Insulating the Vanagon
by brian @ 09:28:02 - [perma-link]
Yesterday I insulated the doors and panels of the Vanagon to keep the
heat out at Burningman. I used two types of insulation. The first is
a shiny mylar bubblewrap, like those folding window screens. I cut
pieces to fit the panels tucked them into the recesses. Behind that I
put a layer of R-13 insulation made from recycled denim. I got it at
ecohaus in Portland. It cuts with
scissors (kinda), but some I just tore by hand. It was way nicer to
work with than the nasty pink fiberglass stuff.
The back door, side door and inside panels get both layers. The front
doors only get the foil stuff, since the window needs room to roll
down, but it still should reflect a lot of heat. I'll hang the custom
window shades, and it should be nice inside. The insulation should
also reduce road noise, which will be nice for the long drives I have
ahead of me.

Soap Box Derby

A few pictures from the Portland soap box derby at Mt Tabor over the
weekend. Optimus Prime (#14) was one of the best. It actually
transformed, but it was too far away when it did to get a good
picture. My favorite was the surfer, who steered by tilting the
surfboard.

We have Schwag!
by brian @ 12:25:22 - [perma-link]
Our first round of Red Rocket Rally schwag came in. The can koozies
arrived a few days before the Worker Sprints, and Niko sold a bunch of
them. The hats showed up yesterday. They look rad!

Look what we did!
by brian @ 10:36:34 - [perma-link]
My parents are visiting me this week, so of course I've put them to
work. :)
Yesterday my dad and I built this wall and folding table (for folding
clothes, the table doesn't move), making the laundry corner a little
bit more of a laundry room. It only took us about twice as long as we
expected!
