 Good morning from Reed's house Reed graciously is hosting me. You'll see him in a sec, but this is a progress so far I know I left I'm not hurry, but we were just working working working me and miles So the deck is on except for one board because it was really curvy Still need to wire the solar panels need to install this window before I leave. Well, I'd prefer to Across from me. This is Reed's new bus So like I said, the deal was I told Reed I would find him a bus. I'd find him a very good bus and You know, he's helping me out. He's kind of learning Not that he needs to like learn but School buses are inherently different But Reed's bus 2010 with a rebuild engine with 11,000 miles on the rebuild engine brand new turbo It's a 2010 145,000 total miles You guys are gonna watch this you want to watch this build because Reed's a good builder All right, so this is the state of my bus got the seat in Amazing seat by the way, so thanks again Jamie for that rides like a dream. It took me a good 24 hours to load the bus in It might seem like a lot of time, but I also had stuff Like thrown about in the shop. So I had to organize things put it in boxes utilized a lot of the cabinet space Utilize the bathroom we're gonna finish this thing up before I head out We're also gonna be working on the water system today. I have my tank The water heater is already installed the propane tank I'm buying off one of the guys at the shop Horizontal tank Exactly the same one I had before which they don't sell anymore. They just saw the bigger one We're to put that in at some point. We're gonna put in the systems Run the lines for the propane Have the stove in have the sink in get myself a nice faucet all that fun stuff Eric was right This wood looks so much better in natural light. It's amazing. I am so thrilled with the countertops. So anyways Let's get to work. Hey, look who showed up. It's miles miles with the tiles miles. What'd you do your foot today? I put a nail through it Miles stepped on a rusty nail and it has to go get a tetanus shot. Yeah, I hope my thoughts and prayers were with miles All right, check this out reed just wrote up like the best schematic ever for our water system If anybody wants a copy of this, please do you want to run us through what we're doing? Okay, so Bar comes in right? You have your fill line goes to your tank Vent will go to the top of the tank Your land in case you're hooked up something or also known as city water city water, right? So you're hooked up there. You have a check valve. This is a tee right here All right, so you have the three-quarter coming in from your city water You have a check valve so that way if you're running off your tank and your pump is running it can't push back through To your city water and then go out out the bus on the side exactly and vice versa Conversely, if you're running your your city water, you have a check valve going back to your pump before the pump So you don't burn out your pump So the water, you know only goes one direction Is that a band? Is that your favorite band? No My daughter liked one direction That was teasers two directions Both lines will go to the filter And by the filter we are talking about this one that badge recommended Some rv water filter Right, yeah So then whether you're you're going off city water or your tank you go through the filter Then it goes into your system three-quarter. Okay Half of it gets split off into your hot half it goes to the rest of the house Right, so then you're hot then you have hot and cold coming out off of your hot and that can go wherever it needs to go awesome, so this Tank yeah tank up pre-filter so don't mess up the filter like pneumatic movement did No offense Then to your pump might extend it to I think Uh, and then down even badge we've all done this so put a pre-filter on is what I'm saying And those little screens can save you a hundred dollars like with one of these guys Just make sure you don't drain your whole thing when you're trying to replace them But yeah, so tank pre-filter pump and then you should put a drain valve Somewhere at the lowest point of wherever your system is So in case you get stuck somewhere no power or no gas or nothing You don't blow your whole system up by having it full of water Gotcha, or otherwise you'd have to run your whole system and then drain it Right. All right. Let me update you guys on on life and also read what were the wise words of wisdom I told you when you're building a school was half your time It's been figuring stuff out Um in other words you live at home beep-o Well or Lowe's or ace stuff, you know, I mean RV stuff has like crappy little, you know Like basically garden hose And we're not doing a garden hose application. This is a home application. Yep, and it'll last twice as long it won't be, you know, chintzzy and rinky dink and And in my opinion, you know, it's not going to be bushly Right, so When you're building a school bus half of your time is spent going back and forth and getting supplies at the hardware store Also ace is the place. I forgot if I mentioned it Yet, which was yesterday in our time earlier in the video If you are planning on doing pecs or plumbing or anything to do with these RV tanks Don't you will not find all the supplies at the box the big box hardware stores. You're gonna have to go to some local place Um last time I didn't get the correct size Uh insert which left me with a larger tube going to something that didn't quite fit up there Um, so anyways lesson to be learned is go to the local hardware store for Uh lots of plumbing stuff Um now when you're buying lumber Schluter board Tiles, you know go wherever you want, but for this kind of stuff you're gonna have to go to the small place is great place It really is not sponsored, but hey ace if you want to link up Have my people call your people or vice versa left on my to-do list I need to put one of those where somewhere over here where we put the window back in I don't even know where it went. Anyways over here somewhere. I've got to put this yellow metal back in there Another thing to do is this window. I need to cut that out for my beautiful brand new RV window another thing Reed suggested putting Lights here and on the other side. So if that's a case I'm gonna have to do some creative wiring through our Wire chase that we have with the little pecs Also another thing I didn't realize we have a vent for this uh composting toilet, which doesn't yet exist But I realized 12 volt fan is going to need 12 volt power So we're gonna have to run some wires Before this gets all buttoned up and thank god it's not buttoned up because we're still kind of adding to it and for all you guys Wondering why I didn't have all this stuff wired before Like I said, I don't have a background in building. I didn't quite have this thing all planned out, but um It's working. It's fine. So if anybody's like me and they're just kind of figuring it out You can run wires between the wood and the spray foam Uh, that's not the way Reed would do it, but you know, he's got a lot more systems Start with systems first. Yeah, okay Like unless you're unless you're an amateur. Oh, who's race car parts badge badge like badge says race car parts Start with systems first plan out your systems build everything around them, right? I think I'm guessing a Layout would help uh before you do that anyways a simple drawing a simple drawing. It was let's get to work All right. I know this is a very custom mod most people won't be doing this, but uh I uh removed some of the reflector reflective strip. This is where we put the windows back in and uh the part without the yellow paint goes at the top And uh anyways, you saw how it was Installed just a second ago Having a hard time here one-handed, but um, basically, yeah It's a perfect match. You can't even tell Once this thing is in you besides this giant square piece. You won't really even Tell what used to be here. So this is a final piece. This is what we're missing This is what uh is extra over at the shop They have these lying around because you know when they do the roof raises this part Gets air hammered out and then discarded ran into a little problem I drilled the holes I put in the screws with the faceplate But what's happening is that it it also drilled into this slide mechanism part of the window You can see it. Maybe you can see it wiggly around there. I don't know. Uh, so that's not gonna work Now because I used a product called panel bond I feel relatively Safe clamping it and using panel bond Uh, I'll have to do that once I get back at the shop um So just have to wait on that fix and uh, I'm just gonna run around the bus and see if there Is something else I can fix I just made read a little sad we had to kill rocket man And by elton john No, who's that by it's by uh elton john All right read what did he do to my bathroom to my to my plumbing So if you look at the at the uh schematic that we have here, yep Okay, and you follow from the street. Yep. There is a uh backflow valve right there in line Yep See it through the arrows pointing. Yep. I I think I could actually explain this We've we then you go for it. You think I'm gonna let you explain this. Okay. Do your do your thing Okay, here's how here's how this is gonna work This is a gravity feed the gravity will gravity feed down to here. Okay not and not to Take you off the horse, but I I think I I'm proud that that I am learning and that Super simple Super simple. All right. So city water comes in here city waters, you know the garden hose, you know when you hook up RV people should come in at 60 pounds per square inch. Awesome This is a check valve. So that means one way of water So when the pump is on well, we'll get to that man. Okay, so city water comes in here tees into there And then you see the city water could go that way except there's a check valve so the city water only has a Opportunity to go this way through the filter and then to the water system to the heater This splits off the cold continues this way Uh water continues up it turns into hot water comes down here And there's a pressure relief valve then the water goes up to wherever it wants to go this way or that way Water from the tank comes out here goes up and goes through the screen to the pump through a check valve That means it's one way now comes down here and then obviously the water pressure is going to push this way It's going to stop at the check valve. Right. That's why we have them So it comes through here comes through the pump now continue cold water can Oh, sorry continues through the filter. Thank you read You see that bracket I made Which one? Oh, yeah, this one it looks so it looks so high quality. I didn't even I It was meant to be
