It has been a pretty busy week over here working on the School of Life Bus! The heat keeps getting worse, when we started reaching days up around 106 degrees, it was time we took another approach to beating it. We purchased the above reflective paint at Home Depot, it is energy star certified and is supposed to reduce heat absorption by 70%. It is still extremely hot out there, but it has definitely helped, the roof doesn't blister your hands when you touch it anymore!
We moved our wood burning stove and coat rack in for a day or two to figure out placement of everything before building the walls. Then we realized it was time we made another trip to the reclaimed wood glory-land to pick up some more wood. We actually took a picture this time so you all can see the crazy amount of wood that my Uncle has saved. Once we had more wood, it was time we finished framing the walls and putting up the insulation. Then we began running the tubing for the electrical lines so we can get some walls up! We ended Friday painting some boards for the walls and staining one of the window frames in the living area. Tomorrow we shall begin putting up walls! This is a huge step and we are very excited to be getting into the fun stuff now!

"So day by day, I will move on
Can't stop now, it's been too long
Day by Day, I will grow stronger
Strides I take, they will grow longer
Day by Day, step by step,
Live my life, no regrets
Day by day, I will keep movin' on, day by day."
