Current Happenings; 3/23/99                                                                                                                                    

   Over the past weekend we went to a large wrecking yard in Spokane WA. (Spaldings). Out of only three RV's there available for parting out, I managed to find six suitable windows for the bus. Next week I hope to take delivery of the metal I need to sheet in the sides where the old windows were and frame in the new ones. At this time I am still working on sealing in the front and rear caps, part of which is being held up by the metal delivery. I have a buddy working on that now, he is set up to make the sheet metal cuts to size and can get it to me at a greatly reduced rate. Definitely worth the wait, so stay tuned!

The sheet metal is here! We are in the process of framing in the windows and riveting in the side panels. See Skinning page.

OK, I was a little delayed by the fence project and then the roof on my house had to be replaced. I have the front, rear and passenger side skinned in and I picked up the angle iron I needed to finish the drivers side. I found a new shower stall at a yard sale and a two way fridge that had been replaced with a conventional home model. Add $125.00 to service the $700.00 fridge, I had to replace its little computer brain, otherwise it seems to be working fine.

Good news, so far my bus project seems to be Y2K compliant !

This is a work in progress, almost every day there is something new on the bus, or the web page, or both! Please enter the main site below and see where we are today.
