Reese's On Recess

[Josiahdr]

Been working on the bus the past 3 days.

Got all the holes covered up with fiberglass, painted the floor, painted the stairs with herculiner, and also was able to start my floating floor. Got 1 8ft section completed.

Also started something new with the YouTube channel. We went live!

I was at the bus from 10am-6pm today. I have 95% of the floating floor complete. Sorry its not in this video. I have about 5ish more to go before I get to editing it.

The floating floor kicks ass though. I will try and get a pic up as soon as possible.

I have 90% of the floor complete. First video of quite a few. Still not done editing all of them. Let me know what you think.

looking good! Does the plastic help prevent condensation in the interior when the weather changes?

If you were just building a free floating floor, why the studs? I am going to assume to fasten down things such as walls and cabinets? If so, you may want to add one in between the center and the out side studs because #1 floor compression, you don't want the insulation to break down and sag, and #2 if you haven't laid out your floor plan and have something that needs to be fastened on the off center of the studs, the only thing you have holding it would be plywood and your flooring. Just a thought. Good job so far!

From my understanding it is to prevent moisture from going into the insulation from the metal floor below. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

The studs in the rear are for building a "sunken bed" as well as to secure my fresh water tank. Going forward in the bus I lay them across for support as well as to attach some items to as well.

Nothing will be attached only to the floor. Most Items will also be attached to studs that will be going along the wall. (that is the plan at at least lol)

Thanks Doc

Going to be putting t&g flooring down most likely as the actual floor. Originally I had planned to use a vinyl like this one.

Also going to be doing a t&g bamboo ceiling.

Got the 3rd video up on the floating floor.

Framing members layed flat on a floor are called sleepers. Studs are vertical framing member in a wall.

Nice job by the way. I plan on much the same process in my floor.

Very nice. You guys are doing great. I wish my build would go as fast as your videos on fast forward lol. Question for you. On your windows did that chemical work good that you used to clean out the old seal? I'm at that stage now. My windows have a foam strip on upper part of window and sealer on the bottom and if lucky only one side of window got sealer. Oh and how many tubes of sealer did you go through?

Thanks and love the videos!

Thank you! Glad you like the videos HAHA I wish it actually went that fast in real life as well.

Yes the acetone worked great for cleaning the residue. I plan to use it to clean the adhesive left from the reflector stickers as well.

I used about 5-6 tubes of the sealer. I went a little over board on it just to be on the safe side. No water has leaked through at all. But I would say one tube last about 1.5-2 windows.


Did a live stream from the bus earlier.
