I returned to Spartanburg last weekend to finish up a few more projects. Below are the two bench seats at the front of the bus. Currently I had no place for visitors to sit when they visited me, besides my bed, so I completed these seats. I plan to put decorative pillows over them for comfort. There is storage underneath.
This one is 3/4in Plywood, stained and polyurethaned.
This one was made with tongue in groove heart of pine. Also given the stain/polyurethane treatment.
I decided to go ahead and change the oil in the bus since I don't know when the last time it was done. The engine holds 12 qts of 15w-40 oil and uses two oil filters. The previous owners had written the type oil they used on the firewall behind the engine. I changed the brand to Rotella. 
Here is the old oil and empty containers of the new oil. I disposed of the oil by using it as bonfire fuel. I saved one pan of used oil so I could play with it later. I want to try different experiments like wrapping a cloth around a stick then dipping it in the oil to create a torch. I want to see how long it will burn.
It is my great pleasure to visit your website and to enjoy your excellent post here. I like that very much.
