Nice job! The cabinet looks great!

[Becky B.]

Thanks! I just got my magnets today--not sure if they're gonna work, but I'll find something to use them on!

It's looking incredible!

Can you have a conversation with Marie about woodworking? She is totally willing to tackle almost any project with me, everything from pouring concrete to polishing metal, but I can't get her to catch the woodworking bug. What's the trick?

[Becky B.]

Thanks, Peter! Well, the trick to my doing woodworking dates waaay back to when my dad had a hardware store. I used to make boats for in the tub out of two by fours & nails (and never wanted him to help me!) My mom was a very talented quilter & my dad could make just about anything, so I come by it kind of naturally. I don't think you can make her have an interest in it unless she wants to do it! Kinda like how I feel about knitting! NOT!

Great solution to your door problem Becky. It's been fun following your progress and the story of your little trailer, from being stuck and neglected in the back woods and headed for the scrap yard to being better and nicer then she ever has been!

After 4 years of working on our Cruiser it is nice to finally clean up all the piles of wood, metal and miscellaneous new and old parts!
I don't like knitting either!

Today I was to tool girl for my DH. He installed the plumbing vent stacks, the toilet, and the fan to keep air circulating when the a/c is on. He reinvented the vent stack in the rear, since it was right through the window originally. Pretty proud of that puppy! I think it looks much better now! Later on I'll sew (ew!) some curtains for the window in the bathroom, but that can wait! We had to shoot the stack down from the top for the curbside vent, but it came out really nicely. Thanks Lovie, for all your help!!! I couldn't have done this project without him!

Got the bottom cabinet doors hung this afternoon.
I'm getting too old to be rolling around on the floor! I think I need some ibuprofen!

[Becky B.]

I AM FINISHED WITH CABINETS!!!! Hung the closet door & the removable panel below it tonight. Just have to put a handle on the door. There are little putzy things I have to do, but that's all easy to do in little spurts. I also had two good offers on my dear Sovereign today, so all in all it was a good day!

[eljay]

Those are just beautiful! Nice work!

[TouringDan]

I agree. Beautiful cabinet work, Becky.

So stunning! Well done!

Thanks, all!

Looking good. Great use of the wasted space where the aft and useless sink used to be. I think it is sort of funny that we have two sinks less than 3 ft apart in our little trailers.

My thoughts exactly! The crazy wall through the window was also weird! I think they made it up as they went along

There's a lot of "made it up as they went along" in Airstream Land. I find myself wondering what was going through the mind of the person putting it together. Some parts are so clever and well done and others...well, it must have been a Monday.

Chief: Concur 100% - what's nice is the short walk from the rack to the head at zero-dark thirty!

Cheers!

I finished my refrigerator door this afternoon.

[eljay]

That's great! I admire your talents!

[lonewolf1977]

Love it!!

[HiHoAgRV]

The small details are really coming together. It's looking great!
