Excellent video on how to build beautiful cabinets without reinventing the wheel! You kids are great! I'm 64 and about to build out a short skoolie and tiny house at same time, lol.
Thank you very much!
I learned two things in this video. One, how to build cabinets. Which will come in handy since we are starting on our tiny house soon.
The second thing I learned is whoever is singing that song really likes the sound of funky music. I now have a case of Involuntary Musical Imagery.
All joking aside thanks for this video. I think it is the best one showing how cabinets are built and helped me a lot.
Hhahaha one of those was the goal of the video for sure! haha hope the song doesn't get annoying ahah!
Look at you go! Well done.
Thank you so much!
looking good guys!! keep it up
Thank you so much guys!
Thanks for the Ideas and getting that song stuck in my head all day! 🤣
Hhaha at least it is a good one!
G'day bloody good job Meredith and you can tell that it was a hot inside and you were battling through it. They look great you can really see how it's all going to go the cabinets are nice and square and are strong, that wood you used is very nice and will look good once you treat it. If I could just say before you put the sink in it's not a bad idea to waterproof inside the cabinet below with something like Thompson's waterproof seal. Once again spot on kind regards John
Thank you so much! Yes it was a really hot day that day lol yay Texas! We love the birch wood and are trying to decide how to finish it! That is a great idea, we will make sure to treat it some how!
Wow wow woooooo!!!! Those cabinets are coming out AWESOME! Love the thought you put into them on placement and for making'em square! One thing we thought about while watching, is that you could totally make "secret" toe-kick drawers utilizing the void space under the bottom cabinet! Use some magnet latches or something (Shhhh! We won't tell anyone! They're secret!). That Birch looks awesome! What species of birch is it? We used Baltic Birch and the grain is SOOOO much lighter than the nice grain on your's!
Keep rocking it! We believe in you!
- Brian + Erin
Thank you so much!! We have thought about that and we think one day we will add those but for now we are just going to focus on finishing!
I am building my kitchen cabinets right now as well! I did mine 36 tall and 26 deep. I am a tall human so I like that I dont have to bend over the sink. We are supposed to be getting all kinds of sun this week so I hope to get the countertop made and MAYBE put the sink in... MAYBE. You guys are doing awesome and I love that we are both working on the same area at the moment. Go us!
That is so awesome! We did not do traditional measurements either because we wanted to use the space well. That is awesome, I hope you are able to get all that done!
They turned out great!!
Thank you!
Excellent, great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow 👏 😮 👏 😮 👏. Meredith the cabinet bases that my dear is a solid base, girl you make me proud.
Thank you so much!! I was stressing about it but they actually came out pretty good!
I'm so impressed with you young bloods. 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤷🏾♀🤷🏾♀ wow is all I can say.
Thank you so much!!
Awesome guys its coming along nice
Thank you so much!
My fiance and I have been watching your videos and they've been a HUGE help during our skoolie build. I just have to say, even when my computer is muted (at work), Meredith's enthusiasm brings a smile to my face and the two of you constantly remind us to stay positive and have fun with it no matter how stressful it may be. Thanks for that. :)
Hhaha aw thank you so much! Gotta cheer it on am I right
I'm so happy you guys are a few steps ahead of me on the bus because I always have a video to reference once I'm going to do my next step. Lol. This video was so helpful! My partner and I are making our kitchen cabinets tomorrow and I'm so so excited!!
Hey Megan! We are so glad that we can be helpful, let us know how the kitchen turns out!
How did your first day go? And tips yet? Lol
No tips yet! We got to the bus late and still needed to put some walls up so we did that then got the bigger pieces cut for the cabinets! That's all I really needed help with because I can't carry the plywood by myself. Now I can cut the smaller pieces and put it together myself while my partner goes out of town for a week. Then when he comes back we'll put more walls up!
@@meganhampton4668 There’s always something getting in the way of the plan for the day, huh!? Good luck and merry Christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well!
You did a great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job!!
Thank you!
Great job! I'd rather hear the drilling, cutting, etc. Instead of music, maybe that's just me though 😁 Best wishes, & thanks for the inspiration! Christina & The Animal Love Fest Bus 😽😽😽🐺🐰💋🚌
I guess everyone is different and sometimes we leave it as that but Thank you for your input!
Better job than I’m doing lol. Awesome job 👌
Im sure that is not true! But thank you so much!
I usually watch CZcams on my television and I can’t comment. Or if you can I haven’t figured that out. Your kitchen is so awesome I am watching on my iPad today. It is beautiful and coming along so well. I can’t wait to see the finished product but then what will I watch. 🤷♀️ Great job you two!
Oh wow thank you so much! Yeah trying to figure out the different platforms on different devices can get complicated!! Thank you so much for your support!
Oh, my! I can only hope to be as good as you are putting together custom cabinets! Such a great job! Great choice on that birch, I love the grain.
Thank you so much!! It was not easy but it was easier than I thought it was going to be!
The cabinets look great and as usual you did a great job explaining each step. Whenever Paco cuts wood he makes it look so precise that I find myself saying, "just like butter baby." 😆
Thank you so much! HAHhah yeah he sets up each board for about 10 mins before so he can get just the right cut haha
I was a framing carpenter and renovated 6 homes that I’ve owned. You, girl, are an excellent worker and I do believe that you do much better work than I could ever hope to do. Good for you!
Wow, thank you! That is such an amazing compliment!!
That’s just beautiful!
Thank you so much!
You are very welcome!
Being that I wrestled in high school and college. I enjoy seeing you all wear your wrestling shirts. A sport that is not as you call a big sport. But is highly physical and mental
That awesome! Paco is the one who wrestled, I just wear his shirt haha! But I agree 100% it calls for so much discipline and focus that so many people don't know about. I truly appreciate the athletes and the sport!
WOW, Great work Meredith.
Thank you so much! It was a team effort!
Great job guys! This makes us want to build our own instead of going to IKEA 😍
Thank you so much! You so should, we thought it was going to be much harder and were going to do ikea as well. But as long as you work out the details ahead of time you can totally do it and it will be cheaper!
@@GustheStruggleBus welp, sounds like I gotta convince Kaitlyn to trust my woodworking skills 🤣
great job on the tiny kitchen, you are so strong to carry that huge pice of ply wood.
Thank you so much! Hhah I can't go to far with it, those things are so heavy!!
Yes you did👏👏👏👏👏 it is so special to watch you achieve these different goals. Much love to both of you :-)
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic job on the cabinet framing.
Thank you so much!
Wow... great job guys👍🏼. Glad you guys built your own.. it’s not too bad as long as you make straight cuts! We have been going back and forth between cheaper used cabinets, ikea, or making our own. I think we will also do our own due to all the customizations that occur on a skoolie😉. Keep chipping away guys, you are getting close!
Thank you so much!! Yeah it was a little stressful because if you don't cut straight then the drawers will be really hard but we did our best! We thought about buying them for a while but this turned out to be way better!
@@GustheStruggleBus I did cabinets in so cal while going to college.. it would be a shame to not make our own😂. Good work again, happy Halloween too! We will put up a video of where we’re at on our bus soon too. I can’t imagine making videos while making your new home! Big high 5 to y’all!
I like your in situ method of building the cabinets. Pretty slick. I did have a concern about your water heater... is there appropriate clearance for any venting of heat above it if the sink is there? I would use the side door to pull the shopping cart up beside the bus and put bags under the sink when you take the bus on the road... easier to unload groceries that way.
Thank you so much! We made sure to include the proper clearance for the heater but we might add a vent later! That is a great idea about the groceries thank you!
Awesome job guys!! Impressive skills 😊
Thank you so much 😁
Hi guys,
I’ve been enjoying your journey since the beginning. I’m always blown away with you creativity and courage.
My question is what are you going to do about power to your stove/oven? I hadn’t noticed an outlet behind the cabinet.
Thank and keep up the amazing work!
Hey Thank you so much for your support! We actually plan on having a propane oven range!
Ok, that makes sense. We have a propane stove as well but it still requires a 110v outlet in order for the electric gas igniter.
👍🏼❤️🚌
Great job as usual..
So , be careful storing cleaning supplies under sink with the on-demand pilot light there.
Thank you so much! Yes that is a great point!
Good morning
Hey! Glad you figured out the chat and joined us!
You guys should put the ac first.. it looks pretty hot in there!... great job keep it going!!
Hhaha we really do need to put it in! We just got our mini spit actually so installing that will be soon!
No deberían haber cerrado las puertas de emergencia por cualquier accidente . DEJEN UNA PUERTA QUE SE PUEDA SALIR SALUDOS Y FELICITACIONES PACO AND MEREDITH
Nosotros dejamos todas las puertas accesibles por si hay alguna emergencia. Solamente no se parece por la forma que nosotros hemos construida todo 😁
Had you guys considered using the kick space for storage?
We have considered that, we might add that later but right now we just want to focus on finishing.
I'm a cabinet/ furniture maker by trade, I like that you guys are using real plywood. Build it with good materials and it will last for a long time. Good job. What are you going to do for your drawers?
Thank you so much! We wanted something sturdy and good looking! We plan on doing a few shelves and some drawers yes!
Trying to understand why you blocked the side doors with cabinets.
One is not blocked, the cabinet can move and the other was for counter space
What is the cost comparison I wonder?
We are not sure but after we make the drawers and fronts we will compare and let you guys know!
Hi are you going to paint the bus if so what colour
Yes we do plan on painting the bus! But we are not sure what color yet
Lake Travis? Are you guys in Austin?
We are in the Houston area, we got the bus from a school auction in Lake Travis
@@GustheStruggleBus Cool! I'm in ATX and am learning soooo much from you guys! Great job!
How much was the wood you used
The birch wood is more expensive than the other and is about $50 per sheet
Didn't realise you didn't move with the change of summer to winter time, so missed the premiere...
Aw Im sorry, we have the time change tonight! Thank you for watching though!
Are you going to paint gus?
One day! lol
Do you have Instagram ?
We do! It is @Gus.gps
Why cabinets on the doors that make it not good.
That is just how our floor plan worked out, we did not want to but we would had to have moved the bathroom up or left a space and we did not want to do that, they will still be able to open and the smaller cabinet will move so we can still have that door open!
I love your video and u are beautiful to look at but I really hate your background music I don't know why it had to be put in your video
Thank you very much, we have to use copyright free music so it is hard to choose and find the best music all the time but we do our best
Please tone down the music just a little, itd been great until this video,thanks gf.
You guys are doing a great job!
Thanks for the tip!
