- In this video, we show you how we built most in not all of our closets and storage areas. We did this making walls and securing them to the bus with pocket holes.

Mariana Mata, Arlington here, too! Hey, neighbor!
Theresa Hartman hey! Nice meeting you! I love Arlington so much cool things to do here and the football games are ALWAYS wild🤩 haha!
Lol thankfully no splinters. 🤓
it’s coming together nicely for sure 😉
Thank you so much!
G'day Guys very good build especially fixing that wall it turned out well. That night shot of the bus really shows how long it is, its really coming along you have done a great job of it kind regards and stay safe John
Thank you so much John! It was a pain but we were able to fix it! Yes sometimes we forget how long it is!
that Malecon track goes hard b!
Lol right!
What a great episode!! Love the editing and most of all, we LOVE how you two work together! Such an awesome team! It's sooo cool seeing your build coming along. It's amazing seeing your home take shape! You are going to have SOoooo much storage space! WOOOT! Can't wait to see what you do for your bathroom! How exciting! Keep rocking it you two beautiful humans! - Erin + Brian
Thank you so much guys!! Yes storage on storage is the plan ahah we can fill it with chocolate haha!
Good one guys
Thank you very much!!
Hey guys! If you have access to a heat gun then just use it to heat those stickers up and it will active and loosen the adhesive on them so you can peel them off way easier! 🤷♂️ Just an idea💡 love how it's coming along! 👍
That is a great idea Ryan! They always leave residue or it doesn't all come up so we will have to try that thank you!
nice job on closing that gap in the wall , you probably covering it up with the (window) trim alone and the rest will probably be hidden by stuff sitting / hanging in front of it , still it shows workmanship to make it look nearly invissible
looking at the wall near the bed with all the plumbing under it , i think you should leave the part facing the closet open , that way you still have eazy access to everything water related under the bed and can even see the waterlevel in the tank you could allso put a medicine / make up cabinet with doormirror there
(it be mostly out of the way and you both have enough space to put on the finishing touches when you both need to get ready to go out , he can use the mirror in the bathroom and the hot water in the sink to shave and you can sit crosslegged in front of the mirror on the bed )
hope youre planning on putting some covering over the visible parts of the wall , if youre planning on painting the walls youre going to be putting in a lot of filler on it to get it looking smooth
might be a good idea to start looking for plastic crates to put in the bottom of the clothing cabinets and under the bed
rijsdijktweewielers.nl/5099-large_default/basil-transport-krat-groot-zw.jpg
as that gives you the space to conveniantly store the clothes that are out of season (winter or summer clothing) and stuff needed for having a barbeque tools etc a stock size plastic crate is eazier to replace on the road and its quicker to empty the space under the bed out for cleaning or finding stuff stored in the rear
Thank yo very much! Yes that is part of the plan! Thank you for the link!
A compass, like for drawing circles not finding north, is a good tool for scribing.
How did we not think of that! That i a great idea!
Custom cabinet builder.
New expletive... Oh shim!
Hahaha ill be saying it all the time!!
I am in hospital so you 2 have been entertaining me. You 2 work well together ❤
O no!! I'm so sorry. I hope you get better soon. we are glad that we could put a smile on your face
Fantastic job!!! 😍 It's gotta be exciting to be at this stage and seeing it transform before your very eyes! I can't wait to be there, myself on my build. Just waiting for more funds, then getting my bus insulated. 😁
Have you thought about possibly putting a drawer in the closet where you need access to your water pump and pipes? It would give you access by pulling the drawer out and can accommodate that space to your specifications. I don't know how far behind thses videos are, so you may have already come up with a brilliant solution. 😊
I am looking forward to your next video!! Thanks for sharing your progress and process with us, it's been a lot of help.
Thank you so much!! And we sure have thought about that. we need to make sure that we have access to the area in case anything comes up. whether it's a leak or we need to replace something down there. So we do plan on keeping access to the area.
Good job guys! A lot of hard work for you it is looking really good! Yes, it is exciting!
It really is but it is exciting! Thank you!
👍🏻🌹
😎☺️
Thanks for sharing your experiences with building a Skollie! What equipment do y’all use to film and edit?
Absolutely! We use a GoPro 7 and the iPhone 10 to film. To edit we use final cut pro. Hope this answers your question 🤓
I hope your bus is level. But I know you guys check the tire pressure and make sure it's level before you start. looking, great guys.
tirepressure alone doesnt cut it , as the bus will sag on the springs , you could need to crib up the chassis and level it on solid ground , they know that thats why they work of measurements instead of levels and plumbobs , besides that nothing on a bus body is realy level
It is next to impossible to get it level so we do the best we can!
Wish I had a Paco and a Meredith to help me with my build!
there a few people that build their own camper who live on the road and now make a living by traveling from van build to bus build to tiny home build hiring themselves out doing carpentry (wanderboom) mecanics (badger everyone needs one and bus grease monkey ) or welding (Transcend Existence
), amongst many others
if paco and meredith decide to be on the road fulltime that might be a option for them to make money once in a while , there doing a pretty good job with the carpentry and every time i see a problem comming up they seem to head it of and sumtimes with better solutions then i was considering
That would be great! I wish we could!
Thank you!
You guys are awesome! You inspire me to build a camper van or a short bus. I really want to build out a short bus, but I am unable to find one to buy online. If you have any tips on where to find a short bus (skokie) - let me know. Look forward to your next video - love to see the progress you guys are making with the build out!
I will be the first person to tell you that it is not easy but if you feel passionate about it, you should definitely do it. we live in texas and we had good luck with this website - onlinepros.com - you could look into this one. hope this helps
