Redoing the Floor

As I looked over the floor yesterday it seems everywhere there was an opening water got in and did some damage.  So I have four spots that are going to require some wood replacement.  Not good, but defiantly not as bad as it could have been.

Where the old kitchen use to be:

Part of the old bathroom with a side compartment:

By far the worst area was where the old toilet was and a side compartment.

The rust had eaten away at the metal - by the toilet flange what you see is the actual tank itself.

What do we have here - freeloaders?

Bees had set up a small area under the trailer after the metal had rusted out.

I'll go ahead and replace this area.

Hoping to have the floor done by the end of the weekend.

This with a little outside finishing up I can then move on to electrical.

Plans on the Internet for Tanks

Here are a few links I want to keep for when I start building my tank.


A guy building a monster size tank
A very simple tank - good view of how to insulate & cleaning system


A PDF for the entire process - Old but good


Here is a PDF of the book - The Deep Self - the original


The main systems I need to figure out are:

• Heating for the water (and air)
• Filtering - Pump, Filter, and UV system
• Cleaning solutions for the water

Plus a Guy who rebuild the same trailer - for camping

The Dogs at Samadhi

Down here in Cal for a few days and got a tank session in.

Here are the dogs hanging out at the Samadhi Tanks in Nevada City, CA

After getting another tank session in, I can't get over how amazing they are.

I'll have the motivation to keep the project going at home.
