More progress is made on the bus but since the bus was at the dealership for six days, these two weeks activities are combined into one action-packed episode-o-rama!  Okay, maybe it's not THAT exciting, but still, two weeks become one episode.
Yes!  The oft-told fable os Vermont Registration!  I did it, and I'll go over how to do it in this weeks episode.  P.S. It takes 4-6 weeks to do this by mail, plan accordingly.

We've passed the Mason Dixon line at last!
Corona is making everything interesting, so how are we holding up in the bus?

Why am I converting an old school bus into a tiny home?  Why am I doing this podcast?  This episode has some answers.   email: theskooliediaries@yahoo.com Instagram: @felicianomiko

There are a lot of options out there for a bus conversion.  I talk about what we chose and how we narrowed the choice down. Buslandia.net has more info for further research into this topic.

I detail what got done in week one of our bus conversion. There are triumphs, there are defeats, but always, there is enthusiasm for the adventure!
This week I cover the activities of two weeks because that's how long doing these things stretched. Lot's of Instagram pictures for this one! It's my longest episode yet, but I have a feeling next week with be even longer.

This week I recount the trials and tribulations of our bus painting adventure.  I'm a little mellow and a little off-kilter this episode due to a minor mishap at the gym that pulled my back and pain tend to make me either really mellow or really cranky.  You all got lucky!  Whee, so much fun!  TheSkoolieDiaries@yahoo.com https://www.instagram.com/felicianomiko/
A quick update, time is getting so short!  Tempers are flaring, the garage is full of crap and the bus floor is covered in sawdust!  AAHH!!
We get a lot of pluming deliveries, We put in the flooring and I recaulk the windows again.  Because I'm a moron.  Enjoy.
We started the plumbing only to realize, I needed to frame in the bed and he needed to clean the underbus storage.  Everything leads to everything on a bus...
This is my longest episode yet and is chock full of progress and a healthy dose of uhms, ands, uhs and a few buts and sos just to round things out.  It's been a long, long two weeks and I'm doing my best to be coherent.  LOL
This last week wasn't the most grand in progress but we're still moving forward. And a great hurdle that has plagued us the whole bill has been lept!
This week we finish up some more plumbing related stuff, the weather changes for the worse, the dog complicates matters, and we get our first visit from City Parking Enforcement!  It was a fun-filled week full of small victories and minor complications.
Another eventful week working on Vault 211.  So eventful my husband had to come in and help me tell the story of the batteries.  Then updates on things done and cabinets made.
This was one of the most challenging weeks of our conversion story, but it had a pretty happy ending.  More melancholy than usual, but the bus life spirit is not lost.
A short, rather uneventful episode, but not without its troubles...
