Build the bus
 
 
There are more outlets, wires, circuits and fuseboxes in the bus than in my house. It’s going well, but it’s tedious. And the upholstering is almost complete in “Karl’s Upholstery Workshoppe” Complete with its own theme song thanks to Brandon Gross.    
Electricity and Upholstery
Caitlin stops by to help out
As does Brandy
The mamoth Eight foot work bench is upholstered
Two circuit breaker boxes and over 500 feet of wire.
With the help of the bulb from the Fridge, we prove that we have light
The under counter kitchen lights work too.
Aren’t they cute.
Karl in a crawlspace drilling holes
Even mounting electrical boxes
Brandon is always a huge help

He’s done it, and after a little adjustment from Karl, it’s ready.

Oh, here it is.
Back in the upholstery shoppe
Maddie kitten keeps watch
Clean the dust off and she’s good to go
Feels pretty good
The sides are a detail that can wait
Evan digs it too.
Now, what was wrong with this?
Ok, it was a wiring issue
All done. Power, light and vent to each bunk.
And we ran out of steam at like 2 in the morning with only ONE back to do.
