This week was a very big deal in that I finally started building (out of order) the walls the for cabin on my DIY houseboat. This is my official declaration that the fun part of the houseboat build has begun!

About me: I decided to jump on an opportunity to buy a school bus for $1000. After 2.5 years of building and a couple summers doing bus life, I sold the bus and began building a tiny house boat from scratch. My hope is that with a couple years of practice building under my belt, I can do a bit better of a job this time and build something that actually floats 🤞

For everyone pulling their hair out over my chosen methods: once again, I am using the materials I’m using because that’s what the plans call for! I’m not out here thinking I can design a boat and I’m also not out here trusting people in the comments over the designer (who actually built and uses this boat). Please relax
a zillion thumbs ups! Can't count higher than that :)
You're awesome
From the poem IF by Robert Kipling.. " IF you can keep your head, while all others are losing theirs and blaming you for it" The universe has a way of turning around and coming out good in the end for each situation. When you get frustrated while focusing on small details in life, take a step back and remember to look for the bigger picture. Also when frustrated about larger loads on your mental plate, focus on one thing or issue at a time. Our minds are vety powerful and can accomplish incredible things. Hold fast and keep moving forward 😊
do your thing girl, love watching your progress!!! got me wanting to build my own lol
Just a few things, if you need materials go to the contractor's desk and order all of what you need. If you are getting the last 10 boards of something, you are getting the last 10 boards of what 50 people picked through and would not take. When I get boards, I usually find I will only take every other one, kicked the rest out.
Best Emma quote from the video, re boat fitting on trailer? "You guys Do know that I have a Tape Measure?" 🧐 😂😂😂
Staring at what you have done is normal, abnormal if you do not. Examining what you have done is half the fun, plus you can often see the mistakes you did not previously see and can decide what comes next.
You’re an amazing young woman. Hats off ! I am a tradie with about 40 years experience I wish I could have found an apprentice with just a glimmer of your potential
I highly recommend using liquid nails construction adhesive instead of your Gorilla glue. I've built more houses than I can remember and can attest to the durability of Liquid Nails
Gorilla Glue is great if you use a semi-wet cloth to damp the glue area first. It's a moisture curing glue.
Cascamite for me!
You may not have the best building sense yet, but you have 10x my motivation and drive. And that will take you above and beyond.
I truly believe that the reason I subscribe to your channel is that your attitude towards your projects and your life in general is so peacefully gracious and full of questions ... without any doubt about your end goals. I applaud your approach to life. A very magical, yet grounded, way to move towards your dreams. So much respect.
When you said you know I've got a tape measure. LoL. Thought that was so good
The best part of the week That board at the begiining was cupped. They say in the lumber industry a perfect board hasn't made up it's mind, yet. The most stable wood is quartersawn As, you see in guitar tops but wood cut that way is very expensive Since there are very few boards that can be cut that way in a log
7:40 the glue I recommend is Cascamite.
It's shelf-life is appalling & you have to mix small batches from powder but it holds for decades. I've been using it 50 years & never had a joint fail, the wood breaks first.
You can use it as filler by mixing in sawdust.
You might try a planer/hand plane. That would help fix your issues with uneven boards.
Love your fortitude! Two suggestions. A corner round router bit with a bearing guide makes quick work of rounding edges. A set of different sizes is a good investment. Also, after you mix epoxy, spread it out in a paint roller pan or cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy disposal. This gives you a much longer open time and delays the exothermic reaction. Hope this helps.
Trudging along Emma! Its funny because as I work on my Bus Build I think of you all the time, back when you Built yours, and DAMN I do that same popping thing you do with your lips while I am working! Your Adorable and Awesome! Stay SAFE and Remember, we all Learn from mistakes. Have Fun with this Build, Thats what IMPORTANT!
That red color is amazeballs. You'll never lose your boat in a parking lot! As a long time viewer I have to say that's it's really fun to see how much more confidence you have to take on ambitious projects. You are becoming quite the accomplished maker. I'm still a little sad about Birbie but at least I've got my "Hopefully it works" Birbie t-shirt.
Awesome work!
I’m loving that you wet the wood for the gorilla glue. (You know how many people don’t..)
It has to be done EVERY time for it to hold and bond properly.
The foaming part sucks though when you gotta keep wiping as it pushes out the sides. But, that’s what creates the barrier.
Awesome job on your builds!! By yourself at that. Keep up the great job you’re doing.
Emma when you are using polyurethane glue make sure you use clamps with it plus the nails because that stuff expands a lot. Keep up the awesome work on your projects.
Loving the build. If you have a real lumber yard near by, you can get far better material for only pennies more.
sometimes less!
You are what I lean on to work on my bus build, dont lose this drive in you! Im going out today into 110° weather to do some welding for my roof raise
Hi Emma
Long long time subscriber since beginning.
Just want to say may be your best thumbnail pic of yourself in along time.
You look absolutely beautiful.
Be safe and keep biulding
I am with Lucky-Lucy, on this one. I was wondering what was different, I watched part of it again. It's the smiling, lack of stress and happiness! I love the new "Magic" Emma! LOL
Awesome vid and your building skills are growing. That boat is gonna be sweet!
Out of those 3 May have one. That be perfect and the other 2 will be different from that 1, so you need to work one for the 1 year you use all the time.
You are quite enjoyable, Emma. I loved the tape measure comment, also.
I loved the look on your face when you walked around the stern and saw the wall you had raised.
Most excellent job your skills are excellent 👍 you're doing a good job an excellent job I am so proud of you and so happy for you you're doing so good keep up the good work you're devoted fan😊🙋💖💕👍
Just watched all the videos up to this point. Looks great, keep it up!
Give the Lowe's employees some magicmind
😂
WooHoo for magic mind! I'm getting so excited with your progress Emma. Keep it up. 😊😊
A brad nailer is really only good to get things tacked together, then use more secure fasteners for strength. Brads are only 18 gauge wire...not strong enough for final assemblage.
Emma, you are one in a million ❤
You really need a flat table... perhaps a quick little build project :D
Or at least some straight boards on sawhorses
"All l I have to do is do all that again, except for the places where I messed up" haha funny! It's looking great!
It is looking so cool.
The boat is really starting to take shape. Looking good too. 👍
I can't believe you're doing all this without a table saw. I'm so bad with a circular saw if I tried what you're doing none of it would never work
Sweet progress looks good. Mine has some modifications off from the original design, one is all windows hinge up. In Oklahoma, the more air flow the better. We are hitting 100 degrees over the next couple of days. I like the red. I've prepped my sailboat for painting. I painted the keel candy apple red and fixing to paint the hull above the water line red also.
It’s so great seeing how far you’ve come since the bus build - it’ll be odd getting this sort of comment from a random stranger on the internet, but I’m so proud of you. Can’t wait to see the USS Birbie set sail! 🚢🎉
Go Go Emma. Great job.
I'm sure you'll start running into more people that watch your videos. Funnily what drew me in was a recommendation for a car video when you were rebuilding the camper top I've been hooked ever since. I know it gets frustrating sometimes learning how to do certain things or being irritated at imperfections. Remember it's all a learning experience, you'll learn what is better, what you prefer, tricks to save you time, and that experience will carry over into every other project. I love watching you because you are a go getter. Keep up the hard work it will pay off.
You sure are beautiful! With that said.... I realy enjoy watching your videos. I can't wait to see you launch Birbie!
Emma get yourself a pair of bull nose wire cutters for pulling out nails they work so much better than niddlenoses or side cutters you can get them at habor freight,Lowe’s,HomeDepot,ace hardware,
I happened across your channel. I have most of the skills to do this and I would be a little scared to try. Honestly you’re pretty amazing! Can’t wait to see more!
Youre doing fine. 👍 Try using a planar to level your board surfaces.
Wow, it's been a while since you been this, and please Emma take this in a positive, you have been this hyper about the build. Its great to see you this pumped 👏
i respect your guts to do what most men and women would not try good for you keep on keeping on thnx
I want to build similar, so this is a great watch out for/tutorial... I have never build a boat or a bus for that matter haha. Keep up the great content!
Only use Titebond #3 glue for boats. It's the best!
Hats off to you. I think you might want to think about a table saw for your next investment.
I know it's frustrating to make a mistake, but the thing that makes you a good craftsperson is recognizing that something didn't turn out how you expected and going back and fixing it. I think you're doing a great job.
Is there a proper hardwood-type store near you? I can't imagine the frustration of trying to build a boat out of big box store wood. If you get a flush trim/pattern router bit you could set your template on top of the wood and use the router to do things like those curve cuts. Very low-cost addition for a tool you already have and a game-changer for cutting curves. Every cut comes out exactly the same that way too.
Keep plugging along your making great progress kiddo it looks great so far 👍
Maybe look into a thicknesser . It will not only make stock to size but it could take the bow out of your lumber
Beutifuly houseboat.
You CAN use a router for the top of the windows. You just need one of the 'fancy' ones with a ball bearing on the shaft. Make a slightly thicker template, clamp it to the part you want to shape, and make certain the bearing goes against the template. Also, something I read somewhere; Don't let the hunt for perfection get in the way of Good Enough...
hey Lady i seemed to have missed the second coat and the flipping of the boat! grr!
EYES, EMMA. PROTECT YOUR EYES!
Great work, once again, mate. Keep it going,
Just do like every contractor I know does, the safety squints. 😂
@@dieseldawg9144 🤣 you hjave to go through 4 years of apprenticeship where I'm from to master the safety squints, though.....
I hope the paint go on the boat is Water Proof, so it would not come on off when gets into the Water. In the past I work, help building a Wooden Cabin Cruiser.
You are amazing! What a labor of love!
Can’t wait to see how she turns out!!
Practice with the warped wood, good call.
Try clamping your joints before fastening them with your fancy new toy! 😊
That gorilla glue is gap filling especially if you follow the instructions and use water on the surfaces to be bonded. And trust me it is strong strong holding glue!
A couple large "wood screw clamps" will improve your life as a craftsman young lady. Love the channel. 👍🏽
I agree, and damp the glue area of really dry wood with a damp sponge/cloth first, it's a moisture curing glue.
Yeah, tape measures. I have at least six & can never find one when I need one. The more the merrier.
If you don't trust the glue i can recommend titebond blue this is weather proof woodglue has a working time of 5 minutes if you need longer go for green this has a longer working time i used it for my ceder strip canoe, had to fix a mistake or 2 and found out that the gluebond is stronger than the wood itself.
It's not gap filling though, you need really tight joints.
@@helmshardover that is true, thanks for the addition
Hey just think when you have it done you say and this is the house that Emma built lol
Emma, great what you do, you are a great lady, I wish you good luck with the construction👍
You need a plainer to get the boards nice and flat.
Great job, Starting to look like a houseboat.Those airless nail guns are awesome.
I am going to start saying I need a little Emma I love watching your videos so entertaining
Love you and take care and stay safe
Slowly But Steady Near Complete Ur Homemade Houseboat Emma Is Coming Along
Your doing great. What an adventurist.
Hi Emma it's Tony I like to suggest that when you cut a board lengthwise you should put another board with two c-clamps to keep you going straight use the other board as a guide so your length cut is not wobbly
Perfection is wonderful however draining and time consuming ... May You Stay Well and Happy
Magic Mind taking effect in the great north west, boat builder is the blame for this snow balling effect... Thanks for Sharing Emma at this pace it'll be in the water in no time.
After the last video I was really looking forward to this next video and seeing some footage of you rolling the hull over, after I seen it already sitting on the trailer I went back to see if I missed something. Maybe you weren't able to film that or didn't think the content was interesting enough to make the cut, either way I still enjoyed seeing you continue on your journey.
Emma did you ever coat the inside of the hull it needs to be sealed water tends to set in the bilge all the time you also need a good bilge pump 🥰
Love your videos, great job.
I watch your video's every week, would be nice to bump into you at the store. LOL...Anyway, keep up the great work Emma!!!!
You're doing great! Take the time to build a nice workbench (copy one form youtube) and it will make your life much easier.
Outstanding you go girl!..👍
I would be glad to come help anytime but that stuff you have on the ground during a good portion of the year you know ❄️ I’m just not going anywhere where it’s normal to see it I’ll stay where it’s warm but great work and it looks amazing
Your Boat is looking great! Your doing great with or without ,The Magic Mind Shots.
You got it looking good, Emma.
Very nice work.
I think you should try Natural Spirulina Powder
Yes!!! Great progress *and* you got a sponsor!
Happy for you and love seeing how good this boat is starting to look/come together. I'll come from Vancouver to lend a hand anytime in August or September, although it looks like you'll do fine on your own.
Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Coming together quite well, Emma.
Boats looking real good. By now you be ready for the water. Most of the 'haters' on you tube don't have a life so try to push their worthless lives on others, just ignore them
Really enjoying the Houseboat build. You’re doing a great job. Love your attitude and (sticktoitiveness). Is that even a word? Of course it is. 🙂 👍🏻 👏 Really nice videos.
Your boats coming along nicely! Keep going, Emma!! Youre inspiring me to build as well. ❤
Awesome videos keep them coming
beuatiful video
Your first video of your boat build popped up on my recommend video list and when I checked it out I saw you are building one of Roy.Schreyer"s Dianne's Rose designs. It is a lovely little house boat and looks like a lot of fun to cruise on.
As to your building prowess, you are doing an amazing job and I love seeing young people tackle these kinds of projects and be so successful. Had to subscribe to see the rest of this project. Best wishes for a very productive week ahead.
You are so freaking awesome. I would look at those directions and 🏃♀️ run!
I like your video.
Love the fire engine red.
Yes, I do like your boat, getting interesting. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Power tools rock.
Caffeine, in any form, is the enemy of restful, restorative sleep
12:53 "You guys know I have a tape measure, right ?"
Doing a pretty good job!
The boat is going to look nice
good to stop for afternoon tea
I am not sure if this helps? I have been building one thing or the other. I have never found 1x4's that are absolutely square.
Do the nest you can and as you go along, pull them into square. :)
I'm looking for a product that I wanted you to see before you built w/ plywood but you're way ahead of me.... lol, I had been
looking at different materials for a boat build when I added you as a channel to follow. I had just talked to these folks over
the last 2 weeks but now it's gone? I'm looking at everything like you are & I worry about even marine wood products but if
you fiberglass or seal them really good you'll have years of travels. If I find it I will drop it here. peace & GB
i so want load up my truck and come help you, but i remembered this is how i learned, there are no mistakes
4:40 I don't know that I would pay money to have my skepticism reduced or even eliminated.
