The first step for my shop
Frank S:
Years ago I acquired a school bus, which I was going to use as storage or a green house or chicken coup but never did anything with it other than put some junk in it. I decided that it could be put to a better use so I pulled the body off of the chassis and put it on top of the container in my shop. No it will become a combination office and work area for those small tedious projects as well as storage for things that really don't need to be occupying valuable shop floor space
SparWeb:
Years ago I worked beside a shop that built custom staircases, usually for wealthy people's houses. Every once in a while a customer wouldn't pay (not all as rich as they thought they were) and the staircase would be dumped in the alley behind their shop. It was always fun to look through the big stack, sometimes up to a dozen unused staircases of all sizes and shapes (including some spirals). One of those would be perfect for your bus door entrance, Frank.

It would save me having to build one.
What I will probably make will be a mid landing 180 turn back
Frank S:
Started dragging out materials to chain down on the bus chassis to be the base for a rolling scaffold
but first I took down most of the scaffold on the south side. We didn't get back from town until noon so not much day left at that point.

Hi
I was building a stable block and collected a load of 2 by 3 by 15ft beams on the top of my Peugeot 504 estate, I constructed a frame for the rear and front to keep the weight off the roof. Add a load of 4 by 8 plywood sheets in the back and I have never driven anything so unstable in my life. Coming up a steep hill with a bend half way up also meant the steering was unpleasantly light. A journey which should have taken less than 10 minutes took something over half hour.
I collected the rest of the plywood I needed but paid delivery on the rest of the beams.
Brian.
