this is a lot of work .. but its really fun!
staining is about done. lastly, adding polyurethane to EVERYTHING!
interior is essentially done!
coming soon in a couple weeks: solar panels to charge these batteries!
and we're back! jason is cutting a HOLE in the roof of the van. this is for the exhaust fan.
i re-sanded the interior to brush off any roughness from the polyurethane layer. you can also see the exhaust fan over the kitchen!
now time for the solar panels! jason is bolting the roof racks together.
and bolting the solar panel's frame to the roof rack ..
and lastly, the solar panels attach to the frame.
alright, i think we're about "done" for now.
finally, we plan to head back to the new to get in some climbing!
