Framing Bus Windows ~ Skoolie Floor Plan ~ H Channel Mod 

Great video. You are educating hundreds of people all at the same time.....but think. As long as You Tube exist. You will be helping many many people for years to come. The only gift second to life is knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is nothing short of fascinating.

Chris your bearded friend is a pretty smart guy. Sounds like a lifetime of experience behind everything he says. I would pay close attention to him, he gives good advice. Nice project, can't wait for the final results. Keep up the good work.

That older fella is absolutely awesome!!!

I'm sure Jim is really happy that you made this video because didn't go into this much detail when he did his conversation it's going to help so so many folks when they are about to do there conversation. Thanks guys..

This is gonna be a beaut! Thanks for taking us along the ride Chris!

Loving this project. Thanks Chris. It's fun to watch.

Loving the layout idea with the tape - looks awesome so far.

Chris, great job. Loving this build!

every episode is an instant like. I'm amazed by how quickly this is coming together and I can't wait to see the finished product!!! I'm excited for you and G!!!

Watch out! I saw a tiger! 😄

This is sooo very exciting!!!! Looking forward to this journey!!!!

Great big bus it looks like you're building a real good home. Thank you showing us your home

Really looking good.

Great. I hate to say it. But I can see how much higher quality this bus will be than 90% of rv out there. The bones of this home just have so much more strength than your average rushed built rv. This has been a great decision

This is BY FAR one of the most amazing projects I have ever watched. How blessed you are to have a great teacher and guide. This is EPIC! Cannot wait for each new episode!

My Husband & I travel Australia full time in a caravan and these videos make me want a bus so bad! I love how you are creating it from the start it’s going to be brilliant!

I am learning so much from these videos and I am not even planning to build a skoolie. These videos will be a valuable resource for folks in the future.

It's going to be huge! Looking forward to the finished product.

You both are doing an Awesome job,it looks very good,thank you for sharing

Loving these videos you really got me thinking chris

I'm dig'n the build series man. Jim is such a nice guy....awesome!

Looking good guys

Amazing job Chris!!! From Zep, to Atlas to the newest, personalized skoolie...I already forgot the name lol. Keep up the good work! We miss G and Kobuck too!!! Continue to work safely bro...Blessings to you guys.

coming along nicely, great job so far

Jim is a very talented man, but he is also a teacher, not many people can do both well.

This is incredibly cool.

Loving the amount of videos!!

Great music

That's a big undertaking guys!

Love that last part.. he's like, "we'll see" Haaa.. love it

Lovin' the build videos!

Nice :) Your Skoolie is progressing well :)

Another good video!

Looking good guys!! #buslife

I thought you had background "music" of a saw being played. I just realized that was Jim whistling.😆 The bus is looking great. Great job!!!

It's coming together Chris.... Lot of work though. But it will be nice. Take Care Man

Fascinating! What a great build. It would be nice to know more info on the skoolie, ie. length, year, engine.

Awesome. You need a roof hatch to open while you shower under the stars or snows while you shower

Chris, give us some details about your mobile income work if its something you can share! I personally am always looking for something I can do on the road. Loving the build!

Looking great! That seems like a lot of emergency windows though. What are you planning for?

Really nice, I would pass on the original bus window is the budget permits. The RV windows will set you Bus apart, you definitively do not want to feel like you are living in a cave put as many windows in as you can. A slower bit will actually cut better and save the bit from burning up. You are making great progress. Glenn Lever

Chris, any thoughts on maybe adding a 'garage' area on the very back? Maybe 3' in where you could store a tool chest, bikes and other items you might need access to in a repair, breakdown, or maintenance situation? It could be completely walled off from the bedroom and only accessible from the outside. Just a thought and hadn't seen any detail on the layout. Best of luck and great work on the bus!

Like your layout but I would consider whether you really want your dining area directly across from your bathroom/lavatory area. If you notice most floor plans avoid that in a layout, and why you find bath/dining usually on the same side or if on alternate sides staggered so that your bathroom does not open up right into your eating area and layouts just simply avoid this. Part of this might just be aesthetics and when selling an RV floor plan that often is something people don't like to see that they have the bathroom right next to where they eat. Also, if you have ever been in an RV with a plumbing problem for a couple of days and its right across from your dining area it puts the dining area out of commission and that is a bit of a problem. This is often why you find floor plans with the bathroom door opposite the refrigerator/pantry or other storage or washer/dryer area so that its just not opening up on the eating/cooking/living section of the RV.

wow. look sooo spacious!

Good video. Have you had any issues with your windows cracking or wearing weirdly? You put them in real good and tight.

I could probably watch 10 hours of this via live stream, great work!!! You 2 seem to have good work chemistry together which is important for a job this big. Is that a 110 or 220 Hobart welder? Did I just see someone walk by in a tiger costume or was I imagining things.

Would of been nice toof setup a drill press with a setup stop, to pre-drill all the holes on the channels before welding them

Have you thought about putting you bed on a pull rig so you c could pull bed up when not in use, or even a merfee(?) bed. Then you have another small space for an office?

Be sure to distribute the weight out evenly. And try to keep things lightweight.

Question.. Why do you want the dining table across from the bathroom? I feel like you could make the bathroom bigger and move the dining table up front and use it for your laptop. Overall the project is coming along great!

nice.... I bet you will have 1000 plus hours into this build when done.

For the 11 ga angle could you drill it on a drill press first?

I watched Jim as he was building his bus and I think as with anything the next time you do the same thing you get better at it or find a better way of doing something. Chris your bus is 2.0 the improved version.

Dose anyone know where he got his windows?I love the look of them on the bus!

On them back rib it's where the metal is thin you can use a 8 inch drill bit and drill them out that way you don't have to use the air hammer

Hi Chris, Question, are you using Dual Glaze windows?

I gotta ask, was the 20" roof raise due to the size of the metal sheet? It just seems excessive seeings how you already had head clearance from the get-go. Just wondering about stability and fuel consumption.

So where's the Kobuk area going to be :-)

How about emergency windows that open upward like the rear one? And would also kinda act like an awning...

4:01 Keepin' it LIT

Will you be taking out the rubber floor?

Hey Chris what's the height of the bus now?

How about Kobuk's crate and bed, etc?

Where did you get your windows from?

Why did you not raise that front portion of the cabin?

use a drill press on the angle iron before it's welded.

On your welder, are you using flux core wire? I don't see an argon tank anywhere.

How much is all this costing you so far

Hope you ordered a air rivet gun when you were doing this

who is the tiger walking through the background @6:30?

You have a Bengal tiger after your wife in the yard guys!!

Chris I was wondering why your going through all the work and expense raising the roof of your skoolie when you were able to stand up before raising the roof ?

Hopefully, drilling those holes did not turn out to be the "total hell" I was hearing it was going to be, lol!!!

I just saw a tiger!

Pre-drill on a press....

Jim reminds me of Grizzly Adams, I'm sure someone has noticed this too

Where is Gina?

Q: What's up with the tiger? 6:27

stick a bit af fake fur over the mic hole of the cam that will dampen a LOT of the windnoise ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iZJUy1gwdXs.html btw if youre welds dont look realy good (lot of soot on the weld or welds are poreus) it because the same wind is blowing the shielding gas away from the weld , to solve this you can use wire meant for gas les welding (flux core)

Saw a Tiger twice.......What Up

Tried to watch your videos no Rhyme or Reason all out of order forget you
