  • This was my first time staying overnight in a school bus (my bandmate Johnny Lungs built this one out). Join us as our band (The Shoot Dangs) plays a show in Fairbanks, Alaska at the Boatel bar. Then it's time to get back to business with Dustin on my house...

    Hi Timmy, another great video. Loved hearing your band. What fun friends you have. You did a great job on the rock arch and the rocks on the island. Near the end when you took us on a quick tour of your epic house i was stunned by your progress and how stunning the tongue and groove looks. It is so neat to see the rooms clearly defined now. Great to see you driving around in your truck but i understand it will take some more time before we see a Truck House Life video with you camping in the truck. I'll be glad to wait. Hope your hand heals and hope we see you next week! Helen from Pittsfield, IL

    So two things about your rock - your life is made much easier by using a mortar hoe for mixing, and you dont really need a scratch coat as long as the wire is on the correct way and not upside down, just butter the rock and put it on 😊

    When mixing mortar or cement in a wheel barrel try using a garden hoe ,they work great for mixing and scraping the bottom to get a good mix with no dry spots.

      My father was a plasterer by trade back in the 1950's. That was his go to method for mixing a small batch of plaster as opposed to using a small cement mixer. He would use a wheel barrel and a hoe to mix the cement. Brings back childhood memories.

    Just recently came across your channel and I know I'm a month late on this video but I binge watched your artic ocean trip and now seeing this gave me a laugh. I'm converting a bus into an Rv so I can take my father all over the US to hunt and fish, we're huge outdoorsmen. I'd love to caribou hunt once in my life, I also tacked on a goal to somehow make it to Prudhoe Bay at least once. It's an old Activity Bus built in 92' but the old girl still has plenty of life left. Once I'm done with the work, funny enough I'm doing the same foam and Diesel heater as you, I'll probably test out how she handles cold in Minnesota, North Dakota, or Montana before making my way that far North but if you see this and have a moment I'd love to hear if you have any thoughts on insulation, if you would have gone thicker or if you think you have a good thickness now. Can't wait to see your next video! and who knows, may bump into you on the road one day!
