We did it, we finally finished out the inside of the bus, and it looks beautiful, and so snug. We only have a few photos at the moment but there will be plenty more to come. And look at our tiny woodstove!
It's a Jotul that we found on Craigslist for quite cheap, and the guy selling it to us also drove around the county in a school bus with a tiny wood stove. It has kept us nice and toasty warm at night, although occasionally it gets a bit cold around 6am and Zach and I have a small battle for who will have to get out from under the covers and stoke the fire.
The smokestack is just on the inside of the bus for traveling purposes, and we reattach it to the outside once we've set up camp for the evening. Our first long drive with the bus was a huge success, meaning that only a couple of spices fell off the rack. My favorite part of the bus right now is the little kitchen area. More photos to come!
Oh, and we stopped by the Bourbons' to show Jaco the bus. We're not quite sure how he felt about it.

I can remember how handy and inventive your father is. And of coarse, your mother has also been an excellent Craftswomen. She made several pieces some of which we use nearly every day. Interestingly enough, The strength of each piece has prevented any chipping. The soup salad dishes were designed to the pattern as our wall tiles in the kitchen of our Stony Point home. These are used nearly every day. And then your mother decided to go Blue and she made Thelma a large Blue Lazonia cookware. Wow, does it do a super job.
Love to your mother and father. Oh, say hello to Parker.
Love - Thelma & Marvin Phillips
