So for anyone wondering this is who I look up to as a role model and model for how I want to live off the land with my tiny homes.

Now that all that is cleared up, I wanted to share out the origin story for Rytheric, since not everyone plays or played Toilet Eve.

OP please reconsider putting a fire pit inside the truck. instead you could build a fire pit outside the truck and not die from CO inhalation

showers are really inefficient wrt to water usage, so i think you should get a tub instead, so you can bathe in it. then you could call the structure a bath house, instead it's about the size of a room really, so maybe you could call it The Bath Room

I think they are called barn doors, an i think this is the only situation they might fit (instead of in a random mcmansion)

like this one https://www.amazon.com/Barn-Complete-Knotty-Alder-Hardware/dp/B01M6WN692

I need pictures of this boxcar for research purposes

Seconded.

Tip posted:

Boxcars also come with wood flooring that looks good once you sand it down and treat it.

Isn't that wood flooring treated with a bunch of really nasty chemicals to keep them waterproof? Or were just pallets that had that treatment, I'm not sure...

So I talked to my boss and a couple of structural engineers at work today about the land situation. They agree not to spend more money on the property. My boss still prefers the idea of me getting it as long as the owner refinances the property and makes an effort to make it sellable. Other than that he agrees with what my friends on the internet say. Except he didn't seem thrilled about reinvesting the money into the suspension. He didn't say no, but he wasn't thrilled with the idea. This is partly because our state doesn't include the suspension as part of our safety inspection other than if the steering works good enough which echoes what my mechanic friend was saying. Still I think im going to get it done anyway.

Also, the structural engineers didn't batt an eye about the though of French doors in the box truck. They mentioned that they have a relative that does conversions and builds tiny homes for a living. I can probably network with him.

Why does your boss have any say on how you spend your money on the truck, again?

Also your colleagues have very bad opinions.

Very stupid question: How is the exhaust seeping into the box cabin if the pipe is pointing downwards in the middle of a presumably solid floor? Is it a question of the exhaust seeping through some really small cracks in the floor and/or through the back and through the door seams?

I'm assuming the box truck is outside or something where the truck's own air intakes doesn't come into play, but I have no idea...

Ahh right. I thought the wooden planks were resting on a metal subfloor thing.

I don't want the debt. I kind of took to Dave Ramsey kind of hard. I was turning my wheels and barely staying afloat with an overpriced apartment and financing a 2019 Subaru crosstrek/2020 subaru ascent on top of student loans. Following Dave Ramseys advice and my bosses advise I got rid of the apartment and my Subarus and decided from then on I'd either buy a home in cash or borrow from my 401k which I recall getting the idea from minority mindset and my boss.

I'm shocked
