10 AC outlets is not too many. If you add them during construction they cost $5 apiece. If you need to add one after the job is finished they cost at least $100 apiece. So if you are in doubt put a few in. From an old home renovator/electrician.
I hear ya, I put one everywhere I thought I'd plug something in.
Love the new power panel, has plenty of spots for breakers. I'll have 6 breakers, I think when I'm done. There are at least a dozen DC fuse's in there too, that will be the next phase.

Yet another good weekend!

Got a jump start with the warm weather! Restored Roof Vent installed! Works like new now! Plugged a bunch of holes with Olympic rivets. All the shiny insulation is installed, thanks to Susan!

Also, work has started on the Cabinetry

Here is a pic with them side by side. That is not the stand, only a temporary one to get a feel for the height and work on prepping for paint.

Outstanding work as usual. Do you plan to camp in Rosie this season?

I recently spotted a very large Spartan, looking lonely in a field, a couple of towns away from me. I might have to have a look see. Just for grins.

Our goal is to have it camp-able by the Vintage Trailer Jam. Fingers crossed!!!

Last nights rain located a couple leaks. It sure is good to have this weather. I am close to final insulating and then walls. Need to be absolutely certain I get all the holes plugged! Hard to leak check when water instantly freezes

I'm still here, kinda laid back for the winter.

Furnace is in. Electric is in, 10 AC outlets!

Laminate floor 80% down. Have stopped by the door for the winter season.

The windows in the front have been a set back, I will be making frames, the lexan I had made WILL NOT go into the gaskets. After hours and hours of attemps with help form some ole time window repair guys I threw in the towel. I have a plan tho!
