A New Month, Cabinets Started
April 1 2009 by Darrin.
Wow, what progress! Most of the interior is finished! Check it out…
Ha! April Fool I am. No chance. That’s the last one, about a year ago now!
In all reality, the progress is slow but steady. The base cabinets are being fitted, after being prepped for plumbing and electrical. There’s a hole in the set of base cabinets because there was an error with the width of the stove cabinet. It was an inch too narrow and would have been a fire hazard whenever baking! Here they are, laid out and ready to glue in with Sikaflex 252…
I have to admit, I get a warm feeling when looking in a window and seeing stained cherry in place. It means things are happening, and in another month, she WILL look like the photo at the top of this post. But for now, you get your inspiration where you can. This is the fifth camper I’ve built since 2003 and I can’t get enough of seeing them come together. This may not mean much to anyone else, but I know that soon she’ll have some nice halogen and LED lights set into a wall cabinet in this location, and will be running on internal power…
Once the joinery is done, there will be a month of wiring and plumbing to do, so I’m getting a head start. The electrical center is being cut now, to hold the main breaker panel, multimeter, solar charge controller, inverter control, generator control, and AC source selector. Oh, and the cassette toilet’s in and its access door installed…
