The School Bus
When Michael started looking for a school bus, he didn’t realize he would be so lucky so quickly. In fact, he soon stumbled on an auction on PublicSurplus.com with 10 school buses up for grabs. Apparently there were only a few bidders, as not many people knew about that the Austin School District was selling. In the end, Michael bought the school bus for just $2,200 and according to him, he “made out like a bandit.” While other people might have bought more buses, Michael thought this one was perfect and decided to do a bus conversion.
What Does That Mean?
Instead of using the school bus as a frame for a tiny house, he decided to take his plans to the next level. Although it sounds very ambitious, Michael wanted to convert the bus into a livable house. This meant it would come complete with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room.
