Thanks Larry, we really like the look of the gunstock. Then again, about ready to open a second can, hope I like it!!

James, guess we'll see what happens, still have a long way to go. Would be nice to get out before LCG.

Thanks Sid. Us Air Force guys are more accustomed to working things that fly where I know you Army types handle more of the ground based items.

I do appreciate the words. Hope to see you guys at a gathering again.

Yeah, just like in the AF we have ground vechicles, heck, when I worked search and rescue, we had a Boston Whaler and a few zodiacs! I thought you told me you were in Army Aviation.

Nope, got gonna make it to crossroads.

Thanks Cliff, Larry and Auntie M. Appreciate the kind words.

We have some different, but related pulls for the galley. We should have plenty of interior storage now, and should be able to much better organize it as compared to the Bungalette.

Earl,

You're building and posting quicker than I can check the forum! The cabinets look fantastic...and the what more can be said about the pulls than has already - incredible!

Take care,
Tom

Not much to report this week as I am getting ready to head out on a business trip. Seems this part of the year always finds me on the road.

I did get the pet cool roughed in and cut the holes in the foot board (rear bulkhead). That was one of those measure 12 times and cut once situations! :lol: I did end up with a little breakaway on the finished ply I need to fix and hopefully the vent cover with conceal most of it.

Image

Image

And I started framing out the galley. I did get the tail light blocking installed, and you can see where the pet cool will sit, although not secured yet. I also need to install the drain tube for it.

Image

Since I am using the old Scad-a-bout trailers as inspiration for my design, this one is going to be half hatch design with an access door between the tail lights like some of the originals did.

Sorry the pic isn't straight on, I'm building in very limited space.

I love the pulls as well. It's great to see something comparable to the stage I'm about to get into. Very inspirational. I see what the light at the end of the tunnel looks like. :)

Hey Earl

I like the way you're doing your pet cool. Is the ply above it going to be part of your counter top? On the bungalette the pet cool was on the outside wasn't it? Question,questions,questions! :lol: BTW excellent work.
