She’s been sold - The Russ Bus no longer belongs to us! We spent almost a year and a half turning that old bus into our dream tiny house, and she drove away without us last night. It felt strange to be left behind, but I’m so excited for the new owner (give her a … Continue reading The Blog Formerly Known as The Russ Bus
We’ve been in South Dakota for a week! We’ve seen snow, The Badlands, Custer State Park, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, and some beautiful sights. 😍 It’s getting colder and snowy, so Rett decided to go and get some supplies in case we get stranded. 😳 This is the first time we have been … Continue reading A Day in our Skoolie Life
This is it! Yesterday we took off on our longest trip by far - at 1,437 miles. So far, the trip has been pretty easy, and we’ve made great time. While I’m writing this, we’re driving through the middle of Missouri - almost half way there! Before we left, we spent three weeks in Prattville … Continue reading Headed North 🚌
I’ve never been a very good housekeeper. I wish I was one of those people who’s house is always clean and visitor-ready, but instead I’m the person who speed cleans while having a panic attack when someone is coming over. Life is just too short to keep a house clean. 🤷🏼♀️ One of the things … Continue reading Instagram Vs. Reality: Real Life in a Skoolie
Today we say goodbye to the place we’ve called home for the last four years. We moved to Albertville/Boaz right after I graduated from JSU for a teaching job. After that chapter closed, we decided to stay anyway and turn Boaz into our home. It’s where we bought our first home, brought our bus home, … Continue reading Saying Goodbye
I don't know about you, but my all-time favorite thing about social media is seeing my old memories pop up every year. This week last year must have been a big one for The Russ Bus, because my Timehop has been FULL of old pictures. We got our tiny oven and sink just ONE year … Continue reading Busy Year: A Skoolie Transition
It’s finally happening! Everybody stay calm... but we moved into the bus. We’re not completely finished, but the last few weeks have been spent working on the house instead for future tenants (!!!). That’s right, our house is empty. We sold just about everything that we own, and we are down to just what fits … Continue reading Moving In
This week officially marked one year since we brought the Russ Bus home! 🚌 Our goal was to have her finished within a year, and while we didn’t make it, we’ve made a CRAZY amount of progress! This post is dedicated to looking back on our last YEAR working on our baby. ☺️ These pictures … Continue reading The Russ Bus’s First Year
We are so close to being able to put up our ceiling! 🤗 I've been looking forward to this moment since we took down the old, school bus ceiling. One last thing we had to get finished before we can start was the weird little spot above the windshield. Before Such an eyesore, right? 🙈 … Continue reading Bus Update – Today’s Project
If you follow us on social media, you’ve seen the crazy transformation that our front steps have gone under lately. 😬 We decided to go ahead and get these covered to protect the Lizard Skin we put down a few weeks ago (if you missed that, you can read about it here). I had a … Continue reading One STEP at a Time
