Subfloor is finished

Found and caulked the leak. It was in a corner of a window. I had appeared to be coming through the Great Stuff, but I now realize it was only coming over it.
With that scare behind us, we finished laying the insulation.

We covered our 1″ polyiso insulation with 3/8″ plywood.

The plywood is attached to the bus with 2″ sheet metal screws. We staggered the sheets of plywood and insulation so the seams are not on top of one another.

And of course, more Great Stuff in the gaps.

Next up is the roof deck. It’s not clear what we’ll be able to do with the weather this week, but we’re waiting until the deck is done before we begin the interior.

    The subfloor looks great. Nice work! I went through many cans of “great stuff” on my interior walls. It’s kinda fun, but you blow through a $4 can too quick. Makes me feel like I’m “makin’ it rain,” but in a more practical way.

    My next step is finally designing my 12v system, and I’m procrastinating on this fine rainy day.

    I can’t wait to see what happens next with your bus. Are you keeping the crazy paint job?

    Man – so much space inside that thing!

      The paint job will stay crazy, but will get refreshed. It needs it badly.

      I’m keeping my 12V system stewing in the back of my mind still, until the solar panels are up and my hand is forced. Some things on my reading list: http://www.marxrv.com/12volt/12volt.htm and http://goo.gl/Gs0IxA. I’ve had trouble finding information on that second subject.
