This is a conversation about a family coming together after a tragic accident and the DIY. Alex became a diesel mechanic in order to learn how to work on the bus that she converted and then ultimately went on to convert a skoolie that had special features for her brother who was the victim of an accident that left him a quadriplegic. It\\u2019s an incredibly uplifting story and a fascinating look at how tiny houses can solve so many unique problems.
