Freakishly Happy

This week we've been moving a little slowly on our bus conversion.  John's finishing up on the very end of his contract, and the weather has been a little cold for working out side.

Today I did get a little bit of cleaning up done.  I spent some time trying to sort out all of the metal bits (nuts, bolts, metal stripping that was around the wheel wells) so that we can take it to be recycled as scrap from the wood and the rubber. It has been rainy the last few days, and the plywood that we took up over the weekend was wet and soggy.  

I still have a little bit more cleaning to do, but hopefully we can start weather/water-proofing and insulating soon.  Last night we found a really inspiring site:

It has a lot of house buses  and trucks from the 1960s and 70s as well as some modern ones from New Zealand. They have some really imaginative designs with great windows and skylights.  We got a lot of really good design ideas from it.  Now that the seats are out of the bus I'm really starting to get a good picture of what it might look like.  It's going to be exciting to see it all come together.

Tonight we're expecting 3-6 inches of sleet and ice, with a possibility of up to 18 inches of snow.  I doubt we'll be able to  work on the bus much tomorrow, as it's probably going to be a skating rink out side and I forgot my ice skates :)
