We finally dropped the bus off at the shop on Wednesday. It’s been a good summer, one filled with lots of bus work and time spent with family. At lot of progress has been made, but a lot of work on the bus still remains. With all the additional metal work needed on the bus, working on this thing was beginning to become more of a chore that I originally intended. The solution: outsourcing!
I’m planning on having Monkey Nut complete the remaining welding including the front floor, cargo floor, and rocker panels. They will also fix that big dent in the front nose – sweet! Now that my life has a sudden gaping hole of time and energy (remember I quit my corporate job back in May,) we have decided to switch gears and get started traveling. So… While we wait for the bus to get more work done, we are headed to the Netherlands!!
We are renting an apartment via Airbnb.com in the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam for about 2 months. This will hopefully be our first of many different destinations and travel experiences, and I am planning on continuing to log it all with pictures and a few insights into what will (hopefully) be the start of a great trip!
In the coming week or so, I will be updating the site to be a little less about the bus, and a little more about our experiences – stay tuned for more.
