She's comin' together


I have been working on the bus most diligently the past couple weeks.
Since the last post, I have completely finished taking all the sheet metal out of the inside.
1000 rivets later, and it's metal free.



I then began grinding away all of the rust that had accumulated under the old flooring.

After that, I painted the bare metal with rust preventative paint.


After that, I began to cover the windows with sheet metal.
Once Hannah and I decided on a well thought out floor plan, the metal work commenced.
With the help of my friend Graham, we began drilling, and pop riveting the metal to the bus.

After one piece!







also, we have starting making a small list of a few things that we need:
[more to come.]



first: a small-ish toilet.
and we would also love a water-saver back of the toilet sink! (only $70!)


an old gas stove/oven combo. (chambers! please)


a 15-passenger van to cut in half and put on top and make our loft-bed.
