Felt pretty sick this morning so I took the day off. I can't stay down long so I went up and got my tags on the teardrop renewed, so I am legal again.
Then I decided to make a short list of the "must-do's" to take an hour drive, and to also show off for the first time. At this point I know it ISN'T done, I just want it to LOOK as done as possible, this included with a list of stuff to do so things aren't flying off haha. I am going to a BBQ with a bunch of aircraft pilots and mechanics so a job well done is recognized.
I trimmed the bottom of the galley floor with some C channel aluminum, put in my little round sliding door opener deelies, and built a little box that fits in what will be the pantry to hold up my temporary galley sliding doors. The doors work though, they are just luan so the back sides are not finished and the real sliders will be from real plywood. I put speaker covers and the power outlets in too and although none of them work, it looks much more complete! I also stained the temporary hatch struts, I was sanding them down to try and make them as presentable as possible and my dang sander broke! It is just the "belt" but I need to get it from a service center, so I said to heck with it and stained them anyway, I can resand and stain later! All this is just temporary stuff, but even if it is temporary, it is gonna be as presentable as a spit shine will allow!
I am also gonna get a piece of plywood and cut it to cover all three of the left side galley openings, route two channels where the separations will be, then stain it and put drawer handles on it for a complete "faux" front side. The drawers are going to be an entire project in itself that will take time, and I want it looking like something until that time. I am still thinking about how to get it to "stick" to the galley because I don't want to drill any holes anywhere except on the inside of the drawer walls for this temp solution.
Then I took some advice after feeling the temp of the AC exhaust box after an hour and I pulled out my vent that goes through the floor and cut out the middle so there will be more airflow and put in a screen. Now that I look at the pics, I think I will add another screen over the outside to keep the dirt dobbers from making a home in that little cubby hole!
The duct tube that is clamped to it holds the screen and the vent in, the rubber band is just a placeholder.
I also bought some trailer chains but they were sooo crappy, I took them back and go research the board for how to attach them then just buy chain separately and the end pieces I will need individually.
I also took a trip down to Joe Pool Lake, my local state park and cashed in my gift certificate my mom got me last Christmas for a year pass to all the state parks in Texas! I am gonna take advantage of that!
I think I did more but can't remember!

I could do it, but I want it to be EASILY accessible, we'll see when I get there. I might just put it on the wall under the shelves so it will still be in the same general area and you won't notice it there much at all, I thought about putting it on a slider in the far left galley drawer but space is already limited there and I like being able to get to it from the inside when it is raining and stuff. Point being, you might try to think of a general location for it unless you leave it totally open like Mark's in the beginning that will give you a clean slate to work with. that's why I wait until I am actually doing the job before drilling any holes!
