Framing & Insulating the Skoolie

 


Joseph has been hard at work on the skoolie, installing lots of insulation, and framing out the bedroom, bathroom and beyond.  I had a photo of the bathroom, but it's disappeared, so next time I guess.  He nailed up the cedar accent wall in the bedroom, and placed the headboard.  Between the mattress, and cabinets on the upper wall, less of the cedar will be visible.



You can see the upper framing of the corner of the bathroom, and the insulation he's installed in the center and driver's side ceiling.  He's also insulated and put in almost all the subfloor. 



Our quality control team was on board, to make sure everything was up to snuff.  A friend gave us a Sun Frost fridge, which has been unused for ten years.  When I first began learning about homesteading in the 80's, it was the go-to fridge, being the most efficient, and perfect for off-grid situations.  After connecting two new parts, it's still not working.  Joseph is contacting the company before he gives up on it.  We've decided the layout of the bathroom, and where the stove is going.  It's feeling like good progress is being made.

It looks great Laurie! So exciting!! And that quality control team is a good-looking team and I'm sure quite interested in what's going on. I hope he can get the fridge working, I'm sure it would be a great addition.
