Skoolie Conversion Update #4 | Reskinning the Bus

Hello friends! It’s definitely been a few weeks since our last post, but life is crazy and it turns out working full time + traveling + promotions + converting a school bus into a tiny home doesn’t make content creation very easy. But, I figured I’d hop on and pick up right where we left…

Skoolie Conversion Update #3 | Window Removal and Raising the Roof

Happy Sunday friends! We’ve been a bit absent on the internet lately but we have a few good reasons. The first (and biggest) is that Levi has been going through some work changes lately. When we moved out to Illinois to work on the bus full time, we new that my paycheck would only really…

Friday nights are our favorite time to work on the bus. We don’t have to wake up early to work the next morning, so that means we can stay as late as we want to finish up projects. It does mean we have some pretty late nights though (as we leave today at 11:47 pm). But the views are pretty worth it, especially tonight as we got a great view of the Venus-Jupiter Conjunction 🪐✨ We have running water! And installed countertops and a desk! It’s so exciting watching it all come together. We try to set big goals for ourselves every month, and in January it was all about cabinets! We officially finished our kitchen cabinets and are so close to being completely done with the dresser. For February, we’re going to really push for finishing up our bathroom cabinets and finally getting those countertops stained, sealed, and installed! We officially installed the backsplash and upper cabinets last week and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how it’s looking!!! It’s getting pretty chilly here in IL, which makes bus stuff…. difficult. Luckily, we’ve got a diesel heater on the way to us so we can (hopefully) successfully beat the lows of -2 to -7 later this week. 🥶❄️ So that happened… We sat down with Jody Hotlz of @wcburadio a few weeks ago to talk about the bus and our journey! Check out the story in our bio! The first couple of coats went up this weekend! 🎨🖌️ So so happy with how everything is looking 😍 Things are going to be getting very colorful around here soon… 🌈 Can you believe this bus has been orange for an entire year already? Today we celebrated the anniversary by finally finishing the pine for our ceiling!
