We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to LA but unfortunately I (Mela) caught a cold on the way back home. So Don headed back into the bus solo so I could get some rest. We were so close to being done with these floors (we have been doing this for what feels like forever) so he… Continue reading Bus Demolition Day 17: Rust Removal, No Problem!

Bus Demolition Day 16: We Are Going Back to LA!
We couldn’t believe we were still working on the same jobs – cleaning the glue off the frame, rust removal and taking the seat rails out.

Bus Demolition Day 15: A Place to Park Our Bus

Lucky for us we live in a beautiful forest, so… Continue reading Bus Demolition Day 13: Live Edge Countertop and Even More Glue Removal!
Bus Demolition Day 12: Glue Removal and We Bought Our Flooring!
The previous day Don had painted Citristrip on top of the glue on the metal frame of the floor of the bus. With the use of the Multi tool we were able to get the glue off much quicker! So we went ahead and painted the rest of the glue with the Citristrip. We had to… Continue reading Bus Demolition Day 12: Glue Removal and We Bought Our Flooring!
