Joseph,

Wow! It is looking great. I need to borrow you…we have so many projects that need finishing so we can list our home. ha ha

I agree that things are moving fast and it isn't feeling as though it is moving in a good direction.

I have been busy finding super deals on tolietry items, canned goods. Sometimes making 2 or 3 runs to the store before the ad expired.

Found bottled water in the clear jugs at the dollar store and purchased several. Two blocks from our home they have a vending machine (for now) that you can refill the water for 30 cents. Now I am looking for inexpensive water purification tablets and can't find them in any stores? Any ideas?

Keep up the good work!

Anonymous, you asked about how I vented the toilet and shower. They are not vented. They drain directly into the septic holding tanks, and are hooked up the same way they were when they were installed in the Coachmen motorhome from which they were taken. The holding tanks are vented, however.

There is a vent on the sink which will be installed in the kitchen. It is a small under counter vent that is often used in RVs and even in homes.

Regarding the inside of the bus having condensation from moisture, I will have to wait and see if that is a problem. The bus is double walled, two sheets of steel separated by a pocket of air that is about two inches wide. The insulation I have added is inside the second wall of steel.

The bus was heated before when it was in service, having a heating system that runs off of the radiator. I haven't noted any signs of water or rust in the interior of the bus, so I am assuming it does not sweat excessively.

Many people who live full-time in RVs keep a dehumidifier running when it is very damp. If I find that humidity and condensation is a problem I will consider also using a dehumidifier.

Joseph, How did you vent the toilet and the shower; also how are you gonna keep your under the bus plumbing from freezing and busting, I also would ask you how are you gonna keep that fiberglass bat from getting soaked from condensation when you are heating the bus in the winter? And the list goes on and on and on….Here is hoping that you get help quick from somebody that really Knows what they are doing.

Here is to wisdom for you.

Wonderful progress on the bus. Very professional looking too !! Question, are those your feet in the photo with the power box? If not it doesn't matter, you still have the power to finish your walk/race with Christ to the finish line. Oh, and who would like to live in a grey manner. Black and white (truth or lies) is much better than living a compromised life of lies mixed with truth.(grey areas)
Spending much time in worship today and buying dry beans later on……..love to all the saints……contuine on…..
