the purchasing

We have $7,000 USD to work with. We estimated $600 for solar power, $400 for plumbing a rain catchment system, and $1000 for interior redecorating. That left us with an upper limit of $5000 to spend on the actual bus.
We exhaustively searched a wide swathe of craigslist postings via SearchTempest. We looked at bus after bus until we settled on a 1990 GMC school bus located 3 hours away from our landing site. A deal was struck, and we found ourselves with a $4200 work-in-progress project.

Not a bad start, but still needs a lot of work! Mostly everything pictured is non-functional.
