Skoolie Interior Feature Door

Skoolie Interior Feature Door
We finished up the interior walls around our washing machine stand, the man-cave (electrical closet), and between the front and back halves of the bus... all so we could make and hang this custom "feature door" that Mike was dying to build! Since we're not really going to have a feature wall, I guess that makes this our Feature Door instead. We're not sure if it's more of a Hobbity Pirate door, or a Medieval Pub door, or maybe a Dutch Dungeon door, or, well... you decide! And let us know in the comments what you think!

About Us:
Hi! We are Mike & Kerry, the proud owners of a 1992 Bluebird rear engine (pusher), 40-foot school bus! We named her Bussy McBusface in honor of the RRS Boaty McBoatface travesty.
We're building a Tiny-Home-in-a-Bus for full-time living in the most adventure-friendly way possible! In other words, Bussy will not be parked in our driveway, waiting for weekend or holiday getaways... when we finish the build, we'll be packing everything we're keeping into the bus and driving away from this old house forever!
We plan to be boondocking the majority of the time, so you'll see that reflected in our choices throughout the build (100 gallon water tank, composting toilet, solar power system, etc). We'd love to have you stick around and follow us on our journey, throughout the Skoolie Build, and to Infinite Adventures Beyond!
Mike & Kerry

    I think one of the best things about this channel, besides the name, is that you show us exactly what the process is of making any new, novel home. All of us can find ourselves in common situations and it’s totally fun to see how you manage the challenges.

    Oh man, you guys that flat black hardware looks good with the sweet double door or whatever it’s called lmao. Have to tell you how much I enjoy your story since watching video after video of this bus reno and just impressed with your work! Even the layout I wouldn’t change if it were in my hands and the natural wood tones just soften and warm up the stark white naturally but all the details of the facing closets that create a cozy bedroom nook to the fabulous pex install for such a clean and (I never thought I’d look at a bus bathroom and say “woohoo!!!” welcoming/non-gross space to look forward to bathing in among other uses for bathrooms haha! And sorry I left out details such as in those gorgeous closet cubbies are moveable shelves and omg it could fit a ton of clothing. So there’s 2 things that impress me about your builds and videos... first off you show damn near everything and I sooooooo appreciate it because others leave out more than half and it’s not worth the frustration but yours are filled with great footage of how-to’s. Secondly and just as important is this love story between the two of you. Reminds me of how my husband supported my projects and was just as enthused as your hubby is for you and the dream of 🚌 BUSing off into the sunset together. He just adores you and you him!

    G’day I just happened to stumble across your channel by chance and after watching a couple of videos I became hooked, I would never contemplate doing what your doing but I find it very interesting in what and how you are converting a school bus into a home.. you are doing a terrific job and I can visualise what she will look like when you have finished her. Your skills are very good and between the two of you it’s fun to watch and you both have filmed and edited it very well, I don’t know where you get the time being a Paramedic because I didn’t when I was. Psychiatric nurse now retired. I’ll finish up by saying I think you two are great and a lovely couple I have subscribed and look forward to the next video kind regards John Kinnane Tasmania Australia

    Awesome work! One bit of advice: When wiring your switches, or anything with a wire around a screw terminal, wrap the wire clockwise. That way as you tighten the screw it pulls the wire in around the shaft of the screw. If you wrap it counterclockwise, it has a tendency to try to unwrap the 'hook' as you tighten it down.

Traffic was so bad! bumper to bumper on the way up and almost on the way home! I did 50 on the way back half way home I got passed by a smart car I told myself ok you can speed up and do 60! So I did! LMBO oh I was so scared. The man parked her in a tiny shopping center let me say that's how I found out how much u have to swing out and turn! I named her Gina that's the first name that can to me! you can see her in the group!

    Did you install a hot water line bypass in the shower back to your fresh water tank? Why? Because when you are boondocking and start a shower you can open a valve and let the water go back to your fresh water tank until you get hot water. Then, you close the valve and start your shower. This way, you don't waste any water waiting for hot water.
