I requested that Joseph make a priority of getting the two armoires in place in the bus, as they've been in my studio where the largest house plants sit, when they come in for the cold weather. I begin bringing the more tropical plants in, like the lemons and avocado, when the lows dip below 50. We're already getting lows in the 50's, so it probably won't be long. We got the first two ceiling panels hung in the skoolie, which you can see above. We chose to use maple plywood for the ceiling.
He then put up the bedroom partition wall, and the wall behind the armoires. We've chosen beadboard for the walls. The two armoires will fill in the space on the left, between the wall partition and the door. They'll need to be cut out on the back and bottom to accommodate the wheel well and the power supply.
Joseph has been looking for a fridge for a while now. He had actually ordered a new one on Walmart a couple of months ago, which was a great deal, but then received a message they were unable to fulfill the order🙄. He found this one on FB Marketplace. It had been used only 8 months, and was $225, though she paid $470 earlier this year. It's 10 cu ft., which we're hoping will be large enough for us, and all our produce. He gave up on the gifted Sunfrost fridge, as it would take more money than he already has in it to get it running, and it's really too large for our space as well. The black fridge matches our sink. The RV stove is off-white, so we may end up painting it to match. We're rolling right along.

You're not kidding, you are rolling right along! What a fun project (although I'm sure it's a lot of work).
Now that the armoires are in (as of yesterday), I've asked him to step back, and focus on a few other things right now, like our fall garden and roof repair. I expect he'll be back at it as soon as he can, though!
Do you anticipate being able to use it next year? It's looking so nice!
We initially were thinking two years, but he recently said he thought next year. I guess we'll see!
Wow! Even if it's not fully done, you could maybe take it for a test run.
We're definitely planning on taking a couple test runs, before we do anything too adventurous!
