It's been a couple days since I've written, so there is a lot to catch up on. First, Dave and Gary took off the back bumper and welded on a new extended bumper which will hold the generator:
We finished painting the walls and the floor with the insulating paint:
We got the wood and insulation to line the floor and ceiling:
We got the whole floor installed:
It's hard to see in the picture, but i painted a smily face on Dave's back. Now he has a tan line from it. :)
Oh, and we couldn't have made it through the day with out a couple injuries:
Dave's been getting a lot of the technical aspects figured out for the truck/mobile office. I'll have to have him explain those in a little better detail since most of it is still a little over my head. We've got most everything we need as far as power is concerned: 7000 watt generator, batteries, inverter, etc, etc. Over the past few days Dave got the rest of the framing and the floor out of the truck and we started painting the walls with the insulating paint. To provide further insulation, as well as sound protection, we've also got plywood and some thin insulation. We will only lose about an inch on either side with this method, as opposed to the original framing and insulation which took almost a full 4 inches off either side.
Dave's been making a lot of progress getting everything taken out of the (still nameless) truck. Now that most everything is out we have a lot more space to work with. We're in the process of rounding up supplies and trying to figure out the most efficient way to set everything up. We found this insulating paint we are going to use to save space rather than using regular insulation.
I guess I'll just keep this short and just post the pictures.
We are two sponteneous and adventurous entreprenuers on a journey to create freedom for us - we're building our company and our mobile office to combine what we love with what makes us money.
