We have bunk beds!

We have bunk beds!

 
Brent has been working hard this past week.  He’s had some more time now that we are stuck at home because of the Covid-19 pandemic.  I can’t take any credit for the bunk bed build. 

First he started with framing the walls.



Then bolted in the bunk supports.
Here’s the kids testing it out!



The size is a little narrower than a twin bed so that our hallway won’t be too narrow. I think it will work for them!  I actually found a foam mattress on Amazon for the exact same measurement! Thankfully I don’t have to make anything since I’m still struggling with the couch cushions! My mom has been helping me figure out how much fabric I need! 😬

Great job Brent on the bunk beds!! You’re amazing!



My job lately has been figuring out the plumbing and how we are going to mount a 65 gallon freshwater and 75 gallon gray water tank under the bus!!

Just got this shipment! The tanks!

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!

Subfloor is done! Plywood is down.

Written by Nicole Anderson Brent was available to help me this weekend so he did all the plywood cuts!  Last pieces going in!  We are done with the plywood!!  Next is figuring out the layout of the bus so we can figure out electrical and plumbing before we start framing and insulating the walls.  I’m playing around with the floor plan using cut-out pieces and graph paper!! Once I get it finalized on paper I will tape it out of the plywood to make sure it all makes sense!

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.
