Re: Short Bus Update
Repaired the floor in front of the drivers seat (with a little redneck ingenuity), installed wood flooring on the steps, and stripped/cleaned the outside window trim.

Done the plate trick myself a few times. The most recent time I happened to have a junk microwave and used the cover from that.
