13. Kitchen carcasses, Wood heater & Drawers



27th May - Flood lights hooked up. These are also LED.
I had to spend a bit of time getting all the walls level/square etc. All the walls in the rear section are finished and the wall mounted light in the lounge area has been connected.
29th May - These kitchen carcasses came up second hand and will suit the layout very well. 
30th May - Emma (13 weeks pregnant with our second) punching the floor nails in. My parents had some left over tiles from their bathroom reno which we will use on the heater platform.
Heater platform in. I put a piece of Magnesium Oxide sheet on the wall next to the heater. This is like cement sheet and we plan to cover this in some pressed tin. 
These Hettich drawer runners came up on special from $45 down to $10 a pair. So i bought 47 pairs to do the entire bus! Bargain!
The drawers going in to the wardrobes.

12. Bathroom, Toilet & Bedroom areas


3rd May - This shows the tedious task of making true/plumb/level walls for the shower. For the back wall I needed to make up these interesting shaped studs to go against the bow-shaped wall. Now that the bus is level i can actually use a level.
May 5th - Severe winds crumpled my outdoor workshop. This is the second Gazebo that has been destroyed by weather. I won't be getting another!!!!
The focus will be on the back section, so the front section will be the workshop!
Shower base glued down level
Vanity basin set into bathroom bench
Shower walls clad with Villa board. Below is a walk through video of where the bus is up to as of 13th May 2015.

18th May - Father-in-law varnishing the bed frame. For all the oiling and varnishing we are using products from a company called Livos. Livos manufactures a large range of environmentally sustainable products. Their products are made from natural plant-based materials, contribute no greenhouse emissions, and are free of harmful chemicals.
For the Floor, Ceiling and Trims we are using:
For the walls we will use a white washed:
Rather than adding wooden beading on the joins I used a dark brown 'No More Gaps'. So to make it neat, i taped it up.
Father-in-law glueing on the hardwood ply to the wardrobes.
Shower plumbing in place and I used a 2 pack marine wood sealer on the floor near the shower and the ceiling above. We didn't want to bother with tiles or vinly for a wet area so this will do the trick.
Yet another beautiful sunset.
