That bus came from a town close to where we live. Small world moment.

I love how he was telling us how to do this like it was normal to buy a 10,000 bus and turn it into a tiny home XD

Suggestions: insulate the floor walls and ceiling . Trust me when it’s hot it’s hot and in the winter it’s cold. But everything is nice good job sir

THE OLD OWNER WATCHING HIS HOURS OF WORK GETTING TRASHED BE LIKE : 👁️👄👁️

A very nice clean simple start. A friend gifted me a school bus. I've been intending one into my life expecting that I would find one at a good price. I guess you could say I'm flowing. Now I need to develop some skills like you. After reading the comments now I need to learn some mechanic skills. Nevermind, "UNIVERSE , SEND ME THE RIGHT HELP FOR THIS PROJECT"!

Suggestion for the guys trying it: Rust is the worst enemy of this type of vehicles. Always check the floor, walls and roof. Look for leaks or damage. Check the structure that holds the metal sheets and try to fix your interior structure to the steel structure (instead of the metal sheets). Unfortunately this may mean removing the floor and part of the walls. I recommend it and also look for mold. The old insulation might have some of that also. I'm not totally sold on screwing the wood beams to the metal sheet. I would prefer to create brackets and weld those to the structure, paint everything and the bolt the wood beams to the bracket. Always put a circuit/fuse box if you are mixing big metal boxes, water and electricity. You will be driving and things might break or get loose damaging the installation. You might suffer a traffic accident and a bus fire is no joke. Finally, consider that a big metal box will change dimensions with the temperature (interior and exterior). You might need to consider this in order to avoid warping or breaking wood. That also plays an important factor on reducing the noise while driving. On the mechanical side, check suspension, axel, brakes condition and lubrication on all those points. Consult a diesel mechanic and hear their ideas about the project. You even might take advantage on the original electric installation, or neumatic lines included on the truck.

Can't help but get the feeling that some of these "design choices" were made to save work, not because of the aesthetics..

It’s so cool to go back and watch this again, this was the first video I ever watched on your channel and I have watched almost every one since. You are truly one of the best YouTubers out there

This Build Is SUPER Impressive, The Bath Room Is AMAZING!!

Before you get too deep into this project, I humbly suggest using Dow Corning Foamular (or similar) insulation board inside the gaps in the wall. It's easy to cut with hand tools and easy to apply with liquid nails adhesive. If you care about the gaps, you can fill them in with a few cans of Great Stuff spray foam insulation. Besides making the interior more comfortable, it will pay for itself by reducing the need to burn diesel to run the air conditioner.

Lmao all the times where you said I didn’t remove something to keep it original I just kept thinking maybe it’s just too much work

I'm from el reno, I've literally been on that bus!

First I was worried about the fact that he didn't change any window. I thought of all the nergy loss when heating or cooling the bus. But then I discovered that he didn't even insolate the floor or walls. This bus is gonna be a pain in the arse to cool or heat.

While you were painting, this reminded me of a PCP addict that was asked by his daughter to repaint her bedroom. So he got all jacked up on wet, took 20ngallons of paint, and literally painted everything in her room. Wall clock, book case, books, floor, windows, bed, the potted flowers....

You may want to consider adding a fuse board because if something goes wrong it will take out all the electrics and risk damaging the power supply.

"These screws are self drilling" first thing that popped into my mind "CITY BOI! CITY CITY BOOOIII!" self tapping screw. Lord😂

Call this the landlord special bus. Painting over half the stuff in the bus and jerry rigging the framing to get it attached to the bus. I like it, its just funnily similar to how slumlords "renovate" their rentals.
