  • Hey lovelies! 💕
    soo this video is just a little -take you with me for a bit of van building life...
    its not all go go go , but more - little by little
    And the essence of this video shows that a week can go by and you dont perhaps complete a job!
    My names Josie btw 😊
    And I have been building this bus for ... a while now ..
    slowly but surely it will be finished, and thank you for joining me here on my little corner of the internet 🙌
    In this video I get to work on cladding my kitchen units, covering my beams and have a go at putting together my upper cabinets.

    Mercedes Vario 614D

    Tip for you. I know your done, but you can cut prop sticks to hold the upper cabinet wood in place while you trace the outline of the cabinet. Prop sticks are great when working alone. Take two pieces of 1" x 2" x 5' long wood and screw them together. This way you can adjust the length from 5' to about 9' or adjust main lengths longer or shorter accordingly.

    Love watching your realistic and humorous videos! ❤️❤️Had to laugh so hard here on my sofa in Hamburg when I saw you balancing the wood on your head: reminds me of all my attempts to do things alone in my Iveco.😅 I'm the strange lady building in her van for years on the public street. 😄😎

    I like that colour, the Austrailan's would call it "Sandy Torque" a land cruiser colour. Many a round the world troopy is that colour.

    Having the shower and toilet opposite to each other you could arrange the doors so they create a large shower toilet changing area, each door closes off the front and back of the area giving you a private area after showering to get dressed in

    • @BusOffwithJosie
      @BusOffwithJosie  2 года назад

      Agh Malcolm it would seem that you have read my mind completely ☺️🙌👌👌👌 that is infact exactly what I plan to do (also have to do Cz the toilet is a bit small so don’t think you could fit your knees in with the door closed lol … or maybe just!
      Iv done the sliding door to close off the cab … just got to do the toilet door - hopefully soon 🤞 thanks for watching my video ☺️🙌

    That yard is cool, So its just all people building out buses/Bus adjacent? It's like a boat yard for buses, Hopefully I can find something like that in Florida. What's the story behind all of the US school buses in the UK(Britain? Pardon my lack of accent detection) I could see someone importing one of them but ya'll have got a lot of them. Good luck on the bus;)

    • @BusOffwithJosie
      @BusOffwithJosie  2 года назад +1

      Hey so the yard belongs to a company called shred and butta ☺️ you can find a link to them in my description under the video if you wanted to check them out ! They do awesome builds !!! 🙌🙌🙌 and import lots of American skoolies

    Haha very impressive and elegant bottom-of-cupboard instalation at the end there! 😜😅 I forgot how awesome the designs and colours of the bus were! It's making me wish I spent more time designing mine rather than just doing it as I go, because yours is already way nicer and it's not even finished! 😂 also... vegan soup and soya milk... Art thou a fellow vegan!? 😮🧐

    Don't forget the big secret to successful build..." Tare Weight". It takes fuel to move mass, and fuel is getting price increases thanks to a certain mr Schwab.
