The Errorington's: a chronicle of adventure in Modern North America
Sarah, Austin and Charlie take on the World
So we bought a school bus, quit our jobs and decided to live a life on the road. We're six days into our exciting new experiment and so far, its amazing. Highway 98 heading into Apalachicola, FL. This was an idyllic way to spend our first full day on the road. We've spent the last … Continue reading We Hit the Road: Life Rent-Free and Temporarily Retired
One year and a month. And she's still not quite ready to get those 8,000 Instagram likes I was shooting for. But she does make cold water hot, make warm drinks cold, keep the rain off our heads and drive. And we are about to do a lot of the later. Our time in Florida … Continue reading Good Enough.
I have learned something about myself over the last six months, I am a horrible multi-tasker. As it turns out, I'm pretty bad at working full-time, maintaining a relationship, being a dog dad, converting a school bus to a tiny home and maintaining blog. For those of you that follow my Instagram page (capt_arrington), you'll … Continue reading The worst bloggers ever
WOOF. What a month. Where do I begin? The entire world has been turned on its head and everyone is just trying to make the best of a bad situation. We are no different. Three weeks ago, I had a rather rosy new blog post almost ready to roll out: Sarah and I had just … Continue reading Big changes, a dose of humility and a whole lot of gratitude
Hi everyone! I've been taking a break from blogging these last few weeks to concentrate on getting the bus polished up, prepped for paint, going through mechanical issues, ordering parts and of course, working my full time job to pay for this whole project. "Balance" is definitely the operative word when it comes to a … Continue reading Little Advances in A Big Campaign
It's been a busy week for us; Sarah's been working full time at Winn-Dixie (her grocery store) and cheering me on while I grind, drill, cut, caulk, fiddle and generally work on the bus (and cruise Amazon for the next cool part to buy for the bus). I have also gone back to my Captain … Continue reading Generator mounted and Bus Body ready for Insulation!
Our generator sits happily on it's slides on it's new cradle. Bus mount for the whole assembly lays behind it. I'm not a welder and have never even turned on a MIG welder prior to this week. I did watch a bunch of YouTube videos, read several articles and have watched curiously over the last … Continue reading Generator Mount nearly complete!
My new office: the 72' gaff-rigged, traditional Schooner FREEDOM at it's home in St. Augustine, FL. As I mentioned in my last post Sarah and I recently went back to work on the bus after a two and a half week break for Christmas and New Years. What I didn't mention is that we actually … Continue reading Some Windows, a Generator Mount and a Boat
I scraped, grinded, scrubbed, primed and painted our ugly floor! Then I tracked mud all over it. Christmas time and the winter holidays are one of the most beloved times of the year. It's also a great time to become financially overextended and to bring a screeching halt to your most exciting personal projects (i.e.: … Continue reading Where did you go? A holiday lull and Sarah and Austin go back to work
Up until this point, our bus build has been one enormous demolition project. My daily routine has been as follows: show up to the bus, open windows, crank up the generator, put on some loud, fast crossfit-esque music on our Bluetooth speaker, break out the pry bar, grinder, sledge hammer, skill saw, etc. and DESTROY. … Continue reading Rounding the Corner (Almost): We start putting stuff back in!
