this is the only bus i have seen with bunks, let alone, triple bunks. thank you so much. we are looking for this to travel, not live in full time yet. but just travel.
❤️❤️❤️❤️I love what you said about how it's more important to the both of you that the kids be able to help and can say that they were a part of this, rather than having things perfect..I believe your bus will be perfect..afterall, it's made by your family with lots of love❤️
Math lessons via construction is always the best. Geometry didn’t make a lick of since to me until my dad helped me build a city miniature for a school project.
As a parent I completely agree with your philosophy as it’s more important to have the kids get involved and not worry so much about how the end product looks. Great to see all the progress.
You have really been busy! I really like the white wash stain for the walls inside. That will help to make the bus look more open and brighter inside. Can't wait to see the cabinets go in with the counter tops. I was looking at the Good News Bus length compared to the new bus. How much longer is the new bus? Keep up the good work - I'm really enjoying the videos. It is just amazing to watch this bus transform into a beautiful home. And Julie is looking amazing. I am just so impressed with everything that she is doing work-wise on the new bus. My daughter just had her first baby 10 weeks ago and I know how hard it is getting around while you are pregnant and how tired you can get. So kudos to Julie! Hope and pray you all get over your sickness and feel better soon!
GREAT TO HEAR THAT THE WHOLE FAMILY IZ ON YOUR WAY BACK TO BEING HEALTHY AGAIN. 👏🏽..... Oh WOW DAMN, YINZ DID GET QUITE A'BIT DONE SINCE YOUR LAST POST. WELL DONE 👍🏽..... AND CONTINUE GOOD HEALTH TO ALL LOOKIN 4'WARD TO NXT VIDEO POST...
I take my hat off at this family my god I couldn't even Imagine how to home school and live with all these kids and another one on the way what??? But god bless them they are doing it and there bus look better than some of my friends apartment,I been watching these guys for a long time they are awesome god bless you guys and keep up the good work
I thought that the baby had arrived... Earlier! Thank God, that was not the reason! Nice to see you guys again, cause I love your videos. Sorry to hear about the epedemy ... Hope you all be fit in no time.
Really helpful video! Im switching my bunk beds from the back room into the master room (which is in the middle) in my rv and i really think this video is going to help me out. Thanks again
y'all are doing an amazing job. Thank you for showing us how to do the bunk. I am going to have to build a bunk in my bus above my bed in the back and I'm still scratching my head over how I'm going to do it because it is going to be full size and I don't want to lose my windows. I don't know how Julie does all that work being pregnant well God bless you
Y'alls bus is looking amazing. The bunkroom is going to be really nice. We need to order new mattresses for our bunks in our travel trailer. God Bless Y'all and hope everyone is well now.
Love that blog great info on how to. And much better lengthy vlog And the bus is looking awesome sauce. Hoping on one of your tours you all stop in Davenport Iowa. 🤓
IT LOOKS GOOD i been missing you all on my feed lately! Glad everyone is better!!! I do have one suggestion after a failure i seen on another build. The plywood was not strong enough and cracked under the weight of the person. ( talking bout bunk beds) you might want to add some support slats under the plywood for extra support
I have enjoyed watching your videos! Your family is very cool and you should be very proud... all hard work has paid off:) My feeling is that you guys are not afraid to do your own work. Real DIY. I am a hydraulics engineer, welder, and do a lot of my own projects. If you are ever on the west coast and need a place to park the bus, we have 5 acres in Camas WA, and a wood fired pizza oven. We would love to make pizza for your family.
Oh wow! We would love that. We would like to make it to Washington as I was born in Seattle. If you know of any carpentry work in the area let me know.
This is perfect, great job. I'm wondering what your height is between each bunk? I'm doing similar in mine and I'm at 73" total ceiling height (MC9 No Roof Raise) , less a 12" cabinet holding 3 drawers on each side (think that's too tall?) Leaving 60" or so to work with, less 5" or so for the mattresses leaves the kids with 27" or so at best for room. Is that too little?
If they outgrow their bed they are in trouble as that is a standard bed length. It’s called a narrow twin and is the same size mattress as what truckers use is their sleeper cabs.
Are you planning to stack 3 bunks on each side (6 total)?? That would seem like an awfully tight squeeze ... Would the older kids even be able to sit up on their beds without hitting their head on the bunk above?
What's poppin guys ? As always it's looking A damn mazing , I still just love that RV door... Any supports going in the middle of the ply? It will help take the weight ...
No center support as we wanted to give head room. I got in the bed and bounced around and it seems pretty solid. Down the road if I think it will be an issue I will add support or thicker plywood.
The Bus Life I was just a little concerned on the outer lip it sits could have done with being wider, as you say see how it goes but as always looking good. Stay safe get well soon all of you.. I'll use this you tube to message now..
... Great Job, Guys !! Thumbs up. You'll soon be feeling better & the bus will be rolling for Jesus. He will bless you even more. Be safe, & very grateful. Hopefully, we'll see ya next week ;).

Something the entire family can be proud of and say that they had an important part in building. Plus, the kids are learning great skills!
Your video may have saved me some headaches! We will be building bunks into our bus and I like the way you did it!
Amen such a blessing to see you all God bless you all and the Lord give you all strength and much blessings
Sorry you all have been sick, hopefully it will and don't come back. Doing a great job!!
Great JOB rolling it on and then brushing it out WoW JUST LIKE A PRO ! ! !

Great work 👍🏻
hi guys i'm back.i love your videos.
Good job on the bus
I wishthat every kid has its bank bed
nice !
Always enjoy your videos! It would be cool to meet you guys. I’ll be in the Orlando/Tampa area in July! God bless!!

Winner winner chicken dinner
“The Bus Life Subscriiber, What’s half of 35?”........ Sorry, it must be buffering. 😆😆😆
Awesome . first class ! any bets if Julie is going to have a girl or boy ?
Beautiful quartz! I have four boys. Thanks for all the bunk bed tips..
May I ask why y’all did wood all over the walls and ceiling?
Do the kids miss having the privacy curtains they had in the Good News Bus?
This is perfect, great job. I'm wondering what your height is between each bunk? I'm doing similar in mine and I'm at 73" total ceiling height (MC9 No Roof Raise) , less a 12" cabinet holding 3 drawers on each side (think that's too tall?) Leaving 60" or so to work with, less 5" or so for the mattresses leaves the kids with 27" or so at best for room. Is that too little?
27” is perfect. We are a bit under that.
🍦
Your boys are gonna get so tall. What are you gonna do if they outgrow the beds
If they outgrow their bed they are in trouble as that is a standard bed length. It’s called a narrow twin and is the same size mattress as what truckers use is their sleeper cabs.
Are you planning to stack 3 bunks on each side (6 total)?? That would seem like an awfully tight squeeze ... Would the older kids even be able to sit up on their beds without hitting their head on the bunk above?
Laughter Smiles and 6 beds for 8 kids? Did I miss two beds? Or even one because I know a baby can co sleep.
So close to being done! Way to go guys! How long do you plan on living on this bus!?
To bad you didn't built submarine bunks. They have storage under the mattress.
We had no additional space to spare.
Do regular size twin sheets work on these or do u have sheets that are for these narrow twin matresses?
What's poppin guys ? As always it's looking A damn mazing , I still just love that RV door...
Any supports going in the middle of the ply? It will help take the weight ...
No center support as we wanted to give head room. I got in the bed and bounced around and it seems pretty solid. Down the road if I think it will be an issue I will add support or thicker plywood.
The Bus Life I was just a little concerned on the outer lip it sits could have done with being wider, as you say see how it goes but as always looking good.
Stay safe get well soon all of you..
I'll use this you tube to message now..
👍👍👍👍👍
Where did you get those mattresses
Very informative video. I like the 3 bunk beds on each side. I’m curious will 3 bunk beds fit on a regular Skoolie without the roof being raise?
Depends on the height of yoru ceiling. If it’s about 6’ 5” and you bottom bunk almost sits on the floor then yes.
How much space did you put between the bunks?
How many inches do you have between each bunk?
Very nice project guys. I’m just curious, how much money have you guys put into this so far?
We are keeping track but don’t have a number yet. We will announce that when done.
Can I get a link to the mattresses u used?
Cot size Memory Foam bunk mattress: amzn.to/2sl6vTa
Where do you order the mattresses from how thick are they
Link is in the video description. ☝️
... Great Job, Guys !! Thumbs up. You'll soon be feeling better & the bus will be rolling for Jesus. He will bless you even more. Be safe, & very grateful. Hopefully, we'll see ya next week ;).
My bus is 6.5 feet tall, and I don’t want to raise the roof, do you think a double bunk could still work?
For sure!
Nice,but too bad that those bunks did not have some sort of window..but I guess if you are "little" you dont really care.
We considered it but really we want to bunks to be just for sleeping. There will be a lo of room up from with huge windows for sight seeing.
yes, but I was just thinking about claustrophobia happening while going to bed. I know I would not like it..but you know your kids :)
What is the height between bunks?
Off hand I think it’s 21” from the top of the mattress to the bottom of the bunk above.
What are you going to do with your old bus when done and remind me why you want to live in a bus?
We will be selling the old bus. We live in a bus because it’s awesome!
your small drone link to amazon is broke, what kind of bed did you get?
one more thing, do you need to have holes in plywood to let mattress breath or is that not really true
The mattress link is in the description. I look into the drone link.
Sweet, thanks...would it be able to double as a couch seat cushion or too soft?
I think it could.
nice, I need to build a couch to cover my mid bus heater and double as a bed for visitors and be a com fee couch with a back cushion
I am a Christian
granite is nice wasn't created by god lmao it was created through compression during the time the earth was forming
First
i missed u guys i always waiting for your videos
