The Skoolie Ceiling Is In

If you follow my IG or read my homesteading blog posts, you'll know we attended a skoolie gathering in VA recently.   It was a chilly, rainy day, but we were welcomed into several skoolies, met some lovely folks, and got a few ideas.  Joseph has continued to work on the electrical portion of the build.  He worked on the front of the bus, putting up beadboard, prepped for cabinets on both sides, and installed the mini split, which will provide our heat and air.  Before he installed it, he coated the beadboard and ceiling around it with clear sealer and polyurethane.

I've been filling rivet holes on the outside, from the roof raise, with metal filler.  Joseph has used over 1400 rivets in the bus so far.  We worked together to finish installing the ceiling panels.  Though we have a long way to go yet, it does look more finished with the ceiling in.

We're using maple plywood for the ceiling, and trim molding will go over all the joints.  I really like the molding we chose.  It seems appropriate for a rig that will be spending so much time in nature.  

Joseph put up the bedroom wall on the left.  This view is from our bed area.  There's a smaller, more local skoolie gathering this weekend, which we may attend.  The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here, and is supposed to continue throughout the weekend.  We hope yours is wonderful!
