I think this may be my favorite build! I love a wood fire, lots of storage, nice appliances including an oven...you've checked all the boxes I have for my someday tiny house. Love the finishes & colors w/ the natural wood...such a great place to be!😊
The small house on the bus is very comfortable and has everything I really like. The 2 shelves along both sides of the bus retain the character of the bus and are also very functional in storing a lot of things.
What a nice man….. it’s clear that family and quality time with Fmly is very important to him, as he mentions his enjoyment of valuable time with his children. His bkgrnd as a hotel/motel/b&b supervisor makes for a great wealth of info on how to maximize the efficiency of his tiny hm. Also, running a full business while traveling on the road proves he has to be super organized & detailed for his business to even work; yet apparently he has got quite the mastery of that. God bless this dude, and wishing he & his fmly safe travels!!! What a fantastic show of intelligence this man exhibits- also he LOVES designing & creating these tiny home buses/motor coaches…… EXCELLENT WORK!
Hey Andy! I'm a subscriber too & really enjoyed watching both bus builds & all your adventures around NZ. You gave me heaps of ideas for building the accommodation in my horsetruck. I miss you videos! Glad to see you're doing well & still in the bus. 😊
Absolutely Fantastic0! You ought to be proud of yourself, you are really creative and know how to Hussle to make it all happen. You are a Survivor and absolutely slaying it!
Love it and for some reason it reminds me of a boat. IN LOVE with this bus and everything about it. Total perfection... love the colors, designs, ideas, everything.
Oh, I'm so enthusiastic. Thats a wonderful little home on wheels. All interiors are high quality. Very cozy with the little oven. So much storage inside. Very nice. My taste. Good work. 👌🙏🤗😁🥰
Another big bus turned into a house on wheels and I really like how he has the inside all set up with the furniture and how everything is arranged inside it Thank You.👋🚐🚐🚐🚐👋
Hey Andy! We're his subscribers and enjoyed watching him build both buses and "BusLifeNZ" 2.0 is our favorite ... a better bus with improved layout. It's lovely 🙂
I was also happy to find this! I miss seeing him and the kids - I bet the coparenting life became too busy and complicated. Looks like all his season 2 blogs were removed.
I can see how a near death experience could radically change your perspective on life. I'm sure this way of living shows your family many different life opportunities with the change you made.
@@TinyHomeTours The bus Im building out right now is going to stay planted as a tiny off grid home. We have 5 buses on the property we are using for camping. Im excited to show it all when things start to get more organized :)
Hi from, me (Adam) in Christchurch .... loved your Ben Fogle program, just finished watching it actually, Hope this message finds you guys well, thank you for sharing your experience, and wish you guys well in the future!
I agree with Andy. I don’t need a huge sink, but it’s nice to have the deepness. I have a big kitchen sink & ended up putting a smaller plastic bin in it for doing dishes. This bus is beautiful and so well organized. Enjoy👍🏻🇨🇦
Wow beautiful inside, i love how there is no clutter and that allows all the beautiful woods and colors to pop..your truly a minimalist for sure...but you sure know how to arrange decor...love everything in this bus😊👏👋well done..
I've watched a lot of bus or camper conversions, but I really like yours. Very open, filled with light, and I love the windows. Others seem very dark and cramped, but yours is very well done. Good going. Have fun!
i love your bus. love the bungee cord for the drawers and the clip for the roller shades. Simple and functional. nice interior, and not much moving furniture. Keep safe in your travels!
I love, love, love this build!! ❤❤❤ I especially love all the windows letting in natural light! The kitchen and fireplace area and all the wood!! You did an amazing job 👏🏾 Tracey from San Diego, California USA
The first bus conversion, RV, box truck conversion video I have seen that has an extractor fan in the kitchen, what a great idea. Additionally, the first bus etc. I have seen that has a toilet and shower separate from one another. Overall, I found the design of your bus very impressive. Thank you for sharing
So good to see Andy!! I miss his vlogs. I’m sure it wasn’t his choice alone to remove them. Hope the kids and Andy are doing very well and that he comes back when he has the time. 🙏
You know, I'm thinking I really like those swinging rope chairs. I might like to find a way to attach one to my car somewhere, either with a swing out/pull out addition or something..maybe
OMG..I just love your home. Your kitchen is lovely. I can provide you with a few really easy recipes if you'd like. I love cooking and I love to preserve as well.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME BUILD!!!!!!!!! My ONLY thing is that i would of put a big screen tv where the heat source is at...across from the couch..... great video thanks for sharing!!!!🤘🤘👍🤘🤘
Really nice build. I love the throw pillows in the living room (ok: lounge) and the dining table. Really great the way it’s rounded off. For some reason Americans always do their tables square. For some reason a square table doesn’t appeal to me! The kids bunks look great. I’ve checked out the zippered bed sheets. I wasn’t sure if he said the name (Beddies) and they’re nice but can get pretty pricey! Overall great build! Vaya con Dios!
Hello, I am wondering about the sizing of the wood stove. 8kw seems to me to be too much for the surface. I think there are a lot of glass surfaces and therefore heat loss. However, it is counterproductive to take an oversized stove because it will have to operate slowly. This will wear out the stove more quickly and clog the chimney with a risk of a soot fire. Professionals say that a stove must operate at full capacity and burn well. Unless I live in a region that is very cold all year round, I will opt for a 4W and find a supplement if it is very, very cold on a few winter days. Calculation method: Area*height=cubic meters (V). I calculated approximately 65M3. Insulation index, poorly insulated and large window surface 1.8 (G). Then climatic index depending on the inhabited or encountered area. For me, the coldest days are around -6.5. I add the desired average temperature in the bus. For me 22° (Celsius). And I add the two, or 28.5 (ΔT). I multiply everything: 1.8*65*28.5=3334.5 Result 3.33KW. So, to choose a stove that is not oversized or undersized, I will opt for a 4KW which runs in an optimized manner
@5.28 how can we fill those top space between the roof and the vertical wooden board....? What material can we use...? Does it wooble when the bus is moving...?
I love this, nice and simple. To many people go crazy added to much, this is perfect!
*too

Great to see you Andy. Any UA-cam buslifenz videos coming soon? They’re always entertaining and a great way to see NZ.
I knew I recognized him from something...Loved that channel!
I was also happy to find this! I miss seeing him and the kids - I bet the coparenting life became too busy and complicated. Looks like all his season 2 blogs were removed.
Wow. I think you did a really nice job on your bus tiny home build. It looked beautiful ❤Happy traveling.
Beautiful job. First time I've seen a city transit type bus done.
What an charmer! ( the bus is nice too!)
Way to go Andy! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾♥️
Beautiful bus. One of the very best I have viewed.
Lovely clean build! Thanks for letting us know about that toilet. That's a step up.
Definitely going to have to check out those toilets--love that it lights up when the liquids are full!
Beautiful, airy, light and breezy looking. I love this design. It's giving: I could-sit here-all-day, and-be- inspired-vibes.
I can see how a near death experience could radically change your perspective on life. I'm sure this way of living shows your family many different life opportunities with the change you made.
Super clean and uncluttered. Love it!
BEAUTIFUL
You have a great talent for design, decorating and aesthetics just wanted you to know. Good for you and fun for the kiddo'. Cheers from Seattle!

Look nice and simple 🤙 cant wait until mine starts looking like a real home
Andy created a really nice clean aesthetic! Best of luck with your build--hope to see you down the road! 🙂

Hello. it´s very nice job. congratulation 🚌

A beautiful home! Well done, Andy! I wonder, do you all live there full time? Doesn't seem like you have lots of belongings..
I'm thinking about doing this. Looking at a provost rebuild.
Good job....

Love the build but having just come back from driving a campervan around New Zealand I wonder how your bus manages those narrow twisting roads??!!
Toyota makes Hino👍👍
whats the brand of that extration fan please?
Handsome ❤
Has andy taken down his bus build videos
Link for drawer bungee stoppers?
Curved top is looks more like home table than square.
