I bet you sleep great after that overhead work. I also bet you never buy another sheet metal screw again. It amazed me how well these buses are built.

Keep the videos coming....motivates us armchair warriors. !!!

My brother-in-law just got done with shoulder surgery- yuck. A few months prior, he was showing us how he could still throw 85 mph fastball.

It's no fun getting old, but it sure beats the alternative !!!

I was in a harness for 8 weeks and it took6 months to get back full motion and almost a year to get to 95 percent strength.

Well we have used essential oils for about 2 years. We are now distributors. Got to pay for the skoolie updates somehow.

As we draw near to the actual build we had to finalize the floor plan that Barbie has been working diligently on for a while. Watch as we explain our vision for our skoolie.

sky light installation

We installed a skylight to replace one of our emergency exits that was falling apart. Watch as we go through the process.

Emergency Exit Hatch

I skinned over our remaining emergency exit hatch. I also wanted to install our MaxAir fan but weather might have another say on the subject. Also Niko, our GSD, has his first speaking part in one of our videos. Be sure to hear what he has to say. I also do a lessons learned at the end of the video so if you plan on doing the same don't make the same mistakes I did.

Sometimes in life our plans change due to some unforseen circumstances. We have to sell our Skoolie project.

She is a 1993 Ford B-600 20 passenger Carpenter bus. The seats have been removed and floor has been corosealed. Both roof emergency exits have been removed (one skinned over, the other has an acrylic skylight). The walls and ceiling have been removed and are your canvas waiting for dreams.

We live in Central FL (just south of Ocala on 75). Asking 4k. The bus is titled in FL as a Motorhome already.
