 What a mess this thing is. Dude, I like the fact that you already named the bus. What? See, it's right there. It's named all over the place. Oh, yes. Extreme. It's the rattle trap. Hey, good morning from Jamie's van built. Today, me and Steve are going to do some things inside here, and I'm not really sure what they're going to be. I know we're not going to play with that air horn. It's broken, but a little hint, Steve is carrying electrical stuff and a brand new crimper. Three things to build, really, three things, three important things, and of course, some electrical. I don't know if we're going to get to that today, but one is this, two would be the closet, three is the back bed area. Both this and the back bed area, pretty simple. Steve had the idea of coming over here and helping out with electrical. So I think that's what we're going to do. Also, thank you, Steve. Check out his channel, Steampunk Steve on YouTube. Yeah, please. Now, since Steve wasn't with me for the past few weeks or so when I was over at Reeds, I got lots of wood. So he probably can put two and two together and figure out that the cedar is going to be up on the sides and then the other stuff in the package is for the walls. And then obviously we just talked about that. That goes outside the bus. So that being said. First order of business is making a spot for us to work. Yeah, we're going to have to dig out some of this stuff here. Cut the Romex, because that's easy. I mean, at this end, to get this board banded, painted, and in place, this is where two of the switches are going. Here, the wire channel is behind the scenes. This is actually what we do most of the time. See what you guys did back here. Because those white wires, the overhead lights, all should go that way and the red should come this way. Something like that. So anyways, we're going to get to work. The current state of everything. We're trying to figure out what we're doing with this wall. Since we didn't have a plan to begin, we are trying to create a plan. The plan has changed several times. Feel free to throw in your disapproval in the comments. Now, since we changed this all up, this took a dramatic turn. And that's why we didn't really have a solid plan of what exactly this was going to be. So right now, we're trying to figure out a way to hide the wires, have a little wire channel, chase, or hide them. And I just suggested what if we had cut out a piece of plywood to cover this whole thing, had a nice little cut out for the window, and then took the cedar down to here. We're not going to have a cedar piece across this way with LEDs on the top side, just like the last bus. We're just trying to figure out the best way to make it disappear and look pretty. Have a drone? I do, but I need to update the firmware. I do, but I don't. I know, real convenient. All right. I forgot to update the firmware. Neal Teardrop Travels came by. Teardrop RV Travels. Teardroparvetravels.com. Nothing like a shameless self-plug, but he's coming to interrupt our work. So we're going to go play some hooky with him. We're going to go check out some intoglios. Steampunk Steve's going to come. I'm just going to close up the bus here, and we're going to hit the road. All right, so we are out at the Snake Intoglio. Now there is an issue. There is a fence around this whole thing, and I don't know if the only way we could be able to see this is if I have my drone, which needs to be updated before it can fly. Okay, protected site, archeological site. Oh, hey, there's a... Wait, is this... There's a passageway here. Oh, no kidding. Yeah, I don't know if this is supposed to be a walkway, but it's open and there is a trail, so it doesn't say keep out. So I say, let's go on inside and check them out. This is it. It might not look like much, but this is the Snake Intoglio. I can't even... Yeah, it's so strange. I can't even say this is the start, this is the stop. It almost looks like a meandering stream, and the fact that we're out so close to it is a little strange, because there is a fence around the area, and then there's an opening in the fence, and it doesn't say do not enter, but a little mice are kind of messing up the Intoglio, but this is it. So if anybody thinks you shouldn't be in here, well, just keep your distance. And again, there was a... There's no signs posted for this, so I'm guessing this is okay. But yeah, this is it. So it would probably be a lot more significant from the air, but definitely don't walk over it if you come out here. Well, surprise, surprise. Me and Steve went to town looking for supplies, and killed the rest of our day, but we did get a burrito. Today me and Wanderboom were inside playing with some of the designs and suggested a slight deviation. We'll update you if we do go with that. But we're just trying to get this thing done. Things like the never-ending bus project, I know. I know, that's the way it seems to me as well, but thankfully, guys like Wanderboom helped out, and I would not be this far along with this pretty of a bus if it weren't for him and Steve and MojaBus and everybody else who stopped by. So thanks again for that. Yeah. Anyways, Jason's in the back. You guys don't know Jason. If you guys need printing work, he does printing work. Hit me up, I'll be a middleman. Here's the update. We're scrapping Mike's idea. We thought of another idea to kind of fold out, but realistically, it's gonna be comfy. We're not gonna have an angled back part. Some people do, some people don't. But here, there's pros and cons of doing that. Anytime you have a back sliding part, an angle, you're taken away from the amount of space that you could use to sit on it and to sleep on it. So we're just gonna do a 90 degree thing. And at some point in the future, if I wanna redo these things, guess what? I can unscrew it and throw away about, I don't know, $100 in wood. So it's not a huge deal. I do wanna get this thing done. I am feeling some time constraints. Josh hit me up last night and was like, yo, when's your bus done? Well, it's ain't done yet. Feeling, I'm quite over building, even though I'm not doing most of the building, I'm helping to do the building. But this is not what I expected when I first started. It was taking much longer than anticipated. Just like I said before, twice as much, twice as long as you think it's gonna take you. And this sure is even more so for this project. So yeah, so we're just gonna finish these things up and call it a day. Slightly feeling still frustrated with this to the point where if I could burn this thing down and start over, I might consider it. Thankfully I have good friends like Steampunk Steve to come and help me out with things I don't know. Steve is working on some 12-volt electricity today. And it shouldn't be a problem at all. We also have a gigantic mess of things here, which need to go around, but I don't wanna take this off and put it back and take it off and put it back and take it off and put it back. Anyways, so we have a little mess here. I'm gonna go outside and I'm gonna play with edge banding if you guys know what that is. If you don't, I'm just gonna be ironing on wood to wood. All right, now, feeling better. I found what I was looking for. So I'm gonna get to ironing outside. Steve is in here. Thanks, Steve, playing with Romax. If it weren't for great guys like Steve, Mojo Bus, Eric, Wanderboom, Jamie of The Coachwork, who else am I forgetting? Obviously Mike, too, for initially helping me out, but he had to go. So that's why I'm saying if it wasn't for those guys showing up to help me out with this thing, I don't know if this thing would ever get done, so. So it's very thankful. It would be in a nice rest home someplace. Yeah, yeah. I don't really get too frustrated in life. That's just my personality, but I was definitely a little frustrated earlier and I was telling Steve, I like to burn this thing to the ground, but now, you know, I don't wanna burn it down. I like this. Oh, so you found this missing wire. Do you find your marbles though? No. All right guys, I am out of here. Kind of woke up this morning. Still a little on the frustrated side and just decided that 10 days with no shower, that's right folks, 10 days. I made greasy MF for 10 days too many for me. I don't have propane, no electricity, no water, no place to sleep. It's just a little bit too difficult out here for me and I'm not a big fan of the desert and I don't mean to be negative. And I'm not, that's not what I'm saying here. Definitely not trying to complain. Just letting you guys know how difficult it is having a half-completed bus. So, I'm flying the coupe, shooting the breeze, saying Sayonara, the van bill, 2018. Thanks for all the help. I'll see you in a month.
