2/3 of a gallon of premium deck sealer left over from last summers deck rehab and the underside is sealed. I will go back over the joints with the asphalt window flashing to seal the parts I should have done before putting the floor in.

Bunk bed stain isn't turning out as well as I hoped. If sanding doesn't improve the look I might go to good old spray paint before I spend a lot of time on the poly. Opinions welcome as I have no experience with stain.

Determined to finish the bunk bed I hit the HD and grabbed some wood the sides are needed to eliminate sway and the top of course to sleep on. [attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1396229714721.jpg[/attachment]

Vynil flooring is in! Not my first choice in style but at $15 for a 5x12 we had a winner. The glue was more expensive than the flooring. Getting excited to dive into the cabinets!

Cabinets are glued with a few carefully placed brad nails. Then it was off to primer. I have officially decided not to stain. Hopefully next week will be interior paint and cabinet doors. Electrical is quickly moving up the priority list.

12v outlets with usb plugs 9.99 each at my Wallmart. Cut the outlet box to fit.

I like how you split the interior cabinets with the galley cabinet, instead of losing depth.
Also, thanks for sharing where you got those plugs with the usb, most of my stuff charges off usb so there is not much I could use the 12v plugs for but still good just in case. Guess I'll have to make a trip to Wally World, I hate that store, haven't been inside one since last year.
Looks good, keep it up!

Thanks. I was originally torn how to squeeze it all in then I realized I didn't need that much storage as I like to try to pack light. Plus the top shelf there will be more storage for the cabin. I had been grabbing 12v outlets all over as I keep finding them on clearance. On the other hand the usb ones were hard to find and way overpriced. So I was happy to spot them pricing out the brake lights.

Cut the cabinet doors, spice rack, and book/tablet/phone charging rack. I also trimmed the cooler slide out which was a 1/4 inch too large due to the slides. Next is back to touch ups and primer on the newly cut pieces.
