About me: I decided to jump on an opportunity to buy a school bus for $1000. After 2.5 years of building and a couple summers doing bus life, I sold the bus and began building a tiny house boat from scratch. My hope is that with a couple years of practice building under my belt, I can do a bit better of a job this time and build something that actually floats 🤞

Emma, don't worry about doing things quickly, do them correctly and always enjoy yourself. Remember you are not a professional carpenter, you are a very experienced amateur, and doing a great job.
-
Hang in there Emma! There is "fun" and "satisfaction" in both "the process" and "the accomplishment". Nice video. From a 75 year old craftsman.
-
A large part of my enjoyment with your posts is following your thought processes through the different steps.
-
As long as your having fun building the boat you are doing great.

I'm looking for the link to "Buy Gordo a Beer!" 😉 Once I find that one, I'll be looking for the "Buy the Neighbor a Beer!" link. We're all proud of our dear Emma, of course, and her courage in taking on these big projects alone. But it's heartening when someone comes along to offer help at important points along the way!

❤🎉 Hey, Emma! You're doing great. Don't be so hard on yourself and back off on the super EMMA goal setting. Do what ya can in a day and call it good. If you need a break or get frustrated just find something else to do for a bit and go back later and see what you can get done. Also look through some of the plans and see if there are little projects that will need to get done that can be done independently of the build itself. Or make a shopping list for the next part of the project.. *shrugs*. No matter what we mere YouTubers, say, YOU DO YOU! ❤. And I think you are doing a wonderful job! 😊

Slow down, have fun with your build. Make the build work for you. See you next time.❤❤😂😂
-
You already know how much we love you and watching this build validates all the reason why ❤ You’re killing it!!!!!!!
-
Looking good Emma! Remember, “slow is smooth. Smooth is fast”. Just take your time, focus on each task at hand, and speed will eventually come through experience. You’re already light-years ahead of where you were, in terms of skill and speed, than when you started 👍🏻
-
Emma, girls just want to have fun......Right!!!!!, You got this.
-
Emma. I have faith in you YOU will have a good boat.
-
Hey Emma ... I've been building stuff for 76 yrs ..(well not actually " building") But your doing a great job ... love watching your channel ...so proud of you 👍👍
-
Ratcheting load straps offer excellent assistance during a one person build in many situations... especially when flipping a hull.. 😎⛵️😎
-
Just keep enjoying yourself. That is what is important and will make you feel the best in the end. You will be proud of what you have done, not about how fast you did it. Love watching the progress.
-
You are priceless Emma 😄😄 I love your attitude. You're doing great so don't worry about how quickly you're moving, just make sure you're doing it the correct way. You got this!
-
Ma'am, by spending time on something u want is not a pet project. Its a way of life u are spending time on. so keep up the excellent work
-
Hooray for Gordo!
-
You entertain boat loads of followers with your build so it is a prerequisite that you enjoy it just as much or even more than us. And to see your boat come to live puts a smile on your face as we can clearly see. Hold on and give yourself the time to keep enjoying it. Have a good coming fortnight and keep that awesome smile 😁. Greetings from 🇳🇱👋

Your doing amazing I worked on mine for 7 years while working 45-55 hrs a week. I only work it on weekends or a couple hrs after work. You can do this. Don’t rush it.
