TwilightLane Cubbie Build

[TwilightLane]

I'm firm about having it done in prep for the fall. I have a trip to CO in mind to visit my in-laws and spend time with wife in the mountains (her natural habitat!!).

It's going to be touch and go over the summer, depending on how busy work turns out to be. Neither one of us are warm weather people, so I'm not in a big hurry to have it done until fall. We'll see. You'll have to come over and check it out! I live near 83rd and Lackman.

I had a feeling that's about where you lived. I drive down Lackman a lot now that Renner has all the traffic circles.

It was hard for me to build over the summer also. Just to hot in the garage. Let me know when you're working on it or if you need a 3rd hand.

Hiatus is over! Time to start slapping this thing together.

The walls attached:





Those wall-looking things in the middle are braces on loan from a friend.

[TwilightLane]

Next attach the inside skins:



You can see how the blue tape outlines mock up the cabinetry.

Working on the overhead cabinet. Here is the outline:



And the bracing:

Well I guess it has been a while since I've updated the build thread. I've got a lot done on the galley.

[TwilightLane]

Working on the electrical box.

[TwilightLane]

Wiring the porch lights. First a hole through all the way through the way. I had left a channel to run the wires.





And a switch on the inside. It's not secured which is why it's still a little cock-eyed.

[TwilightLane]

I put in a short wall at the back of the 'closet.' I lined it up with a spar.



Blocked and braced at the edges, angle bracket in the middle. Glue in the channel formed by the spar and the top of the wall.

Then ran the wires for the two 12-volt outlets.

[TwilightLane]

I was happy how the wire wrapping met up with the opening in the grey wire chase. Perfect.

[TwilightLane]

I joined up to more 3/4 x 1-1/2 spars with the previous. This is where the hinge will sit.

[TwilightLane]

I've also been working on the spar across the inside of the closet that will hold the LED lights.







From the backside, gauging how it will all line up:
