Quick Van Update

Yes. I have a big white van. It's awesome.

When I bought the van, the first thing I did was strip the inside and insulate the whole thing. I used Reflectix (the shiny stuff) and 1in hard foam insulation (the pink stuff). To insulate the doors, I stuffed them with traditional fiberglass insulation.

 The insulation was then covered with wooden paneling and a wood floor. Initially the bed was built along the back of the van along with a bookshelf. After a few trips I decided that I didn't like that layout, so I dismantled the bed/bookshelf and started over. This time I built a small wall behind the driver's seat and built the bed longwise off of that. Making sure to build the bed at such a height to allow for maximize under-bed storage, while still being able to sit up and utilize the bed as a couch.

 I went to the store and bought a ton of plastic bins which I am now attempting to use to organize all of my nonsense. We'll see how that goes. I'll try to keep posting updates on the van construction, but no promises. Blogging is boring.
