Finished the ceiling! Closing off the inside is a great feeling. Ran the a/c and it got cold fast. Got out the tv trays and had our first meal in it as well.

Aug 2018

Spent August finishing up and rushing this last week to be ready to camp for the Voluntears autumn camp out. Epoxy work was not as bad as expected. Still going to put a few more coats on. Used 2 gallons with quite a bit of waste. Material cost 5k. 4 months build time.

Awesome build man! I am looking at building something similar. What was the final weight of the build? Also, you said you vented the A/C through the floor, did you just cut a hole in the floor for it?
