Aarons School Bus Converstion

1988 Blue Bird 

Hardwood floors already installed it also came with the futon.

                               With 2x2's he framed in the walls and insulated. 

Framed in the bathroom

and bunk beds.

The Bunks were made from the futon

The bunks are designed to turn a couch.

Into bunk beds

The Kitchen cabinets where re-purposed 

from a local homeowner who was remodeling.

The Drivers seat was in desperate need of repair.

Now that's a proper Drivers seat. 

And here's Aaron

With on-demand propane fired hot water.

Safety belts installed on the main bench seating. 

It's really beginning to look like something. 

Power out-lets installed.  

Looking better with custom made

cushions. 

Arm rest being covered with

vinyl. 

Padding added

It's come a long way

Curtains sewn and hung

Laying up the arm rest covers.

This is me Terry

The Gazebo project

The Gazebo is in need of repair.

First remove the nasty old top.

Laid out and pattern cut.

Instead of spending a hole bunch on material

I decided to use a green poly tarp.

Keeping it quick and easy

 I cut out the bent section of metal roof support

 and fit in a piece of wood.

With the roof framing repaired the first

section of the new roof is checked for fit.

After sewing the six pieces together

the test fit.

The center cap is cut and ready.

Both sewn and bound with trim.

After installing the roof cap

I used a broom to push the new

cover into place. 

And using a broom....you get the idea.

There we go.

The Porch Swing Project

After years of exposure the porch swing was ready for a rebuild. 

Using the old seat as a pattern 

the new one should fit well.

The hard part was sewing the seat around the metal frame.

The old paint easily sanded smooth then 

I used a flat green spray can to make it look new.

It took a few coats. 

Since the sunshade frame could be disassembled,

 it was easy to sew it's replacement. 

The cushions defiantly needed an upgrade. 

The finished project and just in time for mothers day.
