  • In this video, we show you how we built our bedroom. We put in 2 sides that can open either from the front or from the back. We also plan on adding 2 side cubbies. This is the groundwork for what is to come.

    I am so proud of you, Meredith. You can do anything now. You can use more tools then I can and I'm 54 yrs old, And you're good at it. Justin and Juby said they wished they had put in a place for Laundry BC it's always in the way, He said she just knocked down a place on the wall in the bedroom area and made a place for it.. so I would use that little side table next to your bed for your laundry. Are you guys going to have a grey water tank?, If your not I would put in another freshwater tank. I would anyway that way you would have plenty of water. I don't know how I keep missing your videos.

    Make sure you drill ventilation holes on the bed platform for your mattress to be able to breath. Lots of van life and bus life people say that without them you will eventually get mold on your mattress.

    GIRL!!! Super duper impressed with you even attempting this on your own!!! Fabulous job!! We are starting our skoolie conversion (just bought less than a month ago) and starting our own channel and I just have to say we have watched TONS of you guys videos and are super appreciative of your encouragement, and information. Thank you so much for your channel! You guys are AMAZING and the build is looking GREAT! Chris and I may suck right now LOL, but with watching you guys as well as Brian and Erin (and many others), we are learning sooo much and hope to one day be semi as good as you guys! I would love to give you guys a shout out on one of our videos but I'm not sure about the rules on that...we are brand spanking new to this and honestly very new in learning about you tube as well. But we really want to give back to the community and be helpful to others like so many have been helpful to us! Rock on GIRL! The C&S Project Chris and Stephanie

  • @watahyahknow
    @watahyahknow Před 4 lety +2

    you need to put sumting between the matras and the bedbottom or there will be mold develloping as the moisture people produce while sleeping cant escape / air out
    czcams.com/video/R1PTfZJbc9w/video.html
    allso a matras is realy heavy and if you want to move stuff inside theres not enough headroom to tilt the matrass straight up to the side , wat you could do is make a liftsystem with pullies and rope to temporarily be able to lift the matras with the plywood up of the bedframe untill its flat against the ceiling where its out of the way and above the backdoor
    or make sumting that you can lift the matras up ontoo under the ceiling (like two 2 by 4's that you can put across the bedroom over the top shelve in a cabinet at each side and under the lifted matras ) or buy a 2 piece matras
