There’s something very satisfying about watching timelapse video of the project taking shape! The last of the insulation was installed over the weekend. We’ve got 50mm polystyrene in the walls, an air gap, then a three-in-one foil insulation stapled into place. Pine battens and 3mm plywood are going on next to complete the walls. We’ve also finished installing exterior vents for the fridge and ‘rangehood’ (a 24v computer fan mounted in the wall), and added the power inlet and access holes for exterior sensor and annex lights. A productive weekend (despite the super hot #Brisbane weather)! ~ Keiran.

Great work! Love watching the updates, keep em coming. Thanks for sharing. @talesfromthewild @keiranlusk @littleearthstories
I’m wondering why we didn’t enlist you to help build the bloody boat!!
@natt_loui Thank you @natt_loui! Stay tuned!
@miaowthecat Probably because it would have taken twice as long with my ‘help’! I’m not known for my precision carpentry skills. Nothing quite lines up with my work, which is fine inside a bus… But on a boat… 🤣
Taking shape, I’m ready lets go.
@mamasullt Sweet! Just wait at your nearest bus stop and we’ll be there as soon as we can! 🤣
@talesfromthewild in my wildest dreams sadly but excited for you guys.
Stay salty!
Going with a clear story huh?! Looks so sick!
She’s coming along nicely. Hows the time going? On track? House on the market yet?
@kittymcfurson Why thank you! We’re seemingly on track but definitely over budget. No plans to put the house on the market until we’re ready to move into bus.
Looking good! That insulation is the bees knees, we got our builder to install it during the house repairs and the difference it’s made to our house is phenomenal!
@the.whitty.one that is excellent to know as we are doing this all via desktop research! I think our bus home is going to be much more climate comfortable than our house home!
@talesfromthewild “looking like a hot one today kids. Quick, on the bus!”
Is it possible to put any insulation in the roof as well? (I’m obviously well versed in bus construction haha )
@the.whitty.one we are planning solar on the roof so figure we can skip the insulation there… also we need the headroom for our tall driver!
@talesfromthewild ah yes, the drivers head is pretty important!!
You guys are putting in one hell of an effort keep up the awesome work. An inspiration for bus ideas here in Vic ☯
