8 freaking kids. Few tips. 1. Keep legs closed, 2. Wear a condom, 3. Get fixed. People have this many kids milk the system. See it a lot. I have 2 kids I told her to get fixed. She decided not to be instead on birth control.
I don’t like you did to that bus😔
How do you convert it from bus, which requires CDL, to RV which doesn't? Or is that possible? Also is that State specific?
Bravo 🎈🎉

I would like to have a bus converted by your family 😁 do you have a website?
Cool!! I love your 05’ Thomas Saf-T-Liner HDX bus. I’m obsessed with skoolie an the thought of being able to travel anywhere u like. #TheBusLife
In the thumb nail I saw a Ford Excursion beside the Thomas
I am interested in doing a bus conversion, I already travel for work. It's just me and my spouse and can't forget my little doxie. Where do I start and so on??? Kind of have an idea of what I want but where to start? Any help appreciated.
did you know that there's a high headroom version of your perticular bus? you should've bought the high headroom version of the bus instead of having a hard time raising the roof on the low headroom version.
Where did you do the conversion while being able to also stay in the original rv? Did you have to pay monthly rent? Awesome build!
do you live in a bus?
I like how the kids are really excited about it:)
I should preface my comment by stating that I would love to convert a school bus into a home. What I think is most miraculous, is that there are no negative comments on this channel in this age of YouTube trollery! I would imagine you have almost a full-time job deleting the negativity. I can definitely see how kids could enjoy this when they're small like yours, but I wonder how they will feel as teenagers? This is simply a modern version of the "Traveler" lifestyle that families have been living for hundreds of years, just a lot less insular or countercultural. But, I would imagine your children will be much better educated and well adjusted to participate in society than Gypsies. 🙂 Good luck to you!
thought i was bad with 7 kids ,,keep posting and good luck ,your post are fab
Why are you guys making another one?
Congra! Are you guys planning to make a mixed football Team?
how much was the bus?
My sister has a crush on one of your kids she won't tell me who
then it will be bus life with 10
that looks like a 2014
When is day 2 comming up, cant wait
Nice video
If you are selling please email me I’m very interested 59.chasecole@gmail.com
A plan: A bed. A stove. An ice chess. Food…need food. And surf board racks. Preferrably not in that order. Done.
how did u get the second bus home white and red one
We are really looking forward to following your project. Good luck!
Wow! What a great family-project! The kids will learn a lot in the next weeks and month. It's great, that they are involved building their new home. I'm looking forward to see the results of your work!
I came from a family with 8 kids. Oh sure it’s nice when the kids are little but not nice as teenagers! I literally hated it big time. I swore I wouldn’t have anymore than two kids and boy I meant it. It’s not fair for parents to have a pile of kids in these times.
I am so thankful that you will be sharing the whole process, I find it fascinating ! I can't wait to see the plans 😀 I hope everything goes well for you, what an exciting year you have coming up !
Raise the roof!!!
So inspiring to see all the kiddos helping with the conversion! Awesome guys!
he why d ont you put your bed in a other place than in the back ,?
Excited to see the process of the new bus and baby! 🙂
Insprational must share video with my wife to have 8 kids 😍
8 kids! Your mad
Great job with the kids helping in on the Conversion. I will be following the progress, because I intend to do a Roof Raise in 2018 also. You are going to reuse the the A/C & Heater units?
Great to have little Helpers, I can relate to that and Shane if I was going to do a build which I'm planning on doing it in the near future I personally would raise the whole entire roof including above the windshield… most the people I see always leave the roof intact above the driver seat probably because they don't want to mess with the Integrity of the windshield and door area… I think it kind of looks tacky myself but I would simply Cut Above the windshield and leave the metal frame intact and then weld some box tubing to the sheet metal above the windshield frame and erect similar to a pony wall on top of a foundation… out of square tubing to take up the gap on the raised roof that way you have a raised roof from the front to the back much larger and much more professional-looking and you don't have to duck down…. those are my thoughts… let me know your thoughts and what you intend on doing just kind of curious
Congratulations on the new baby! What jolly news! As always, your beautiful family makes my day! Thank you for responding to an earlier request. I will definitely be getting in touch with you as soon as I can. Have a great day!
Another Baby on the way? Jeez you Americans really do love your Family… Since i am German i am just comparing xD. Also great looking build, lot´s of space. I would sugest ripping out the entire Roofcover inside the bus and replacing it with a selfmade one since you then can ajust it to your Needs.
What was the reason to pull the rubber mat up?
