Rae has a really nice website and if I ever finish and post the photos she may put a link to my trailer build. Thanks for the inspiration, :thumbsup: but I think a big money infusion would have helped to get me going again. Ahhh, the Holidays are upon us :D

:thumbsup: :applause: The storage and sink are great! I especially like the P-trap. I suppose you picked it up at a marine shop. :thinking: Have to go internet shopping now. :twisted:

Just a small update. Built the galley face frame, ready for cabinet doors, a cover for the 2 burner gas stove and a cutting board cover for the sink. I've started framing in a settee opposite the galley, but not far enough along for pictures. The vertical opening on the far right of the galley, under the counter, is the storage area for the stove cover.

Steve... It looks like Amy NEEDS you in Southern California for her build! Should we send her "someone who's not here anymore"? HA!

No offense, anyone. If it needs to be deleted, please PM me and I'll jump on the "behave" wagon for a short trip.

New Pictures

Postby Steve_Cox » Sun Dec 07, 2008 10:19 pm

A few new pictures. I think I might want an organizer for plates, mugs, silverware etc, so I made a prototype out of scrap plywood to see how it would look.

I got the table/storage finished today. It has a fold up top and an extension on the front when raised adds 8" to the table.

:thinking: I sure would love some dimensions on your dish rack. 8) Too bad we can't just hop down and have a good look. :roll:

Beautiful work Steve. This is going to be something really special. :thumbsup:

Thanks Auntie,

Dimensions on the dish thing. The cup part is 3.5" square. The plate part is 2.5 deep by 8" tall.... etc, etc.... If I build a good one, It'll have a few changes for sure.
