We haven't posted much about the camper's progress recently. You are probably thinking that we have been eating snack mix and watching TV. Well we have. BUT we have also been slaving away on the camper.
We will post more pics of what we have accomplished so far, but to summarize we have done the following: removed the old furnace, rebuilt the cubby in which the furnace sat, put subfloor down, painted, rebuilt the top bunk, put up trim, painted hardware, picked out fabric, drank a few beers, painted some more, scooped snow out of the camper after one blizzard managed to completely fill the camper after the wind tore a window off, replaced more rotten wood, fabricated a new backsplash for behind the stove, painted the appliances, drank a few more beers, painted a lot more, and completely reupholstered everything. This is not even a complete listing of things we have done so far.
Our original goal of having the camper completed by Easter was severely overshot. We were upset for a moment, then decided to enjoy the journey.
The following pictures show some of the stuff we have done to the kitchen area. It is not finished, but it is closer. The upper cabinet floor had completely rotted out. We unded up ripping that out and replacing it.
Although the green/copper walpaper is neat-o, we thought that it was time for it to go also. That was a mistake. Evidently the wallpaper was the only solid piece of that wall. We had to replaced the wall behind the stove completely also.
We wondered what to do with that wall after we put the OSB in. We bought a roll of aluminum flashing and cut a piece for the backsplash. Can't show that yet though.
We primed the cabinet and decided that it was much better. Notice the canned-pea green stove? It's not canned-pea green anymore. It's rockin' some new paint! We can't show you yet.
