Here is how the bus looks at present.Obviously
we have our work cut out for us.The first order
of business is to paint it some nice color.

Yes,that's right,I did say used vegetable oil.Most folks do not realize that the inventor of the diesel engine made it to run off of veggie oil.Commercially this is known as Biodiesel.What many also do not know is that,with a few modifications, you can also use used veggie oil .Much of it can be obtained for free from restaurants that usually pay to dispose of it. It is environmentally friendly and causes very little air pollution. The gas mileage is no different than with diesel and it does not harm the engine in any way.Check out the links page for more info about this fascinating and gentle fuel.

We begin work on our bus in September. When finished, we will be living in it on the road, going to art festivals and fairs,selling my sculptures and my husband's new C.D. .Our goal is to make it fully self contained for extended periods of "boondocking", also known as camping in one place for a long while without amenities.

Check back periodically as I will be updating the site with photos as the conversion comes along.
