We got out of the house!!

We have been getting stir crazy staying home because of the Covid-19 restrictions.  We had to get out of the house so we took the bus for a drive along the ocean.  It was like we were on a mini 15 minute vacation!


It was great to feel the ocean breeze and marvel at the blue water! 


Kids got to enjoy the view from their bunk beds for a few minutes!




We may have to start doing this every weekend until we can start going on adventures again!

Kitchen Pantry!

Image
Today’s project was building a pantry! Since we have a mid size bus space is very valuable and we have to take advantage of every square inch.  This is a 7 in wide pantry but it will fit a lot of stuff! Here is a video of Brent and I framing it out. We then put sides on each shelf so that things don’t fall off the shelf.  The hard part was lining up the drawer rails since there was 4 of them.  I got it in there perfect!! I’m so happy with it!! Just need a front cover to make it look pretty and a handle to pull it out.  Also note the great job did on framing in the fridge! On top of the fridge will be a convection/toaster over.  On top of the pantry will be an extra storage space.

Building the couch

Image
The first thing we decided to build is the couch.  We are going to start building out from the front of the bus towards the back.  First up is framing out the couch. Then adding the plywood We then put trim on the outside to finish it off nicely. The next day we made the lids and painted! I still want to make the paint more rustic looking so may add some color and sand some spots!  I’m so happy with how it turned out.  I love that we have all this storage. Now I have to figure out how to make the cushions for the couch.  Next we will be making the kids bunk beds! BTW- we have not anchored anything down yet since we still have to frame and insulate the walls.  Waiting until we finish framing everything so we can plan the electrical and plumbing before we put walls up. Update: I didn’t like the paint job so I redid it.  So much better!
