Kitchen Extractor Cabinet

Next task on the list is to get the Kitchen pantry in and secure...   It was just sitting there until I got the floor in ..  Now the floor is down I had to trim the top to allow it to slide in...  then paint the front and fit a latch to stop it from sliding out.

Self Containment - at last..!

Well it is about time I decided to get this done...  I had done an inspection a year or so again but hadn't followed up after fixing a couple of things that needed attending to...    But now I have the kitchen in and working well I thought I would do it..   I rang Bill over in Taupo who is the local NZMCA Inspector and made an appointment.

As expected...

Fire In....  

Center Console

Time has got away from me again...  I have been a bit tardy at keeping this blog up to date...  So now I am bed ridden after some surgery it is the opportune time to catch up.    I will have to use the pics I have taken to remind me of the order of things.
Looking at the end of the last post I finished lining the cab ceiling in January ish...   After I fit the c...

Lining Continues... 

I am hopeless at keeping this up to date...   But I thought it was high time that I did something about it...  Its Jan 12th 2017 and lots has happened since I last posted...     I said in my last post that I was to ride the NI 1600....  Well I did that successfully...   a great ride..  I wrote a separate blog for that if you want to read about it......

Its time I updated this...   I have been working for the man...  Traveling...  Which took me away from making progress..   But some progress has been made.     Last post I said I was going to continue with the ceiling..  I thought I might as well as I had the momentum up and was in the mode..  so to speak..   First I had to finish the wires for the lounge lights and get them ready...

Kitchen Ceiling

I wanted to get to the kitchen next with a view to getting the stove in..   Of course there are a number of things to be done before I could do that...
I worked out the approximate design of the kitchen but specifically the stove location.   I cut the hole in the roof and put in the vent outlet for the range hood.
Next running the wires to the place the lights will be.&#...

Gas Struts on....

Bed now done I needed to get gas struts to hold up the top to get access to the storage below...   Emails and phone calls to the gas strut man..  Trip to Auckland to pick them up...   Peter did the calculations of weight and distance from the hinges and gave me the attachment points for the struts...     I thought they would be a bit bigger but he said they would do t...

Bedroom Painting...

Last post I said that I would assemble the bed next...  Well that was the plan...  But I figured that it would be easier to line the rear wall and paint it without the bed in place so I changed plan...   I debated not lining the rear wall as most of it will be covered with the bed and cupboards..   But there will still be some wall showing so I thought it would be better to line i...

Bed Construction...

After doing the wall lining I was going to do the rear wall...  Friend WS suggested it wasn't necessary given that I was going to cover the rear with cupboards and the bed...  So I decided to get on and construct the bed top.
First the frame that I am going to screw the slats to...
