Farm Life
Whilst Michael spent time on his conversion project, he actually lived in a tent on his friend’s farm outside of Austin, Texas. This meant that his living expenses were practically $0 per month, so he could save as much money as he could while he worked on his project. While he was working, he also commuted each day to Austin, and saved up extra money to buy wood and steel to complete his school bus conversion, or tiny house on wheels. Either way, he took his chance to enjoy living on the farm in the meantime.

A Kitchen for a King
The project was well underway, and the bus now had four walls and a roof (a raised one). Next, Michael could focus on working on the interior. First, he built a wooden frame for his couch, and then started working on the kitchen area, since he loved to cook. Although he did seem to be a bit unconventional, surprisingly, Michael actually went to IKEA to get a butcher block, cabinets and drawers. Needless to say, he did manage to find some clearance stock, so he actually made a steal. The cabinets and drawers were just $30 and the huge butcher block counter-top was only $120. In fact, the entire kitchen space was already larger than his expensive North Austin studio apartment!
