We've started a Pinterest account with some pictures if anyone is interested in taking a look.

Anyway I've gone to the top of the custom residential side of work and love what I do but have been feeling conflicted because of it at the same time. I've spent most of my life working in over the top homes in most cases peoples second or third vacation homes.... I love the custom side of the work I do but at the same time hate feeling like it's unappreciated. I have decided to transition from regular custom construction to specializing in school bus and rv renovations and would like to get into the tiny homes as well. We are currently completing a beach house remodel in Santa Cruz and getting ready to travel to Phoenix for a opportunity to finish a school bus conversion for a family. As far as our rv goes we will be redoing it as we go. We started with converting the bedroom from the regular wasted space to a more workable kids room with two twin beds and a play house and more floor space for our three kids to be more comfortable.
