My 70s Bus --Old Blue

Well the Bus is coming along fine. I hav'nt done to much on it lately due to the weather being crumby. I drove it up to Ludington two weeks ago and all systems were go. The Bus ran great and the additives I put in it seemed to make it run much better as I got closer to Ludington. I have the walls up, windows are tinted, the walls are half stained and some of the cedar trim is on. The closets are built, the computer desk is in and the frame for the bed is built.

I have made a couple of videos about the Bus and all and here is some links to them on YouTube.

I will be going up and working on the Bus this next weekend for three days and should be able to get the rest of the stuff done, with the walls stained, closets trimmed out and stained, and the Blinds all in place over the windows that I bought. I have a whole truck load of lumber and things to finish up the Bus. I bought a sink and will install that. The next couple weeks will be getting the floor polyurethaned and rugs put down. I will then get the frig in, stove in, couch in, and Bed purchased. Then the task will be to run some electrical outlets in the closet walls and in the sink cabinet wall. I'm excited to start spending time in the Bus, its becoming a home to me already. I have become quite attached to it since I bought it February 15th 2009.

I have made a small web site on geocites that is just the Bus and its progress if you want to check that out the link is here. Well I guess that is it for now, more to come next week.. Untill then "Live-4-today" My friends

"OLD BLUE" Bus That is"

Hello everyone. I have a new project I have taken on, Like that is a surprise to any one who knows me. I have purchase a great Big Blue Bus from a local church. I plan to work on this and make a camping R.V out of it. The proposed plan is to live in this for a year traveling around the United states finding work wherever I come to rest. I have always wanted to do this for like ten years now. I finally have puchased it and I have to go thru with it now. I will still go to the Upper Peninsula the summer and canoe around Lake superior. I will just use the Bus as a camping stop and rest for a couple of days before continuing on. Well I will document the conversion of this Old Blue here on my blogs and on Youtube. I think it will be fun to follow the progress of the work being done by you all.

Here is a picture of my new addition to the crazy things in my life. Old Blue is a 1989 international desiel. It was owned by a church and has just under 200,000 thousand miles on it. It is very clean inside and has of course all the seats still in it. The bus just passed its DOT inspection and is in good running order. The Engine is a 466 international. Well I guess that is all for now, and I will keep you posted on the progress, or nonsense as it unfolds. I will pick up the bus next week and will drive it north to park it at my Parents to start the transfermation. This is the Northern Wanderer saying Live for Today. !!!
