A family, @roamwithbus, decided to buy an old school bus and convert it into their home to save money. It took them many hours to complete it.
They started working after paying $4,500 (N2,009,835) for the vehicle. The family’s mother stated that they spent $1,250 (N558,287.50) on outside materials such as paints.
They paid $3,732 for lumber and countertops (N1,666,823.16). $8,106 was spent on electricity and appliances (N3,620,382.78). They had to pay $1,342 (N599,377.46) for plumbing services.
They spent $2,125 (N949,088.75) to cool down the bus’s interior, bringing their total conversion cost to $21,055. (N9,403,794.65). The woman claimed that he was inexpensive in comparison to their annual rent of $22,500 (N10,049,175).
@roamwithbus The number one question we have been asked about skoolie life is ‘how much does it cost to convert a bus”. Heres the thing you should know. Every bus build is different. You can spend as much or as little time and money as you want. The great thing about building a home from scratch is that the amount you invest is entirely up to you. Bus: $4500 Outside materials: $1250 Lumber/ counters: $3732 Electrical/ appliances: $8106 Plumbing: $1342 Interior materials: $2125 Having a Home on Wheels… PRICELESS (k, I couldn’t help myself) GRAND TOTAL: $21,055 #buslife #budgeting #skoolieconversion #schoolbustransformation #buslifeadventure #homeiswhereyouparkit
