More Beadboard & A Water Tank

 

Though I've not contributed a thing these past two weeks, Joseph has been making steady progress on the skoolie.  It's not the most photogenic progress, but here goes.  All the windows have been framed.  With the curved window corners, he had to get creative, in framing them.  We're both very pleased with how they turned out.  

Almost all of the beadboard has been put up, including in the kitchen.  The spot on the left will be the edge of our couch.

This little closet, looking on from the bedroom, is where the washer, laundry supplies, and hamper will go.

The outside walls of the bathroom are now clad in beadboard.  The inner walls need to wait until plumbing is run.  

Though a fresh water tank was bought, along with many other things, from the RV that was being parted out, it ended up not fitting anywhere, inside or out.  So, being Joseph and his business partner are metal fabricators, they created one that was the largest size that would fit in the space available.  This one gives us 130 gallons for bathing, dishes and laundry.  Joseph thinks he'll make another one, specifically for our drinking water, where we can carry a supply of rainwater from home, which will be run through a Berkey before drinking, same as at home.  We've heard horror stories, and seen testing, from water supplies at some of the RV spots.  Apparently, some folks wash out their black tank hoses, with the water supply line for their (& subsequently, others) site, thereby contaminating the hookup.  Some water that is trucked in to RV park tanks is laden with bacteria, etc.  Even going through a Berkey, we'd prefer to start out with water we trust.  That's the latest.  Thanks for following our project!
