Cleaning out the interior of RTD 2847. 1989 flexible metro. This bus was parked right next to where I was doing the work on 111, 5248 and 6342 so it ended up getting filled up with paint supplies and body work supplies and everything else. Hopefully I can have it cleaned out by Friday.

It's hard to believe that these paint cans represent almost $15,000 in paint for 111, 5248 and 6342.

I finished installing the HVAC ducts and other panels on DC Transit 6342 this morning. I was going to get the last of the seat frames installed but I'm just not feeling it.
