Bus Progress - The Beginning of the Galley

This is an old update written much later, but progress is always appreciated.

On the other side of the kids' bunk beds was space we alotted for the electric distribution panel.  After building out the frame, Michael realized that the space was too narrow to reach the panel.  He decided to move the panel to a more accessible place nearby, but wondered, "What shall we do with this space?"  Since the kids always need space to hide the toys, this skinny area will be theirs.


Michael put a thin coat of epoxy onto the shelves so that they could have a slip and slide feel yet still keep the natural look of wood.  I didn't like it as much as putting linseed oil, so what did Michael do?  He put on an extra thick, second coat of epoxy.  I am here to say it is awesome!  Moreso than just a couple coats of linseed oil!  

We popped the red in the wood by adding a light stain
that turned the boring beige to a resplendent red

A big delivery arrived in early December!  Our refrigerator!  It was a breeze to insert because we picked a small 10.0 cubic foot one and because the delivery guys loaded it into our bus for us.  It felt like such an easy victory when we placed it in its spot.  We also turned it on and left it overnight.  The next morning, the fridge was cool inside and outside there were no puddles on the floor!
