9.28.12 Kitchen install, bed frame

9.28.12

I have to say.........I live in a golf course community with lots of folks who walk our quaint streets. We constantly have passerby’s driving slowly to see the progress and more recently a set of regulars who now bring others as well to peek in the windows.   It’s been fun to show off our progress and see the excitement that everyone has about our project.  Up until last month I only knew the name of 1 of neighbors, now we know each other by name, and they are feeling comfortable enough to provide their input on what we should do and some even on HOW we should do it - It's been great.

 

OK, now here is your progress - The last few days were spent closing up the trailer with the inside paneling and framing out the back window. We also built out the back bed area. We were careful to be sure to put the large piece of plywood for the bed inside the trailer BEFORE we closed it up. We also installed the bed support with a piano hinge to access the storage under the bed (rather than a small door on the front).

 

 

 

 

  We also hung the cabinet doors using the newly painted old hardware and it looks great! 

 

 

You can certainly see progress in the last few days.  Next steps electrical, then insulation, outer skin, windows then done! J   Here is all the old, rotten, moldy wood from the old trailer ick.....
