Hello, from me and Maeflower!

Hi, all!

I've actually been lurking around the sidelines of the forums for awhile now because I've been too shy to post. But ding dang it, a big part of buying a skoolie was to get me out of my comfort zone, so here we go!

Back in May, I bought my bus, Maeflower. She is a 2002 Chevy E3500 shorty with a Bluebird microbus body. I've done most of the demo on the inside and trying to work every day toward my goal of having a lil skoolie home. Right now, it's just me and my dad (who is a carpenter) working on the build, so it's slow going, but I'm still so amazed that I'm even able to do most of the stuff I've done! This process has been simultaneously empowering and humbling so far!

I'm excited to be a part of the skoolie clan! Here are some pictures of my little wanderer and the progress we've made:
