Removing & Remaking our Skoolie Front Door with Biometric Lock
Channel: Bussy McBusface
Date: 2019-08-16

First we had to figure out how to take the door off our bus, then we had to figure out how to disassemble it and rebuild it into a whole new door, while re-using the original glass and metal. In other words, we didn't even really know what we would have to do to make this work! This video reveals some of the behind-the-scenes process of figuring it out as you go along... which has been practically every step of this entire bus-build. Not to mention that the door opening wasn't even square, so we had to get creative and shim the top hinge by welding layers of 1/8th-inch steel to hang the door straight! The best part, of course, was installing our geeked-out biometric door lock and getting to see it work! The  lock has quadruple redundancy with multiple fingerprints, number codes, and key, plus a 9v battery emergency power terminal if the main batteries die. Be sure to come back for the exciting sequel when we'll fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants again, as we attempt to cut and re-install the glass, frame in the door, and more!

About Us:

Hi! We are Mike & Kerry, the proud owners of  a 1992 Bluebird rear engine (pusher), 40' school bus! We named her Bussy McBusface in honor of the RRS Boaty McBoatface travesty! 
We're building a Tiny-Home-in-a-Bus for full-time living in the most adventure-friendly way possible! In other words, Bussy will not be parked in our driveway, waiting for weekend or holiday getaways... when we finish the build, we'll be packing everything we're keeping into the bus and driving away from this old house forever!  
We plan to be boondocking the majority of the time, so you'll see that reflected in our choices throughout the build (100 gallon water tank, composting toilet, solar power system, etc).  We'd love to have you stick around and follow us on our journey, throughout the Skoolie Build, and to Infinite Adventures Beyond!

Mike & Kerry
