Hey man , I appreciate you and how you explain all things to the population , no secrets or holding back !!! I appreciate you !

Tool links ARE much appreciated Chuck

Used oak for mine but made it shiplap style and ran it the other way. It’s heavier then cedar but can’t complain when it was free and all I had to do was mill it down to 1/8 of an inch

that bus is getting cozier by the week! good job Chuck, now I'll go destroy mine and rebuild :P

It is coming out really nice. I love it! ❤️ Beautiful work my friend! ❤

That wallpaper / wall art is divine 😍😍😍

The most informative and best videos out there!!

Awesome video, TY Chuck

I have the same ceiling. Works great

beautiful ceiling and i'm still blown away at that curved wall.

It's almost ready to roll 👍good job.

looks great. I debated doing this method, but I just felt like the lines going with the length of the bus worked better for my build. aligning the boards with width makes the bus feel wider, whereas aligning with the length makes it feel longer.

I used this same material for the ceiling in my kitchen back in 2004. It turned out awesome!!!!

Love the ceiling❣ It's so cozy. I know you didn't mind the gaps on the side but if you did, what would kind of trim would accommodate that?

In my 1965 unimog I also have a curved roof. My walls are varnished okoume. And for the roof I have 40 year old mahogany 5mm plywood sheets. Which I also gonna varnish. Curves and round shapes are so pretty 😍

That's similar to how I'm doing mine. I can't go direct to the furring strips though. My puck lights are 5" diameter so a hole saw would wreak havoc on that method, so I got some 1/4" birch plywood to go up first.

Looks killer!

Im goint to swap my E250Coachman for a good starter bus in couple weeks after I find title lol

Hey Chuck! I have spray foam installed in my walls. Just wondering on really old buses with a lot of, hmmm, ‘quirks’ whether you’ve ever heard of carpenter ants becoming an issue?

Looks incredible!!! I want to do mine like this! I’ve been waiting on this video lol. Any reason not to use wider boards? I noticed you used them on Alyssa’s bus, but not yours?

Hi Chuck, do you offer plans or blueprints of conversations and a materials list , the videos are awesome

Wow so pretty I love it

Lets see the finished product of the schoolie.

All of your suggestions/viedos, are they transferable to van building?

I'm in early 60s Chuck and man do I seriously need a schooly un finished like yours was when you first parked in the mountains to install the heater. Chuck, well there's one little problem,can you find something for me?, It's sort of a messed up long story man but after breaking my neck and back in a few different ways I'm still alive man. Hey maybe I'm just a little blind or whatever but is there a email to talk to you at? I'm really into this new way of life but got pretty beat up along the way and limited somewhat on funds man let's talk

Am planning on doing this soon. But my bus has a much more significant curve for the ceiling and I'm pretty anxious about it 😬😬

how did you fix up the strapping to tge ceiling Chuck? Just glue? I assume not puncturing the outer shell of tge bus with fixings of some kind?

*load bar*

Why not put the ceiling in before the interior walls? That way you wouldn’t have to go around them. You could just build the walls up to the finish ceiling.

May I ask the price on one of your skooies please

Hey Chuck, You’re probably finished by now with your bus, but I’m curious on how much money did it cost you from start to finish in completing your bus? Also how much would you charge a customer like myself for you to do the job for me? My wife hates “camping” but I love it.

It looks like you just face stapled them near the center of each strip. Is it noticeable or are you going to fill the holes?

sure glade you turned the wiper blades on, the dirty windows where bother me

where do you buy that 1/4" tng cedar?

Crazy how flexible that stranded marine "romex" is. Also, are you going to fill the staple holes?

Chuck, Are you face stapling or stapling the tongue?

I would like to buy your bus. Any chance?

I have a mix of flooring and some of the cedar plank that I found while reusing materials and I wish I would’ve seen this video and found more cedar plank firstly… i’m also surprised at how expensive this cedar plank is up here in Canada

Okay so I put the tongue on the groove, and then I pound on it... got it 👍

you would want a gap at the ends for expansion. and not smash the tongues all the way into the grooves

Why cant i find these planks in canada 🥵

It's the same old same old with pretty much every bus. My mother could have done that ceiling.

Wow this seem easy and it looks great!! ❤😀🚃
