We are so close…

We are getting very close to seeing what the final product is going to look like!  This week, the kitchen is almost in, the bathroom is really close, the outside stairs were made, the water tanks are done, and they’re working on the bedroom closets.  The closets over the motorbikes now have doors from the inside, and the inside of the rear doors to the cargo compartment have been insulated.  There’s still a lot of work to do, and Tom has to go over and do some things like work on the plumbing so the rest of the plumbing parts can be put in properly…but it’s really easy now to see what we’ll have.

 We were really excited to see the finished stairs.  They fold almost flat, and can be attached by the camper door or on the back, and we talked about putting a bracket just inside the camper door where they can be secured while we drive.  

The kitchen from the bathroom door.  The fold-down counter at the end of this line is new this week.  Between the drainboard for the sink, the stainless steel cover for the stove, and this fold-down counter, I have an incredible amount of workspace for a camper.

The kitchen looking into the bathroom from the cabover where the bed will be.  You can see the vast amount of storage in the cabinets on the wall, which will be wood faced.

Aluminum doors have been put on the closets built into the moto garage.  You can also see into the bathroom from this angle, where the “tiled” walls have been installed.

The kitchen from the front, where you can see all of the counter space.

When the extra counter space is folded up and attached to the wall, the spice rack hangs from the wall.

When the extra counter space is folded down, the spice rack hangs down next to the stove.  How nifty is that?!?

A better look at the bathroom walls, with Tom holding the corner sink in place.  The washer and toilet are not yet installed.

These water tanks will be installed with the long side you can see against the cab of the truck.  The plates on top can be unscrewed so the tanks can be cleaned, or so we can dump water into them from the top if we don’t have access to a hose for filling them from the outside port.

When we left on Thursday, Marcos and Nelson were hard at work on the framing for the bedroom closets.
