Fridge | the Anne Marie
http://bus.life/tag/fridge
Today was a rest day for us, since we work through the weekends we’ve taken to using Wednesdays as our day off. Things are moving along briskly, and it’s a good thing, since the weather is starting to get brisk as well. We attached the ladder to the back of the bus, making access to the deck much easier. No more clambering up the hood! Jake Von Slatt's Conversion. WPI Creative's Conversion. The Juan Way Tour. Would you look at that bus? See The Full List. Text and photos of the Anne Marie.

Hearth | the Anne Marie
http://bus.life/tag/hearth
With our hearth done, the next step is to make our wood stove. Usable. We need to run some stove pipe up and out of the roof. First, we secured the stove to the floor so we have a steady starting point. I’d never drilled into masonry before, but it turns out that with a masonry bit it’s pretty easy. Everything is easy with the right tools. So we cut a hole in the wood, then in the metal roof. Then we cut a hole in the deck. Inside, we covered the ceiling hole with another piece of the DuraVent flashing&#...

Bed | the Anne Marie
http://bus.life/tag/bed
We finished the upholstery for the bed, though I didn’t take any process pictures. It looked about the same as the port bench, except about 6 feet shorter. You get the idea. The hinges work perfectly, and draw the upholstery foam away from the wall when the bench flips up to reveal the bed. Next up are the solar panels and other electrical stuff. We’ve divided our interior into individual units that will together make up our living area. We’ve finished roughing out two of these. Hank Bought A Bus. Hostin...

Inspiration | the Anne Marie

What We’re Working Towards. This open layout does accommodate less stuff than traditional RV designs, but in exchange there are breath-taking views each and every direction you look. The full length of windows are open for viewing, which makes the space feel that much larger. And the bus itself can be seen and admired. Though it gives up a fair amount of storage space, all the essentials are there. Though sadly I haven’t been successful in contacting either the creators or the present owners.

Counter | the Anne Marie
http://bus.life/tag/counter
We finished laminating the countertop! We just bought a roll of slate print laminate to attach to our plywood counter. It was actually pretty easy to install. We didn’t take any process pictures, but there’s a tutorial on youtube. That we leaned pretty heavily on, and I highly recommend it if you’re looking to try this instead of buying an already finished countertop. This had the added bonus of allowing us to use a little of the excess laminate to make our refrigerator match the counter. Built with Clea...

Festivals | the Anne Marie
http://bus.life/tag/festivals
When we last left off, we still had water flowing uninterrupted into our precious living quarters. Well, maybe it was only a trickle, but it was still entirely too much. With the bus stripped back down to bare metal, we tried to figure out a solution. But the bus still had obligations to meet. Our old insulation fit easily in place on the floor, and we covered it with 1/2″ plywood this time instead of 1/4″. This does give us a more smooth and even subfloor to build on. We skipped the ...We insulated the ...

Demolition | the Anne Marie
http://bus.life/tag/demolition
What’s the hold up? It’s been a rough spring for the Anne Marie. As the weather warmed up, we started spending more time in there, and began construction of a new unit. It came together quickly, and we set our eyes on installing the woodstove. Taking a closer look at the section set aside for the woodstove, we noticed some water damage on the plywood subfloor and water marks on the insulation on the walls. Oh crap. What’s going on? Alright – everything out! I’d be lying if I said that this didnR...
