Love the Mexican Hat Dance around the hatch! LoL

I love how he made up his own word and gave us the definition 🤣

Mike Your A WORKERBEE. I DID HEAVY HIGHWAY construction for 24 years. That’s what the Carpenters , (I’m a Union Laborer in Western New York. ). We Called Hard Worker’s. WorkaBee. God Bless, Fantastic Job Mike 😛😉

My favorite part was the little "Mexican Dance Steps" Mike did on the flashing! Ha-cha-cha!!!!!

Mike sounds like the comedian Nate Bargatze :)

"Weed in tow" lol:) I didn't think it was possible, but I think Mike has more tools than my husband has!

Mike! Dude! Plumber, Carpenter, Electrician, Sheet Metal Fabricator! Talk about self-reliant! You are the epitome of "Tha Man!"

I always drop stuff so I set a 50 gallon trash can directly below what I'm working on.

You can add a little ladder to get on the roof with that one skylight. :)

Omg I have a leak in my bathroom vent on my van and I'm defo gunna use that roofing tape for sure! Thanks for the idea!

Hello, Guys, you are some of my favorite people to watch! I hope to meet you guys someday! Man, Mike, you have some killer tools! I need to pick your brain a little, I need to build 2 murphy beds so when taken down to sleep in those 2 beds will become one big bed!Or just one If your the only one taken a nap. BC of those dang breathers and motor back there at the end of my bus. I'm still upset over that! I may never get over it LMBO

Of all the skoolie builds we've seen, this one is the best!! Can't wait to see the final McBusface!!!

I swear the way your mind thinks, great job

I just love that when you start a project I have NO idea where you are going with it then POOF! You surprise me!! Always pleasantly!

You two are so cool

Great job! It even looks great!

Awesomeness! LOVE IT! TFS

awesome project

You guys are adorable. Great job on those skylights Mike

Nice work.

I always double check your older videos before I start that part of my bus. I am about to add some fans and a skylight to mine. I don't have a metal break and I was trying to measure everything on paper trying to form the flashing with a table, 2x4s and a clamp. You covered all yours with tape anyway. I am thinking about skipping the metal and covering the wood directly with the roofing tape now. It's also funny to go back and see unfinished walls and missing cabinets, now that you're watching TV in your bus and all.

That tape is what is used to patch Refridge truck's when a hole get's punched in them,Also they sell that flashing in ten foot length's.

As always a very informative and entertaining video. Really enjoy your videos, sometimes wonder where your mind is going with these projects. At first I thought you were putting duct tape on that skylight but I should have known better!

Bravissimo complimenti.(io avrei usato la vetroresina al posto dell'alluminio per sigillare il tetto) comunque davvero complimenti.

Damn fine skylight! I am thinking about welding on a marine hatch on our skoolie build if I can find one. I'm way behind you folks! Just now finishing the mechanical rebuild, fingers crossed!

You guys are funny

You need a strap on the opposite latch side of the hatch to prevent blow over (piano hinge tear out) and a rod support mechanism to allow upright positions that you want,. i.e., a glide rod mechanism.

Major skills!! How did it hold up,

Love the Bus,Yawl have great work ethic and skill!!! BUT those damn FLIP FLOPS would have to go I have hit my wife's toes feet so many times and yet she still wears them shes tougher than a pine knot!!! NICE JOB!!! Yeah N.C.

Oops, square corners on a vehicle opening is a stress point and may lead to metal cracking. That is why they make airplane windows with rounded corners. Look up the story of the Comet airplane and how it broke apart in mid flight.

G’day Mike very good job just one thing are you going to put some kind of latching so it will stay up? The whole bus is coming along really nicely the woodwork is terrific, kind regards John PS your always happy Kerry it’s lovely to see how you both interact on this build.

Yes we are in fact. It may be some kind of locking slide rail or a pneumatic strut. Haven't decided yet. Maybe both!

Thanks for the inspirational videos. I love your honesty quirkinesses. I’m a retired Paramedic, do it yourselfer, pilot (current job), photography and more craziness. I’m shopping busses now, planning to buy in the next month. I love travel, adventure and the southwest. I lived in Arizona as a kid. My favorites are Utah and Colorado. I’m still trying to decide on nine window or full length. I’d like a garage, but that limits bedroom options (shrinks the living space). Did you pull the ceiling and add insulation or just stick with stock? Since I’ll have to compensate for all the windows thermal inefficiently anyway (I like all the light), it makes me wonder if pulling down the ceiling is worth the extra time. Do you plan on sharing email in the future? It would be great to visit after my Skoolie is complete. Cheers

We didnt pull our ceiling. Kerry is "allergic" to cold so we are going to see a lot of extreme temperatures in our travels. Our email is bussymcbusfacemail@gmail.com 😁

In case that the bus start moving during rain, or a windy day, the flashing rubber will drain.

Kerry..... thats not the correct type of flashing.. or maybe it is 😉

Mike, may i ask why you used plywood on the inside of them, and would just a common board work of?
