The Dog House *It's done!!!! 6/20/2015"

2 months ago I Installed the Monroe shock conversion kit. I also removed the bottom 2 leaves from the springs to get a better ride. It was an easy install.



So far I like it.

You have done a terrific job! I love the build, I like the Jeep, I love The Dog House name, , so much in fact, that's what I named mine. I really hope you don't mind , It really was an accident . I will change mine's name to Frank's Dog House.

It doesn't bother me at all. My wife named it. She walked out in the garage one day and said, "It's a good thing you are building your own dog house for when you annoy me."

Finished roughing out the rear cabinets today. Just need to build the front frames and doors now.

This is very inspiring, love the shape. Great workmanship too. Nice.

It's been quite a while since I updated this thread. I have been working on the galley slowly. This afternoon I finally got the tile on the cabinet top and grouted. The tiles are 1" glass tile sheets set in charcol epoxy based grout.

The wood trim pieces were cut from construction grade heartwood redwood that I had left over from my fence.

Looking good!

That redwood is going to pop nice when you get some finish on it.

Build on!

Spent the day working on cabinet doors and building a table that will fold down from the back. All of the door pics came out blurry abut at least these 2 of the table came out good.





I still need to build an adjustable leg to support the end.

[S. Heisley]

That table will come in handy!

I've learned to hold my breath (literally) most of the time, when I take a picture. It helps steady you so the pics are less blurry.

I just need to get my good camera out instead of using my cell phone.

Started sealing the doors and table today. Spar varnish and heartwood redwood make a good combination.

Finally picked a paint color for the galley. It complements the grain in the wood and makes them pop. The wood trim will be finished the same way as the doors.

With the exception of the magnetic latches for the doors, the galley is complete. YAY!!!!!!



Oh wait.. That means now I have to build out the interior cabinets.....
