The Big Blue Bus project is coming along slowly, but with progress. The weather isn't helping very much. The last few weeks there has been so much rain and damp wet conditions. I have the floor in and the one wall done with pine and insulated. The closet is framed in and I tinted three of the windows. I have a counter in that will hold a sink in it. The table has been cut down to fit properly. The project is coming along but I'm getting a little tired. I will take the next few days off since the weather is going to be cold and wet for the next few days. I finally started the bus up today it hasn't run in like two or three weeks. It started hard and took awhile to warm up and lubricate everything. It runs great but it needs to go on a long drive to get the fresh deisel running through the engine. I will stain and varnish everything once I get it completly framed and trimmed out. Once I get the bus to living conditions I will work on plumbing out a bathroom and running water. I plan to work on the bus doing the fine tunning and technical stuff this summer. I just want to get it in living order by May 1st as i will be putting it in a campground for the summer to live in. The campground has showers, electicity, toilets, a lake and pool. I will stay there till October then its off to the Florida Keys to stay for the winter. Yeeeess. I will work on a boat down there as a deck hand to give me something to do. Then its back to Michigan for the summer to work in the parks division till October again then out to Slad City in California Navada border. This is the place where they filmed " Into the wild". Here is the link to the video of the Bus thus far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0d70isfh7g
