BIG COMMENT MENT FOR ALL THOSE WHO THINK THEY KNOW WHAT THESE 2 NEED TO DO. I can’t believe several of the comments I just read!!! Since when is it up to the viewers to decide what or which project Doug & Evee decide to work on today. STOP ASKING ARE YOU EVER GONNA FINISH YOUR HOUSE. It is so nice & completely livable.. STOP BUYING CARS & BUSES.. last time I checked it is their Hobby & Money NOT YOURS.. REALLY PEOPLE GET A FREAKING LIFE!!! It isn’t up to any of Us what these 2 adults do & when. Or what they spend their money on that is completely between the 2 of them. THEY HAVE NEVER & DO NOT ASK FOR MONEY. So why all the negative Nellie’s out there. FYI: I have been married 44 years & my husband NEVER FINISHES ANYTHING ON MY TIMELINE. IT TAKES SOME PROJECTS MONTHS OR YEARS IF IT EVER GETS COMPLETED. He is 65 & works A FULL TIME JOB 60-100 hours weekly STILL. He is a wonderful husband & provider so I just live & let live. If you have watched these 2 for anytime they do & complete so many projects together. How many of us can say the same. So my advice to all those who think they know what is best for Doug & Evee. Let us come inspect your home & finances & I can guarantee that you are a HOT MESS & probably live your life through others on the internet. GET OUTSIDE . GOD BLESS FROM WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND

I think these two have a great partnership they're always working together working on projects I don't hear them complaining I don't hear him screaming at each other they are the perfect couple

I have all faith in your abilities to fix the new bus. Love how you all met each problem, you step up and get it fixed.

Obviously, it's content for the channel, but the fact they keep on truckin' on no matter the unexpected problems that come up, it's a testimony to their stick-tuit-ness on these things. It can be so hard to feel motivated when you're in deeper than you anticipated or wanted to be on a project. Hopefully their motivation can be contagious for us to catch. >>;=)

Well you two have always been fantastic at taking ‘a a sow’s ear and turning it into a silk purse’. Slow and steady you will get there with a beautiful bus at the end

Always a good day when y’all post a video!

So glad you have that tractor! I was having flashbacks to you removing the lift in your other bus 😖 I’m sure it crossed your mind, too! It’s all an opportunity to put your skills to work. Nothing insurmountable. Just not the story you hoped for, but I’m here to see how the plot develops! Nice job.

Yes, this one went so much smoother. Sometimes we learn things in life that we never expect to use again, but here we are removing another lift.

You two are a good team and you're making good progress. Time to make lemonade out of that lemon. If anybody can do it, you guys can.

If anyone can put life back into this bus, it’s you and Eevee. Lots of elbow grease, time and some patience. It will all be worth it in the end. As always be well, be blessed ❤

I remember the last time you took the wheelchair lift out of your other bus and both you and Ashley almost lost your legs. That was so scary. So glad you have the equipment to do it more safely this time.

It's so nice to have the right tools for the job.

You’re not afraid of difficult projects, I think you’re going to make that bus into something you will be proud of…,😊😊😊

Eevee and Doug never cease to amaze me! In spite of disappointment in the newest bus they accept and tackle the challenge without hesitation. It's like removing the wheelchair lift - although years apart they remembered details and made quick work of this removal. I must have missed a video. I was surprised by the tractor. Perfect for removing the lift from the bus. A perfect example of 'work smarter - not harder!'. The forks will be great for stacking and moving lumber. Such a practical investment.

Sideways comment: it is interesting that they are semi-junker car enthusiasts but contrary to many of these channels they only get top notch tools and new equipment such as the excavator and the small MF tractor with lift and belly mower. Other DIY channels show buying and rehabbing junker heavy machinery and heavy trucks.

That bus is a vanlifers dream project! I understand that is not what you intend to do with it, but just wanted to share my enthusiasm. Have fun with this project. I'm sure its going to be exactly what you want.

Hello Doug. Im so sorry for the rust damage and leaks. Remember you are just one man. You have overcome so many obstacles and you will this too. Its worse then you thought and Im sorry. Take your time with all these projects. Do not get overwhelmed. You enjoy this stuff so enjoy it. Keep cooled off and Im praying you stay safe. Bye Maverick!

Love that you always have projects to tackle. My kind of people! Never bored and never ever boring. Ambitious, hard working problem solvers

I so enjoy all your videos, and i always learn something. Have a wonderful day and keep cool.

This is exactly why what I have found about your videos (I've been watching for years) You find a project that needs to be fixed, and you figure out and show us how to fix it. Positive resolutions. A great approach to anything one is working to resolve. I love your videos and your little family❤❤😊

Always remember doug, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it,😅 just saying from North of Newcastle 🇬🇧 , another good video 📹

Doug and Eevee don’t just rush in when doing a job. It is all well planned, they know what they are doing. Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

How many people would have just let that bus sit once you discovered it was a big mistake? Not Doug and Eevee! You just don't give up, you tackle it, deal with the difficulties - like removing that wheelchair lift - and you proceed. You are both hard working and so very good at problem solving. This bus will be better than new by the time you are done with this project.

I absolutely love watching your videos. I think you could do just about anything. Never a dull moment with Doug and Eevee. 🤗❤️

I know you'll make the bus better than you got.

Rooting for you, always!

With so many projects on the go (intended and not intended), if you get bored or delayed on one there's another you can jump on to. 😄

All I’m gonna say is wait til you see what their gonna accomplish, they always find the positive side and come out on top they are an amazing couple who love a challenge and never let us down . God Bless your beautiful family.

If anyone can make this bus nice, Doug and Eevee can! Keep. Doing. You! 🌵🌻🎶🚌❤️

What a mess! Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Eevee and Doug, a big start clearing the bus out.

I enjoy watching y’all fix the unfixable. It inspires me to be less hasty to throw away fixable things.

Wow Doug....I have no words....hugs

If you don't sell the bus wheelchair lift, you could consider donating it to a worthy nonprofit such as The Arc, a senior citizen organization or a veterans organization. Most of them could really use a decent wheelchair lift and would probably come to pick it up. I worked for The Arc of St. Lucie Co in Florida for years and we appreciated donations such as that so we could transport our clients into the community. Just a thought. Love you guys Thank you for sharing your lives with us 😊

Ok folks, life is a journey with zigs and zags. Doug and Evee are doing what they want and love to do on THEIR timeline not mine or yours. Thanks for letting us watch your progress on your projects. I know this will turn out ok and you will learn things maybe you didn't know before when the bus is finished. 👍

So many would LOVE to be doing what you are doing!!!! I certainly would 👍👍👍

Love your enthusiasm and determination, you work with smiles and laughter and inspire others to have a go.

I'm on here to watch your videos, which I enjoy watching. I learn something new at times. I love Eevee's laugh and Doug's know how. Your children are great, and they're happy. Y'all are the best. ❤❤❤😊

This is my 2nd comment. Doug We all buy something that was junk. You 2 will figure this out & it will be so nice once done. (Our yard is full of my Husband’s hobbies & projects lol) Yes it is gonna be a HUGE PROJECT but when did that ever stop you Doug. With Evee jumping in to help & the 2 kids love & supporting you. This will get this done. I so enjoy all the different projects you have going on. YOUR CHANNELS ARE NOT THE SAME EVERY VIDEO LOTS OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS TO ENTERTAIN US. Our lives can be so exciting with each new adventure or different projects. I really hope this Summer you 2 have or will take the kids on a picnic even in your own back yard or to the beach & spent some special time camping, biking, hiking & just relaxing as a family. HAPPY JULY 4th!! GOD BLESS FROM JULIE WEST CENTRAL INDIANA FARMLAND

Thank you! We just went to the beach recently and it was fun. We even saw jellyfish washed up on the beach which was a new experience for us. We do go out and have fun, but it's getting too hot now so we'll wait till fall to start having outings again. We don't like getting stuck in the hot sun all day. We went to the Jacksonville zoo and Busch gardens a little earlier this year too! Those were super fun and Maverick was big enough to get on a roller coaster! We plan on going to a theme park again this fall. Thank you so much!

Every new video is a fun surprise, don't care what the project is! They only routine feature of any of the videos is charisma.

You might pick up some pallets to set that heavy stuff on, then in the future it will move easier. 😊

You’ll make lemonade out of this lemon. We have confidence in you and EeVee.

Amazing couple, incredible kids & great DIY & interesting fun to watch. Love you guys

Hi guy You wonderful talented people Just love to see you guys so busy doing what you want to do Tell Bell and Maverick hi GOD bless you beautiful people

So many projects! I don’t know how you decide what to work on each day. Thank you for making videos! Every interesting. ❤

Oh no. Such a pain. Sorry that it was more work than you were ready to take. I hope you are able to rescue it. The two front sits better be worth the challange lol I am glad the lift was easier to take out this time around. I remember Eevee almost lost a foot last time. That thing is HEAVY!

not a mistake, a learning experience!

Good job!! You always amaze me Doug and Eevee. You will make it just like new! Much love 🤗❤😊

Great Job, can’t wait to see it finished!

I"m not sure how it's spelled, but Syncoflex, for boats underwater, might hold the fiberglass top forever. Good luck.

Glad you beat the human mousetrap, I was worried 👍😀

Much easier and safer lift removal than last time!! Thank goodness!!!!

The fact is that there's not much left to do on the house. We just have to build some cabinets and finish the exterior, and some little odds jobs and trim here and there. The exterior is the biggest part of it. And we are thinking that if we can finish the mobile home, we can camp out there while we finish the final projects so that we can get the work done and not have to live in a mess while doing it.

I am at the middle you your video and had a thought, it you make a wood frame to sit them on, you could reuse those buss seats for seating on your back porch area or elsewhere. I think you will do great in fixing it up.!

You’ve got this and it will be great when you are done!!

Just wow! Enjoy the holiday with your family ❤❤❤❤

Wow that was so much easier than the other bus it seems like

Yeah, we were not expecting this much trouble. It makes us appreciate our old bus so much more.

I found the water sealer coating I had told you about. But still trying to find that rust inhibitor that I had also told you about. Both are just painted on after cleaning up the area. As soon as I find it I'll send an email to you. Step by step just like you do with your home renovations. You'll get there.

Wow, that's a mess, I am so excited to see what you do to address everything wrong with it.

What an awesome gift God blessed you with, Doug! The ability to understand wiring and everything else about rebuilding cars and homes and more! Looking forward to your progress videos! Love your ideas

Lookin good! I can see it comin together! Love y’all!

The last wheel chair lift still haunts me!!! God was looking after you that day 🙌🙌

Sometimes you just have the strip everything out so you can decide what it is that you need to do. Y'all got this.

I really admire your tenacity 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a challenge...wow!

I know the rust is discouraging, but it doesn't look too bad. To me or mostly looks like very bad paint prep on the metal. Hopefully a wire wheel, some fresh paint, and a sheet of osb will clean it all up.

Doug & Eevee - you work hard together and get things done ✔️. After seeing how you fixed up the other bus - I’m positive you will do a great job on this one too !! When life gives you lemons 🍋 - make Lemonade ❤❤ Gonna be awesome 😎👍❤️

Sorry, I know its alot of work fixing up these disasters, but i love to watch the process. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you 👍

Another project for us to watch you guys tackle! You work so hard and everything you do you do so well!

Remember the last time did a wheelchair lift? I do!! Lol!

Great job!!!

Some of those blue seats would make excellent patio seats.😊

Doug and Evee I just love both your channels! The two of you are so intelligent! My husband is a retired carpenter who worked in that field over half his life and Doug could honestly teach him a few things.

Oh my. Well, you are good with this stuff. Go for it. Hope the mechanical parts of the engine, etc. are good.

You two should build a covered structure for your vehicles. Another channel that I watch started with two shipping containers with a space between them and built a roof over it all. That gave them storage inside the containers and covered space for vehicle storage as well as covered outdoor space to work.

cannot wait tosee how you fix the leaks, have fun with it and enjoy your day!

Thank you for sharing your journey. Remarkable endeavors and accomplishments. Blessings.

Wow! You two are awesome! Sorry you have to deal with rust .

Recycle, renew. Reuse😊❤

🤔 Just an idea...the engine ran good, pull it and sale it. Seal all the leaks and make extra storage for future projects, furniture and roadside treasures!! Orrrrrrrr...a clubhouse for the kids!!!!

It's a lot of work but at least when you are finished with the bus, you'll have the comfort of knowing that you can trust the quality of the finished product. I'm sure that it will be better than it ever was by the time you're finished with it. See you in the next video. Have a good day! Bye kids 👋 Have fun!

Hope the best for you and the buses.

We don't want the lift so we'll leave it out. It's just too heavy and makes too much noise when it rattles around. We'd rather just have the usable space.
