well the storage/entertainment center is finished, just the tv bracket to add to the door and tv of course.
fitted a kenwood bluetooth head unit and cig outlets and usbs today then carpeted the top section and mounted the door.
what are your opinions on the top section, should i cut it back to only cover the middle part or leave it as is?
as it is it will fit well into the ceiling but hinders access to the shelves a bit,
anyway heres a few pics.

Took all the spars out today hopefully for the last time and lay one side down and belt sanded the foam back flush with the frame.
Fitted the foam to the other wall and fitted the industrial granite chip vynal to the floor.
I've hit a road block as the underfloor still needs work before I can fit the house to the chassis but I'm ready and have the gear to get the house done.
I just finished a 6500 dollar job and got a 500 deposit for it and this (insert expletive here) is refusing to pay any more due to a bunch of trumped up bullshit so it's off to court for me to get what I'm duel owed....so it's not great on the finances at the moment so I've got to push on with the parts I've got.
Got stacks of stuff in the mail including my super cool shore power inlet so I'll get about finishing the house and worry about how I'll move it later.
I post some pics tommorow

Tough news about the job. Shame it has to go to court, that will just stretch it out for ages.
What have you got left to do underneath?
Have you found a short cut to load the photos yet?

I need to weld some mounts for the galley floor, install the composite sheet for the lower floor and run plumbing and wiring through waterproof glands and build the draw frames and mount the slides...draws I can do later.none of it will take that long but we are going overseas for 2 and a bit weeks witch I need some more spending money and I've got a broken cat that refuses to walk witch cost 300 bucks last week and she's still not alot better.
I should be able to get the subfloor material next week I hope but money's tight and works gone a bit quiet.
Good news is I've got most of what I need to almost complete the house so that's awsum!
And no still working on the resizing thing, found an ap but it dosn't look any easier

I HATE POLYURETHANE ADHESIVE!....now I've got that out of my system one sides fixed on.
No amount of masking helps with this crap...we'll it helps but it's just horrible shite.
Came up realy good but I found out paint thinners isn't to good on water based poly.
It softened it up but I didn't ruin anything....turps is the go if anyone needs to clean up the black goo from he'll.
