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.
