The Co-op, I’m back on the air… be right back…. (updated)

After you break up your day with 3 meals, the usual biological necessities…. get on the computer, move a few coaches the rest of the day left to do work is demenished….. getting timed of having to stop and start… this weekend I just said heck wif all dattt and came in to do actual uninterrupted work.  I feel it this morning and I’ve gotta catch up with all that I blew off which you know would have to come…. I have to pick up Bill D. tires , take Craig to the airport, get a longer hose for someones ash AC fix…. lunch…. paperwork… a pile of that so I’m getting it back for just doing work…. but it’s done.  Willie & Nancy’s walls are in and trimmed out white-walls-27

The wall panels were first back coated with non VOC moisture barrier then covered with chrome Mylar bubble foil insulation  white-walls-28  before installation.  Willie has the AC harness in and wired white-walls-29 so with the angled frig cabinet completed white-frig-16 running on DC with a frosty freezer…. we’re going for the galley counter and washer/drier final installation… stay tuned  white-galley-2

Got some good pics for your too Bill, I’ll try and post a little more after taking Craig to the airport… talk to youall then……

OK, back at ya:

Bill D. 23′ Birchaven is on a fast track now and I’m trying to without doing a full restoration on the interior make it unique enough for.  We were not budgeted to replace the headliner but we had a pile of screw holes in the plastic surface.  Here we have a headliner “island” with all of the eiling lights, vents and stuff in it but the big news is all the screw holes are overed and we brought the wood cabinet color into the headliner  bill-headliner-1  This island goes up past the roof AC bill-headliner-2  That 5″ light between the vent and AC is a touch hi/lo LED fixture.  We have several of those plus other 3″ ones as well.  All new style lights…..

We found a carved molding to bring wood into the tub area as tub trim and stained it all to match  bill-headliner-3.  Now guys, when I say “tub” that may be a stretch of the imagination or hopes…. That enclosure is perfect for 2 bags of ice and a case of beer but hey, that’s me….  Lets just say I think they will be pleased selecting their frothy beverage from such a cooler….

    The tub is just right for my 12 yo daughter. Of course she sleeps in the closet on the other side of the bathroom too (calls it her Harry Potter room).
