The original Bonita Girl Bonnie Lass keeps watch on construction progress from the newly framed bathroom shower.

 

Here are the steps to framing, insulating, and sheathing the interior walls.

1. Install 1" X 2" batons to the exterior wall with 1 1/4" screws in pre-drilled holes.

2. Install 1/2" insulation cut to size between the batons. We have opted to black out the last two windows in the bedroom.

 

3. Screw 1/4" sheathing plywood onto batons. This will be a good base for the finish trim. We decided against using sheet rock because it is too flexible and might break under stress.

A fan is a staple of any bus rennovation project.

 

This is the basic framing for the closet. The electric breaker box will be located in the closet. The black lead is the power in cord. It will eventually go through the floor and be accessible from outside the bus ready to plug in to either a generator or RV site electric hook up. We want to research solar panels for the roof as well.

Breaker box detail, there are 3 breaker switches rated at 15 amps each. We plan to have 4 light switches on one circuit; 5 double plugs on the 2nd circuit; and the refrigerator and air conditioner on their own circuit.
