Looking good!

What are your plans for the plywood lip "as seen in pic?" behind the drivers area?

I dont know but you can tell me if you know.

Actually, I didnt want to have to walk in and have it look like you had to climb a wall to go to the back of the bus. I will make a "graduated" transition from the one piece to the next. So far its pretty hand for holding things. LOL! That was just how the plywood worked out and what I came up with at the moment. Maybe that will be where I eventually put a front wall?

I also had planned on cutting out a cover for the fuel sending unit until I thought that it would create a spongy spot in a high traffic area. I have it marked well and it will be an easy cut should I ever need to access it. I do have a plate that goes over it, but the rise would be aggravating to me everytime I walked over it.

Putting the floor in was difficult due to the amount of heaters. I thought it would have been easier. Then again I did most of it myself, with some help from my wife a couple days.

I am not going to insulate around the drivers seat. Not sure what I will put there. I didnt want to have the floor above the pedals or have the seat look too high. The stair well will probably be bed liner [Rhino liner like]. We have a lot of dirt, snow, mud, etc here. When I drove school bus I remember how bad the stairs would always be. Now they will be sealed and I wont have to worry about rust getting in there. Yeah, I know, it will stink for a while....

Walls all insulated. Going to service it tomorrow. Wow, I actually get to drive it again.

Took it to get serviced this morning. The "bus nut" mechanic was quite impressed with it....actually very impressed. Changed oil, filter, lubed it and good to go! I found a bonus too....a retarder. Amazing the things you find with all the knobs and buttons!

Roll on bed liner done.

Great progress. Curious, why the space behind the driver's seat and the wall? Whatsa going in there?

 

[opus-SKO]

Nothing really. I wanted a place to hang a tv, etc. I've spent too much time in an Entertainer. I like to be able to see everything. It would have also split a window in half, which would drive me nuts. Also, I want to be able to pull a window if I had to without un-building everything. Maybe a curtain or something. Not really sure, just building it as I go. LOL!
