Gathering for the Skoolie



J found an RV that was being parted out nearby online, and got almost all the windows we'll need for the bus, an exterior door with screen, and a stove with oven.  We'll be taking out the bus door, and replacing all the windows, which are notoriously leaky and inefficient.



He's keeping it all under his tractor shed until we're ready for it.  We've been too busy to get any work done this week, but are considering progress on any of it good.  



While scouring FB Marketplace, he found a new Kohler black enamel sink.  We wanted one with two basins, so we can use one for washing, and the other for rinsing.  With having to carry our water with us, whenever we're not hooked in somewhere, we want to be able to do things as efficiently as possible.  It appears to have some irregularity with the paint, but for $40, I expect we can live with it. It looks like the same sink on the Kohler site would be $825 with tax.  It's wonderful to have a partner who can find great bargains!

Oh these will make preparing food on the road so easy. Just thinking a few years away. But you all are so resourceful, I hope the work on the bus goes along just as easily.

Great deal on the sink! And how wonderful to have found a stove and windows for the skoolie! Our husbands are talented in ways that really save money. What a blessing!

Laurie said...

Yes, isn't it a blessing?!
