That's looking good. Getting the foam in has a certain sense of completion.

What a great job that appears to be. You gotta be pleased. Not sure why, but I was expecting a much bigger mess.

Sorry for the delayed response...it was 1500 for 2 inches on walls and celling.

Started putting in the ceiling. Should be done this week. This is where I start cursing have such a big bus.

I saw in your latest video that you had little recessed lights. I was looking at those on Amazon. I couldn't really tell off of any specs how much light they put out. Any ideas? I don't know if they will work to light the whole cabin or if they are to direct and would be better used as a spot light like over the kitchen counter or dinet, but would need more light for ambient light.

I am not sure how bright they will be either. I am just taking a chance on them. I do not have my battery set up yet so I have yet to turn them on and test them.

I bought a 50 pack of wired led's from Amazon to try to use them as interior lighting. I just received them today. Testing begins.

more progress.

Finished the celling.




Also made a cabinet over the bed.

Don't curse the bus.... Embrace it! It looks freaking awesome!!!! You'll be pleased when it's done! Knotty pine made me salivate, but I'm weird.

[Robin97396]

That looks pretty remarkable.

Your co-worker looks happy about it too.

[Justin McCormick]

Full steam ahead! The bedroom wall is now done. Wired in the light switch and the speakers. I am using cedar fence pickets for most of the wood.

[EastCoastCB]

Dang, you move fast!
The work looks GREAT. Coming along VERY nicely man!
Keep the great pics coming, too.

[Robin97396]

I love all that wood on the ceiling and walls. I know, I'm supposed to be over that by now. The instant hot water heater and phone charger are cool too.

[Phatman]

You go Texas Boy !! you're doin' some fine work there man !!! You're making the rest of us look bad. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!!

[1olfart]

The mild spring Houston weather (maybe not this last week or so) has really worked for you, and your helpers. I can't wait to see you bus in person.

[Justin McCormick]

Got the fridge installed. Just need to connect the power and gas.

[Robin97396]

Nice work. Isn't there supposed to be a beer tap on the door of the fridge?
