It feels like things are moving right along now. Never as fast as we’d like, but we’re getting there. Our friend Mike—whose shed we’re parked in—has been helping me out with some of the wiring craziness. He was finally able to cut the last wire off the old, heavily abused … Read More

The last couple of days I’ve gotten a few things done on the bus. The big one is the insulation. I had finally decided that maybe I would go with the spray foam insulation. I ended up getting two quotes out of the six companies I contacted. Both were for … Read More

Life is pretty tame around here at the moment. I go off most mornings to work on the bus while Ali takes the kids out somewhere to try and burn a little energy. We meet back up in the afternoon, play, eat, take a bath, and go to bed. It … Read More

Today the bus got moved to a friend’s house where we can both hide in a giant shed out of the weather. There is also plenty of room for me to empty everything out so I can work on things. The extra room allowed me to empty out two storage … Read More

We took the kids to a movie for the first time today. Ouest, at Lowe’s age, would have never sat still for two hours to watch a movie, but he chilled out the entire time, with his only complaint being the volume. Ouest dug it too. She asked me why … Read More

Haven’t been accomplishing much of anything the past few days. I promised myself that in this post I wouldn’t complain about the weather, so I’m not even going to mention why I haven’t been outside working on the bus. I started calling around about tires today. The tires themselves are … Read More
