And so it begins....

[6cuda6]

Bathroom is coming together, finally.....lol.

 

[6cuda6]

WIfe has the base cabinet boxes made.....next the kicks, drawers etc.....box is starting to fill up!

 

[6cuda6]

FInally home again for a few days and managed to get started on the outer bathroom.wall cladding.....a bit more progress towards the final product.

 

[6cuda6]

Cabinet kicks done for both sided.....next on to the pantry that we decided to add between the bathroom wall the the kitchen cabinet ( you can see the opening with the kick).

 

[6cuda6]

Well cabinet for the pantry is done.....kitchen and middle area of the habitat is coming together.....sadly its slow going as it crazy hot. Next, the windows will get ordered tommorow but wont see them for 4 or 5 weeks.

 

[6cuda6]

Dinette benchs/boxes made and slid into place....getting to the end of the lower base cabinet work. Next will be plumbing etc for me and tge wife can put her skills to work and make the upper cabinets....a cabinet maker, i'm not....

Dont mind the mess, this what happens when you work out of your driveway.....lol.

 

[6cuda6]

Got a bit more done today.....cabinet kicks were painted and the pantry cabinet got its edge banding put on. Next on the list is to stain the face of the bed riser panel then we can permanently affix everything in place.

 

[6cuda6]

Got the chance to do a little more today.....staining the bed wall support....good thing most of this will be hidden by the dinette seats and a storage/step box at the bottom as i'm not pro at this like my cabinet maker wife. (No that is not a light strip in the middle, its a reflection from the white aluminum sheets sitting above the wall on the bed base)

 

[6cuda6]

Well the windows arrived, finally, but also just in time for the snow....probably wont get installed, sadly, till the spring unless we get a winter heatwave.

 

[6cuda6]

Well not much has been done this winter as its either been really cold or friggen snowing.
Today its 16 degrees C or almost 68 degrees F.....so time to re-install the kicks, pull the heating ducks, the power cables and water lines.

Next we will tidy them up and start the junctions so i can secure the cabinets.

Come on spring!!

Another nice day and i'm actually home to enjoy it!! Managed to get the water lines pulled up to the shower and finally was able to take the tub surround out of the box it's been sitting in for way to long, thus placed into position for fitment. (no tiles was the choice, although we like the look, just not sure of the longevity for the type of roads etc we plan on driving)

 

[6cuda6]

Well, was able to take an hour out of my day and get out to do some work....decided to clean up the "garage" and layout the flooring in order to get it flattened out [been rolled up since the fall].

Still need to re-sheet the walls, just not sure what to use, leaning towards a plastic product possibly.

 

[6cuda6]

Weather is nice enough to get some work done....finally....todays chore.....cut a hole in the box for the cassette toilet door....hate doing things like this as it's sorta a one shot deal.

 

[6cuda6]

Well what was supposed to be a week full of sun and heat turned into rain....the plans where to get the windows in but that changed pretty fast.....lol.

One more hole in the wall to end my week at home, this time for the hot water heater/furnace.

Next time, rain or shine, the windows have to go in........lol.

 

[6cuda6]

Weather is good and got some time to play "RV".....continued on the water lines, nothing exciting really so no pictures but also managed to get the bathroom window interior opening carver out......test fit the window and it looks pretty good. Next will be to cut the exterior hole for the window....an exciting move forward in the build but terrifying at the same time as there is no margin for error with this window setup. We all know, the first one is the hardest!!
