 Good morning from Colorado custom coach works Today is a very exciting day. You're gonna meet someone new who swung by to help out with the build Here's the update Eric is Putting together the this is gonna be a table. I think I mentioned before but this is gonna be a chess table We're inserting a chess table into the table. It's also gonna go under my bench seats but I Just pulled the trigger on a thing wood here. These are vinyl floors As you can see they're multicolored This isn't the exciting part yet Exciting parts coming up looks like this thing just came out of the Sander Eric got the belt sander up and running today, so that's pretty cool This is one of the countertops Well, actually, this is one that the sink and the Stofe top are going into over here. What how many grid is this thing right now? Okay So it's getting out all the imperfections blue marks are gonna come out and It's gonna smooth it all out. I'm guessing to right make it more level Yeah Right now while Eric was out Or actually sorry while we were out and Eric was working Myself and read who you haven't met read yet, but read is a hilarious dude Big personality so Read is a contractor and read came by to help and so we just went we got a bunch of tiles and We're gonna we're gonna tackle the bathroom And also read tell a shower. Tell us a little bit about your situation. Why did you come by here? so actually my wife and I about a year ago started talking about Just selling everything and hitting the road In a nice an RV, but a converted bus. Yeah So Busy with work and busy with life and next thing, you know, it's a year later and We're still doing the same thing that we were yesterday. Yep Hey, so and you noticed I was in town and you swung by and now you're here She started seeing well I showed her some of the videos that she was your videos and also Mike's videos and I said this is the kind of bus She cried actually when I told her we're gonna leave the bus She forgot about the conversation, but that I cry cried out of happiness, right? No, it was crying, you know fear But I showed her some of the videos of the stuff you guys have built and she's like, oh Well, I could do that So we started watching the next thing, you know, I see you guys are down here color custom work I have coach works and I said it was meant to be yep. So absolutely our house. I'm buying a bus And I'm here helping you we're gonna put this shower together. Yep, and now and so in exchange I'm gonna help read try to find a good bus a good engine a good drive train and actually Mike come in here And build the bus in the space. So I appreciate everything you're doing for me, man Thanks, Eric. What's going on over here? So rather than having a full Countertop this way we're actually most of it is just the three-quarter thickness But yeah, this is the end and then it looks like it's one bigger thicker slat yeah, so this is looking at it from upside down and This will be the part where you kind of bump up next to what you know what you're you know looking at it or you know You know doing something on the sink or whatever. So they were just adding a It's adding an extra thick layer which actually matches up perfectly. Well It's like it was the same piece and you just cut it off or something like that I know just found one that was pretty close. Yes, excellent So this has been run through the belt sander a couple times. This is the bottom side like we said, so this is a totally and completely smooth on this side afterwards We'll take a crack at it with some of these sandy discs. We got all the way 80 all the way up to 220 I believe I don't think we got the 320, but yeah 220 So yeah, we were just moving right along here read is inside with the noisy machine We're just kind of straightening out some of the wood pieces from nice and flush We got some foam backer board over there not concrete. We got foam guys If anybody's in construction, you know what this stuff is. It's basically just same as a cement board But just lighter There were things on the first bus that I always told myself I said, you know on bus number two, I will not make that mistake. We'll guess what guys on bus number three I will not make the mistake of not running wires Before we install everything because this was a real pain in the butt. I drilled a hole through the two by four Couldn't then I realized there's no way I could fish it through So then I drew a drill the hole saw pulled it through there and then I said to myself wait a second I bet I can fish it through and so that's what I did as a result I fished it through so I'll just take that hole put it back on with some glue Now some more sorry two by six. Oh two by six You have a two by six two by six there and then we're going to do the pilot on top there Drill a hole for the drain cool Excellent The only thing is when we're I'm gonna have to go on the bottom and let you know if that's a clear space because sometimes There's ribs every so often. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I just welcome to the bus life. We'll measure from the frame Excellent. I'll do that So about electrical and wires There was a video that came out today. I think it was us doing some wiring So besides, you know this part here Just to be clear Michael and badge both told me a million times maybe even 1.5 million times One million times they said run the wires run the wires run the wires run the wires and then foam But I didn't do that Just to be clear because I know some people like why didn't you should you should have done this and you should have done that And you're right. I should have I didn't bust number three. I totally well So just to clarify I was told multiple times and I didn't do it next up. I Don't know where I drilled the hole. It's a little bit hard to see Oh, okay So I drilled a hole right there if you can see that pinhole. Yep, you can look at the monitor right where the X is I'm gonna make a hole saw and that's where the drain will be So I had to crawl under the bus because there's there's metal ribs every so often So yeah, the water I have a slight tilt towards the front in the bus So that's why the drain hole is gonna go right there read through me under the bus here and made this little mark and We're gonna cut that out But beforehand he was also saying that by putting shims there it could get the water to drain towards wherever he wants So awesome just a slight curve. There we go. That's all you need sometimes folks. Just a slight curve So this is what happens when you let people borrow your tools What's that? Oh some of the stuff on there. Yes Yes, so Read explain that this mastic stuff for all the builders you already know this so for people like me Who don't really know a lot about building stuff? basically has a consistency of peanut butter and So yeah, so this is gonna be fun to watch this whole process It's like cream cheese on your bagel there buddy. Exactly. Where's that? Where's the locks? really doing this is Not typical of this This is something basically new would work for this application some Guys However as you so eloquently put it earlier today jacks It's going to be going through by a constant Earthquake. Yeah permit. This is it. We are constructing for permanent earthquake So when this up dries, is it completely rock hard or is it kind of a soft and it's a little rubbery Okay, totally rubbery. It's a little rubbery. Yep Hey, what's the common use for this? Bathrooms, okay kitchen backsplashes interesting showers. Yep. You know some guys like you didn't set this shower panel out live you That is pretty much guarantee. Nice. Well, you got to sign the we have a Time capsule you got it. You got to sign it and be a part of it. Okay on the the back wall so All right, actually Mike's gonna come by too. So we're gonna have We have to have him sign it too.

It's uh, it is hard work. Yeah, I admire what you guys do I don't know how to do that stuff yet. So I'm learning All right, so shower pan in there doing a shower. Yeah, you're doing it, right Yep, so it looks like he's just scraping out some Mastic yeah, some of the mastic stuff putting in the shims there And that's that's for extra support or just for shape or kind of shape and just guide. Yep, gotcha Just to kind of as this stuff settles Cures to kind of train it to go in that direction. Oh, that's shit. I Have never seen this in person before I know there's people out there that have and I know those people that haven't probably more that haven't than have What are you doing to this thing right now? So all I'm doing. I'm doing what they call back buttering We're from the tiling standpoint I want to make sure that every single square inch of this is covered Whereas my pan is every square inch is covered.
