Then and now

Looked at old pictures of the cruiser recently, it is good to see some progress.
Soon she will get a full polish job!




The first day we had Nellie, all those black tears running down the side:-(

Progress

Making progress, all the gas is hooked up and working, fresh water tank and  water heater are plumbed in and water lines are installed back to the bathroom.
My wife and I talked to our upholstery guy and picked out  our seat cushions.
Started installing the black tank today,  I haven't been looking forward to this but so far so good!


Our battery came in the mail !
Made a splash guard for the stove.
Installed a couple more cabinet doors.
Installed the main door gasket now that the cabinets are in and I wanted the rivets to show on the inside.
We had a surprise storm that found Nellie outside in the hail but luckily no damage.

Starting to feel Usable

After some computer and camera troubles everything is back on track. We made some pretty good progress this last week and the cruiser is starting to feel complete.
 Rear full size bed that replaced the two twins
 Bad picture but wardrobe got a little smaller,
 refrigerator cabinet is in the same spot just shorter, original was  full height
  Thiscabinet is about the same but missing the cooktop that was here originally. 
 The sink base is a little tight to get through the door.
Had some good help!
Thanks Ben
New faucet is in, donated by a plumbing friend, sink is mounted after two try's. I had the cabinet upside down
 and thought for sure everything was in position, i mounted and sealed the sink in place, turned the cabinet over and found I had the sink turned a 180 degrees and the drains were in the front of the sink:-)
 I took everything off the stove that I could, cleaned and painted everything
Used a door edge molding to trim the upper cabinets.
 New knotty pine flooring should match well, another donation from a flooring friend.
 Need to find or build the right table yet
Just a simple towel rack I found in my Dads shop, fits well.

Cabinets and more painting


 The cabinets are 90% done and final finish is on. We decided to do one more coat of paint inside to touch up all the scuffs from building the cabinets over the last year. Now we just have to watch the paint dry, I really want to install cabinets permanently and sometimes I am not the most patient!




The next post should look quite bit different with cabinets in!!

Bedside cabinets

Started in on the Side cabinets in the back corners, eight shelves total in the cabinets and each one is different, so pretty tedious process. Everything takes longer then you think it will take. Fun having everything come together.
