Van build progress (walls, bench, storage)

Building the last section of an interior wall, adjusting for a small gap (about ¼ inch) by adding another board.
Worked in a workshop over the weekend, leaving the door open so Kitty (cat) can roam safely while boards are installed.
Tile work/cuts are already done; remaining steps are mainly alignment and aesthetic adjustments.
After installing the board, the next interior step is a back support for the bench, since Kitty sleeps on the bench/back.
Bench/bottom support is adjusted with a small tilt for comfort:
- Create a slight incline of about 1.5–2 inches to help support the lower back
- Keep it gentle so you’re not lying back like on a lounger while working.

Plan to take Kitty back to the van before using a big saw, to avoid scaring her.
Save/keep leftover materials:
- A ½-inch plywood piece saved from flooring in case it’s needed later.
- Recommends saving wooden offcuts—small missing pieces often get discovered later during assembly.

Capsule area is ready; next steps include adding reading lights.
Installation timing plan:
- Use workshop access to cut and install as much as possible before moving back to finishing outside.
Water pump wiring task:
- Connect/route the water pump wire through a hole near the front area.
- The front section is removable so wiring behind it can be accessed.
- Leave the wire in place for now, then tidy/finish later.
Once wiring/wall pieces are correctly aligned, build additional wall sections.

Over several days, the builder dealt with:

Rest wasn’t enough, leading to a “just finish it” mindset.

Headache strategy that worked

Apply ice to the shoulder and neck in the morning and again after work.
Ice reportedly relieved headaches without pills; Advil/meds didn’t help as much.

Walls are ultimately declared done, with likely next steps:
- Apply another coat of white paint
- Do minor tweaks
Decorative touches:
- Mentions cute little light bulbs.
Mattress issue:
- Current mattress is temporary and too long for the van; a better mattress is needed.
Color/design uncertainty:
- Concern that white paint contrast may be too strong, with possible adjustments later.
Imperfect cutting acknowledged:
- A guide borrowed/issue with chrome + jigsaw cut resulted in an edge that isn’t ideal.
Probable final décor element:
- Wants a long picture on the wall to improve balance.

The van isn’t fully finished yet:

Needs a door
Needs drawers for lockers
Waiting on laminate that was delayed:
- Expected 1–2 weeks, but took about a month
Plans to contact the supplier again after the long weekend in Canada

Next tasks to schedule:

Target timeline:

Intended to complete the van by September 1, but health issues and laminate delays pushed things back.

Once components are ready (and while waiting on laminate), the builder hopes to do a mini road trip to test everything.
