While it raises many questions it also gives me a new sense of desire to find the bus and jump in and make something special for me and my family. Everyone keep up the great work and can't wait to see pictures for inspiration!
Thank y'all

My moaning has had unintended side effects! Ha! I can live with that! Surely I never intended to scare others away from their dream of converting their very own bus. But a bit of caution is never a bad thing. If someone told me I would never finish it in six months I would have laughed at them and considered it a challenge!
What I forgot to add in was the time I fixed meals for my dad. The trips I took him out for a drive. The football games we watched together. The political debates we watched and repeated. The time spent with my wife traveling to spend time with our kids, participating in their marriage, watching our first grandchild come into the world, worrying about their choices, learning to let go. What I forgot to add in was life. It continues no matter what you had planned to work on. So things take a bit longer.
Forget buying that stair master! You already own one! It's big and yellow and it has wheels! If I had a penny for every time I climbed in and out of that bus... sometimes ten times to cut one piece of wood so it would fits!
To all those who would join in this lunicratic crusade I bid you welcome! It is a good crusade loaded with bruised craneums, gashed lepictiums, mashed frickthumdiums and splintered eyesplectiums! By God Man! You've come to the RIGHT PLACE!!!
Your humble servant!
