Happy Fathers Day!


Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there! Me and Noel did quite a bit today. Not much on the pictures but a lot has gotten done. We started our morning trying to the the carpeting all done. Here I'm putting carpet on the front cabinets. Can't stand that icky sticky glue. We were glad when we finally was able to be done with it.

The Front of the TD, don't mind the staples they are there to hold the carpet while the glue dries. This seemed to be the easiest solution. The staple were short enough that they don't go through the other side.

Here's the back side all sewed up too. We also were able to finish inside the cabinets. All the hardware is on and ready for action. It's amazing how much time you spend on the little details. It's true when they say 80% of your time is spent on the last 20% of the build.



I also managed to get the tail lights altered. I bought these on the net and liked the way thew would look. I went by the dimensions on the website and I shouldn't have. The websites dimensions did not include the extrusion containing the bulb assembley. So we had to chop it off and move to the side so that the lights would fit inside the galley door. The first one took a lot of time but the second one took just a few minutes. Isn't that the way it works?











Front cabinets all covered now. Just waiting for that dang glue to dry.



Noel picked up our matress also. This is going to be nice. She picked it up at wal-mart. 8in thick with some kind of fancy foam stuff. Queen size with a cover. We will have to save off a inch or so on the width but shouldn't be too bad.
We were able to get quite a bit more done but don't have pics of any of it. Some of the electrical components are installed and ready for wire. Loomed up the the trailer wiring that plugs to the tow vehichle. Cut some trim pieces out of the left over alluminum for the roof. Insulted the roof with just a bit left over. Now we will have to buy another piece just finish it. Did some sealing here and there. There was a lot more done but it is just as tedious to read as it was to do it. :)
till next time,
