You might think we haven't done anything but stick stickers on our van - but you'd be wrong. In fact, we've been so busy building and building and unbuilding and rebuilding (we are Humble Gumby Construction, after all!) that we haven't had time to write about our progress! Even these photographs are a little out of date, but we'll post them now and add new ones soon.
So far, we have built a partition (with a lovely little arched doorway and painted-on chalkboard) between the driving part of the van and the house part of the van. Behind the partition on the driver's side will be the sofa, which will convert into a bed (we hope! we're still working on the design) - we have built the base of the sofa. Behind the sofa is a floor-to-ceiling cabinet, which will contain the refrigerator and a large cabinet/closet. The back corner on the driver's side will be the teeny tiny bathroom, with a port-a-potty and rudimentary (a very important word in the Gumby vocabulary) shower. The passenger's side will be the kitchen and an additional storage area.
It should be made clear that "we" in a building context actually means Sandeep - he plans and measures and cuts and constructs and worries about things falling down, and he deserves the credit for all the things that don't fall down. Jess fetches and carries and holds things and offers occasional suggestions and worries about things looking odd. This arrangement works out very well!
