The Background



For me the time has come when, for many many reasons, my life needs to change. Living to Work has had to become Working to Live. Since I was in my 20's I've wanted to own a motorhome. More than that, I've had a burning desire to convert a bus or coach into a home on wheels, not to live in, but to get away in.

This has never happened and although I did buy an old Ford bus many years ago with this intention, work and family prevented me from devoting the time to the conversion. Things are different now. The stars have aligned not only to make it possible, but also almost necessary for me to 'follow the dream'.

SO here begins the 'Project'. A project to convert a former school bus into my idea of a holiday home. I intend to do as much of the conversion as I can myself, not only to save money but from the satisfaction I know the end product will bring.

Why a blog? For two reasons; I have a number of friends and family interstate who I hope will want to follow the progress of the conversion, and because I want to put what I am doing out there in enough detail that it might assist those who follow.
