This weekend was a busy one! I built the walls for the bathroom and closet.
The above photo is the back side of the bathroom. I was going to make it into shelves, but I may install my Power components in this space, its centralized to the rig, and I can access it easily…more news on the Solar setup coming below.
I also purchased my sink fixtures and installed them.
I ordered an Inverter/Charger, an MPPT solar charger, a lithium battery and some solar panels, cables, and mounts. I also picked up a crimping tool and an assortment of connectors for when I build out the power setup. I still need several devices and items and wire. Slowly getting what I need as the wallet can handle it. Below is a video of the progress I had earlier in the week, I trimmed the ceilings and cut a wall board using my new tool for getting the curvature right…the tool is neat but not quite big enough to be useful.
As the weekend rolled in I built out the rest of the walls for the bathroom and closets.
After finishing the walls I was ready to not lift plywood for a hot minute, so I picked up a paintbrush and decided to stain my countertops and prime the walls and cabinets.
Above photos are from Saturday. I wrapped up a lot of the priming and staining on Sunday.
Saturday night I made my big purchase.
I got a second coat of stain on the countertops and I sanded down the problem area around the sink where I had gotten silicon on the counter and the stain wasn’t adhearing to the wood properly.
above video was a SummaryIt of where I was at on Saturday night.
And with that I am likely done for the weekend, I’ll be spending time with the family tomorrow, if I have time I might frame out the shelves for the closets backside on the passenger side of the bus. The drivers side I am keeping open for now and might just add a shelf at the top to leave the rest open for utility closet.
