In the process of finishing up the passenger side of the interior, I need to insulate the walls. Before I do that, I pulled the last wiring through the wall cavities.

Storage Boxes & Desk Seat
I fill-in most of the storage boxes in the ‘garage’ of my van. They are all open boxes with inter-locking bottoms, except for the top box, which receives a top lid. This Formica-finished top lid has three functions: as a top lid of course, as an extension of the kitchen countertop and as a worktop… Continue reading Storage Boxes & Desk Seat
Webasto Gas Heater – Part II
Installation of the fuel pump, Rheostat and wire run. After unpacking the Webasto Gas Heater, I continue building the upper cabinet, including the Rheostat installation.

Finally, the fuel pump is… Continue reading Webasto Gas Heater – Part II

Meanwhile, I will take all the closet parts down again, put finishes and Formica where they have to go, work on the electric… Continue reading Building A Pantry
