My Little Helper and the Floor!

As I stated in a previous post, we decided to go with 2x2 for the subfloor and 15/32 for the plywood layer. We don't have much by way of insulation, so we decided to use the pink foam board ... it will add only R5 but it's something. We purchased it at Home Depot for about $20 a board and bought 6 of them, including 6 styrofoam boards with silver HVAC backing. Those ran about $12 a board.

While Daddy 💕 and I were getting to work on the floor our daughter, Katilyn, and grandson, Garet, showed up. It was a warm day so his Momma had him in his diaper 😂 They both helped out tremendously! Little Buddy held on to the marker and tape measure!

While Daddy 💕 was cutting the wood down to size, me and daughter were setting them in place. We screwed the outside down and plan to toenail the cross rungs.

Supplies Purchased:
  • 50 2x2
  • 12 insulation boards
  • 10 2x4
  • Liquid Nails
  • Wood to metal screws 2 1/2"
  • a new exacto knife
We decided to go across the width of the bus versus the length so that we wouldn't have to keep butting up wood pieces. We cut off about 4" and they fit across the bus perfectly! We were going to use  Liquid Nails but it would not stick to the Flex Seal ... like not even close! So we ended up using the wood to metal screws on the outside pieces and will probably use brads to toenail the rest. We got a lot done; Freedom is starting to take shape!!


Happy RV'ing!!

Pony Wall Update, First Coat of Paint

We eventually moved Freedom into the barn, to just make sure she didn't get rained on. This got me out of the sun and more able to work....
