So I had this epiphany. You know what makes me really happy? Arranging and rearranging the things in my van and "cleaning" it. You know what makes me miserable? Trying to do something about the chaos in my cabin every single day and getting nowhere. But cabin dwelling has spoiled me and I don't like winter in the Astro anymore.
I got this van for $400 at an auction over a year ago. When I put a battery and gas in it it started right up. It has some issues, heater (core, motor, relays?), and dash gauges (I have an electrical diagram and can't make sense of the haywireness of it all and suspect that it might actually be overheating and having high oil pressure). It doesn't start at the moment, but whatever, it just needs to be an insulated bedroom/studio.
It came already sprayfoamed! Yay! Today I've been working on insulating the floor, which has some holes rusted out in the back corner. I'm using the cheapest white board foam insulation ($22), the cheapest plywood ($22), and remnant linoleum ($7).
