What do you do with your spare time? Convert a school bus!

Converted 1969 International Loadstar elementary school bus into a 2-story home. As a certified sheetmetalist, a carpenter of 20+ years and avid about refurbishing, this was the only solution to occupy my spare time since 2001.

Honaly is now up for bid

    Forgot to Remove the Stovepipe!

    Honaly heading back to the shop before heading for the hiway. Forgot to remove the stovepipe!

    The beauty of a curved roof...no shoveling off the snow!
The new bus roof is made of aluminum.

    The beauty of a curved roof...

    No shoveling snow! The bullet-proof lexan & SS absorbs impact, supported by heavy-guage, curved, purlins & struts. 

    Top view of new bus roof with window

    The small window on the 2nd floor opens to allow airflow front and back. Additional screens run the length of the bus under the eaves.

    Interior bus back to front with ladder to 2nd story

    From back to front. Cannot see the woodstove and clawfoot tub but can view the sitting area and on towards the kitchen.

    In the beginning I decided I wanted a 2nd story

    Bus ready to hit the road for a new place

    Lost my lease on country bus barn in the middle of construction, moving on to an airplane hangar to finish the roof.

    Hippie bus needs new paint

    Had to layover at a storage place waiting for airport hangar. Got kicked out because they didn't like the looks of my hippie bus. Well I'll show them!

    Bus door and bad paint job

    First thing I will tackle when I finish the roof & paint is to build a new door! This one leaked forcing me to cut out & replace all the rusted steps.

    Front driver section under repair

    On near every bus I've worked on, the front steps and driver's area requires the most work. Always start with eliminating (cutting out and replace) al

    Front door antique handle on bus

    Finally got to that door! SS on insulated steel with antique handle. Fits like a glove!

    Upstairs We Go!

    Ceiling on 2nd Story

    Lexan & struts on 2nd story roof

    Purlings & struts along with lexan & SS sections prefabricated on the ground in sections prior to install upstairs. Needed a crane, bought scaffolding

    Front window installed 2nd story

    Framed in and locked into place. Also installed a vent fan on the left with a temperature regulator. Rarely use it tho.

    Finishing the 2nd Story Inside

    Installing lights over window 2nd story bus

    So awesome to work under the sky not getting wet! Ran electrical, trim out windows & install lights. Added knotty pine tongue lap siding, smells nice!

    Beveled, leaded window installed

    No home is complete without some homemade leaded, beveled windows. I built stained glass windows long ago and this was a remnant that fit!

    Time to roll out the linoleum

    Worried about possible condensation, I scored some large rolls of linoleum just to be certain. Have had no condensation but it will last forever!

    Sometimes I prefer ladders to scaffolding for cleaning the roof

    Sometimes I prefer ladders to scaffolding for cleaning the roof. Every other year she gets a wash and wax job & ck sealants.
