Dad And Son Convert Old 90’s School Bus Into A Tiny Dream Home
Patrick Schmidt was unemployed and living in California when a used 1990 school bus changed his life. Schmidt, who goes by Skoolielove, bought the vehicle for 4,500 USD in March and then spent three months and 9,000 USD on the bus conversion process, turning it into a house on wheels with his dad; then Schmidt left for a 10,000 mile journey to Florida.
“My plans are to stay in Florida until March, living in my tiny home, then most likely find my way back slowly to Vegas, and up to Seattle to live again for a while,” Schmidt told Metro UK. “Find some land to park on. That’s kind of the life on the road I’ve imagined for myself. Ride around, travel, live the van life, find temporary work, and see where to go from there.”
