After leaving Michigan we took a slow meander on our own to the next bus rally in Ohio. Dayton, OH While it wasn’t the most direct route to New Paris, OH – we wanted to stop at the USAF Museum in Dayton. So we got an early start from Sterling State Park just north of […]
Bus Projects
The Cat Who Walks Through Walls
Hi everyone.. Kiki here. You know all those bus projects my people keep talking about? Notice how few of them are for CATS?? They keep doing things like adding a new refrigerator, a dual desk, new floors and cabling conduits. Oh come on…yawn… borning.. it’s all for people! Everything should be about the cat! Last […]
Our Freaky Deeky Time Machine
Our bus will turn 51 years old this September. And we’ve become totally enamored with tracking down her history before she became our Zephyr. We’ve found the GM delivery list and tracked down that she was ordered and in service to Citizen Auto Stage out of Nogales, Arizona. We knew that she was mainly a […]
Finally – a Bus Project for Cats!
Hey everyone… Kiki here! My people keep tackling all these bus projects, but they ignore my list of demands! After a year, I’ve gotten pretty fed up with it. Here’s my list – I think it’s all reasonable, right? Last week, I finally got my own desk! My grandmeow in St. Louis had gotten me […]
Happy 1-Year Busiversary!
Wow. Has it been a year already? One year ago today – after an extensive cross country search by Amtrak train, and 2-days in the roasting hot 120+ degree Arizona sun trying to get her ready for a test drive – we bought Zephyr – our 1961 GM PD-4106 bus conversion. When we found her […]
Project Dominoes – Refrigerator Replacement
There is an exhilarating yet exhausting game that every bus owner, RV owner, boat owner, and home owner will probably play at some point. Project Dominoes. In case you aren’t immediately familiar with the game, let me describe for you a recent relatively epic project dominoes tournament of ours. First, you start with a single […]
Bus Kitchen & Bathroom Remodel
The month of February had us with the opportunity to tackle some more bus projects. The availability of Chris’ nearby uncle Brian, who is a licensed building contractor, shifted our focus to kitchen & bathroom remodeling. After we first got the bus in June 2011, we did some basic kitchen updating that was meant to […]
How Many Similarities Can You Spot?
We’re working on a more detailed post with our recent kitchen and bathroom remodeling, as well as an updated video tour of Zephyr’s interior. In the meantime, I thought it’d be fun to share this before & after picture: Feel free to click on the photo for a larger version. The first photo was taken […]
The Sink-Free Lifestyle
Our recent bus remodeling included a new bathroom countertop. We were perplexed with what kind of sink to put in it, as the counter is a very low 30″ tall. Given the small space of the bathroom, we didn’t feel we wanted to bring the counters up to a more modern & usable height and […]
Our Propane Free Goal
We are deep in the midst of a kitchen remodel this week, and we’ve been posting progress photos on our Facebook page as we go. We’ll do a post with better photos of the completed project later. But because the remodel has involved us permanently pulling our propane powered range / oven, we’ve been getting a […]
