I Finished the galley, and hinged it today. Granted I had some help in my nephew who made the mistake of needing a ride from High school today. I love free labor.

My TD only has the door that needs to be built, sanding of whole TD, then it's stain, seal, sand, seal....x7+ times :P. but OMG it looks awesome. Ill load pic's tomorrow after I clean the garage :)

I cant wait to meet you all, me and my wife Paula are so excited!

NOTE: Paula came up with a name for our TD

Name: Heaven Fun


Thats an awsome name. :thumbsup: Your going so fast can't wait for the pics.

daily update

Postby scaramoche » Fri Feb 26, 2010 10:35 am

yesterday I only did about 2 hours of work.

I did some sanding, and I carpeted the walls in the sleeping area :), look awesome. i still need to do some trim in there, ie molding, and finish shelves but...WOW looking good :)

Today im not sure what to do, weather is a bit bad, and cold, but going to try and bundle up so i can sand some, i still need to build door(may have to wait till the monday and payday, cause i need some t molding). I may also start on trim today.

I really need to update some pics. it's come a long way in a week.

Yesterday I wanted to change out the coupler on my chuckwagon I have stored in the back lot at the plant.

I spent 17 minutes digging thru the snow to get the car moving again.

Never touched the trailer couldn't get to it , it was in a 3 foot drift

so , disgusted I just went on home.

I am starting to really hate snow ................ :fb

getting close

Postby scaramoche » Fri Feb 26, 2010 11:12 pm

Well today was a long...long...long day. I worked on TD from 8am to till an hour ago, ie 7pm. almost 11 hours of hard work. But it was well worth it.

I finished the door, cut and sanded all my trim, sanded again.

Now all the cutting, screwing, glueing etc is done...hehehe TIME FOR STAINING.

Tomorrow ill move td out of garage, then give both the td and garage a good cleaning, then prep for monday to start staining then sealant.

I took some pics today, but im to tired to hunt down cable, and trasfer :P well time for a glass of wine, or a beer, then a hot bath.
