Well I haven't worked on the Lily Pad for ages. I did take some pics of what little progress I made this past September, but then shop events and weekends camping took up some time. Then I got sidetracked by a small (13') purchase which I'll take camping this weekend.
Ain't it cute??
So now I have to find TWO winter homes..one for The Lily Pad and one for the '84 Scamp. The Scamp will probably go to a new owner once I finish the Lily Pad.
Anyway, here's some pics of what I've accomplished so far. I'm kinda stumped on the electrical, waiting for an electrician friend of No. 3 Son to have some time to come over and help me get started. I don't want to go up in flames the first night I sleep in the Lily Pad. I'd like to sleep in comfort with peace of mind knowing it's been done right.
Here's the WFCO 8725 actually screwed into its final place in the galley.
And with the cover installed. There'll be a 110 GFCI outlet to the left and a 12v to the right of it.
Then I built a frame to hold the face of the inside cabinets. You can see the backside of the WFCO. That area behind the WFCO will give plenty of space for ventilation and hide most of the wiring (I hope!)
Then I cut some 1/4 inch birch plywood for the face of the inside cabinets. Once again my cutting skills proved lacking. I'll use sisal rope to trim out the DVD player opening. The radio and TV should be OK. They'll be mounted above the DVD player.
Door openings are small to allow for the radio speakers in the upper corners. That upper space is kinda wasted. Anybody have suggestions? I still have enough to cut another face, maybe do the doors skinny and tall instead of low and wide.
The doors will be made out of some leftover pieces of the 3/4" natural birch used for the walls and galley countertop...beautiful grain. Everyone will be so dazzled with them that they won't notice the wonky cuts, right??
Put in a layer of insulation...
Here are some parts waiting for someone who knows what they're doing to install them.
So if I have a 20amp breaker, should I install a 20amp GFCI outlet or will the 15amp one I bought work? I was thinking that my espresso machine might come camping with me a few times and it might need the bigger circuit.
And, if I have the 15amp power inlet, how can I have a 20amp breaker? This is the kind of stuff that stumps me when I start to think about the wiring.
That's all for now. Time for a little break...
