Bus Transformation

That heater is a kerosene portable, radiant heater. It can be moved anywhere but does seem to work good in that location. I like it because it doesn't need to be plugged in.

AWESOME! I like the look of wood, and your heater placement.

Kerosene heater eh? Thanks for the info Gus. That's the same reason I bought my Portable Buddy heater. No need to plug it in.

Nice work Gus. Looks like it's going to be a great home:exclamation:
I especially like the wood floors. It's nice it has a turbo diesel.
Looking forward to more pics.

I've been eagerly awaiting more photos of your build and the wait was worth it. I can only imagine the pleasure you are getting out of this even though things can slow down now and then. Life and finishing nails get in the way sometimes.

Nice job , please post more pics.

After 3 weekends at home working on the house I was able to get a solid weekend on the bus again. I finished the hardwood flooring. It is the old narrow stuff and it took 5 1/2 lbs. of finishing nails to do the small area in the bus. It must take and easy ton of nails to do a gymnasium floor !!! :huh:

Wow!!!

Whats the latest on this project?

 

[Simran]

Chris,
I'm stalled. I started a new job in April and the bus hasn't made it here yet. I was going after it last weekend but my ride had to cancel. I actually have a lot rented, with electric, where I am now working. I just need to get if here so I can get it finished. Hopefully this weekend; we'll see. I have an old Uncle that wants to help so i'm kinda waiting for him to have a good week so he can get involved by giving me a ride after it.

With summer coming you should get a lot done.
Sure looks very nice so far.

 

[Simran]

Once I get it here it won't take any time at all to get it well on the way to being done. I am only working 40 hours a week so it leaves lots of day light to work on it compared to this winter. It was a good winter project though and I'm glad I bought it in the fall when I did. It helped fill the empty weekends I couldn't go home. I'm only half the distance to home now so I get home and get under foot every weekend these days.

We're looking forward to hearing about your first trip after its completed.

Here is in her new home 230 miles away from the previous location. I have use of the garage too!

Thanks, I love the way this bus is turning out so far. A little slow in progression once in awhile; but it keeps moving forward. It will be easy to work on at this location because I get the use of the garage too. That will allow me to set up my saws and organize my materials in a larger area saving some time. Beside the days are longer too; that helps.

So totally kwel and very very creative!

Here's a pic. of my new sofa bed. I picked it up Sunday at a second hand store. The sofa is 7' long and 36" deep. Perfect for sleeping on.
