The Last Room! Dreaming and Working - DIY Home Build - Wood Ceilings - So Much Progress! 

I think the ceiling looks great. If there are any noticeable imperfections, they will only add to the charm of your lovely home. I really enjoyed seeing the giant dragon fly! I hope Belle will sketch a drawing of it. Thank you for providing interesting and wholesome content for us. Your channel is one of a very few that I know which will continually post honest, drama free and “safe” content for your subscribers. As always, sending all of you big hugs and much love from Tennessee. ❤

I enjoy all your videos. It seems a lot of people forget, in the excitement of new projects, that there is a lot of mundane jobs that need to be done. You two are some of the hardest workers I know!

As soon as Doug said something about how easy it was going to be to install the ceiling ... I just knew he jinxed the project! But in the end, it turned out fine. Whew! That dragon fly was massive!

FYI, Back in late '80s early '90s, a Company collected used tires, ground them up to pulp, melted them and used them for highway paving out in Eastern Washington. There were sections of test highway that were spread out for 50 miles, the noticeable difference was how quiet the road became when driving on this test area. Friend was working for this company and it was implemented in other states, for paving projects and roadway repairs.

That Dragonfly was so gorgeous...one for Belle to draw.

Dragonfly approved!

Convert the bus back to camper then get a pickup as you will be getting plenty of materials for the trailer job.

That house is going to be something really special!

Oh my gosh I adore dragonflies. Used to have them when I had my pond.

Amish ladies always build a flaw into each quilt, [ something about humility] this ceiling can be your Amish ceiling or your humility ceiling. It looks great to me. Good job loved ones! Camarillo Grammy!

Awesome video. I truly love what you are doing.

That bus was a great purchase and has so many uses A keeper

You guys are so happy these days. I can see that Florida was the right choice for your family. Your home renovations are looking beautiful. The potential of the rental property is such a smart idea for growing your wealth. I’m so happy and proud of you. Much love ❤️ from your friend in Indiana.

That bus was worth it’s weight in gold. Having the ability to just travel when you need to it really smart.

Doug and Ashley also Bell you and your Brother are awesome!!!

Love you guys. You never make a bad or boring video. Everything is coming together so beautifully. ❤

Many place turn the old tires into rubber mulch to be used around their cities. Think playgrounds, walking paths and such. It's suppose to make it an 'all weather' area but I've found that this kind of mulch can leave stains on young kids clothes.

We buy rubber mulch made from recycled tires. We have watering restrictions where we live, so our whole front and back yard is drought tolerant and we use the rubber mulch for landscaping areas.

If you ever want to come visit us, you're more than welcome! And you even have your choice of properties to park on 😉

Crossing off those projects one by one! ❤

Doug you are a visionary.

Moving right along there. Can't believe you guys have come this far, it really doesn't seem that long, but I know it has been. We have completed the inside of our 75 mobile home remodel, we hope to get the outside come spring. Lots of hard work and money, but worth it in the end.

Your videos have good flow, without unnecessarily long footage of you doing the same thing. You have some great projects coming up, thanks😊

THAT BUS WAS A GREAT INVESTMENT. GLAD YOU DID NOT MAKE PERMANENT STRUCTURES LIKE WE SEE ON THESE CONVERSION BUSES.

What a nice Sunday morning surprise, a video from Doug and Ashley. Nice work on the ceiling, can't wait to see the gazebo. What a beautiful dragon fly. Enjoy your day!!

over here they grind up the old tires get the metal belt material out and mix the rest in with asphalt to make new road surface material you can sand down the rough spots and spot spray them so there white again then either clear it or paint it white once more , can still do that at a later date once the rest of the house is done

Belle is so beautiful, I have been watching since she was little. They grow up so fast, oldest just turn 45 and it is hard for me to believe because my mind says it is still young but my body says different. Get it all done while you kids are young, it gets harder as you get older. It looks beautiful.

They have come up with a repurpose for tires and the chop them up and place in kids parks .....Rubberway® rubber trails are pervious, quick drying, non-slip, and fit seamlessly into their surroundings. The flexibility and 'give' of the rubber makes these rubber pathways perfect for walking and jogging without the impact of harder surfaces like concrete and asphalt. Plus, these paths are made with recycled rubber, giving tires a second life and diverting them from landfills.

Ashley you're amazing woman wow great job helping your husband, God's gifted

Like number #36

Ceiling does look nice painted white !!!

I think they shred the tyres and make them into Asphalt for the roads.

Where is Maverick? You are doing a great job. I would be very proud to live in such a special place. Is it time to see more of Belle’s artwork? Have a great day.

Looks Beautiful ❤❤❤❤ You guys always do such beautiful work ❤❤❤❤❤

Ashley you look like you just came home from the office, great job with the ceiling.

I love how your family always includes the little critters and insects!!! 🥰🎶You have an excellent sense of what jobs to do when. ❤️🇨🇦

Cut one side wall out of a tire and place it cut side up and use it as a planter. I take a pallet cut the boards shasugi bond (burn) them and screw them to the sides of the tire. Makes an awesome flower bed

I don’t think I’ve seen a harder working couple than you two. And its always a joy when the kids step in to help! I’m so excited to see the completed inside finished renovation! Your house is going to be the envy of the neighborhood! ❤

It’s easy to see how you guys stay sooo slim!!

I call imperfections character.

The ceiling looks good…rustic and I like the imperfections because it makes the house look like the ceiling has been there for years. Great job and love how you are getting close to finishing the dining room and then the kitchen will be exciting! But all your projects are exciting! Hugs and love from Northeast Pennsylvania!

in MN they recycle them shred them and even use them in roads after shreded. Good idea getting bus ready for the next trip. I have to say, you guys don't need a gym to work out. LOL you get enough exercise with your remodeling.

Most tires are recycled into playground covering or for outdoor basketball courts.

At 13:37 Belle is carrying the nail gun like a soldier on watch command.

Really great progress, it’s all coming along nicely 👏🏼

All good!

You guys are amazing, I wish I had even a quarter of your energy

I know you like things done as close to perfect as can possibly be but the ceiling looks fine Doug, it’s new and clean and your one step closer to being finished. And I honestly don’t think it going to stand out at all. You and Ashley are awesome ppl.

Belle with the ear protectors holding the nail gun reminded me of Princess Leia from Star Wars 😀

I get so excited when I see a new video come up that you guys have posted. I honestly could watch you every day.

I love it when you wrap up projects and then quickly wrap up other things on your “To Do” list!! Keep the list moving forward. I really enjoy all of your projects!!

Love the windows in your dining room. As always it is going to look great.

Doug, thanks for being the kind of person that stops to appreciate natural beauty. You made my day with the dragonfly, catching me off guard, “oh, wow, cool!” 😊

I loved it when you got the family involved with the renovations. Can't wait to see your son working with you side by side. 😍🥰. I've been following you and watching you and your wife from day one with all your projects on all your houses you bought and renovated. I enjoy watching all your videos. It is highly informative and useful. Keep up the excellent work. You and your videos have been a part of my daily life. Looking forward to more until your son grows up.

I have need of wheelchair ramps, turns out the hospital supplied me with them recycled from TYRES

Tires are recycled into roof shingles for a long lasting roof. The house I’m in currently is getting one of these roofs put on.

Belle is growing so much. Beautiful young lady.

tires are shredded and use to help make the road asphalt. :) Great job.

I love Dragonflies! ❤️ Everything is looking so good. I'm so proud for ya'll and all that ya'll have accomplished. Hugs and love from Mississippi ❤

I can not afford all the costs of all the homesteaders that I watch so sad I do not access to all your videos.

You guys need a rest! You guys seem pooped physically. Beautiful family, God Bless❤😊

Duck house 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I like the ceiling it leaves character to the home

Hope you can get your kitchen and dining room ready for the Holidays. Looking forward to seeing your accomplishments each weeks.

Thank you for sharing! I enjoy your videos.

I think it looks gorgeous!!! You and Ashly are perfectionists, Doug... which is a good thing to be. Just don't be too hard on yourself. You do beautiful work. I also think the knots will give your ceiling character. PS I'm 76 and my husband is 84. He's still working as an Engineer but hopes to retire next year. We just bought our retirement home, and it will need a little work (nothing like what you've tackled). Watching your progress, we feel ready to take on our own project. Love your family. God bless!

As Doug was lifting one of the boards there was a quick peek at a corner of your exterior door. I’d forgotten how beautiful your doors are.

The ceiling looks good.

old tires are recycled for a million different things now, even playground floors and rubber chips instead of wood chips,,

Go Ashley look at you using the big saw. The ceiling now has Character with the Knots exposed.

It's kinda heartbreaking to see all the work you put into making the bus livable is now gone.

It looks good. We all have imperfections. That's what makes us DYfferent. See what I did there?. ❤

Is it me or are they both glowing, they seem so happy 😁

Old tires are used (recycled) for many things. A couple just off the top of my head are; 1) Playground Mulch and 2) Its used in Road Base. So folks, give them a break, they can't save the world alone. Look at the bigger picture at what landfills actually do to "up-cycle" or recycle.

My property was an old farm and outside of tons of junk to remove it came with 50 old tires. The county I live in takes them for free , they are shredded and the rubber is added to asphalt during road work , makes the asphalt stronger. I am sure your landfill has the same approach.

Oooohhhhh, loved your excitement doug. Great job as always.

Dragonflies are my favorite. That one was a monster. You grow 'em big down there.

You remind me of my grandson so much. ❤

It’s nice to see you guys laughing

It looks great!! Good progress. Way quicker than anything my husband ever did!! Hi Ashley, you are such a big help to Doug. I don't think I could ever hold my arms up like that!! Great video ❤

Great job...missed Maverick ❣ ❤❤❤❤

Doug & Ashley the dining room looks good and great idea putting the beds back in the bus ❤️🇨🇦

You jinxed yourself when you said this should be easy. Hahaha! Next time say I hope this is easy. Once the walls are up it will look better, on camera it looks great. Excited to see the room done. What is left the kitchen, and dining room? Any how I enjoy watching you and all the changes you make. That bus was a mess. Construction and yard materials will cause that real fast. Peace!

Thank you for a Sunday morning video! Love the work y'all are doing. Your home is going to be amazing when complete.

I just love dragonflies just beautiful.

Always happy to see a new video posted! Looking forward to the next video! You guys work so hard and are so creative. 👍👏👏👏❤️🙋🏻‍♀️👍 Really can’t wait to see the finished kitchen‼️

You posted this video 4 minutes ago the time here in UK is 12.14 in the afternoon. dont know the time difference there.We put our clocks bacl 1 hour at end of summer.

I live in a woodsy, mountainous area and we get bright red dragonflies in the autumn. That blue one was gorgeous.

Our transfer station here takes old tires for a small fee too! After my kids were off on their own I cleaned out my big shed. I found multiple tires - many in very usable shape. First I called a local garage - think junk yard but he’s actually my mechanic and the best around - and asked if they were interested. Once he took his pick I only had 3 tires left! So off to the transfer station.

Looks great you guys! Bell is really growing! Take care! Thanks for sharing your journey. It’s always a pleasure to follow along!

Doug, a large, beautiful dragon fly!!💙

The ceiling looks wonderful ! Once you put in lighting and all furniture and decor,it will disappear into the background. Who wants a perfect house anyway? Live in your home comfortably. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME. I hope its always where you want to be at the end of every day.

Jeepers that dragonfly was the size of your hand. Nice job... on everything.

Hi Doug and Ashley! Love your channel in St. Augustine Florida! In regards to your old tires, instead of wood mulch, we buy rubber mulch for our flower beds. Those are made from recycled tires. Rubber mulch is better than wood mulch to us because it doesn’t rot or mildew, it lasts longer and keeps its color forever! ❤

There's a company in India that takes old tires, rips out the steel belts for recycling, shreds the rubber tires and turn that into molded playground bricks to provide those semi-soft pavers for kids. No idea if that exists here but it's a pretty good idea.

That's so funny. You see less wood on the walls and I see more cuts to be made. Haha

I never tire of watching you guys working together. Doug, you're a real dynamo!

Nothing that makes me happier than sitting down with my morning cup of coffee, turning on RU-vid and seeing a DIY segment from you waiting for me! Great ceiling job too! You do such great work...glad you take breaks and dont push a project to completion if not in the mood to finish right then.❤

Wow, it will be finished in no time!

Wow!!! The colors on the dragonfly was really beautiful and it looked to be bigger than the ones I've seen in my neck of the woods. I see what you're saying about the ceiling, Doug, but I think the knots give it character and works well with the older feel and design of y'alls home. Either way, y'alls dream home will be absolutely gorgeous and exactly how y'all want it to be, when y'all get it finished. I'm looking forward to seeing the walk through video, but only when, y'all are satisfied with the results of turning the house, into y'alls wonderfully beautiful dream home!! Plus I'm really excited to see what y'all have planned for redesigning the bus, because I know it's going to be awesome!! BTW Doug, being a dreamer is a great thing to be, because look how far those dreams have brought you and your family!! Y'all have overcome so many obstacles in both of your lives and I'm so proud of the way y'all were able to turn all of that negativity, and make it into something positive and completely beautiful!! I hope you both will keep dreaming those dreams, because it's untelling how far they'll take y'all!! Much Love and Hugs to you, Ashley and to y'alls two beautiful children. ❤❤❤❤
