The original 59 cabinets, The years have not been kind. Things screwed into them and removed, nicks and bangs, corners pealing, etc. With a veneer I could cover all the previous damage.

The cabinets are a wood frame with a 3/16 veneer ply wood over them. I had thought about just popping the pannels off and replacing them but my concern is I would cause damage to the frames. If I veneer the exterior I would be less likely to have problems. I will also be able to match everything together color and grain wise including some areas where full pannels do have to be replaced.

I have to replace one partition wall between the bath and bed area. It has delaminated over a large area. I'm also getting rid of the 40 year old heater so I will have to replace the end of one cabinet on the Galley to get rid of the hole. I am also going to build a new surround for the Reffer.
