Smitty's Bus

[Redbear]

Dang! You've finished what would take me about 7 years to do. I think much faster than I work. My rate of work is about 6 boards per day, but that is because in the past I have been working in old houses that aren't square anymore, and every board needs 27 angle cuts that need to be measured 3 times each. I guess that's good practice for someday working on a bus with round corners. And where did I put down that tool that I was carrying around?

Great job, keep it up. The fish must really be calling your name!

[bus-ted]

Smitty- how are you routing your gas line, and where are your tanks? I'm just curious about the vert. pipe in the pic, and where it leads.

Smitty - are those your cigs on that table top? Throw them out those thing will kill you! I have to say it, my grandma died of stage 4 lung cancer from them. Sorry

[bus-ted]

Your patience and planning is sure paying off. That's going to be one styley ride when you're done.
As an aside, I share your opinion on smoking. This world's become such a toxic **** pit in many regards ('scuse my French), that it pisses me off when "they" do the bait 'n' switch and try and tell me my cigs are the problem, as in banning public smoking when there are 100's of thousands of cars driving and idling around the same space that I'm forbidden to smoke in, and the coal-fired electric plant's off in the horizon, and on and on... but my little stick of tobacco is now deemed of satan.
Sorry, had to get that off my chest!

[RUskoolietailgater]

Ha, well opinions aside I just don't want you dying on me and leaving all these buses with no wisdom and leaving your bus un-finished!

Hey Smitty (or should I call you Neon Moon?) Are you posting pics of your bus over on Escapees just to make the sticks-N-staples guys jealous? Or are you trying to convert them to skoolies?

Smitty,
Everything looks nice, but I really like the way you did the inside trim on those windows...they are really sharp.

Great job smitty- I'm starting my solar/ wind generator project now. Are you going to build your own panels? That's what I'm up to these days. I have everything for the system- now to get it up and running.

I second that - very good idea to save space.

[Stuff]

just glue it good or it might sag over time.

Smitty the bus is looking great. Glad you were finally able to do what you wanted with it.

Did you ever go back and look at my updated post on the toilet.

Using peatmoss and baking soda worked great for me.

WOW! don't know what I like better... the bathroom night light or the ceiling and walls. Looks really modern, I usually use the roofing after it is all rusted up and aged, didn't know it was still available new. Good job! Leslie
