School Bus Conversion Timelapse (2.5 years in 13 minutes) - Bus to Tiny Home w/no Experience 

Your statement about not needing a break, rather needing to get better is something that EVERYone should take to heart. You didn't give in to frustration instead you simply got better. You are actually an inspiration and whoever is lucky enough to catch your eye will be one lucky individual.

You may have bought a bus, but you built a home. You climbed learning curve after learning curve, and were brave enough to show the world how it's done. I was lucky enough to be here for most of it, and am so impressed with the drive and tenacity that you show while accomplishing your vison. Congrats, Emma!

I think that you being a young woman and doing all this for the most part alone is awesome ! Your parents must be so proud of how they raised you ! Enjoy your build and life ! You are an amazing young woman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emma, keeo it running, and never ever give it up..

So we've watched you do an amazing job on this bus. Don't forget to bring us along on the adventure.

I've been watching since the beginning and I still look forward to each video. Thank you for taking us on your adventure. I use your videos to inspire all the women I know.

Emma you did a beautiful job I have been watching you for every episode and I know you would run across the finish line with flower power.

WOW I can remember the day you White Knuckled Driving that Bus for the first time, and All the FLASH BACKS! Wonderful! Love all your ideas, good and bad, Your Adorable and Wonderful! FULL OF SPUNK! keep going Lil Emma! You are such an Inspiration! Thank You! BE SAFE !!

I just bought my first bus today. This is absolutely inspirational! Thank you !

❤ this shows YOU how much of a CHAMPION you are. This is something to be PROUD OF. You rock, Emma, keep on going, keep bringing us travel videos now. We'll done!❤

Been with you since the beginning and have been impressed and inspired. Your mistakes have been valuable lessons and you take things in stride. You’ve become really good at figuring things out and your personality and sense of humor are wonderful. You’ve made a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing the journey. Get out there and enjoy. You’ve earned it 🩵

Emma you did great. You were afraid in the beginning but proved if you try you cam do it. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤

This shows just how much work you have done. You should be proud 😊

I remember you just showed up one day on my feed, I thought oh why not see what’s going on here. I had to go back and watch the first 2 episodes first. I kept thinking no way she can do most of this alone. Each episode you could see your confidence building, just like your home on wheels. Each week I’d think , nope, not going to work but you proved me wrong. I’ve been involved in some form of construction most of my long life. Emma, what you’ve done is amazing. You should be extremely proud of yourself. The build was great, but your personality is mostly what kept me watching every week. Why you don’t have more followers is beyond me. Safe travels.

There is so much I want to say. I had forgotten I have been following you since the beginning - when you bought your bus. Wow!! A long time. Also I love how far you have came in your skills. Wow. Watching the first part and seeing you struggle to the last as you just know what to do. I love watching you and look forward to more. Xoxo

Building memories right along with you Emma! I'm smiling. 😁😉👋👍

So many memories! I remember all of them because I and many others were there with you(virtually)! Let's see what kind of trouble you can get into next LOL!!

💚 I began watching when you started to paint the bus n it was so much fun watching your determination. Thanx for the memories.

Talk about a labor of love. It may have been your 1st build, but the results look like they were done by a seasoned professional.

Time sure fly's...Have followed this whole series,you are such an inspiration to the diy single women...

It sure brings back memories Emma. All the good times you gave us the last years. And still give that’s the best part 😝. Enjoy your trip. Greetings from 🇳🇱.

I've been watching you for 2 years now and it's amazing how you've grown more confident and how wonderful your bus has turned out Emma. You've done so well and I've loved watching you the whole way.

At about the 6:55 time marker you said "What have I done" Well I might say you have done an Absolutely Wonderful job, sure it took time and you had wonderful help and idle time to get those creative juices flowing but BIRBIE has emerged. I bet if you put seats back in the bus everyone would rather ride on your bus than an orangie-yellow behemoth. Great Job Thanks for sharing and safe travels.

It's been great following you from the day you got the bus Emma, videos like this show you how much blimmin work you've done...you've done great and the bus is looking fab 👌

Very impressive,

Been watching since nearly the beginning of this journey, it's been quite the ride. Proud of how far you've come Emma, many others might have given up but you've stuck with it. Here's to the journey still to come.

I'm waiting to see what the bus looks like when it's finished.😊

Emma, I've been watching your videos since day 1 and I've been enjoying them every step of the way. I love your tenacity and motivation so much, it is truly inspiring! I love watching how you took your mistakes and are learning from them and you've gotten better and better at scribing and other stuff as well. Now it's time to just sit back and enjoy the bus!

Having missed many of the earlier episodes, this was fun to watch. What a huge, impressive project to complete.

Great time lapse. Your exuberant sense of accomplishment and joy, in the last video, stuck with me. Amazing seeing how happy Birbie makes you ! Congrats. Keep up the awesome work

I've watched you build your bus from day one and it came out awesome you did an excellent job

Your determination is impressive, very inspiring

Best time of the month

What a journey!! When I first found your channel, I thought I had some advice to offer here and there. Now I think you can advise me on bus building!!😂

Been following your journey since the beginning. The progress you’ve made is awesome. Birbie looks great.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

So proud!! You ROCK!!

Great job!!! You deserve to be proud of your work.

Great job, 😊and I've watched nearly all of it! Can't wait to see what's to come next! Have fun, and this Grandma sends lots of love, and I am so proud of all your hard work!

Wow. You've really come a long way. Congrats!

🎉 you've done an amazing job with your Skoolie

That was cool to look back on, to see how much you have learned and to see your confidence grow. Bravo!

yaaaaaaaay!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ye did it emma! congrats! enjoy birbie! continued travel mercies and blessings! 🕊

Great video, I enjoyed the build.

I binge watched your early videos. I enjoyed your process so much, you've done a great job!💜💜💜💜💜

I am really impressed. Great work!

Hard working princess! You should be so proud of yourself. Good luck and enjoy!

Saw you on Joe & Emmalees live from the bus fair. Hope you had fun!

i love how you can also see how Winston grows up during it

Emma I’m so proud of you. Your bus/home looks great. I’m almost sad the build is finished. I’ve looked so forward every week all these months to see what you were doing next. I hope you continue doing your videos and find another project to do. Maybe a tiny house somewhere. 😉Whatever you do just continue with your videos. Have a great 4th of July. 🎆🎇🧨🇺🇸

Awesome job!🎉

I forgot about all the wasps, and how tiny the dog was for a short while lol. Back when I was giving all sorts of building advice even though I knew by the time you saw it you had already figured it out. I knew you had it when you cut that floor piece out correctly. Great to be here on the journey with you, thanks for sharing it.

Great work 😊

That was a lot of work.

so so so inspiring!!!! I am a really prepared person and have been waiting to do this because I don't feel like I have enough knowledge... seeing you do this and just own it really made me feel like I have permission.

Been watching since you started

You did that and I’m so proud of you. I’m about to try this project and I am AFRAID. LOL. never done anything on my own before.

I always underestimate these bus conversions to be 6 months or so. Prob false confidence in my skills with carpentry, plumbing, electrical and mechanicals - but seriously, 2.5 years makes sense and is a reasonable timeline for most. The experience was clearly life changing for you - as it would be for anybody. Too bad more young people can’t afford this kind of project, as it would be great for personal development across the board. Maybe it should be a high school course?

What an incredible journey!! You should be so proud!!

I enjoyed this recap.

What an AWSUM 🎉 and impressive accomplishment that you achieved on your own!! 😊 CONGRATS!!

I’ve been with you since the first month. I enjoyed highlights of the memories you’ve made.

This video is incredible. YOU made this home. As well as filming it for two years and then putting this comp together. I hope I see you on the road some time.

Nice work on this recap. Looking forward to seeing you go exploring. Happy Trails

Well you should be very proud of yourself you did awesome

Coming from a Old Veteran you are totally a Bad Ass Woman. Do it!

It's been awhile since I watched your videos ever since you left the states. All I have to say is wow she did a wonderful job

GREAT work honey! I just got a bus, and landed on your videos. 💪😎🇺🇲🏆🏆🏆

Absolutely well done!

Seriously though, hats off to you for doing all of that. From starting off not knowing how to use a drill to having. Fully converted bus. 👏👏👏

I can't believe you skipped over the gas tank fishing expedition....... That had to be the funniest thing I'd ever seen.

Love the dress you ŵere wearing in the last scene, you were soooo cute in it Also you did an AWESOME job on the bus, GREAT JOB

Great job on the conversion. Watching from Ontario. 🇨🇦

Im knew to the channel, I have to just say I've watched a lot of home building vans and bus, acutal homes ect, though it has never been as satisfying as watching you complete that all by yourself and it turned out beautiful and fantastic ❤ i loved it

Amazing!!!!!! The bus is beautiful, you did an outstanding job. Ps the bee shirt went perfect with your wasp can! 😂

Brilliant music choices!

Nice home looks awesome

I think you've done an amazing job on making your home on wheels

Fantastic job videographing and building, such a pleasure to watch and really inspiring. One of the best build videos I have watched , good job.

Отважная! Много-много лайков!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍Главное в таких долгосрочных проектах не перегореть

What a beautiful job! You should feel very proud that you did this!!! I wish I had done this when I was your age :) Go enjoy yourself and always be careful!

Been following since month 2. It’s been an inspiration to us as we build our bus but the most enjoyable part has been watching you and your confidence grow. ☺️

You are AMAZING.... what a great job you did mostly by yourself.... Excellent my friend!

Thank you so much for all the Friday nights!!!!! I had just started living in my Van again and your vlogs brought so much comfort to the process. I wasn't building shit but watching your transformation gave me confidence to rise to my own challenge. I'm so glad you shared it all! BLESSED ✌🏻

Very beautiful done ! Congrats !

Wow! You did a fantastic build👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very very, impressive. Congratulations.

Hey Emma ...just saw you at the Bus Fair on Regretlyss channel 👍👍

most people start with a birdhouse or a dog shed, she jumped straight into converting a school bus!!

Great job of video documentation as well. Thanks.

I hope you enjoy your journey of life of travelling

You, and your life, are so incredably beautiful.

I've been following you for awhile - you rock! Your can-do attitude is inspiring. Will be purchasing my own bus for conversion in the near future, in part due to sharing your own experience

Oh it looks so so good🎉

Very very impressive!! You are amazing… good job!!

Wow you did a great job. You are meticulus and the result is so clean streat

Love your work and good tunes

Nice job on the bus. I bet you learned a lot.
