Funny Memories
One thing is for sure – transforming this school bus was one of the most memorable experiences that Talley will ever have. It seemed like every aspect of the process was full of funny memories, like this one. “The one picture of me actually working on the bus,” he said. “Fun fact, while spraying insulation I got a bunch in my beard and didn’t noticed until an hour or so later, and had to shave the whole thing off.”
The Little Things In Life
Although Michael Talley made a lot of sacrifices to get the fantasy home he wanted, this didn’t stop him from kicking back from time to time, sitting on the roof and drinking some wine as he watched the sunset. “Before the roof raise I moved the bus to a friend’s farm in Manor, TX for $0 a month,” he said. “I would regularly go sit on the roof of the bus and drink some wine and watch the sunset over the Texas farmlands.”
Into The Wild
Talley’s months of time and effort have culminated in one can only be described as the ultimate camping home. With a bedroom that has a beautiful view of the forest, Talley has achieved what he set when he first purchased this school bus – to feel at home. Being able to stare out into the wild and hear all the beautiful sounds must be absolutely enchanting. One thing is for sure though, he might want to invest in some curtains at some point…
Nice Paint Job
After a lot of hard work, Michael Talley can look back at his new home with a lot of pride, knowing that it originally looked completely different. The Armadillo school bus is now a luxury home with a stunning white paint job. “Painted with Rustoleum,” he said. “White is best for the heat here in Texas and leaves me open to adding colors down the road. I also couldn’t think of what colors would go with my wood interiors.
