Rear bed framing

So today we went up to the bus and thankfully, the paint was dry! So we loaded the 2x4's we had into the bus and started framing the rear bed.

So we figured that we would go with a Full sized bed to give us 6 precious inches of space for the shower and toilet versus a Queen bed and a 20in by 20in shower. Now I'm all about saving space, but not being able to wash all of yourself because of walls being too close..... that's not good! So we decided to loose some bed space for shower space.

These are the supports for our bed frame going in. We want some storage under the bed, but we also want cabinets over the head/foot of the bed for our clothes. We were going to have the bed at a height of 17inches to fit storage totes underneath. The problem with those is having to dig down to the bottom of them to find whatever it was you went in there after! With smaller totes you can spend less time digging!

We started running out of 2x4's (man they go quick!) so we put in the supports for the toilet room and shower with the last 2 we had. There will be walls to partition off the bedroom from the toilet/shower from the 2x4 to the outside wall. We will get more work done on Monday, since we like to keep Sunday as a day to worship the Lord, not do any work, and have a day of rest and relaxation. We have plenty of time the other days to work.

The way the bed is sitting, we can access stuff under the bed from the back door and it's set up so we can grab our hiking packs from there. We can also still use it as an emergency exit.

Well that was all for today, see y'all next time!
