Ah, the smell of new wood paneling...

Well my dad finally got all of Coralee's paneling finished. She looks beautiful, and the smell of new wood is awesome. We ended up using 3/16 birch for the majority of the interior and 1/8 inch for the ceiling. She is a lot stronger than she use to be. Yes she will weigh more but I'd rather have that than have her blow apart  in a strong wind. Being as she was made originally on a Friday afternoon or first thing Monday morning,  she was really flimsy. I ordered some new handles from Rejuvenation Hardware and they are sweet! They are a little bit different than the originals but a person would have to look real close to tell. If someone is going to be that knit picky they don't belong in my old girl. I only had to get 3 for the new closet that we made. You'll notice the new closet door opens the wrong way. We didn't have an old one to go by since to PO had ripped all that out . The new one was installed before I had a chance to say it was backwards, but it looks fine and will be easy to get into. He also built in little hidden storage compartments in the closet, for those things nobody needs to know I have. Next will be laying down the flooring and getting the dinette cushions back from Jeremiah my upholstery guy. Oh and I guess I better get stared on the curtains also. Well ciao for now....
 

Pics of Interior

The interior is coming together!

Yesterday the Coral Boomerang linoleum went on the fridge and counter. When I bought the linoleum I wasn't how much to buy so a got what I though was a little extra. As you can see by the pic I have a lot extra. I still have to cut out the table, but there be alot left over...I'll have to make something with it. It sure looks alot better than the blue that was in her. She's looking so purdy, I can't wait to go camping...

Finally see some light at the end of the tunnel...kind of..

Well we have been productive this winter. I sent the frame out and had it powder coated cream color. We painted the wheels coral, than started on the floor. We decided to use plywood coated with a special coating make for decking to seal it up. It worked great. The floor is down and the sides are up.. See how pretty the new paneling is:) Now my dad has had to make alot of new pieces for Coralee. Thank God the man is a genius with wood. He only stapled his finger once and didn't cut any off..lol...family joke..you would have had to have been there. So as you see by the pics we are cruising along. I will get more pics up as I get them taken...Caio
