    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Kels and Jay converted a school bus into a gorgeous rolling home on a tight budget (under $30k). And, due to their tall height, they raised the roof of their skoolie. Their home features a wood stove, narrow shower & toilet area, roof top deck, expanding desk & entertainment area, an innovative couch design, and an outdoor basketball hoop (regulation height). They now live nomadically and are loving the tiny life!

    Would you raise the roof if you lived in a skoolie home? Some do, some don't. Check out my skoolie playlist for more: ruclips.net/p/PLbxRepdOq2MlvsPXfJRsR-u0fG97jYeNs

      I would definitely do a roof raise, if time wasn't the issue. It allows you to make the aisle on the side & gives you more floor plans options. Makes the exterior look more like an RV than a bus, too.

    On a video, I saw a school bus conversion where they did use a window AC unit. They dropped the top half of a window down, had the
    A/C unit on a tray with slides on it (Heavy Duty Slides). Pull the tray in or push it out, no lifting involved. On the inside they had a way to lock the unit on the tray and then a tie down from the ceiling. Easy in and out and lock down for the road. They also had a piece of plywood cut exactly to seal off the window for flies or mosquitoes. Whole think takes less than 30 seconds. Have to have s lot of solar and fuse protection. But well worth it!

    Good for you! I’m impressed. Been looking at bus conversions for 2 years now and even convinced my wife we should seriously consider this option. (she thinks pontoons under the house is a better idea) Your set for all 4 seasons. If you find yourselves in Canada we have a few acres behind the pontoonless house where we would be happy to let you recharge. Wine and fire on us.

      I've actually have the same idea planned for my condo. My bathroom is between two bedrooms but has no natural light. I have planned to put in those glass cubes (I don't know what they are officially called) between the studs of the walls on each side. The glass cubes are opaque so they cannot be seen through but light can travel through them.

      ​@@willtato8778 Do you have some secret meaning that is not shared with outsiders when you say it is "not an actural island." The UK resides as part of a broken whole kingdom on two islands. England is one country sharing its landmass with Scotland and Wales. It is the same with Northern Ireland, the final part of the UK, that shares with the independent Republic of Ireland. Three parts of the countries on the Eastern UK island and the remaining country is at the top of the Western island map.
      Perhaps you enjoy being mysterious and confusing Americans who have very long family histories in and about the two islands. So, please explain your oblique meaning to us, Will. : )

    I can't wait to watch this a second time, maybe third, it's such a good video. The folding tv desk is such a good idea, so useful. The ceilings are so well done, the curved arch is really nice, so carefully cut.
    The rope ladder is great, maybe there is a way to wedge a bar with 2 hooks across the bottom to hold bottom ends together when climbing, put it away after you come down.
    Was not expecting the hoop, nice thing to have. I don't like tight places much but the bathroom looks pretty good, lol, the spy cut is funny. You can always put translucent film on it if it gets to be too weird, still plenty of light.
    And thanks, good old fashioned fun THOW build, I love it. Lol fun exterior paint job. 😁

    Its clumps with the deposits so you only need to discard the clumps.
    It holds the smell, usually comes in a 20Kg (40lb) bag and is just a crushed soft rock so it's 100% natural.

      I’ve been looking at all the Aussie Facebook pages and all the bus sale websites I can find and I’ve found that prices are pretty consistent around the $13k/ONO mark. I’m also more so looking at the 58/61 seater buses, which is basically the equivalent to 40”, so quite larger for full time living.. and hopefully eventually travelling once the borders are open to Victoria again 🤞🏻

    Also love the gift from your mom in the front window. 💖💖💖
    Also love the wooden ladder to the roof.
    The whole bus turned out amazing with all the custom designs. You 2 should be very proud of yourselves. Good luck on your journeys. 💖💖💖

    You see so many six-foot-tall dudes moving into tiny houses to be with their girl. That's love.
