The Skoolie Door & Windows

 




Last week, Joseph attached the door, cut holes for, and fastened all the passenger-side windows.  




He fabricated the lower step and some rain gutter.  He made the step so that it can slide in when we're traveling down the road.  It's much easier for us and the pups to get in now, though McNibs is still a bit leery.



Before I posted this Friday, I helped Joseph hang all the sheet metal on the driver's side of the bus, until he got enough screws in to hold them in place.  He's riveted some on the bus this week, and still has plenty of screws and rivets to work on to join it all.




His bargains of the week were a new on demand gas water heater purchased on sale, and a small portable washer used only once he found on Marketplace.  The woman he bought it from had a tiny house and nowhere to keep it.  She said it was just easier to go to the laundromat.  He'll turn it into a permanent one for the bus.  That's it this week, folks.

Wow, he's doing a great job! I love the potential when I think of you two tinkering away at it. So many possibilities! Rock on!

That's definitely a home away from home coming into it's own! A washing machine no less! Great to see the progress!

Thanks, everyone! Though we have a general idea, we really need to come up with our exact floor plan next. Every inch counts!

Cool!...You will be on the road in no time. Maybe just to a local place to make sure things are swell.
Rock-On!

Yes, we're planning on one or two local short trips at first, and it would be lovely if they were swell :o).
