You have a Gift of Gab. You’re one of the only Tubers that feels like they’re talking TO me instead of AT me. Keep up the good work. I like living vicariously through you.

She speaks normally, instead of using Influencer Speech®. Also I noticed she says 'I' like a normal person instead of 'we' like so so many of them do. "Today we are going to..." We? We who? You're the only one in the room. Are you including me in this 'we'? Because I'm not doing any of that, I'm sitting on the couch.

please please please .... secure you desk cabinets down tight. i know you feel secure driving with them just resting where they are however if you get into an accident they will become airbourne projectiles that can kill you. i should mention i'm on my 2nd bus build now ... i totalled my first bus ... everything was secured down to within an inch of my life ... literally. nothing moved, only "bent" ... and i lived to tell this tale. good luck, doll. you're doing awesome.

Actually gluing a frame or edge board is a common practice in making cabinets and furniture. When I first was introduced to the process , screws in piloted holes were used. Then wooden plugs to cover screws. Nice job.👍🙂

Emma I don't think your being lazy at all that's your bus and your project and making it easy for you to be able to get to both your wiring and plumbing like that makes good sense and I really don't blame you for using what you already have on hand in this case the wood you have on hand makes sense to use it instead of going and buying more. Great video 👍

The secret to completing tasks is to force yourself to start. Once started you just keep going and take breaks as you need them. When I was 10 years old, I had a paper route. I remember thinking: "With each step I take, that's a step I won't have to take again today." That got me through a job I didn't like at all. I later traded that job for musical instrument training.

Your shelf above your clothes rack needs some support, it's bending, and that will just get worse, so maybe a 2x2 strip, like back and right behind the clothes rod, maybe one in front, if it will work with your set up.
@willswitchcraft
@willswitchcraft Год назад
I know it's hard working without a table saw, but here's a little tip......place the plywood that you're cutting on top of a couple of 2X4's, (then attach your guide to it all). Then, when you rip your plywood, it won't fall off......the main benefit, is that - when the off cut falls, sometimes it screws up the last bit of your cut.

Maybe she will pop in and explain why I am wrong.

Again, you are wise and frugal. You don't waste anything on purpose unless there is a mistake that we all make from time to time. You, beautiful lady will go very far. You have a good head on your shoulders and think wisely. Who cares if we don't like it? As long as it doesn't bother you, it's good enough. Besides it's hidden. No one knows unless you tell and if it's noticeable, as long as you are OK with it, that's all thst matters.

Sweetie, don't ever call yourself lazy. If that is what lazy looks like, there would be no lazy people. You are extremely hard working young woman, the fact that you have built the bus from bare bones to this so far, speaks volumes. That is something no regular woman can say. You are a leader thst sets an example for the rest if us. Give credit where credit is due. You are a conquerer, brave, adventurous and beautiful inside out to say the least. So scratch negative words about yourself out of your vocabulary. You owe yourself that much.

We recently replaced an old sofa in our current RV with a new IKEA dining table & chairs. For us, it made a great improvement to the living space. We’re so looking forward to the design changes you make in Birbie. Go For It
