A Bed Frame & The Kitchen Is Coming Along

 

There's been some good progress made on the skoolie, since my last post.  Joseph had some scrap expanded metal in his pile, and used that for the bed frame.  We'd read that moisture can be an issue for mattresses in RV's, and this should help, by allowing it to breathe.  Below will be used for storage, but it should still be more breathable than plywood, which is what most folks use.  

He closed in the remainder of what used to be the original door.  The metal is what had covered the inside walls, and was recycled for this purpose.  It will be painted.

Cabinet frames went in, over the stove, counter and sink area.  Track lighting went in.  The range hood I picked up via FB Marketplace was too large for the space.  It just happened that all the workings of it were on one side, so Joseph cut it down to RV size.

Cabinet frames went in on the passenger side, over what will be our dining area.  We wanted to be sure to have a great view outdoors, while we were eating.

Lastly, we figured out what we needed spacewise for our dinette, and he began framing it out.  He'll be insulating, then building a platform over the wheel well, so it will be a step up to the dinette.  Storage drawers will go beneath.   I asked that the dinette be large enough to accommodate another two friends or family, and this should accomplish that.
