Your trailer is looking great, a lot different from the Can Opener. You all have done so much work since then.

heh.. thanks

bathroom is nearly done... just a few small things left to do. it has a light on the ceiling, and another light under the upper cabinet aimed at the sink. the small control panel-looking thingie is the tank level gauge panel... so i can tell how full the tanks are while i'm sitting on the can!



AND... i found the PERFECT countertop pattern!

Oh man! The boomerang pattern of the atomic age. How cool.

I really hope y'all are coming to the 2008 Can Opener. I can't wait to see this work of art live and in person.

That was my Mom's kitchen table!

Great job on the renovations. Can't wait to see it live at the Can Opener.

wow. i'm starting to think that if i DON'T show up to next year's can opener i'm gonna get lynched!

anyways. more work done, despite another injury (hubby cut his thumb open with a screwdriver ) got some cabinets on the curbside in. tomorrow the rest of them, and the stove and sink!



o yeah, and that big ol' white box in the middle of those cabinets... is a washer/dryer combo. our trailer is gonna have more luxuries than our last house!

no... i havn't booked yet... but don't worry. i'll show up.

anyways... progress is good!
kitchen cabinets in, kitchen countertop sorta in (its not anchored down, so don't worry about the funny angle its sitting at) also, as much as i loved the countertop pattern, i couldn't get any of it. i apparantly grabbed an old sample. but don't fret at that plain white counter! i'm going to get creative!

bathroom countertop finished, but again, not anchored down. and the shower stall is almost finished (fought half the day with that stupid white stuff ... i'll finish it off tomorrow.


almost there!

Katz, it's probably too late now, but do asearch here on the forum under "boomerang". Somebody found that formica recently (last year or so?). I think they said it had gone back into production.

I bought some less than 6 months ago, I had to special order it, but it came in less than 3 days.

Katz, your progress is amazing! Thanks for all the pics and updates!

whooooo! we're *technically* road ready!

stove is in, sink is in. old sink, new faucet Comet does amazing things. floor is in, and Luna approves. Luna also approves of the placement of her 'den'. toilet is in.


things still to be done to FINISH the trailer:
fabricate cabinet doors and drawers
hook up all propane lines
wire in inverter
sew covers for cushions and sew curtains



all that stuff will be done on the road... because we're leavin tomorrow... so we can make it to CT by the 10th, so we can celebrate hubby's b-day and his brother's b-day with his family up there. (thats part o the reason we were pushing so hard to finish up these past few weeks )

Since it's already tomorrow, you probably won't see this until you get there, but have a safe trip, and don't hurry. The trip is half the fun.

well..... we didn't quite get out when we had hoped (partly due to hubby's brother saying "oh, no. i already had plans, don't worry about being here for my birthday. i won't be there"

i was feelin kinda bummed about it... so i decorated

handmade curtains, got the fabric supercheap (85% off original price) because a local fabric store was going out of business. i got enough to cover the dinette cushions, too. and my stuffed unicorn/pegasus/horse collection.
