Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
We document our life on KZread videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

    Literally one of the best designs for a school bus tiny home conversion that I've seen. Love the way the back bedroom is to the side leaving a little corridor/hallway that adds so much dimension.

    Looks great. Only issue is the shelving is not very practical in several spots when in motion/driving down the road. Either you have to secure everything ahead of time to take your chances that nothing goes flying. Also the "back closest" pole for hanging clothes looks very shallow. I would bring it away from the wall a couple inches. This schoolie really is a pleasant, open layout and has plenty of natural light.

I love the nick nack shelf up front, the book shelf by the kitchen it's all really awesome. I hope the couple ends up sending in pictures when the bus is completed. Thanks for sharing......

    You Blue Ridge guys do really nice work -- especially the woodwork. I never saw a schoolie with a wood entry staircase before. I like the large sink - big enough to hold all of Thanksgiving dinner's dirty dishes. What surprised me most was the two door, under the counter refrigerator. I wanted one like that for my apartment; but no local supplier could come look.

    3 things to keep in mind when buying a bus for this type of thing: 1.) Bring a tape measure because some buses only have an interior height of 5'10", which one may consider getting a different model, or perhaps extending the roof for BOTH headroom and a sufficient amount of insulation. 2.) Check the length of the bus, because in certain states a bus(or any vehicle or total length of vehicle with trailer) that measures over 30 ft., it's required that the driver must posses a CDL. ...and 3.) After running into this issue I decided to change my living & storage format. Imagine your driving your tiny home-vehicle and it's in-need of repair. So you take your vehicle/home into a garage and they inform you that they'll need to keep the vehicle overnight(or longer) to get the part for the job or the job is taking particularly long. Where do you stay now? ...they're not going to let you stay in the vehicle during the time it's in the shop. So what I do now, is use a van to sleep in, while I haul a trailer for the rest of my stuff. But I also have the trailer built to-where I can sleep in it, IF my vehicle has to spend the night(or longer) in a mechanic's shop. ...just something to consider ;)

    We have drawn and redrawn potential floorplans for our skoolie and this one is almost exactly what we have! So exciting to be able to see something so similar in real life! Some differences we have in our skoolie are: 1) We have a child and are planning on more but we co-sleep, so in the back we'll have a toddler murphy bed that folds down flush to the edge of our queen. The fold up space will be kids play space under murphy bed. We also won't be able to access our garage from inside (not sure if i'll regret this or not). 2) Woodstove with storage under behind the driver seat. 3) We have a washer and dog kennel space under the queen bed in the back. 4) Overhead storage above queen instead of peg board 5) And i'm hoping to find a little RV size tub for the kids. But otherwise same exact layout! So excited to start our build! I think it's gonna work really well for us. And I'm trying to decide if I really need a mini sink in the bathroom or not.
