School Bus Garage
 ✖  |
When Lloyd Siemonsma, Sioux Falls, S. Dak., was offered the chance to get a used school bus body for free if he would take it off the chassis, he started thinking of ways he could use it. He decided to turn it into an extra garage.
The truck salvage company he got it from wanted to get the bus body off so they could put a box on the chassis. Siemonsma cut off the body just behind the windshield and cut the sides off just below the floor line. He added a piece of 2 by 2-in. angle iron to the front edge of the cut floor at the opening to take the weight of heavy equipment going over the edge into the bus garage.
A canvas curtain with a heavy-duty industrial zipper can be used to close off the opening to keep out blowing snow.
Siemonsma uses the bus garage to house his 4-wheeler and a skid steer loader. He likes it because the windows let in light during daylight hours and the rear door can be used to bring in supplies when the front area is blocked or the curtain closed.
