First of all, thanks for starting a project page. We love to watch folks build their dream coach (or something close to it :D ).

Next, WOW! I looked back and you were tearing out the interior in Dec. In a bit over 6 months you have made a ton of progress!!!

Now we need some pictures of the exterior - no excuses this time :lol: :lol:

Thanks Rusty and John!
I added another fresh water tank today and finished up the plumbing.
I also built some storage cabinets for the bays and installed an outside frig this past week.
I will try to post some pictures tomorrow.

WOW, you are really "gittin er done". The interior is looking great. Get that inside done so you can start enjoying that big bird. Seems like the exterior is always the last thing to get done. (had ours 5 yrs and haven't made it that far yet) Keep plugging away and she will be done before you know it.
We are only about 20 miles away, so if you need an extra set of hands just holler.
PS - sent you a PM.

Thanks Darryl.
I took the bus to a friend of mines cabinet shop the middle of Nov. his painter was going to put the finish on the cabinets and paint the rest of the interior of the bus.
I went and picked up my bus today as it had not been touched since I took it to his shop.
The damn guy told me he needed to make some extra money and would be glad to do the job,I never even asked for a price, just told him to do it, I cannot figure people out anymore!
Anyway it is back in my yard and I will do the interior myself!
