It's really taking shape

Hello friends,

I think we are running on schedule...not that we really have one but we do have a deadline for being ready to travel - October.

So this week Adrian has been working hard, getting more of the walls sheeted and building the bunk beds.

For the front of the bunks we used a sheet of 17mm plywood and drew the design on, then Adrian cut it out with the jigsaw and used the router to round the edges. I really love this part of the bus! Now I am trying to decide if I stain it or paint it.

He put the wall sheets in around the dinner table and it looks so neat and clean now!

This is one of the bedroom windows completely installed.

Starting to look like a home on wheels.

Please feel free to leave a comment, we would love to know if anyone is reading this.

Bye for now, Jess

What's next?

Hi,

So it has been a while since we blogged our progress on the bus conversion. A lot has been happening, although to most people it looks like not much at all :)

Testing to see if the bathroom door fits

Adrian has finished the frame work for the bathroom and fridge. And he has welded up the rectangle frames for the bunk beds, these will be held in place by the plywood walls.

The frames for the bunk beds

The floor has been replaced in the back half of the bus. And insulation has been put in the walls and ceiling, we have used styrofoam sheets and can already feel the difference. I will take pics of this before the finishing sheets go on.

Testing a wall sheet to see if it curves around the wall

Last week we picked up the plywood sheets for finishing the walls and ceiling. We also picked up alloy strips for finishing edges along the ceiling.

Getting an idea of what the ceiling will look like

There is lots happening and the push is on to have her ready for our first big trip in October!

Bye for now, Adrian and Jess
