Okay, just found you guys. You two are like listening to Tim (my husband) and I but funnier... We are much more serious and boring. 😂 I design and help with some of the engineering, much like you. But mostly its all Tim, with me telling him what we need. We have a 2014 Winnebago Trend we got this spring and have been busy remodeling, with my required interior stuff. It's been fun, and we are not done, because we will eventually add solar so we can boondock, at some point. Thanks for sharing! This is great!
Drying rack is way cool. My idea for your stained glass, a sun with a tombstone. appropriate, yes? Your cherry wood will darken and redden with time. I watch a channel for a woodworker, and his cherry always darkens with time, it is just beautiful. I hope yours looks as good. Amazing job you're doing on the build. Love it. Thanks. :)
Jan Ambrose actual cherry wood will darken from the UV rays but maple plywood with a cherry stain will stay looking the same as when you finished it. Just because it’s a cherry color stain doesn’t mean you’ve transformed it into actual cherry, your just cheating on the price. I’ve been a cabinet maker for years and a cherry stained cabinet has never darkened for us. He did a fantastic job tho on the cabinets. Made it look like he’s been doing it for 30 years!!!
This is by far the best Bus Life channel I have found! Love, love, love the music and everything else! You guys are the type of friends we would hang out with! I love both of your witty humor! Great job guys! I’m a fan for life!
If Mike and Kerry can't make it Work .then I'm not even going to try it .. LOVE All your work and Channel.. Fantastic BUILD as ALWAYS . :-):-):-):-):-):-)
I have so many idea's brewing and it's all thanks to watching your videos, literally watched every single one in the past 2 days and learned so much as well, this man has some serious skills and gonna apply some of y'alls technique to my build. THANK YOU!!!!
Go get 'em! Our only advise, dont quit. This will be worth ever minute. The second thing, every corner you cut is a potential regret later as well as a long term sacrifice.
I love you guys, I am totally in awe of your ideas, skill and work, you cut no corners, you do it correctly. I also love how you guys interact with each other, y'all are too funny
G’day Mike and Kerry great job I know from experience that putting overhead cupboards up is not an easy job and what you have achieved with the kitchen is terrific, you both put a lot planning into how you were going to do it and the overall functionality of the kitchen. When you’ve completed the fit out it would have to be one of the nicest schoolies around, good idea with the double sink Kerry and great buy thanks again for sharing the build again it’s really lovely how your working on her together, kind regards John
Mike if you add another wire rack on top of the plates that is not fixed at the front it will hold the top of the plates and when you travel they wont rattle also if you choose to leave the plates in the rack it will open more cupboard space up for you.
I just love you two!!! The best part is you share the entire build and all the quirks that make you two unique and special!!! So an idea I’ve had is if you routed out a juice groove on your cutting board, that’d help prevent spills, possibly even drill a hole in the center for easy draining with a wooden plug for when it’s being used to chop messy tomatoes, etc. but my other thought is to install drawer slides or make wooden tracks (for removing to wash) but that way it’s out of the way, but in a convenient pull out drawer for as needed use. That and it’d be hidden among all of your other drawers! My last thought is instead of regular cabinet fronts for the uppers, why not make them sliding doors so during traveling you won’t need to lock up your doors? I’m not criticizing whatsoever, just some thoughts as I’m watching this for the hundredth time ;) lmao. I did see another builder implement curvy uppers with the sliding door concept and it seemed so appropriate for the purpose of his travel trailer. Obviously though you two have blown everyone else out of the water... seriously! The natural wood that’s light and airy and soft with the brilliant layout using closet cabinets to wall in essentially your bed/bedroom for a cozy nook feel and then into the bathroom and the amount of space and plus on its own seems cozy and private. Of course my favorite is the main living space plus a kitchen that houses seating/fold down bed etc etc! So recently I saw a popular builder build a kitchenette for his buddy’s travel trailer and this would be just perfect for you two!... he used scrap ply or 1x3’s and ripping all edges with a 45 degree bevel he created his own but similar take on Laura Kampf’s scrap wood subway tile backsplash! Omg it’d be perfect with your look and like they both did, stain your wooden tiles (the face only) in a color maybe even lightly paint just the fronts and it creates a gorgeous subway tile with the beautiful edges exposed leaving a grout like effect!!! Lol too much time I have apparently but at this point I’m emotionally invested in your schooly build adventure and would love to add too it lol 🤦🏽♀️ pls don’t stop when this project is finished!!! I hope you build yourself a travel trailer and then a tiny house in the mountains or on a beach, what I mean is I’ll be sad the day you guys quit filming your builds
Thank you for your input. Kerry and I have spent countless hours discussing the things you have brought up! I'm glad you are enjoying the build and we have no intention of stopping this vlog. It is just the beginning.
Earth-child, soul gypsy girl! LOL! So awesome! You guys have done an amazing, inspired job! Soooooo impressive! You guys are so inspiring the way you love each other! I would make the stained glass with two doves to represent your love for each other.
Hi Mike, Hi Kerry, Kerry I think you are right about the upper cabinets being harder to fit, but we are talking about Mike fitting yours and so far nothing has beaten the pair of you in this build and after watching you both fit yours you will have given a lot of people the means to fit theirs.. Once again Kerry a great video and a lovely kitchen and I love that door, sorry I havent put a comment about the colour or design of the window but I am not that good at that sort of thing.. Anyway looking forward to the next one and your progress.. Take care both of you, see you again soon...
Great channel and fantastic content it’s so refreshing to see a build with all the issues and achievements too as for your stained glass window a rendition of bussy mcbusface would look awesome 😎 keep up the great work and stay safe 😀
Loving the drying rack! I was thinking about something similar, but it will function as dish storage as well. I'm enjoying your build so much! I'm always excited to see what's new and how it came to be. Looking good guys! 👏👏👏❤️
That narrow space you have TV trays In is the perfect space for a slide in/out spice rack.. Many RVs have them, wouldn’t be to hard to source the parts.. Just a thought 😎
Initially, that was the design. But after looking at it we decided we didn't want to have to kneel down to see the spices. With that in mind the spice rack will be right in her face in the upper cabinet on the right hand side with some cool slide outs and features making it easier to find all the spices.
Mike, a small removable nylon bungee across the dishrack about halfway up might be prudent as well for travel. Also, don't know your plans for cabinet doors, BUUUUTTT, if you make them lift up you can attach magnets as knobs and they will latch to the roof of the bus and look clean. If you put stained or anything in that pirate window cool and heat can't pass s freely. Now, if yall ain't careful, yall is gunna finish that bus, then what is we gunna do? Great job yall!
I am a big fan of tung oil, it makes for a beautiful finish. I also prefer a light stain on cherry. Oak is the best wood because it’s a good hard wood. Cherry dents too easy.
Hey Kerry, Ya know sometimes I get Insomnia Also. Man it sucks 😒 but, I don’t take anything for it. I am on Disability so I take enough stuff Already. Your in my prayers ❤️❤️❤️
Hey guys, I’m rewatching this video because we are doing our cupboards soon. You have the drip dry shelf above the sink and now that you’ve been living in the bus for a bit, do you have any reviews on that set up? My husband loves the idea, so we want to see how functional it is. Thank you, love you guys!
@@BussyMcBusface I haven't watched that one, so I'll head over. Thanks so much for the review, looks like we'll be adding in this feature too! Merry Christmas!
I’m concerned that those beautiful countertops are going to get sun-bleached-really, all of your woodwork. Will you be installing UV window film? I see 3’x30’ rolls of clear film for $19.95 on Amazon.
Y'all need to get ahold of Jax Austin and see if you can't get some helpers like he got for his skoolie. Or at least ask him about some of the sponsorship stuff he gets. (Or just have him stop by to hang out and get an interview with y'all for both of your channels.)
I know this is a year old and I'm benge watching, but how wonderful r their personalities!! I so appreciate that
Nice job Mike and Kerry!
Thank you Randy!
Dish drying rack .... Oh Yeah ! Must have 👍🏻
How sweet for both of you, Mike and Kerry.
Just watching a few videos over. My suggestion for the stain glass window is Mountains.

I think the tree of life stain glass would look perfect in your hobbit dutch door...Awesome job guys thanks for shearing your bus conversion.
I love you guys, I am totally in awe of your ideas, skill and work, you cut no corners, you do it correctly.
I also love how you guys interact with each other, y'all are too funny
I see you man. Glad you gave your countertops just enough tint to maintain a natural patina. Work man work. I see an artiste at work.

"If its wet, sticky and not yours dont touch it!" Love it. I got the same shirt.
Mike if you add another wire rack on top of the plates that is not fixed at the front it will hold the top of the plates and when you travel they wont rattle also if you choose to leave the plates in the rack it will open more cupboard space up for you.
The way you guys thought this build out never ceases to amaze. Finish looks awesome, looking forward to the next video.

Love watching your build. 🥰 I vote for a custom stain glass Bussy McBusface Logo for your door.😉👍🏻
I hope your's channel grows largest in planet, nice video. Finland watching👍👍👍
THANK YOU!!!
Great video, loved the ideas of your kitchen!
Once again very nicely done! I'm stealing the dish dying rack idea for our conversion build!

Awesome, thanks for the video
:)
I'm putting plans together for my build. This will work for me too.
Mike, that dish rack idea was from RV Chief and his Prevost build. I watched that series.
I watch him also, then one day he dropped out of circuit. Don't know what happen to him or his bus.......
It wasn't a bus build actually, it was a van build. Young millenial looking guy.
@@BussyMcBusface Sweet, looks like a good idea shared around :)
Great channel and fantastic content it’s so refreshing to see a build with all the issues and achievements too as for your stained glass window a rendition of bussy mcbusface would look awesome 😎 keep up the great work and stay safe 😀
Man that looks great.
Looking good ya'll
Lookin more like a home every video!
Looking great
Thank you!
Great job guys!! Custom build cabinets. Very nice!! Love your video's, thanks for taking us along! So excited for you guys..
Love to watch you two, you seem to work so well together, keep it up.
WOW, Karry, everything is looking so amazing! I know you're so proud of Mike and all his hard work! I can hardly wait to see your finished home!
Love Your Video’s! It’s Great To See Your Progress As You Build!
Very nice work and strong .
Hey guys i watch all your progress and just love you both and the bus is awesome. Im in tucson we should do lunch. Have lovely day...😉
So you custom built the door for your cat...LOL!! 🤣😂🤣😂👍👍❤

Awesome ideas and floor plan

Great work Mike and Kerry. Build is looking great with some very creative ideas! Mike call me when you get a chance.
Awesome Job Kerry and Mike ..I have watched nearly all your vlogs. Will you be heading to the RTR 2020? Or The Skoolie Palooza?
We sure hope so!

Love the upper cabinets , how deep did you make yours ? I'm in the process of converting a short bus and would like to do uppers.
Curious ... why is the cabinet on the left of the dry rack different on the bottom than the left one?? 😬 PS excellent build! Love it!
Havent added the 1.25" brace.
Haha go figure! I wasn’t sure if you had something nifty going like a spice rack 🤷🏻♀️
A parrot stained glass for the pirate door.
Thanks for sharing. Funny gal 😉
I’m concerned that those beautiful countertops are going to get sun-bleached-really, all of your woodwork. Will you be installing UV window film? I see 3’x30’ rolls of clear film for $19.95 on Amazon.
your stained glass window should an image of the bus,,,,,, or the cat
stain glass should be birds
I wish you numbered the videos. I'd like to see it in order.
What about a pirate ship stained glass.
Where did you get the locking pliers for the pocket screws?

Better than the Kreg version by leaps and bounds! I also added this to the description. Thank you for the reminder!

I've been doing it all how's that them there apples
Tung oil from a genuine imported Tung
use your logo in the stain glass window :0)
How much space do you have in the middle aisle walkway by the kitchen

Thank you your video has been very helpful in my build
What kind of rack did u use for the dish drain
I put a link in the description.

Are you happy to discuss the insomnia ?

It would be a fun meeting for sure 😊
I reckon that if you hadn't bought all the fancy tools, you could have paid someone to do the fit out !
