We are a young couple that decided to convert an old school bus into a beautiful tiny home. We started with skoolie demolition by pulling out bus seats. Then we painted the bus floor and removed all of the windows to start getting ready for the roof raise.
We continued by cutting the bus in half. Then we lifted the roof and started welding. Later, we added New Skoolie Side Panels. The next part was tough. We had to finish the school bus roof transition. From there, finished the rear of the skoolie and started rebuilding the rear door. Next, we had to paint the school bus.
We bought some epoxy primer and started priming the skoolie and getting it ready to paint. Then we started spray painting a skoolie and added RV Windows.
We built a Cedar front door from scratch, then we moved to the interior of the bus. We added a subfloor and water tank. We used spray foam to insulate the bus, and added walls. We finished the skoolie office first. Then we moved to the Cozy Skoolie Bedroom and the beautiful Skoolie Bathroom. Finally we finished the Charming Skoolie Kitchen.
