Hi there everyone. I have been a busy boy this week-end. Yesterday, I spent most of the day cleaning, organizing and rearranging my storage unit so I can get the "Silver Nugget" inside and out of the coming winter weather. That was not fun. I loaded all of the scrap steel in one of my trailers so I can take it in for scrap. I can now park the TD inside. This way, I will be able to work on it inside during the winter.
atahoekid: I got my aluminum from MSM (Mike's Steel & Metals) on Greg Street in Sparks. at $65 for each sheet of 4' x 10'.
Today, I worked on the TD and permanently mounted the galley cabinet and the upper trim pieces after I waited for the third coat of varnish to dry from a few days ago, as well as the electrical control panel. I worked on the under counter area (Parnold, you wanted to see what was going to happen there) and I got that started even though it is not finished yet, I took some pictures for you all to see. What do you think?
The cabinet and trim looks good with varnish on it.
I used stamped tin panels (really it is plastic) I got at Lowes to dress up the under counter area. It is used as back splash in kitchens. I trimmed it with 1/4" x 1 1/2' red oak trim I made up.
I still need to cut it out for around the sink area but it has been a while since I posted an update, so here you go.
I will be too busy to do anything to it this coming week because I will be in class all next week to rectify my EMT certs as well as working at my job full time. It will be a couple of weeks before I can show you more progress.
Take care everyone...
