All of the seats are gone! Huzzah. All told, I pocketed a total of $41 in scrap metal recycling from the seat frames. I have most of the floor up. The last couple days have been spent mostly working for money, rather than working on the bus.
With daylight savings time (a scam, i tell you) and the colder weather, getting motivated to work on the bus after a day of work is hard. My friend Brian gave me some LED lights that I’ve put up as some temporary interior lighting. I’ve also got two space heaters in the bus now. Extension cord length has come into play, because I wanted to have both heaters on different breakers.
I’ve ordered a gallon of Corroseal 82331 Water-Based Rust Converter. I’m hoping to have the metal floor prepped and ready to put down insulation and then sub flooring. That will feel like a huge accomplishment to have just a subfloor.
I’ve removed all the dome lights, the speakers, and 95% of the screws holding the wall panels on. The screws that remain will have to be drilled or cut off. I’ve been really impressed by my Black and Decker 20v Lithium Drill. I’ve removed 100’s of screws already with it, and I’ve only charged it once.
look forward to seeing your progress photos in the future…
Should be a real adventure once you have your Skoolie the way you want and you hit the road!… pretty envious already.
