I've been (slowly) working on the 24v wiring throughout the bus, and have now added a couple more pelmet lights. The 24v system runs from the battery room underneath the bus to four remote fuse boxes, before being distributed in each local area to lights and USB charging sockets. It's been fiddly work but I'm getting lots of practice and getting better at my technique! I've also been putting the finishing touches to the kitchen cupboards and pantry space. Next on my list is the bathroom area (currently an empty space) and getting the gas sorted for the stove and hot water service. Having exhausted our bus project funds (and energy levels), the timeline for completion has blown out, but I'm still thinking that we're on track to move into the bus within the next three months.

It's been a while since we posted an update. After our two week holiday and 'test run' in the bus, we returned home and came crashing back to reality. I hadn't realised just how burnt out I was until we took a holiday and I actually stopped still (or at least slowed down for a little bit). I had been working on the bus every day and every night for many months, whilst juggling full-time parenting and domestic responsibilities. Despite things being unfinished in the bus, the holiday was wonderful. It gave us all an awesome taste of bus life. We loved it so much that it was hard to return to our normal life and routine in Brisbane. My mind was already on the road and dreaming of our next destination. Having also exhausted our bus funds, the project needed to slow down anyway! For a couple of weeks, I hardly went near the bus. But gradually my motivation and energy has returned. I've jumped back into the project over the past couple of weeks, completing the kitchen cabinets, pantry cupboards and drawers. And I'm now tackling the huge task of 24v wiring throughout the bus. I'm working at a much more manageable pace and leaving time for other interests (adventures with the kids, hanging out with @littleearthstories, reading books, and our new hobby of kayaking). It's all about balance! I have a long list of jobs to complete in the bus (I'll save that list for another post) but am feeling confident that we can have the bus ready (to a 'livable in caravan parks' standard) within a few months.

These two like to start their day with a little walk outside. They wander around like two old men, inspecting the new day, watching the bird life and taking in their surroundings. We're camped at Pottsville North (thanks to @tweedcoastholidayparks) which is perfect for their morning walk. We're on a powered site (suitable for buses) in a large grassy field, with plenty of open space for the boys to roam. It's quiet and peaceful, except for the distant roar of ocean waves and the hauntingly beautiful call of the park's resident bush stone curlews. #tweedcoast #pottsville #busconversion #buslife #bus #tinyhouse #skoolie #skoolieconversion #vanlife #offgrid #busbuild #rvlife #busnut #busrollwithit #livesmaller #nomad #happycamper #wander #wanderlust #homeiswhereyouparkit #ontheroad #travelwithkids #caravanpark #holiday

We hit the road yesterday for our first road trip and family adventure in Bronte the bus! The bus travelled well, with everything staying in its designated place! We've all been battling a serious case of the flu for the past two weeks, so the bus isn't quite finished. I've still got heaps of cabinet work to finish in the kitchen. And stacks of 24v wiring. But for now, it is so wonderful to be living in the bus and enjoying a break. This afternoon the boys and I bid farewell to @littleearthstories. Sam is off to help crew the @bellalunaboat to New Caledonia. And tomorrow the boys and I are off to explore the Tweed Coast for a week.

An opportunity has come up to join the crew of the @bellalunaboat (the floating home of her cousin @miaowthecat and her awesome family) on their first international sailing adventure. Sam was initially reluctant to leave us for a whole fortnight but I managed to convince her that we'd survive (just) without her! Amazing opportunities like this don't come along every day! In her former life (pre-kids and before our time), Sam was crazy about sailing and enjoyed many a long haul sailing adventure in Australian waters. In our current life, Sam has worked long hours as the sole breadwinner of the family - to keep us afloat financially and to allow us the chance to pursue the dream of bus life. I'm thrilled to see Sam join the crew for this awesome sailing adventure and deserved opportunity! Meanwhile... the boys and I are busy hatching our very own plans, to take Bronte the bus on a 'test run' and a much needed holiday by the sea. The details are not yet finalised, but I've been working around the clock to get the bus ready for its maiden voyage. It won't be completely finished, but good enough for us to enjoy our new house on wheels and take a break. The boys have told me that they would like to go somewhere quiet by the beach to do some fishing! And I am so ready for that. #busconversion #buslife #bus #tinyhouse #skoolie #skoolieconversion #vanlife #offgrid #busbuild #rvlife #busnut #busrollwithit #livesmaller #nomad #happycamper #wander #wanderlust #homeiswhereyouparkit #ontheroad #buslifeaustralia #buslifeau
