00:58 - Easy enough guys, drink catcher here.
01:00 This is Johnny Bubba's home, his bus shelter.
01:03 Basically a lot of people on the lives of everything
01:06 that's asking like, what can we do to help this guy?
01:08 Basically, obviously there's a lot of people
01:12 that are donating money and stuff like that,
01:14 but you know, you need to do something a bit more hands-on.
01:18 Winter is coming soon, last winter,
01:21 obviously the regular viewers who people watched him
01:25 when it went down to like minus eight degrees
01:27 and the guy nearly froze to death.
01:30 Basically I wanted to do something
01:32 to try and help Johnny Bubba.
01:35 So today we're gonna go inside.
01:37 We're gonna try and clear up a bit inside for him.
01:40 And then also I'm gonna try and insulate the walls for him.
01:45 Got some insulation here.
01:47 I'm gonna try and insulate the walls for him
01:51 so it's a bit more warmer.
01:53 Also we've got him a folding bed as well.
02:00 Because obviously one of the main issues
02:01 with Johnny Bubba is when he sleeps,
02:03 he sleeps sitting up and obviously,
02:06 you know, there's poor circulation, damaging his kidneys.
02:10 So, you know, if we get him a folding bed
02:14 and then hopefully he can sleep better.
02:17 Okay guys, so this is the before video,
02:20 before I started the work.
02:22 And I'll do another video of what the work looks like.
02:26 All right guys.
02:29 Using our guys Dreamcatcher back.
02:30 We have a quick update.
02:32 Just literally cleaned out the bus shuttle real quick.
02:34 Wasn't that bad to be honest with you.
02:36 Only a few bags of rubbish that I'm gonna crack on.
02:39 All right guys, so we've done some home improvements
02:42 for John.
02:43 And inside there, insulation with some lining
02:48 to keep him warm.
02:49 Got a nice folding bed to use.
02:51 All right guys, so we're finished.
02:54 Helped John out.
02:55 Got some insulation up on the walls.
02:58 All the way around on the inside.
03:00 Cover over the top to keep it more insulated.
03:03 Tidied it all up for him.
03:05 Got him a nice folding bed.
03:06 So obviously when he sleeps,
03:08 he can actually sleep properly
03:09 and that's gonna help his feet and his legs.
03:13 Done what I could today guys,
03:14 with the help of a couple of other people.
03:16 If only other people out there would be so helpful.
03:19 Okay guys.
