How would you put up walls on a school bus? No, really! How would you? 2x4's and sheet rock take up too much precious room. And do you really want to put a hole all the way through the outer shell of the bus? Dilemmas.
We opted for braces through the inner skin of the bus walls. We made a pretty awesome team - I held the wall in place while Joshua drilled. It's pretty challenging to cut wooden doors at the curve found on the roof of a bus. I made a paper pattern to trace onto the doors (otherwise known as walls) for cutting and for the most part we were happy with the results. It's not a perfect fit, but - hey, it's a school bus! We've accepted that sound will travel from one end of the bus to the other and that we will always be in the same space with each other.
At the end of the weekend, this was the view from the sink side towards the back of the bus. Our shower will be inside the metal bucket and you can see the beginnings of the bed frame.
From the refrigerator side towards the back, our closet rod is installed. We will have shelving under the clothing and under the bed.
This view is from the back of the bus looking through to the front. I'm thinking that the door on the right might have been through a fire! But it will get painted soon.
We are pleased with the refrigerator cubby. And take another look at the granite!!!
My sewing workstation (at the front) now has a countertop. I had fun cutting and gluing it in place. Power tools!
