Just a few shots of where things stand. Up next is painting the outside and tackling the plumbing.
A shout out to the folks who've taken a turn at the wheel. If you know who let bozo drive, please enlighten us. ...But first, we had to frame the shower walls. Seemed like it should be an easy enough task, but alas... First off, like good do-it-yourselfers, we thought we'd use a level to ensure straight walls. Turns out the bus itself isn't level, so that idea went out one of 22 windows. Next, we were short on fixed structures to which we could attach the frame, as we couldn't very well drill into the roof (natural shower anyone?). These problems meant the possibility of having a wobbly, off-kilter shower...which is exactly what happened the first couple of attempts. Finally we used the emergency exit (soon to be skylight) steel frame as one fixed point, and the bus walls as the other, and with a little old fashioned math (yikes) we were able to finally get it right. We disconnected the electric, pulled out the sofa boxes and the kitchen cabinet, and Courtney gave everything a nice coat of clean white paint. We put hinges on the sofas, and I sort of built the bed (although we're going to have a new and improved version of the bed before long.)
