Many thanks to Kim & Ethan for showing us their amazing home. It’s definitely one of the best self converted skoolie we have ever seen. What do you like most about it?
Love
R&I
It’s a brilliant build and I like all the small details that make the space look so homey. 😍
I definitely agree! 😊👍
This build is stunning! I love the kitchen and all the wood throughout. How do people know about the weight limits when driving with all this wood and water tanks etc? Just trying to learn!☺️
@@kellys.7097 The weight limits are always posted on the vehicle itself, usually on a door, at least in cars.
If for some reason that placard is missing or illegible, you can always contact the manufacturer, if Google doesn’t yield the information.
Everything it is Beautiful
Finally! Someone who has more than 3 items of clothing! LOL Much more realistic for closet space in this one!
Lol it was one of the things we didn’t want to compromise on!
I agree😂
Nico😘💓😍
Just when I thought I had already seen the best schoolies.
Right! This is perfect! Really good job!
Enjoy!
Thank you!
I know, right??
Ikr 🤗
Wait for mine give 1 to 2 years
It seems that the bar gets raised often on schoolie builds. What a stellar result and so refreshing that they gave credit to people like his dad. I love how everything has a place. These two are obviously very smart and capable. Loved them both and their beautiful home!
Thank you! Definitely lots of time and thought went into the build. It’s nice to get all of this positive feedback!
Not only an absolutely stunning conversion, but two lovely people who are dog lovers!! Don’t get much better ❤️🏴❤️
Ditto, could have said the exact same thing!!!!!! Lovely peeps.
Hands down, the best bus design, most aesthetically pleasing, well presented bus tour I've seen out of the hundreds I've watched! So many make nomads the mistake of detailing absolutely everything in drawers/cabinets, so the general outlining of contents in this video is much better. So many storage solutions I adore. Loving all the woodwork, the windows, the kitchen layout, the bathroom. Dog (and cat!) lovers always get my vote and here there is such fantastic provision for the hounds. I adored them playing in the background of the kitchen segment lol. Happy travels to this couple. I wish them joy of the home on wheels.
Thanks so much for the kind words! No one was forgotten in the design of our build!
They really thought of everything!! Such an amazing build and you can tell how much thought, work, and love was put into this build
Thanks! Twas a labor of love!
Oh. My. God. This is the BEST Skoolie! The layout and design are brilliant, the quality is top-notch. The artistry, is beyond words. The dog house is just the cherry on top!
PS-- 🎶 Movin' right along,🎶
I just love that headboard. Isn' t just the coolest Americana folk-art that is an example of how something practical can be so gorgeous and inspired. Sweet dreams of going down the road.
Love this!
Thank you!
This is an amazing schoolie. It's the nicest I believe I've seen. I love the counters, the headboard, n I love how they went around the windows with whatever it is they used. So cool how they made the dog area. Plus the closet for all their clothes. Just amazing. I would live on there in a heart beat.
The curved pieces were made from 1/8" strips of wood glued and pressed into a custom made from using pipe clamps.
Nice build and good idea giving you travel for work very nice👍🏾
This one the best way we could think of to make it a reality!
That’s a stunning house I would never get rid of it ,if the motor went on it I would buy another one it’s beautiful the dogs love it as well good job people
That’s the plan!
Love the head board,I bet you could get paid for doing them for people.Way to go kids
If only we could take a full wood shop on the road with us!
@@weissfamily4226 Some people actually do!
This is a beautiful conversion
My favorite skoolie there ever was!
Your home is beautiful. Loved the playful pups and their sweet mini-suite! Thank you for sharing this video. Super smart to have a dedicated beverage fridge. Everything seems well organized, uncluttered and incredibly spacious. All the best :)
Thanks! Organization is key when living tiny! You learn that pretty quickly
You need a CZcams channel! So interesting seeing your finished bus. Thankyou for sharing
I wish we had the time for that! Maybe someday!
Everything looks beautiful and neat!
PS. I love the dogs playing outside at min 1.01 🤗
One of the many enjoyable views we’re constantly spoiled with!
This is my favorite skoolie.... I could see my self living in a conversion similar to this... I love the space and arrangement of the storage and living spaces, because they all go together but also looks like separate spaces...
Lovely Couple and a great build. Love the doggies too:)
I love your Skoolie beautiful
Wow. What a stunning kitchen counter top .😍 May I also add that the shelf's ie the tea shelf's they match I love how the black line lines up perfectly 😍 absolutely great work and what a stunning kitchen infact the whole bus it's it's just fantastic. What a beautiful bus/home to live in.
Fantastic work guys you have thought of everything and I mean everything!!!!
Everyone in your family has their own space and by doing the space you done for your dog's proves beyond a doubt that you both have thought of everyone in your family!!!! Even down to any overnight guests you may encounter!
This is a fantastic, beautiful, stunning and truly amazing build 💕💕💕💕 you guys should be so so so so very proud of yourselves 👏👏👏👏
Thankyou for allowing us to see your home.
Again such attention to detail and a truly fantastic, amazing, beautiful and stunning build. Everyone dogs included are thought about in this beautiful home/bus.
Beautiful dogs by the way 🐶🐶 they aren't small either but their size has been taken in account in their own "bedroom" 😍😍 oh my days the dogs have pillows 😮 those dogs are not only truly loved, they are blessed with human parent's and I am guessing they are spoilt too 😍🐶😍🐶😍
Wow guys even your roof desk is beautiful bet you sure do enjoy being up there having a nice cold beer or two 🍻🍻
I am amazed that you got such an incredible home for $20,000 😮😮😮😮 that's absolutely fantastic!!!!
Fancy coming to the UK and doing me a bus or van build????
Lisa UK xxxx
Appreciate the kind words! We’d love to come to the UK but gotta take time and enjoy our build for awhile first!
Me being a dog mom myself, can appreciate fellow dog parents and their need to not only make a comfortable living space for themselves, but also for their furbabies! Very beautiful home! 😊
As a school bus driver for 22 years? I love it all. Wish l was younger would do. Thanks
Hello guys, this is not "just another skoolie", it's a warm home. One of the best conversions I have ever seen. Ten points both in the practical and aesthetic aspects. Excellent use of light (natural and electric) fantastic use of space (storage, free space and...dogs bedroom 👏🐶).
Awesome woodwork...etc.. Guys you built a beautiful and cozy nest. Compliments!!!!😊⚘
Thanks so much! This kind of feedback is part of what makes all that work worth it!
@@weissfamily4226 You're welcome. Blessings for you guys and enjoy your home. 😊⚘
Wow absolutely gorgeous! You guys thought of everything! Love the dog bed and the can crusher is genius! The decor is so beautiful!
Hello Susan, hope you don't mind us being friends okay 🌹
Nice usual design but looks spacious and thank goodness you have your dogs sleep separately. Happy living.
Very nicely done and you took care of your dog comfort 👍
They are family after all!
I love the dog area and lots of cabinets. I would have ot for an Lshape kitchen that give a bigger bathroom. But. I do love the cleanliness of it.
Might go L kitchen on the next build!
The kitchen, one word: exquisite.
I love the color scheme!! And that back accent wall, and the resin on the counters, shelves...love it all! Looks so much roomier than most of these I watch.
Excellent build !
So neat and beautiful !
LOL! Had forgotten can crushing. They are worth 10 cents in MI, uncrushed. Nice bus.
Why uncrushed? They just get recycled either way.
Nice to see your two dogs sharing your skoolie life. All the best and God bless .
Hello Mary, hope you don't mind us being friends okay 🌹
I love how the jeep and the Skoooli color matches!
Boil a large pot of water. The steam will help add much needed moisture to the air. Leave the pot of water on the stove too; as the water evaporates the air will have some moisture. A cool mist humidifier may also help.
Your bus home is very nice.
Beautiful love the windows in the kitchen area….lots of storage…. Shower area….dog area!,😂😂😂 wonderful
Lovely 🏠, love the dog's area 💝
I can't believe 3 people did not like the Video or the Skoolie-Jealous? I guess 3 downers are not bad out of 10k views. Best Skoolie I ever seen.
There’s always gonna be haters 🤷🏻♂️
@@weissfamily4226 Yup - and haters are definitely going to hate. Life is much too short to let them get to one.
I’ve watched a ton of Schoolie videos. Yours is the best I’ve seen. Love the layout and the colors, everything about it is awesome.
Sometimes you just get lucky! The original plans did not include the color scheme we ended up with at all!
What a BIG beautiful beast of a bus!
It’s not the quickest but we thinks it’s pretty cool too 😎
Oh boy Do I love your Mobile 🏠.. it is absolutely beautiful ❤️🥰.
I actually think this is the best build I have ever seen because bed is always available and the long way not the short way, I hope everyone follows suit .
Such a beautiful bus. I love the layout and the Dog House! Aren't those puppies gorgeous 😍💙💚.
Hi, out of ALL the buses I've seen on your, this is by far the nicest, most creative one I've seen.
Love watching the dogs play out the window in the beginning of video. Gorgeous home also. Best wishes
The dogs straight up declaring war in the background was the best part by far
Beautiful skoolie
❤❤❤
As one of the afformentioned car enthusiasts, the Recaro seat and carbon fiber dash on an old bus is hilarious to me lmao
Your bus is beautiful. The ceiling is a wow factor for me. Distracted a few times from watching the dogs play. 🐾🐾😂🐾😂🐾 ❤️❤️
They always manage to steal the show!
Love it. Bravo. Dog house is so clever, the garage storage area is so efficient. The ceiling is beautiful, the cabinets also. The art, the can crusher, the bathroom. Everything is so well done. I wish you the best of life and safe travel and happiness.
We got our ceiling inspo from @vanlifesagas
AWESOME in every aspect. BEST I’ve seen. So many spend far, far more to end up with so much less. Hard to imagine all you have ...... for “only” $20,000!
Enjoy & stay safe 😊
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Be excellent to one another and cherish each other. Peace and Much Love to You. ❤🐕🐕❤🌻🧘♀️🕊😇
I live in jersey. I know how cold it got in 2018, 19 ,20. Those polar vortexes were terrible. My fiance was working with his brother at the time, a client had a new deck put on their home in 2018. In winter. Good luck you guys. And congrats on getting married to, be careful and enjoy make those memories.
Absolutely love it
As a beer enthusiast myself, thanks for the idea of the can crusher!
The bus looks great. Very well thought out and designed. Lots of attention to the small details and it really shows in the quality of your build.
Great build, cute couple.
No matter if your children are human or fury ones this is the first I’ve seen that you have taken consideration of the entire family, have been a rescue/foster for 24 yrs, seen the good, the bad, I love to hear/see young people like yourselves accomplish your goals.
Just beautifully built.
Magnificent headboard!
Thanks! Kim killed it!
YAY......Finally found someone from THE BURGH....SO AM I
There are several others around the burgh! Mainly north of the city. Let us know if you need any contacts!
The best schoolie I’ve ever seen. Very well done.
I love the white around the windows, best ive seen so far,
Thanks! My dad took them on as a challenge but would never do them again.lol not the easiest process
It's gorgeous.
One on the nicest builds I have seen thank you for showing it have fun safe travels.
So organized makes for a smart mind
love bus builds. so much space. stunning. Beautiful
Love, love, love your skoolie home!
Absolutely beautiful bus, you guys have done an exceptional and tasteful job!
I really love this plus as a former great dane owner I can respect the idea of building a place with the dogs in mind. They both are truly lucky to have you guys.
This Skoolie is Very Nice, Well Done!
This is an amazing little home! This is definitely one of my favorite skoolies so far and has everything you need. Love the dog house!!!! The giant closet is also a must in my book. Gorgeous design! Happy traveling to you and your puppies!
We wanted to be as comfortable as possible so minimal compromises were made in the design and layout of our build! We’re a bit spoiled but loving every minute of it
@@weissfamily4226 Nothing wrong with spoiling yourselves! Especially with something like your home. It's truly lovely!
This is like the best schoolie I have seen in awhile, great job and I like the thought that went into the build.
THIS! This is a keeper. ❤
We think so too!
Beautiful build!! Clean and elegant!
Beautiful home. Love all the work put into making it so beautiful.
If you make another one I want to buy it! I love the house and the dogs!
I love the dog house it look so cozy. Takecare. God bless. Bye.
Beautiful home
What a lovely bus! Awesome design and theme too ✨ First bus I see with a garage that looks like an actual garage, wow!
I follow them on Instagram and I’ve been waiting for a tour. I love their bus! - Jenny
Wish we had the time to run our own CZcams channel to make these a more regular thing! Thanks for following along!
Wow Awesome just like a house!!!!!!!🤗💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏I really enjoyed this bus design.👍❤
I absolutely love everything you did in your beautiful skoolie. The work done is outstanding. You are a lovely, sweet couple and I LOVE that you LOVE your furbabies!!! I am a big animal lover and I can tell that you love your furbabies!!! It was so nice to meet them too. I am following you now on Instagram and on FB!!! 🐾💓🐾
The pups really make the build what it is!
@@weissfamily4226 They really do! 🐾❤️🐾
I love your cozy home and the counter tops are amazing!
Beautiful build! Love the doghouse🥰😎. God Bless❣️
Your Skoolie is the most beautiful Skoolie I have ever seen! It is amazing! I love the ceiling best of all! I haven’t seen a black DIY composting toilet, and I love it also! Beautifully designed and built! I hope you enjoy many years together in your beautiful Skoolie! WW
phenomenal tiny home! and lovely tour....many thanks!
A most beautiful home.❤
Love your bus
I have watched over 1000 van, skoolie, and rv conversion videos and I thought I already had seen the best ones and I def have a top 10 list but wow wow wow! This video has changed all of that. This is going in my top of my top 10 list. That headboard is absolutely stunning! Y’all could easily make those and sell those on the road. I’m sure y’all could fit a couple wood working tools on the bus somewhere lol. As soon as I saw the dogs playing outside in the beginning of the video I was hooked. I can tell y’all are good doggie parents. But great job you too! Y’all should be so proud of yourselves, y’all did amazing! Happy and safe travels!
Just beautiful!
This is a beautiful bus build. We are buying a Catamaran, but the more I watch these bus builds the more I'd rather be in one of them!
Your garage set up is so beautifully organized and efficient! Love it.
It’s been redone several times already but I think I’m finally happy with it. Organization is key!
Hey, so nice! I love your bus and the way you designed the dog space. Very loved and lucky dogs.
Emma, Black Forest, Germany
This is gorgeous! It looks so cozy and homey. So many well-thought out details too.
Amazing build, those dogs are adorable
I absolutely love love love your bus.
Absolutely beautiful 😍
very beautifull, organized and spacious looking... bed set up is exxellent....
Definitely a quality job.
One of my favourite skoolies buses.
Thanks for sharing.
