I have the electrical done in the back other than the lights. I need to build the door before I can do the lights. I decided to put a plu in under the sink I am sure I will transfer it over to a waterproof box just in case but otherwise it works great

I was surprised to see that the Xantrex inverter takes almost no power to stay on. It might have been drawing 0.1 amps from the battery. Now I can begin the testing phase of how much power does this take? If anyone wants to know about a specific item ask and I will see if a friend has the item so I can try it

The floor is done, The floor trim is completed too. I am getting so close I need to start the slow process of sanding and coating the wood. Always hate that part!!!

What do y'all think? The inside is finally done other than the cabinet doors that I will do while waiting for the varnish on the outside,

Finally getting to the final coating on the outside. It has been a lot of work but seeing the end results has really made me feel good about it!!! A couple more coats of epifanes and I can put the door, window, skylight and fan in. Hopefully I will be ready for epic adventure starting June 1!!! 111 days of camping, climbing, biking, mountaineering, canyoneering and general mischief!!! :twisted:
