Bob has always loved buses since he was 8 years old, in particular, Gillig school buses. He’s driven some 350 buses in his life, and now he’s living in his 1977 Gillig that he DIY-ed into a tiny house complete with a full recording studio with toilet vocal booth.
Retired from the schooner industry, he used his boat-building know-how to create a stunning home with self-planed locust wood. He wants to use his later years to enjoy traveling the US and seeing what he didn’t while “having careers” and “raising a family.” Too cool!
Enjoy the video tour from Tiny Home Tours below. Love this build!

I like it. I like the bus, I like the man. And I love a wood stove.
This is one of the coolest builds I’ve seen! An elegant and purposeful design. Hope to see Robert on the road someday so I can here more about the bus and his life and works!
