Just to chime in on the 1/8th native issue, I think some people (not all) really feel the loss of that part of their heritage. I'm (some small fraction not worth mentioning), and I genuinely wish more had come down through my family than a few stories and a killer fry bread recipe. My grandmother is the last of the family to grow up in the Ojibwe culture, and was sent to an Indian school as a child. By all accounts it was better than many. She tried to teach some of her language (Algonquin?) To my mother, but in the 50s and 60s in Montana, being native wasn't popular. My mom still regrets that she chose not to learn all she could from her mother, and my grandmother died before I was born, so I didn't have the chance.

I'm not even entirely sure what I'm trying to communicate here, but I guess just that some of us wish we could get back something that was lost by someone else. Sometimes through something as simple as some jesus fry bread, or clinging to the knowledge that somewhere in our DNA we still share something with those we come from.

My husband showed me your website just a few weeks ago. I'll blame you for whatever comes of his love of your bus :P

He really would like to buy a bus, do a bit of a remodel kind of like yours, and spend some time living out of it while working from offices his company has in different cities. My question: what unexpected challenges did you come up against in the building process, and what suggestions would you have for us if we scrape together the cash?
