Okay.. I did some work on it. Been a rough two weeks. Spent 10 days in the hospital for blood clots in my legs and lungs due to a medication they gave me... so no work on the camper.. got home Tuesday can't breath, taking pain killers, run out of energy easy and fast. Second day home boss calls and says I'm fired if I don't report to work this coming Thurs.
As of Thurs work will no longer interfere with my sewing or camper building because I wont go back to driving a commercial vehicle that weighs 18 tons while on narcotics or while I cant breath... its against the federal motor carrier act.. and against any sort of good sense. Decided I didn't want to work for a place with that little integrity.
with everything going on I did get some stuff done. Work till I needed to sit.. and point to get the guys to do what I couldn't.
Here's the galley.. really basic.. just a shelf on the top, will get some sewn storage and some metal racks. Under the shelf is a porthole, big enough to slide a queen size standard mattress in or out as needed. Makes the shell easily multipurpose for camping or hauling. there is a door to fit it but might modify it further to allow a small AC to sit there
And canvas going on. two coats of TBII one under one over.. so much easier to do with two people and a bathroom shower squeegee..
I got himself to help me.. and my son took some photos
there will be wooden trim around the doors to form a drip ledge but its getting closer. Tomorrow its a trip to walmart to see what color screw up exterior paint they have for the first coat or two.. then home depot has some road cone orange for me. The manager there gave us two HD Pro coffee cups because we told them no matter what it is we need we have to come to HD.. the lowes a mile from the house has NOTHING..

it was even 99% dry inside for a trailer with no doors on it yet. hopefully the canvas will go on it this weekend after my son moves down from PA.
