

[@samblasingame5930]

Grind hard is officially fancy! I'm not sure how long I've been subscribed for but it's at least a couple of years and I got to be honest I never thought y'all would be so damn popular. I'm glad for y'all! Keep grinding!

[@thatguy.42]

If your boiler air intake is inside, you'll be taking heated air and venting it to the outside. You're creating a negative air space that is drawing in cold air from the outside to replace the air used for the boiler. It is highly recommended for efficiency to use outdoor air for any gas appliance like that boiler.

[@user-flypastthemoon]

Also, if you’re going to be using chemicals of any sort, they will be drawn into the boiler. Especially epoxies, paints, adhesives, etc. will cause premature wear on all components. As a plumber myself, I’ve replaced stainless chimneys within 6 months of installation because of the intake being taken from inside. Love this channel!

[@thatcanadianguy3964]

came here for this, well said

[@bobboger1647]

Especially with grinding dust im sure

[@Likeboss120.-_]

Dude, this video only felt like it was 10 minutes long. That’s how awesome these videos are.

[@quakxy_dukx]

What the… I didn’t realise it was 40 minutes

[@harlandmcnall2579]

As a 30 year plumber that plumbing looks good better than I have seen some so called actual plumbers do

[@ipoopmuffins]

the colonel and the barbie camper are by far and away my favorite builds on youtube. theyre perfect in my eyes. also really looking forward to the fire truck build, been waiting for that one.

[@CRneu]

Congrats on all the hard work coming together to allow for such an amazing shop. Y'all deserve it.

[@anthonypenton762]

Gotta make the head lights work!

[@Argus-ni6ye]

Always looking forward to an upload from grind hard best channel ever imo

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Ameritude]

Love the shop guys You guys have to do a podcast in this thing lmao

[@angelmew2492]

This is going to be amazing

[@opencabinetpantry]

This is the awsomest thing I have seen today 😂

[@mikl911]

YAY finally some plumbing!!! I've waited years for this.

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

The VW looks absolutely brilliant! Wire up the headlights to a switch for some epic workshop accent lighting! Keep doing what you do 😁👍‼

[@Blakesvz]

Hey guys! I am watching from Australia and I am blown away by how awesome the things you guys do and how gifted you are in craftsmanship. I will watch this channel to the very end to see the awesome machines you build, you’ve just got another subscriber!

[@ChadPowell02]

I love that your priority is first, Decorate shop with VW bus... Ok that's done now we can focus on heat.

[@Lordmaniax357]

I think in the VW Bus you should convert the headlights into some shop lights or flood lights. I've seen it done for those pieces guys have hanging on the walls in the man cave.

[@bigbaby1177]

Memory serves, the last update/cold start had them parked in the hole to be the shop and now actually the shop. Great update looking forward the the builds to come!

[@etiennemotz]

you should make the front lights work!

[@jeffreysmithster]

Your drone skills are next level! Also, the garage is looking brilliant. What a playground!

[@jasonvanmeter8124]

I’m a garage door technician and you guys installing that full view was satisfying great option

[@jdougn2255]

Yes, all that glass looks great! Hopefully, the bottom glass doesn't get busted too soon.

[@PalmTopSebby]

i feel like you guys should add in a custom vacuum system for each of your machines for easy cleanup!

[@comesaillard8797]

Yeahhhhh ! I love you guys, always having news insane ideas. Love from france

[@shaharsdechen2537]

i get so excited every time

[@brendendavies8202]

Glad I can say I’ve been a subscriber of your channel for the past couple years and you guys have never disappointed. Premium quality and endless adventure.

[@P-RattsGarage]

Just a suggestion on your intake for the boiler: with all the cutting, grinding, welding. You might want to run it outside so that you are not sucking all that crap into your new boiler. Love your content! Keep the projects coming!

[@darrinlauscher6994]

Love the bus on the wall . Ever thought about it having working headlights ??

[@inmyopinion6836]

Hippy buss ! ! ! OH, hell yeah , BROTHERS! Next, hit up Mike Patey! You NEED one half of an airplane inside the highest spot of the ceiling, crashing into the room! THAT would be .... PREMIUM! ! ! ! 😁...... 😉

[@trevorsmith9251]

Great to see where you guys came from to where you are now, even the plumbing in the workshop is a work of art 👌

[@rickyfraser9686]

This new garage space is exactly what you guys needed 😎 I’m ITCHING to see more of that monster truck chopper build!! see you boys next week 👀🔥

[@Miekkajakunnia]

great video... cant wait to see what you guys work on next

[@SPHYNX99752]

MATTS OFFROAD RECOVERY is doing a challenge that I think you fellas could do well in! Your builds are great, and if you are bored... well, it would be an awesome opportunity to promote yourselves and the channel!❤

[@EvilGav]

The fact the fire truck can fit inside the new shop to work on it, must make the idea of working on something that size through the winter slightly more appealing. Great video as usual.

[@HayWoodsandWetlands]

Actual plumbing content on Grind Hard Plumbing. Now I've seen everything. Haha. Shop is looking tight, gents.

[@user-sh5bq5hl7t]

im sure hoping the camera zooming in on that tank means you guys are gonna finally do it!!!

[@henrylike9211]

Would be cool if you make the headlights to normal lamps.

[@TylerGreenR]

These are the best episodes. I LOVE shop build videos.

It would be very cool, if the Headlights of the old VW-Bus work again🤩

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Hi guys, Thanks for the tour in your workshop and with all the projects you’ve developed. It’s really amazing especially the space in your new workshop. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

[@Petr0Balabanov]

Now the most premium thing would be to hang the remaining part of the hippie frame at the opposite side of the wall! You can also make a flat bed for it to act like a little roof

[@travispelfrey8940]

Love the bus. Would love to see functional headlights and some light as well, along with a small walk to get in it.

[@hyercollins313]

I love the 2JZ mower; it’s the project that got me hooked on the channel!

[@madscientistlife]

Striking the balance of technical accuracy and skill exhibition in contrast with just a solid chill vibe probably isn't easy. Keep up the good work.

[@ImConstantlyDrunk]

The new shop already feels like the old shop. It's getting full of stuff, grinding dust everywhere, dogs running around, OSHA approved work positions and safety protocols. The space is going to make bigger projects possible and you deserve to have a warm shop. It has also elevated the work on the channel, and I mean the elevator that you installed.

[@bobboger1647]

Had to bring OSHA into the picture didn’t ya?! Haha

[@memorris2]

The jazz music is perfect for background. I love it!

[@LawlessOffroadAdventures]

From someone who followed from the barbie jeep build, you guys have gone far and met many ❤ love it

[@danmor44]

Y’all are amazing! Keep up the great work and pumped for the future epic builds!

[@nkcbooker]

great video to go back and see all the stuff you guys have created. Also good to see the shop as a whole. Great job Gentlemen!!

[@greenlit802]

I've been watching for a long time and I finally got my plumbing fix. I like a slow burn.

[@wadesrage]

Every video has the perfect music and educational/ inspiring content! Wish I could message these guys and show what I was inspired to build because of them! Awesome crew!

[@markholmes2023]

I'd set up the VW bus with speakers and have a projector on the roof and a remote raise/lower screen so it could be used as a mini cinema.

[@ryanbrown2020]

Loved watching you guys progress over the last few years👍🏻 top tier work as always 🔥

[@williamboling8639]

Always a bitter sweet moment when channels get to this point of a new big shop, sponsored tools etc. I love it cause you guys have more capability for bigger and cooler projects but sucks because it becomes unrelatable for most that can’t afford the crazy tooling or the space. I hope you guys handle it well and Im sure you will. Mighty Car Mods and Vice Grip Garage seems to have done it well , still sometimes focusing on basic tools and budget projects as well as the no holds big projects. Either way you guys should be very proud of yourselves and I think I speak for many when I say I look forward to the future of Grind Hard Plumbing!

[@Ghettoef]

i love to see all the work an progress great work you guys . cant wait for more too come

[@davemasek]

Just got to say you guys have the dream job. Hands down

[@jordangrapes5072]

I appreciate the fpv drone shots and freestyle tricks

[@WMSnowLawnLtd18]

you guys need to make a home made lift for your builds then working on the floor but out of all the vids you guys have made over the years this one is by far my fav!!!!!!!!!! so pound of yall growing an growing big!!!!! love the shop

[@Fabrice1970]

Can’t wait to see the amazing vehicles you’re going to build in this new shop

[@ungarsdanslegarage8659]

Wow! Everything is hard work but you deserve it ! Can t Wait future projects!

[@mocchihedron8341]

If you find another bus, you could put it on the other side of the wall as a sort of awning/observation deck.

[@themag221]

jesus Christ is Ethan's shop so delightful. I get so giggly every time i see new additions !
