Tiny House Giant Journey

Tiny House Giant Journey

День тому

Joel and Rachel purchased a school bus conversion that was originally renovated on HGTV, and then they completely redid it. The final version of this skoolie is absolutely stunning, and the couple now enjoys living #buslife full time! The purchase price was $29,000 and they spent another $12,000 in upgrades (including the solar system). This brings their total cost to $41,000, which is pretty affordable when you consider that's the cost of their home AND their vehicle! In this video they take us on a bus conversion tour!

Do you think $41,000 is a good deal for this bus conversion, or would you pay more or less?

For me, the ideas in ukposts.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

After I graduate, I want to look for a job in Washington State, and buy a piece of land, build a tiny house, then convert a skoolie so the skoolie can be the guest house. That's my dream. And this channel was part if that dream. So thank you for sharing so many living alternatives.

We downsized to bus 6 months ago. We also have a 20 fr trailer, but we have our own land to park on. When he said it's freeing to have so little possessions he's so right! I am NOT a minimalist. I love my stuff (especially my purses) and I never had the desire to downsize. Now that we live tiny and have gotten rid of so much I feel like I discovered the happiness to life. Being able to live with very little and be happy gives you so much freedom!

Joel said they were living pay check to pay check. Many people are living this life too. $1, 400 for apartment rent is expensive!! Apartment rents go up each year. Joel and Rachel were smart to leave there apartment and move into this bus. Now Joel and Rachel are saving that apartment rent $1,400! If Joel or Rachel lose there job they won't have to worry about not paying for rent or being evicted. I like this bus!!! Excellent job!!!

Search Etsy for a chunky knit blanket. They are quite expensive if you buy 100% Merino wool. I have a queen sized version that I bought on Etsy from a woman in Lithuania who hand made it, and I paid a little over $300 for it. They are very heavy and will keep you very warm. BUT because it's wool, it does pill and shed a lot. Because it was so expensive I only use mine for decoration at the end of the bed, and a foot warmer on super cold nights!

If you're looking for something similar that is a little more durable and much less expensive, I've seen these made with an acrylic type yarn as well. It still has that chunky knit look but is washable and much more durable for regular use. Either option makes a beautiful accent for any room!
