Follow our attempt to turn a 2008 International BC200 bus with VT365 engine into a tiny home/skoolie! In this episode, we finish the skylight hatch and our roof deck with INSET TABLE! From start to finish, the roof deck build took us a whole year (working on it when we had the time and when the weather wasn't crummy). The learning curve was steep, but it was so worth it! Now we get to enjoy morning coffees and sunset dinners with a view, and we couldn't be happier about it.
