    Love ❤️Your Guys Bus Build . I finally found my bus to build , 2005 Thomas Built , Cat C7 engine /automatic transmission, it’s a handicap bus with lift, only has 39,791 miles , no damage, couple of small surface rust areas, all sets have set belts, new tires, clean inside . Took me three years to find what I wanted. 30’ long. Got lots of plans for it. Thank you guys for the tips and humor. Your videos are Fantastic information to a new person about to start living life . God Bless You All. 👍😃🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇👍❤️🇺🇸

Have you thought of upping your content output to maybe two videos a week? I don't know your other duties throughout the day but, more content should equal more views, more subscribers, more revenue generated on KZread if you do get any with your channel. 🤷‍♂️ Idk I just figure if your already doing it...

    BADABINGGGGG! Now that is a good looking shower pan, and your shower looks HUGE! So glad you had some Killmat left to put under there, and that foam. Never thought of that! Brilliant idea. You two are so adorable! Way to troubleshoot the crazy plumbing pipes! Gosh there is so much to think about for each project, but when you take it a day at a time, you look back and think... DANGGGG that bus has come a long way. We can't wait to see how you do the walls, and the toilet! Will you have a curtain? We really like that you decided to just drop the pee into the grey tank. We are gonna do that too. Then we don't have to dump a whiz jug every other day. Great minds think alike! Can't wait to see what's next! Sending you guys big love & hope the weather clears up for yas. - E + B

    Hi, enjoy your videos. Thought I should let you know ... I bought one of those shower pans when I remodeled my bathroom in my house. They are super slippery just when wet, add soap or shampoo and you’re skating. ! Very much a HAZARD !! I tried the tub mat with suction cups - won’t stay suctioned; tried non-skid tape used on boat decks - lifts off. The slightly raised diamond pattern is what screws everything up, nothing sticks. I ended up getting a front door rubber floor mat and using that to keep from busting my ass. Please be careful. 🙏👍🏻❤️
