Bus Progress - Bathroom!

Michael took time off after Thanksgiving and we have been progressing so much in the bus!

Check out our shower!

On the left of the shower opening, you see 3 skinny rectangles that go up the wall.  Those are niches for LED lights that my friend Lizette gave us over 1 1/2 years ago!


These lights will give us some illumination in our shower.  This was a much easier installation that trying to affix a light above our heads on the curved ceiling.  

We had to put the toilet seat back into place to figure out the walls and door opening.  Notice that the shower now has this faux tile board on it.  Michael likes it, but I think it looks cheesy because of the repeated texture that is stamped on so regularly (i.e. without any variation).  I can live with cheesy, however because it's cheaper than the real thing and much less heavy.




Here are the  light niches with an acrylic panel over them.  We'll put another tileboard on top of it to make it all coherent.  You may notice two black circles on the right side where the white tiles are.  That's where our mounting hardware for our showerhead will go. 


The bathroom space is starting to take on more shape!







We were trying to figure out how high the sink should go.  That is actually just a stainless steel bowl from Whole Foods.  The smallest bowl they have out there in the construction industry is 8".  Ours is 6" and we're just going to cut a hole at the bottom.  








Tada!


Let's look at the back bedroom, which Michael refers to as the Stateroom.  



We put up the overhead cabinet bottoms and face frames. We came across a tricky area towards the back where the ceiling starts to dip down.  Michael followed the curve by trimming the top stile.


Later on we'll install more LED lights to illuminate the ceiling and thus the room.


What do you think?!?
