Latch the door:

Bought some #10 gauge. Starting to hook things up.

[TwilightLane]

I ran the #10 through some conduit I had. Not positive how to do that turn as clean as I like. Mounted the master cut-off switch.



You can see where I jacked up a cut by 1/2 inch. Still cannot figure out how I did that. Geez.

[TwilightLane]

Here is how the battery box will sit.

[TwilightLane]

Face of the closet. I'll attach the LED spar and add a switch over on the right side.

[TwilightLane]

Switch installed on the attic. On the right.

[TwilightLane]

I also wired the 12-volt outlets in the attic. And chased them into the walls. Turned our pretty sweet.

[TwilightLane]

I had the idea to line the 'attic' with felt. I thought that would reduce things bouncing around and keep sound down. My wife had some red left over from some project. I used a hot glue gun to attach it. Came out pretty cool.





I created some partitions too. Then polyurathaned them with the same stuff I used on the interior.





The partitions are just wedged into place. I want to maintain access in case I need to yank out the LEDs and fiddle with them.

Twilight:

I don't think you can sit a battery on end like that. I'd worry that acid would spill out. If you're using an AGM...maybe; but I'd ask the manufacturer first with whatever type of battery you are planning to use.

Making a turn with your pipe can be done using a PVC elbow fitted to your pipe...even a sprinkler PVC elbow would probably work okay.

[S. Heisley]

Wait! I think you got me! The picture is on it's side, isn't it!?!

[TwilightLane]

Ha! Sharon! Thanks for chiming in, yeah I posted the pic sideways somehow. The battery box will sit on it's base, normal-style, in the corner. No fancy on-its-side business. Thanks!

[TwilightLane]

Sharon, now people will think we are crazy. I just rotated the original pics in Photobucket, so they appear correctly in the thread. Instead of sideways like before.

A lot of progress this weekend. I installed the headliner/ceiling on Saturday. I was worried about bending the luaun but it went very smoothely. In fact, I did it entirely myself - I thought I would need some extra hands to help me make it come together.

One of the steps I took was to apply the polyurethane stain to the sheet while it was already slightly bent. Here is my high-tech jig that I used:



Another view:



If you look close, you can see how the stain ran and puddled into the middle of the sheet. Fortunately that part will be hidden by the shelves.
