    LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this video! You have done such a great job framing out the bathroom! Looks like you will have lots of space! Glad you didn't do a wet bath. Haha we didn't want to deal with that either. ;)
    Props on the sick footage & edits! WOWZA! Gosh, you were both nailing the shots of each other, close ups, swoothes, zooms, rack focus, and in camera tricks that make things interesting! PLUS the song.... Cutest song EVER!

    • @GustheStruggleBus
      @GustheStruggleBus  Před 4 lety

      Thank you so much! This was such a fun step to do, we are trying to keep it interesting haha! Gotta get creative when you have to film the same thing over and over again! That thing on the wall is actually a magnetic bowl, to hold screws or something while you are working! We had a protective plate there so we stuck it there to hold up the wall when we were measuring and attaching it lol! That song is pretty catchy huh, so glad she let us use it. Thank you so much for all the support!

    take in account that the tankless waterheater will put out some serious heat out the top , could be nice to use as extra heating in the shower but can allso mean that some tiles inside the shower could become too hot to touch

  • @BussyMcBusface
    @BussyMcBusface Před 4 lety +1

    Looking really good! I am super concerned about that water heater though. For washing your hands, it would be fine but for a shower, the amount of heat that will build up inside the cabinet borders on dangerous. Just an observation. Just because it is ventless doesn't mean is doesn't need ventilation.

    • @GustheStruggleBus
      @GustheStruggleBus  Před 4 lety +1

      Thank you! We did a lot of research on that heater and plan on keeping a close eye one it, some test runs as well. We know a few people who are using it and how they have it mounted as well. We will find a way to vent out that area down there it will have a lot of clearance and we plan on coating the inside of that cabinet with something that can get hot. If not we will get to plan G! Thank you so much for your concern and we will make sure to be careful!

    Kerf cut your 2x4’s to make the curves for your ceiling supports. Look it up and you’ll find plenty of info and demonstrations on effective kerf cutting instead of steam bending or making it extra hard by cutting out curves off of larger material. I enjoy the footage of the build as bus builds should show it, but lay off the ridiculous spinning and swooping motions of pocket hole drilling pls

    • @GustheStruggleBus
      @GustheStruggleBus  Před 4 lety
