Part 5: Inside construction
8 March - 19 March 2011
The Truck in my area beside the Spree
Finally got the left side walls all finished
Im building a table that will fold out of the wall which is going to be mounted in the wall beside the bed.
Here I am building the table that will sit in the wall and Im about to put the styrodur insulation inside it

This is the wall
Painting the table with boats varnish
The wall is now mounted with the cut out for the table to fit in
The varnished cut out and the plug holder
The right side walls almost all in!
The bed table is in and works well
Building the bed with Hemp insulation between the bed and the storage space under it
Bed area almost finished
Ive
built a small table holder for the meantime until I have time to build
the small storage bin that will run down beside the bed and will have
the table holder incorporated into it.
Bed is in and already using the wall table
Building the kitchen and designing where the sink and taps are going to be placed
Finally
I have the hot and cold water connected and working without leaks. The
bench has now been oiled and an extra piece of bench epoxyed behind the
stove. Here I must add some metal as a fire guard
I
have the water pipes going high over the door to keep them warm in
winter. This will later all get hidden as I build shelves over this
area. I used the copper pipe as it looks nicer than the plastic pipe.
I mounted them also so that I the water will flow out when I open the
winter drain valve and the kitchen tap. After opening both tap and valve
I have no water left in the system to freeze.
Experience taught me not to hide these in the walls but run them down the back of the shower wall so the House heat kept them warm.
I had to rebuild it in the middle of winter when the hidden pipes all froze!
