As per usual, there's a lot we're unpacking in this video. Welcome back to our bus conversion journey! In this episode, we're diving deep in the nitty-gritty of converting a school bus into a cozy tiny home.
Get ready as we tackle key tasks, including installing plywood on our ceiling, creating precise cuts for windows, walls, and outlets using a CNC router, and expertly wiring our 12v lighting system.
But there's more! (RIP Oxiclean guy) We've heard your requests from videos past and dedicated time to walk you through our lighting wiring process, ensuring you have all the insights you need for your own build. Plus, stay tuned for an upcoming tutorial on repurposing standard 110V wall sconces for 12v lighting, coming your way soon!
With plenty of footage recorded, we're ready to delve deeper into any aspect of the build that piques your interest. Have questions or need clarification? Drop them in the comments below, and we'll be sure to address them.

I know Chase wanted help to name the baby but this machine it’s so insane that I’d name it too and say thank you (-- )!! Everytime cause it’s crazy!!! Jajajaj I bet yall really love it. It’s looking so good!!! Also, me reí mucho con lo de Barny de los simpsons 😂😂😂

We need name recommendations for EVERYTHING lol, the CNC has been so much fun to use and I have to admit I wasn’t fully convinced when Chase got it but now I’m so glad. Dime que no me veía idéntica a el 🤰 haha

I really like how the trim turned out on that skylight.

@mariajoseandchase 2 ай бұрын

OMG!! Same 😩 I truly think the skylights are my favorite part of the build so far

Congratulations on baby number 2!! 😊 Thanks so much for that lesson on wiring the lights. I will need to do that soon on my bus so it was helpful to see that.

@mariajoseandchase 2 ай бұрын

Thanks so much and you're totally welcome. I know it was brief, but the concept is super repeatable. When you get ready to do yours, send us an email and I'd be happy to walk you through it (if you need) when you dive in. We'll likely have another more in depth video explaining interrupting the circuits (with switches) as well, but truly just reach out for anything. We're happy to help simply and demystify the process and I can even make diagrams for you!

Everything is looking amazing. Isla growing too quickly Pablo looking old bless him. I miss seeing him.

@mariajoseandchase 2 ай бұрын

It's surprisingly coming together. Thankfully we're at that point where everything going in makes a big difference. Isla's operating at lightspeed and growing even quicker it seems and poor Pablo, little dude has had a rough year already with a stomach blockage coupled with him having never been a fan of Isla 😂

That machine is a game changer Chase 🙌

Fabulous lighting and the lining so to speak for the bus is up. You are zipping right along. I think the bus color should be something pretty light and bright, just because yellow is what makes a bus safer. Lighter colors reflect the sun better as well. So there, no help from me. LOL I love watching your fancy cutting machine.

Glad you mentioned some men are actually good cooks cause Troy is a chef. I do however find plastic gloves or washers in his pant pockets when I do the laundry. 😂 Glad to see you are shedding some light on the build finally. 😂🎉 We also thought that spring was here with our temps in the 70s last week. Today it snowed. 😳❄️🥶 -western NY Troy & Aimee

@mariajoseandchase 2 ай бұрын

Troy we need you to give Chase some cooking lessons!!! But I do have to admit he is amazing at making pack noodles, cereal and popcorn 🤣 I thought the same about the weather and the past couple of days have been a NIGHTMARE, too cold for me 😭

Aww thank you friend!!! Can’t wait to be done with the bus, I feel like we got so many ideas that we will never end with the build

@SunshineMix101 2 ай бұрын

Congrats again on the good news and well done on the bus! It's starting to come together and is already looking good. Names? A girl's name I have always liked is "Niamh" pronounced "knee-ve" and means "saint" in Irish. I also like the boy's name Michael (neither of which is my own) :)

@mariajoseandchase 2 ай бұрын

Niamh is beautiful! I've always loved the traditional Irish names.

Good job! I wish I had a CNC router and a shop. I would have been done with this damn bus by now. LOL! We are using similar approaches though. I used 1/4" birch plywood for the ceilings and 3/4" birch for the walls. I also used 5" LED puck lights. I can't wait to see how yours turns out. I'm sure I'll see you on the road some day.

@mariajoseandchase 2 ай бұрын

Thanks a ton Anthony. No kidding though. We talk pretty often about how quickly every build we've done would have been with this thing. Glad to know there's another build stepping away from those tiny little puck lights and moving into something that actually spreads some usable light! We'll most certainly see you out there.

Mariajosé, the name of the drunk guy on The Simpsons is Barney Gumble.

Hahaha YES! Chase looked it up while he was editing that section.

@melissarosario2936 2 ай бұрын

Could you place each one above each window?

@mariajoseandchase 2 ай бұрын

That's actually a great idea. I've been so stuck at the concept that it has to frame them on either side, but it might be possible that they are above the windows positioned closer to the edges.

Great progress. Which CNC router do you have?

@mariajoseandchase 2 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! So for the CNC, I had been in contact with Laguna Tools for a 4x8 unit ($28,000) and with Avid CNC for a 4x8 unit (~$17,000). Laguna was super responsive, but their unit, while beautiful and truly high end, was just too far out of our current budget and AvidCNC did a really good job of ghosting us for several months and then randomly popping back in to see if we wanted to get a unit, while we had so many more questions unanswered. Then I wondered across ZenBot CNC being discussed in a forum. I did a fair amount of research on them and figured at their price, the unit is worth trying (~$8,000) I sent an email to the owner, who provides his personal phone number and his email-WILD, letting him know what I was interested in doing and he was so responsive and went so far as to suggest one model, the Pro 4x8, and was kind enough to even suggest a couple of upgrades I could do to increase performance and capabilities, which I ended up doing at my own additional expense. All in all, I'm in around ~$11,000 with a vacuum table, upgrades 3phase 2.2kw spindle, all my bits, and dust extraction.
