VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Mark and Billie set out on a journey to explore beautiful landscapes with the ultimate goal to be financially independent (but don't tell her boss!). The roof raise provides needed headspace, but it's their work area that stands out as spacious. I'm sure some office cubicles exist with less breathing room. Although the garage stores their central power system, it was primarily designed to fit four bikes! This doesn't even include their 600lb adventure bike that hides in the back! Do you enjoy off-road thrills? You're going to love this setup!

A raised roof school bus are they best rigs on the road! What are your thoughts?
@imranali52 3 роки тому
I would love nothing more to convert a bus/van to convert into a tiny home! But we have small winding roads in UK.😭 I think you guys have done a high quality conversion, seriously one of the best one's online! Incredible you managed to squeeze in a "garage" in the back too! Well done guys! 👏🏼
@boondocksdragon8959 3 роки тому
I've found the raised roof designs sooo much more practical for myself and my family. We're all 6'+, and there's just no comparison between the comfort of a raised roof build and being in a standard height schoolie.

So proud of you both, I raised my children to be independent and they are they are now all grown up with grown-up children of their own who are very independent! I am a proud 71 year old full-blooded Italian matriarch of our family who is still fiercely independent after losing my childhood sweetheart in 2014. So it’s just me and the dog now and I live alone and I have to say If I were a wee bit younger this is what I’d be doing💚💚What I like about it it’s very clean without being minimalistic. As the old cliché follow your dreams, and you both are doing that, Bellissimo.

dont limit yourself to needing a man! ive seen tons of amazing builds where a person (whatever gender they are) learned as they went using yt tutorials. go for it!
@federicoandre5717 2 роки тому
@@beel_sona As a man myself, I agree 100% that they don't need a man to help with this. I've seen several builds done by girls almost entirely by themselves (without previous experience), that are a thousand times better than anything I could hope to accomplish. On the other hand, there's nothing better than doing this kind of projects with the help from others; especially if it's a "significant other." So in that sense, and being single, I can completely empathize with both Julies

A collapsible ladder, and a wonderwash handcranked tabletop washer to do electricity free laundry. Just two helpful tips.
@erinbillingsby 3 роки тому
Great suggestions, and thank you! We do have a telescoping ladder that we do bust out for bigger projects. Mark just likes to show off to me that he can still pick me up ;). As for the wonderwash, we've thrown the idea around. Maybe we'll get one one day, but laundry mats are just so accessibly for us, and under hour and half we are done with ALL loads of mud/dirt stained mtn bike clothes, linens, comforters, outdoor blankets, and even dog beds!
