A little later today , I'll take my practice Flare pieces down to Frank and ask him if I did it right . I'm also happy to say the Plumbing store is going to give me my money back on the other LP lines that wont work for us. 
Very professional & Decent thing to do I think.

Were going through a very nasty Cold snap here . It was around 12 Degrees when I got up this morning ...it's up to 20 right now .
If it warms up a bit more I'll try to work on the Bus a little today . 

 

NOV. 20 , 2003

Very Cold still ...Holy Moly !

I was reading the manual on my Catalytic Heater yesterday , and because of my Lung problems I ordered a direct vent Propane heater to install instead of the 'Cat' heater.
The direct Vent LP heater I ordered doesn't use any electricity to run itself ...so it's going to be great for Boondocking , without the worries of keeping a lot of vents open ...like I would have had to with the Cat heater.
It will take at least a week & a half to get here ...so I'll  just find other stuff to do in the Bus until it gets here.

Today the little Clamshell vents I've been waiting for came in . 
Even though I put decent sized Vents on the boxes that hold our Propane tanks ...I wanted to put small vents down near the very bottom of the boxes too.
You always want to do this in a propane compartment , since LP gas is heavy ...it goes to the bottom of the box/compartment .
You can pick up clamshell vents at any Marine Supply store.

Here's a few pics of the vents  installed on the propane compartments.

Last week I cut out holes into the compartments to feed the Black pipe through from the inside. None of the stores here had any rubber grommets that would fit the holes ...so I bought a couple of Rubber end caps for pipes , used my hole-saw to cut out the appropriate sized hole in them ...and then used J.B. Weld ® to glue my homemade grommets to the box.
Then just for added safety used a couple of metal screws to permanently secure them to the box.
Here's a pic

I made sure to cut the hole in the grommet/seal slightly smaller than the Black pipe ...so I'll be able to get a really good gas proof seal.
Once the pipes are inserted into the grommet permanently , I'll use caulking on both sides 'Just in case'.

NOV. 22 , 2003
Yesterday , I started framing up a piece of a wall that would go in the bus . And ran into a Big Problem ...the Rain .
At this time of year in Sitka , You either get constant rain or a clear and Very Cold day ...that makes it equally impossible to try to do any quality job of interior carpentry outside.

Today, I'm going to try to make some room inside the Bus to work on big carpentry projects . 
It's not going to be any fun trying to maneuver 4x8 sheets of Plywood and Paneling around in a narrow School Bus...Nope , No Fun at all.
 

I didn't get much cleaned up in the Bus ...but I did finish up the Water Heater installation.

First , I flared one end of a piece of Copper tubing and fed it out through the Gas-Tite Grommet on the water heater ...and tightened it down to the Heater's LP Gas inlet .
After that was done I went inside and use the Tube Bender to Bend the Copper tubing to the right shapes that I'll need .

For protection , I cut out a 7 foot section of Old water hose ...and ran the copper tubing inside it.
This will Protect the Tubing from any chafing or rubbing on things it shouldn't be allowed to touch.

Next , I installed the Water-heater Bypass kit I bought earlier this month online through Camping World.
A Water-heater bypass kit allows you to winterize your Water lines without the need to run the RV Antifreeze through a big Water Heater Tank.
Since all water heaters come with a drain to empty them...it isn't necessary to winterize them.
The bypass kit has a 2-way valve on it ...when you want to bypass the water heater ...you just flick the valve in the direction to close off the tank .

Next , I wired up the electrical portion of the Water Heater . Our water heater can either be run off Propane or 110 volts.
I want the Water Heater to be easy to uninstall easily for repairs or replacement ...so instead of 'hard-wiring' it into our Buses Electrical System  , I picked up a Heavy-duty extension cord and cut it down to the size I wanted ...then spliced the ends into the water heater electrical leads.
This will allow us to unplug the water heater cord whenever we need to.

Here's a pic of the Water Heater Project all finished up and ready to be used .
 

Tomorrow I'll clean up the inside of the Bus and try to make some room to work . The weathers turned really nasty here...If I can't work inside the Bus ...I don't know what I'll be able to do until next Summer.

NOV . 23 , 2003
YUK ! This is what I woke up to this morning
 

I got a couple of important things done today ...first I leveled up the wall framing I had put together yesterday and screwed it into the floor and wall .
Then I made the curved-ceiling template that I'll use for all the other wall sections and such.
This template will make life easy later on ...all I'll have to do it scribe out the curve on any piece that I want to conform to the ceiling and that's it.

Here's how I made the template... There are some pics below that might be more easier to understand than my explanation .

 1- Holding a steel ruler vertically against the 1x2 ...I drew a line with a pencil along the right hand edge of the ruler onto the 1x2... I then moved the rulers left hand edge over the line I made and drew another line ...and so on until I had marked off the entire 1x2
To make things easier , I numbered all the marked off sections.

 2- On a piece of plywood that I had cut as square as I could and sized to fit the height from the bottom edge of the 1x2 to the highest point on the ceiling upright and the width of the 1x2 cross member .
 I made the same ruler width marks that I had made on the 1x2 and numbered them also.

3- Next I held the steel ruler in a vertical position in the first mark ...making sure the top of the ruler touched the ceiling and then read off the measurement where the ruler touched the bottom edge of the 1x2 ...and using a pencil marked off that measurement on the appropriate spot on the plywood template.
I used this same process until the template was completely marked off .

 4- My hands were frozen solid by the time I got all the measurements transferred to the template...so I asked Millie to draw a curve onto the template that corresponded with the marks I had made.
Which she nicely did ...then I used my jigsaw to cut the curve out.

Now I'll sand the edge down until it fits as perfectly as I can get it .

NOV. 25 , 2003
Another day of intensely Crappy weather here in Sitka ...But I did get some stuff done.
I cut out a piece of paneling and a piece of 1/4 interior plywood to cover the framing I put up the other day...and nailed them up.

I'm happy to say my template mostly worked out great . I did have to do a little Tweaking here & there ...but all things considered , it worked great.
I also wired up the Exterior porch light switch and added a 12-volt light over the couch/passenger seat .

Here's a few pics

Tomorrow , I'll work on another section of wall framing .

 

NOV. 26 , 2003
I got the framing made for the wall that will hold our little Woodstove done today.
I figured out a technique to dry out the wood that gets soaking wet when I cut it outside in the rain.
It rained again today ...like it did yesterday ...and the day before yesterday ...and the day before .
Hell ...it's going to pour tomorrow too.  :)
So , after I cut all the pieces for the frame , I brought them inside our apartment and popped them into the oven for a half an hour .
That did the trick .

Here's a pic of the new framed wall section

Happy Thanksgiving Folks !

It's Fun to be starting the interior carpentry...but , I'm at the point where I have to be very careful.
Even though I know basically where everything is going to go in the bus...I have to be careful about building walls and such that might cover up an area that I'll need to get at later.
From here on every cabinet & wall will integrate into the next one down the line from it...so I've got to stay on top of not building something that doesn't match up with the next piece.
I also have to be careful to leave areas for future runs of 12-volt & 110 wiring & such.

By the way , I've been using 3 inch grabber screws to put the framing together ...this makes for a really strong frame that shouldn't pull apart .

NOV . 27 , 2003
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
It didn't rain like was projected ...it snowed a bit instead

I seriously cleaned up the Bus today . Tomorrow I'll pick up a piece of Stainless steel sheeting to put behind the woodstove and a few other things ...then I'll work on getting the woodstove installed . I'm really looking forward to getting some heat in the bus .
I've got an electric heater ...but because of the high-cost of electricity here , I don't want to use it unless it's absolutely necessary .

NOV. 29 , 2003
I couldn't get the stainless steel sheet until late yesterday ...so I didn't get much done on the Bus.
But today I got our Dickinson woodstove almost completely installed .

First thing I did was level up the frame I made the other day ...and screw it to the wall , floor & ceiling.
Then I cut a piece of wood grain paneling and nailed that to the front of the frame.
Right below where the stove would go , I cut out a section of the paneling ...where I'll have a drawer that will carry scrap wood for the stove.

Next , I marked off places to drill holes through the stainless steel sheet...and drilled them out.

Dickinson recommends , leaving a 1/2 airspace between the wall and the stainless sheet...so I placed a 1/2 steel bolt behind the stainless sheet and fed a bolt through the hole in the sheet and the framing ...and locked it down tight with a washer , lock washer and nut .
I did this all the way around the steel sheet.

Here's a few pics

Next , I placed a section of stove pipe on the woodstove ...and held it tightly against the steel sheeting ...letting the top of the pipe touch the ceiling.
I used a pencil to draw around the outside of the pipe onto the ceiling ...and then used a 3-1/2 hole-saw attachment on my drill to cut through the inner bus ceiling and up through the buses roof.
I hate doing this ...because the curve of the roof jams up the drill occasionally , giving you one hell of a jerk . Scary Stuff .
After , I cut through the roof ...I used a piece of wood to push the insulation that's between the ceiling and the roof back approx. 10 inches . This should be plenty to keep things safe .

When I was done ...I climbed up on the roof , which was very wet & icy .
We're having a prolonged and pretty unusual ...bunch of snow and cold weather here , which has been making life generally miserable .
Well anyway...I placed the stoves roof flange over the hole and found center ...then drilled through the roof and attached it with a few metal screws on one side of the flange to hold it in place.

Then inside the bus , I held the stove up and pushed the end of the stove pipe into the interior section of the roof flange...then carefully holding the stove in place against the stainless sheet , I marked the locations where I'd drill out the holes through the sheet to hold the wood stove.

I drilled through the stainless sheet and through the framing ...and placed a 1/2 bolt behind the steel sheet and attached the stove just like I did with the stainless steel sheeting.
Once the stove was up ...I attached the Flue-Guard , which is a piece designed to protect you from getting burned ...and also has the added benefit of collecting some heat from the pipe .
You attach the Flu-Guard by placing it over the front of the pipe and tightening down the 2 clamps/nuts/bolts on the rear of the guard.
The Flu-guard was a little too long for the location I used in our Bus...so I jig-sawed off a bit on both ends to get a nice fit .

Here's a few pics of the stove now that it's installed . The 3rd. Pic looks like the frame & stove is tilted inward , But it isn't ...it's just my camera acting up again.

Tomorrow , I finish up the Cap installation on the roof. Since the roofs curved , I'll make some sort of piece that allows the cap to stand relatively upright...and waterproof at the same time.
Here's a pic of the Roof Cap where you can see the gap that I'll need to fill.  

 Once I get the Cap finished , I'll fire up the stove .

Here's the link to Dickinson Stoves Website . They have the best prices on the Stove you'll find anywhere.


 

DEC. 2 , 2003
Been a bit sick with the Flu for the last couple of days ...but today I finished up the woodstove installation ...and fired her up.
It worked great ...after about a half an hour , I could definitely notice a temperature difference in the Bus .
Way Cool.

For the gap under the roof cap , I cut out a piece of 1/2 inch plywood to fit the area and liberally doused it in polyurethane ...then after it dried , I screwed the whole unit securely to the roof and used  rubber butyl tape to waterproof the seams .

Here's a pic
 

Next Spring , I'll pull of all the Butyl Tape and use caulking and such to make it look nice. It's way too wet & cold right now to make caulking cure up.
Here's a pic of the woodstove chugging along
 

 

DEC. 3 , 2003
I got up and started a fire in our Cool new Woodstove ...and did some finishing off of the frame work around the stove.
Here's a few pics

I also redid the LP/Propane line on the right side of the Bus . I had to do this because our new Direct-vent LP heater will be in a different location than the Catalytic heater was .
Tomorrow I'll work on some more framing.

 

DEC. 5 , 2003
I got a lot done on our Big closet framing today .
Here's a few pics

I wont go into many details about the closet set-up yet ...but it will have drawers & shelves built into it soon , so you'll get a better idea where I'm going with this in the next few days.

Here's a pic of the new LP line set-up
 

After it got too dark to work inside the Bus today ...I headed out to the Lumber yard to order some more wood & such ...that I'm hoping they'll deliver tomorrow.

This is the part of Converting a Bus I really like ... framing & cabinet making .

 

DEC. 6 , 2003
I worked on the closet framing today ...and set-up where the drawers & such will go.
Here's a Pic
 

I'm still waiting for the Direct-vent propane heater to get here .
 I really would love to start building the small closet that will go directly across from the big one ...but I need to get the heater hooked-up and running to check for any propane leaks in the line I just put together , before I can build anything on the other side.

Once I make sure the LP line is good & safe ...I'll check out to see if the LP water heater is running right and check for water leaks in the lines. Then I be able to build the bed platform and the other closet.

Tomorrow , I'll try to get the Closet frame finished.
  
 

DEC. 7 , 2003
I got most of the plywood & paneling work done on the closet today ...I had to cut the stuff in the pouring down rain , which Sucked Bigtime .

Up here in Sitka the cheapest grade of paneling ...which I bought... cost almost $27.00 a sheet . The AC grade of 1/4 inch ply costs around $26.00 a sheet , so I hate getting either of them wet .

Here's a couple of pics of the closet ...I still have to add a bunch of molding to pretty the thing up a bit.

DEC. 8 , 2003
The weather improved quite a bit ...cold , but no rain .
So , I built another wall today.
This finishes off the main bathroom walls . Once the direct-vent heater gets here , I'll be able to start doing some wall-papering and such.

I ordered the direct-vent heater from the same bunch who screwed me around on the propane lines...so I'm beginning to wonder if it's really going to get here or not.

Here's a pic of the work I got done today
 

 

DEC. 9 , 2003
It was a cold but clear day today ...so I built the framing for the cabinet that will hold a TV and stereo setup ...plus a few other things .
Here's a few pics

I've been using inexpensive 1x2's & 2x2's to build the framing with ...some folks only use the good stuff . But they don't live where I do , where even the cheap stuff costs a fortune.
Once , I get the basic framing done in the Bus ...I'll use really good wood & moldings to pretty things up.

 The reason all the pics look like I'm leaning to the right is because our Bus is on a pretty drastic slant . I'm squeezed in really tight in our yard and cant do much about it.
So, I've been trying to be really careful to square things up ...I'd hate to pull it out of our yard next year and find all my cabinets off of true.

 

DEC. 11 , 2003
I stopped by the Plumbers shop yesterday to find out about the Direct-vent heater ...it turns out it hasn't been shipped yet . If I'm lucky , I'll hopefully get it 10-12 days from now .

I don't feel so well ...got the Flu I imagine . But , I did work a bit today.
I added heavy-duty full extension slides to the TV cabinet I made the other day .
On one side of the Cabinet is an big 'Appliance Garage' ...Millie wanted a place to keep her big KitchenAide mixer and such .
So , I built shelves that will slide out with the KitchenAide mixer & blender plugged-in and ready to use.

Here's a few pics
 

Tomorrow I'll build some more on the cabinet ...and try to get it covered in plywood & paneling.


 

DEC. 12 , 2003
Still feeling a bit crappy , but I got some more done on the cabinet .

Here's a Pic
 

I picked up a sheet of 1/2 inch AC grade plywood to make the sliding shelves and such for the cabinet ...which I'll try to get built tomorrow .

DEC. 13 , 2003
Did a lot more work on the front cabinet today
Here's a few pics

Tomorrow I'll start building my computer desk 

 

DEC. 14 , 2003
I got a good start on the Computer desk setup today.
First , I built a frame that will hold the desk and also be the cabinet that contains the Electrical Breaker Box and the Electrical 'Shore' cord.

To hold the 30 amp electrical cord , I bolted & screwed a big plastic battery box to the wall underneath the exterior electrical access port.
Here's a pic...it looks crooked , but it isn't. It's just me leaning over to take the shot. 
 

Next I built the computer desk top ...using a good grade of AC plywood.
Later on , I'll put a plastic laminate top on it.
Here's a pic
 

 

DEC. 17 , 2003
I've got a pretty Nasty Flu/Cold thing going on ...so I've been resting up and puttering around the Bus doing small projects.
I've done a bit of screwing things down more securely and putting up some paneling pieces here & there.

Today , I worked on getting our CD Player and Cassette/Radio Player hooked up.
Since were running two separate units , I added a 12-volt on/off power switch to each unit.
This way we can completely shut down power to one unit and play the other without getting feedback or shorting out the other unit.

Here's a Pic
 

This afternoon I got a call from the Plumbing Place telling me my Direct-Vent LP Heater finally got here.
I'll pick it up tomorrow morning and then if it's not pouring down rain ...like it was today . I'll start to figure out how I'm going to install it.

Dickinson Woodstove Update
We've been getting a lot of emails asking us...now that we have the woodstove installed , what do we think of it ?
So far , I love it.
It's a quality piece of equipment that was definitely worth the expense. I've been burning 'Presto Log' chunks in it ...with a few pieces of scrap construction wood thrown in here and there .
One detail I'm going to change soon is to pick up an in-pipe 'Damper' for the stove . 'Presto Logs' burn very HOT ...and even when I've got the stove dampened down , I do notice that the Buses ceiling gets a bit hot.
I'm not too concerned about this , because the ceiling is steel . But, for safety's sake , I think a damper is called for.
Other than that , The Dickinson works great . It does exactly what I wanted it to... it knocks back the moistness in the Bus.
So far , So Good !
 

DEC. 19 , 2003
Yesterday morning I picked up our Orbis Colorama 2 Direct-vent LP heater from the plumber's ...and ran around looking for piping to extend the heaters flue arrangement.
The Heater comes with approx . 12 inches of flue pipes...but, the location I'm installing it in the bus will need just under 36 inches of flu pipe reach.
So , I picked up some extra pipe to extend the original setup.

Here's a Pic of the LP Gas Heater
 

 This morning I measured off the area where the Heater will go on the closet & cut out the hole for the Vent/Flue pipes.
Then I did the same thing on the wall and cut through to the outside of the bus...using a jigsaw and a grinder w/ a cutting wheel.
I then attached the exterior vent arrangement to the bus...it was pouring down rain , as usual.
God , I can't wait to move off this miserable Island !

O well...here's a couple of pics

After I got the vent cap attached ...I used hose-clamps to bring a 4 inch stainless steel pipe down to 3-1/4 inches ...marked it off , cut it to size ...and put it together . I was amazed it actually measured out correctly when it was put together. This 3-1/4 section of pipe is for the inside vent pipe of the double flue pipe setup. It's for exhausting the hot gases from the heater to the exterior of the rig.
Cool !

I need to run down to the Plumbing supply store now and pick up a couple of 3/8" LP Line fittings for the heater ....and hopefully I'll get the Heater installed tomorrow.

DEC. 21 , 2003
I got the heater installed today ...I still need to pick up a few LP Line fittings tomorrow to tie it into the main line .
Here's a couple of pics . The first one shows the Flue pipes with the extensions I added . After I put the 2 pieces together...I used a High-Heat resistant caulking to seal up the pipes seams , called 'Rutland 500 RTV Silicone sealant' .
And when that setup , I used 'High-Temperature Flue Tape' made by 3M™ to seal up the caulked seams on the pipes.
This should ensure a pretty airtight pipe setup ...which is mandatory , for safety sakes.

I'm not 100% sure the extended pipes will make the heater work correctly ...but I did email the company that makes the heater and asked them if it's OK to do this.
They replied that the heater is used in Europe with 24 inch pipes ...and works fine . But they're not sure what a 36 inch pipe setup like mine will do.
Hope it works .

Tomorrow , I'll pick up the LP fittings and try to get our propane tanks filled. This could be hard , I don't have a vehicle and the Taxis here wont carry LP tanks .
I'll figure out something ...I'm dying to see if the Heater works.

 

DEC. 23 , 2003
Yesterday was a busy day for me...I ran out to the plumbers supply store to pick up a few final LP fittings to finish off the Direct-vent Heater installation .
And connected the heater to the main LP Line in our Bus.

After that was done , I carried our 7-gallon propane tank down to a place to get it filled ...none of the service guys we're around so I left the tank there and let the woman at the counter know that I didn't want it purged or filled unless I was there to watch.

She told me to come back around 1 in the afternoon ...which I did . I got the tank filled and borrowed a hand truck to drag it home with.
By the time I got home ...dropped off the Tank and walked the Hand-Truck back ...it was too dark to test out my LP Line system ( IE. Look for Leaks). 
At this time of year here in Sitka , it starts to get noticeably dark around 2:30 in the afternoon.

I was tempted to run out a power cord & use a light ...but LP Gas gives me the 'Willies' ...and since I don't know yet if there are any leaks , I didn't want to take any chances .
 

First thing I did in the Bus this morning was nervously turn on the propane ...and then I took soapy water and used a brush to dribble it onto all the LP line fittings to check for leaks.

I'm Very Happy to say there were none !!!!
Then I went through the start-up procedure for the Direct-vent Heater...it took a couple of tries to get it started , but it finally did.
When Direct-vent heaters are New ,they always take a few tries to get them started ...this is normal for them.

The Heater works GREAT !!!!
In less than an hour , our Very cold bus was up to almost 70 degrees .
 

While the heater was running ...I ran around and checked the Fittings again for leaks .
And when I found none ... I cut-up sections of an old water hose and covered the copper LP lines to protect them from Chafing .
Even though I'm going to cover the exposed pipes later ...I still think this is a good thing to do.

Here's some pics
 

I'm SO , SO HAPPY about thing's working out . This LP System stuff has been a major nerve-wracking experience for me.
WHEWWW!!!
 
 

MERRY * CHRISTMAS * EVERYONE !

DEC. 27 , 2003

Pretty Aye ? ....Pretty awful !
 

It started dumping big loads of wet snow on us yesterday ...so I couldn't build any of the new framing sections I wanted to .
I don't have the room in the bus to work on framing ....so I have to do it outside.
Normally , Bad weather & such doesn't bother me at all...it's just that I really want to finish up our Bus & move away from this very wet climate...for monetary & Health reasons.

I really don't suggest anyone who has a bus to try to do a conversion this way ...take your time ...wait till better weather comes along.
Otherwise you'll rush through some projects that take time to do really correctly.
Like the rough cuts in my Paneling...if I had waited till next summer , instead of doing it in the pouring down rain ...I wouldn't need to do as much cosmetic work to make things look really good later.

It wasn't a completely wasted 'Bus day' though ... I ordered a pile of 1/4 inch AC , Paneling and such from Spenard's , which they delivered to me.

Plus , I picked up a really good Nighthawk CO monitor and started up the direct-vent heater...after an hour went by the Bus warmed up nicely and the CO monitor read "0" percentage of CO in the air...which made me really happy.
This means I got a really good seal on my Heater & the Flue Pipes.
Excellent !
 

First thing this morning , I fired up our Direct-vent heater.
Boy O' Boy was it cold in that Bus ...17 degrees .
I LOVE this heater ...it really works well and uses No Power ...now that's Cool .
I couldn't work in this kind of Cold without it.

I brought some power tools outside and built the Tub/Shower framing.
And then installed it .
After it was up I covered it with 1/4 inch AC plywood.
Here's a few pics
 

I also cut the FRP fiberglass panels that will line the shower walls .
Tomorrow I'll get the Bus warmed up and glue the panels to the shower walls.

 

DEC. 28 , 2003
I glued up the FRP panels today and added the various moldings.
I still need to add some molding for the curve at the ceiling.

The gluing part was pretty easy...you just spread FRP glue over the back of the panel or the wall works too...then push the panel up against the wall .
Working from the inside out toward the edges ...you push and smooth out the panel .
You keep applying this pressure until the panels nice and flat , with no 'bubbles' showing in the panel .

Here's a couple of pics

The window in the shower will be covered by a Stain glass panel .

Tomorrow , I'll install the faucets and the waterproof 12-volt light in the shower ...then I'll start figuring out the next framing section.

 

DEC. 29 , 2003
Got the Shower Faucet & such hooked up today...I also installed a waterproof light in the shower.
Here's a pic
 

I still have to level up the faucet setup ...but I want to wait until I have the Tub completely installed before I do that.

I was tempted to start framing up another section of the Bus ...but my breathings a bit off from using that FRP glue yesterday ...so I'll wait till tomorrow to start building it.

I'll  draw-up some plans for the little restaurant trailer were building today ...we ordered most of the restaurant equipment we'll need for it last year .
I've been going Back & Forth about whether a trailer or a panel truck would be best for us...still not completely sure yet ...but I do have all the Axles & such to build a trailer . And they fit into small Fair spaces better than trucks do.
So...I don't know....

DEC. 31 , 2003
I must have been born under a Bad Star or something...yesterday while I was working on the new framing section in the pouring down rain , I slipped off the porch and threw my back out.
Yikes...

Today , I got some more done of the the framing section . It's not attached yet , but here's a pic anyway
 

This cabinet has a lot going on in it...down below is one of our battery compartments.
I'll build a very heavy-duty sliding shelf that will hold the battery box ...that will allow me to slide it out when I want to check up on the batteries.

Directly above the battery compartment is the area where I'll install our Solar Charge Controller , Battery Monitor and 12-volt Fuse/Distribution Box.
Behind those will be our 12-volt Converter and the small Inverter.

Up above this will be a Food Pantry Cabinet ...and facing our bed will be shelves to hold our TV & Such.

I tried to start our new direct heater this morning ...and it wouldn't .
I've still got almost a 1/4 of the LP Tank filled ...But I took it in to get filled .
I'm hoping there just wasn't enough Propane in the Tank to fire up the heater ...and not something else...

I'm going out to pick up the tank right now and will try to get the heater started when I get Home.
Crossing my fingers .
