The Skoolie is Enclosed

 

This week, Joseph got the last of the sheet metal hung, so the bus is now entirely enclosed again.

The driver's side, with Guinness photobombing.  Joseph soon wants to prime the metal, to keep it from rusting.  The actual painting will happen towards the end of the build.

On the left is the small washing machine mentioned in the last post, with it's rolling dolly alongside.  A Dr. not far away died, and his family was gutting his office.  They listed the cabinets on Marketplace, free if you removed them, and Joseph took them up on the offer.  They're very simple, with solid wood doors, but otherwise particle board.  We think they'll serve our purposes well.  

In another Marketplace find, Joseph found this marble.  A nurse had it, who worked at a hospital I worked at 20 years ago.  Maintenance was tearing out the marble from a bathroom in the hospital, and offered it to her.  Otherwise, they were sending it to the landfill.  She brought it home, but never used it, and sold it to us for $75.  There are two large pieces, enough to do the shower floor, vanity countertop and some back splashes.  As I'm typing, he's gone to pick up doors for the storage boxes that will go along the bottom of the bus.  You guessed it... another Marketplace deal.
