Steve that's looking lovely.

But just to lower the tone of the conversation, having too high a seat to the 'throne' isn't good for good operation of the bowels - so extending the platform on which it sits, so that you can put your heels there when, ahem, sitting there, would be good.

I mentioned in my build journal, but forgot to mention here, that I'll be extending the "perch" more. Phyll has been involved "Fully" in the R&D portion of this project!
The floor will extend about 3"-4" beyond the pottie.

Almost ready for varnish..in the cabin!
Looks like I'll get some practice with my HVLP gun, still un-used!! :lol:

A medicine cabinet and a shelf. The headliner/forward wall seam will fall behind it.

I got the doors and drawer fronts done also!

Two more small projects, and I'll clean up and get sprayin'!
Galley's next!

Geez Steve, It seems impossible that we were putting the walls up just a couple of weeks ago!! At this rate you'll be done in less than a month! :thumbsup:
