In addition to an art project, also working on our new Burning Man Vehicle. Acquired in September for ~$8000, a 1994 used Fedex truck. Chevy P30, V8 engine, got about 9 miles to the gallon driving home from Sacramento.<\/p>\n

It’s legal to drive with a regular license, since it has the usual 2 axles, and fewer than, um, 10 passengers? either of which requires a special license. And regular brakes. And stuff. Pretty similar to u-haul you could rent.<\/p>\n

Built-in delivery shelves, soon to be removed. Fortunately, I found a parking spot for $60\/month a short bike ride from home. Some interesting characters there, like James with his fire truck.<\/p>\n

2013-01-04: Removed the shelves! Great bother, with a combination of drilling, angle-grinder cutting disk, hammering, shouting, &c. And careful rigging so as each of the four massive aluminum shelves came loose, it couldn’t fall far.<\/p>\n

2013-03-03: Tucked R-13 insulation into the frame and covered the easy parts with plywood. 3\/8″ sheathing-grade. Also, these marvelous self-drilling screws. A 1\/8″ hole, followed by driving these in, works great. Rather tedious swapping the 1\/8 drill bit for the 5\/16″ hex driver bit (with magnetic holder), but once the rhythm was got\u2026<\/p>\n

R13 batting is too thick!<\/p>\n

\"IMG<\/p>\n

But worked fine by gently tearing off a layer, and using it half thickness. Hot melt glue was used to tack it in place until plywood applied.<\/p>\n

A good day’s work.<\/p>\n
