I woke up this morning and realized that I was still alive. Cool! Now I can continue these postings. Here is another view of the couch area. To the right of the clock, on that small shelf, there is a transistor radio that my dad gave me when I was nine years old. It works off a nine volt battery and...

It is late (early in the morning) and I have been posting most of the day. I am excited to have gotten to the pictures of the finished work. Good night, and Keep On Bussin'. More is coming tomorrow. Rudy

Upper cabinet above couch

Here is the walnut wall. It is made from solid walnut cabinet doors. They were given to me and I was determined to use them in a creative way. The first three days after I put them up, I did not want to look at this ostentatious presence in my bus. What is this, a lawyer's office? It just is not my ...

As long as we are headed towards the couch, we might as well have a look at it as well as the walnut wall. Under the couch and between the booth bottoms, I made a face frame and door. The door opens downward. Inside that compartment, I have 16, one gallon water jugs. HEY, do you see that ghost in he...

dburt, Thanks for the compliment.

Here are some more views of that little wall.

In between the dog bed and the couch, I made a little wall out of the flooring boards and put a little ledge on top made of plywood and stained it the light color.

As we venture into the bus we turn around and look at it once again.

It's such a pretty piece, let's look at it some more. Oh yeah, It's time to talk about the staining process. For the light color, I used Minwax Polyshades. It is a stain and polyurethane all in one can. It is called Pecan Satin. A quart is about $13. I used foam brushes and let the first coat dry fo...

So, come on in. I'll show you around. Let's start with the dog bed/hamper.

OH! Did I forget to tell you that this platform also becomes a dog bed with the putting of the cushion on it? I have two of these cushions. I also put one on the engine cover. Emma likes that one during the day as it affords her a view out the driver's window. Also I don't put the platform down duri...

Here are two shots of the platform in place.

It's easier to see the lip here.

I thought that it would be tough to cut the flooring boards around the top rim if the stairs, so chose to make it out of plywood and carpet. In this photo, it is hard to tell the rim. Look at the top of the picture.
