Got started on insulation today. It will probably take a few evenings to get it right. I like how it turns the cabin into a snow globe.
Month: October 2014
Insulation: foamy boards
I’m picking up 45 panels of this stuff today, exciting. Add to that some plywood panels for the floor above the insulation, and a bunch of 1″ thick boards for walls. I was thinking 1/2″ ply. Oh yeah, I probably will run 2×4’s along the floor to support the plywood and prevent crushing of the […]

Then eventually a few windows.For example, I plan on adding significant solar capability to the vehicle in the […]
