Our Skoolie Roof Raise Takes Shape ~ All* Sheet Metal On 

Wonderful you have someone like Jim, (& Debbie) lookn' good

This job would’ve been damn near impossible with Jim’s knowledge. Saved you most likely a year + of labor and time

Jim is a working machine ⚡️💥

Amazing team work! Love watching you build your new Home on Wheels!

Jim and Debbie are a True Blessing to your Bus Conversion. Making Mad progress!

Jim gave you a crash course in Skoolie build. It has been so much fun watching the two of you (along with Debbie) work together on this project.

Chris, you are awesome.

Great progress with Debbie helping you guys.

Your bus project is so great.. You are doing a supper job. I am quit excited to see how it turns out. This is so fun to see.

I'm afraid that twill whistling would have driven me over the edge.

Wooo! Great timing! Great teamwork bw you 2.

Well I will be honest. If I had a schoolie I wouldn’t raise the roof just because I knew I would f it up really bad lol but your roof raising is looking very very good! Also hi Gladberrys! From: Life Is A Joy!

It's nice seeing someone doing this properly. Promises to be a very nice bus

It’s nice to have pleasant people to work with.

Hi Chris, Is Gina going to do a video series on the decorating end? Welding is fun and all, but I want to see furniture and fabric :-)

I can't wait for the tour, to see G & Kobucks reaction to Irma. 💝 really like the thought put into it. I'm curious as to the transition for the rop step up.

It strikes me how brave you are taking on such a project!!! I wojuld never have the guts to do what you guys are doing. Kudos!

As usual, I’m cheering you on as you go thru this awesome build. Thanks for taking the time to put these vids together and share. The journey looks like so much fun 🚌💨

Jim is a metal superman,all looks good Boys.

Yesss! Jim finally put some gloves on while handling that sheet metal!!! I kept thinking, "Wtf, I hope he does not have an accident", even with him being the tough old dude that he is, lol!!! It is all looking good!!!

Excellent progress, and cool to see your methods on this job.

Good job Chris. I am also in the process of buying almost same bus as yours and i am excited to see how mine goes along...

Starting to take some killer shape looking really good so far.....

I just watched another schoolie. Let me tell you that yours is done better. They put a 3ft raised roof. Great job Chris

Did you say what thickness and length sections of sheet metal were used? I’d appreciate it! Looking good.

Dig'n the video format on this series!! You guys did a good job!

Wow, Chris, so far it's lookin good )) Jim is clearly a master at this...he makes it look so straightforward and everything comes out right (or is that yer editing?) Seeing you guys moving that heavy sheet perfectly into place was impressive...

Nice job I'm here in the uk we started on our bus 2 months ago we have a London double decker bus it's not for living in just weekends away at the moment it's looking nicer than my 1st house and we are only halfway through doing the 2 bedrooms and shower on the top deck

So great of a build. Everyone getting into it is great. When my mother gets into it she kinda goes against the grain and makes things hard or in some cases dangerous , but she is honestly trying. ,,,,But I love the comroderey involved between everyone here. I have e question about the lower body on these great BlueBirds the lower rub rails that span the entire length of the body from about wheel well height all the way to just below the windows. Can any of that awful rub rail be taken off to expose flat metal below? Or even taken off and have flat sheet metal put in its place ???? I've noticed that awful rub rail in these gorgeous bus builds with perfect paint and interior , but that gaudy goofy rails running down the bus that look more like they should be on the gaurd rail of a bridge than on a motor home , it sticks out and ruins a very nice build.

Looks good Chris... Getting there... Take Care

holy moly the Magic Bus is taking shape Chris ! if you guys come to Maine we would set you guys righyn up ! peace

I look forward to the next video from you on the bus...y'all are rockin' this build...how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! Keep on keepin on!

VERY cool beans.

Wow it’s coming along now 👍

Great series.

Getting it done. Pat yourself on the back guy. Take care

Do you think it’s better to overlap the panels like that and lay caulking down or to buy a peice of channel / (kind of like a strip or tounge and grove thing ) where both sheets slide into a channel . And then that’s riveted together. Instead of having the seams where the lap os

Awesome, it’s coming along.

Chris putting in work!! Really great videos!

Enjoying the videos, keep em coming.

You guys are killin it

Looking Awesome!

good camera job

What a kewl process to watch !!!

so I have a question, is Jim doing this for a living? would he be willing to lend his know how and all that to others for a price?

You all look a little tired but all the hard work will pay off.

Good Job!

Making huge progress, I have a section on my You Tube channel (I have a huge subscriber list of three people) dedicated to bus builds, I have added a play list of your build videos. You play list is listed amongst the likes of dzlfreek, James E Dennison, and metaspencer. I will be adding Transcend Existence's build shortly. Keep up the good work and keep the updates coming. Glenn Lever

very nice.

Did you fee like the vhb tape was necessary ? Did it make putting the skin on harder?

Can you tell me what gauge and size pieces you use for that sheet metal?

I've used that bonding tape for a variety of uses for many years and just a heads up, it gives up after a couple years especially in the cold.

Looking great.. super job..

Good work! It's been great following your project. Where are you in Colorado?

So exciting!!

How much weight will be added once your done interior and exterior

What a great job! I use that red 3m tape often, but always have a hard time pealing off the red side. You had so much to do, any tips?

What kind of bird is that I hear ?

cool

Nice :)

I don't understand why more people don't get rid of those awful skoolie windows.

Many and I mean many other builds riveted the metal panels directly to the tubing and didn't bother overlapping horizontally,definitely not needed, entirely up to you but now you have a panel ending where there isn't a post unless u add one, so you've lost that rigidity . Oh well !!

you over lap sheets or?

Where is G ? Oh she is waiting until work is done, right ?

Zep on steroids!

God, that pointless warbling whistling would drive me insane. Great work anyway.

CHRIS, Where's that lazy G ? Why isn't she helping you build her new motorhome ? Just like my ol' lady, makes me do all the hard work then shows up when all is finished & criticizes my work! Why I oughta...One of these days... !

Sociopathic whistlers are consciously aware their mouth noise annoys others.

If he would just vary his annoying whistling...
