Nice work! That bed looks great.

[BurlKing]

that bed already looks so sweet, itll look amazing when done. i'll bet you wont be able to stop looking at it when completed. lol. you remind me so much of me when i go to home depot, lowes, or wherever. go there kinda knowing what im going to get and then end up seeing something else, getting that and not getting anything you had originally planned to get.

getting ready to start the kitchen, but need to buy a few items which will be incorporated in the kicthen, like stove, chest freezer, and wood burning stove. I already bought at 3.5 cu ft chest freezer and im going to convert it to a fridge. The stove is going to be a Camper Chef oven and cook top combo, and last but not least is the wood burning stove. I was wondering if you guys have any experience with these and what you guys use. We have a small space so we dont need anything to large but just large enough o warm a 25x 8 sq ft home.

The bed looks fantastic!!!

Thanks for the update!

Awesome use of space!

[cadillackid]

love that bed and cabinets!! cool use of underneath outside access space too..

only concern I would have is you covered up your means of egress.. sleeping at the back of the bus, what if a fire broke out in the front..

Roof hatches and fire extinguishers I would assume... Just like me...

[carneiro1292]

hahaha i had to google egress to see what it means... the rear side door will stay accessible, well be able to open and close whenever we want. we r going to cut the rear emergency door in half though, welding the top portion shut and leaving only the garage access avaiable

That's no Egress...that's a Blue Heron!

ok little update. so questions about heat shield. so this is my little kictehn thing. the square pencil mark is where my CUBIC GRIZZLY wood burning stove will be, there will be a little cabinet underneath for wood so it will sit a foot or two from the ground
My question, there is 4 inches of space from the back of the stove to the cement board tht seperates the 5g water containers. question is, is tht enough room to deter the heat or will i be in some trouble? wont get the stove for another week or two and didnt really measuer the space out until after i built everything.

kitchen update, will have the faces installed later today

[1olfart]

I gotta say, THAT is very impressive. Please don't take so long to post more updates.

Great story about your build! I just read all your points and am now up to date. Great work and style!

Couldn't finish a few drawers cause my $1.45 handles from Lowes get breaking(3 in total) got the counter in, should install sink next week.

[carneiro1292]

Also any clue on the heat shield clearance for the wood stove? I read with a proper heat shield 4" is enough, I'm sure u guys have more experience with this. Lmk

Little up date

kitchen Cabinets and drawers are all done. I never want to make a drawer again... EVER. All we have to do is stain and seal, attach sink and install manual foot pump.
this is our secret bathroom couch combo. Our bath tub will hid in the larger section, and our compost toilet in the small one. Just need to add some cushions and stain.
Our cubic mini grizzly stove came in which is super exciting. Now I got a question, will this roof flashing work we have a 3" flu pipe going threw the ceiling. It's just so much cheaper than the other ones I've seen tht I'm worried.

Cabinets look awesome!!!

[Chevydude01]

I love love your hidden bathroom idea!! I wanted to do something similar so I wouldn't have to block any windows but it didn't work out so I framed the room in. Good Job.

Get a good amount of string (kite string g works and is easy to find)
A piece of sponge or a piece of a plastic shopping bag(he used the corner). Tie the string to the sponge/plastic
Fit it in the conduit, snug but not too tight
Use the exhaust side of a shop vac to blow it through.
For a short run pre-measure the string and tie the end you are blowing from to a washer or something heavy enough to not blow away and just load the loose string into the conduit.
I have done this in a conduit in my house from the attic to the basement that already had wires in it. Took a few tries but worked.
