Back to work-FV slowly getting worked on

This past year I took time off working on FV to get my own self straighten up. Extra weight + health problems=no work on bus. How I managed to do as much as I did is some kinda blessing from Hermes! Anyway, I did finally finish those wheel well covers and boy they look spiffy! Getting the right tool to measure carefully (3x then cut) made a BIG difference on how fast I completed the job. Lack of $$ also slows/haults me but that is ok-hurry isn't a big factor for me and I purchased a tent to feed my outdoors need :)

So now, as I'm thinking about the end in sight of that damned floor, thoughts like framing, wiring, where to put what keep popping back up. I'm decided, I think I said here already to put in a wood-stove for heating keeping the propane for running the fridge, stove/oven & tankless water heater. I also need some kind of outside storage unit and the "where to put it" was kinda of tricky until I figured out that right under the floor behind the diesel tank would work great. As for the water tanks...hm..I have one 55 gal drum that would make a great tank (second one would be even better) its just figuring out how to connect the two, mount them securely while still keeping room for the grey/black water tank.

I still want a porch. How to do it AND have a hitch for the horse trailer is the tricky part :)

    Pulled up that bamboo flooring. It is just too much to deal with and raises up the floor nearly 1/2 inch. Can't spare that head room at all! Going to Home Depot for some of that stick n peel. Can't go to BM as she isn't ready enough for me-everyone else thinks things are fine as they are but I'm not happy so I won't be happy there. Anyway, nuff said.
    Have to take her out for a spin to shake some excess crap loose so I can get back to knocking that raised floor down. Somehow my utlity knife went a missing.
    Hy-tech sent me my pre-mixed paint which I cans be happys now for another crack at the roof.
