15. Moving in, Composting Toilet, Pantry

2nd of July - Flue casing done, heater pumping, its time to move in!!!!! There is still a lot to do. But we've got a comfy bed and heat so we are in.
3rd July - Starting to get visitors already! Nobbie chillin with Em. Temporary kitchen bench tops. No drawer fronts but it will be functional soon!
More drawer fronts and stainless handles. Bench tops to come. This is sort of a hallway section but Hudsons room spills into this area with the curtain open. We didn't want to waste space having a separate hallway section walled off from the rooms.
Hudsons cosy little room.
7th July - Digging a line trench for the composting toilet. This leads to an absorption trench about 25m away from the bus and is a shallow grave sized trench with gravel, ag pipe and hessian cloth. The excess liquid from the toilet ends up here.

Nepal and india bus service connecting two capital Delhi and Kathmandu Nepal. Kathmandu to Delhi bus opearating since 2001, however is the popular after Indian prime minister flagged off the bus service at the time of the SAARC summit in Kathmandu Nepal. Kathmandu to Delhi Kathmandu daily bus running. It helps to save your money for the flight ticket and experience the beauties of the land. It helps the Buddhist tour, research tour both Nepal and india.

Amazing, well done and congrats, just simply amazing.
We are researching the best way to design a tiny house and this idea helps connect a few ideas.
Could you provide on the blog, the overall costs please?
I gather after the 60000 outlay for the bus, it would have been 15,000 or so in the end
All the best with the new horns

Wow, this is fantastic and so informative. Just bought an old bus and I am at the ripping the seats out stage. It's very daunting but seeing what you have done has given me so great ideas. Thank you.

So much left to guess at. Where is your land? What is your source of income? If you actually have a large parcel of land why a "composting toilet" rather than a conventional toilet connected to a septic system? Do you actually expect your home to be mobile or a fixed home built from a former vehicle? As a nearly 40 year building contractor/self-employed carpenter I admire your work. Very nice. But what is your motivation? I've been spending my spare time working on our very rundown home since we bought it in 1992. Many structural elements have been rebuilt because they needed to be or because I just felt we'd end up with a superior structure. But, and this is a BIG BUT, we have a conventional house and as such it will be desirable to a greater group of potential buyers if we wish to sell it. I guess that I just don't get it. Nice work but why?

Another by the way comment. Those joints at the ends of the girders for your deck/accessory structure may look good but they are not a strong as a simple post under girder connection with a metal connector such as sold by Simpson Strong Tie https://www.strongtie.com/twopiecepostcaps_postcaps/lce_cap/p/lce
