So it's been almost a month since our last post and we have made lots of ground on the demo. Once we had all the ceiling wall/ceiling panels down it was time to remove all the lovely fiber glass insulation. The insulation was held in place with some kind of adhesive which kept a lot of insulation fibers stuck to the metal. Since we are spraying our foam insulation directly to the ceiling and walls we wanted to go the extra mile for a clean surface. We used a wire brush head on the grinder and removed the rest of the remaining fiberglass. It's always a good idea to wear a mask, suit, and eye protection when dealing with insulation to avoid itchy skin. We removed the driver's seat and pealed up the rubber floor below it and discovered some rust. It wasn't rusted all the way through the floor so we treated it with Ospho. Here are the steps to treat the rust:
*Make sure to wear proper respirator when removing rust and have good ventilation* The emergency roof hatches have been removed which was fairly easy but removing the sealant underneath there flanges did take a little time. The openings on our bus will be downsized with sheet metal so we scraped and sanded the area down so theres a clean surface to adhere new sealant under the metal panels. The front warning flashers have also been removed and will be covered and sealed with sheet metal. We are rewiring our rear warning lights, the reds will be additional break lights and the ambers will be additional turn signals.
