The Mad Dash begins...

[Ned B]

Darn it all mike... Just re-read this and I'm re-re-re-thinking my impending foamie build back to a simple Benroy. The mad-dash is another inspiration build thanks!!

Ned,

Sometimes simple is better... but I definitely agree that light weight is better!!!!!

Did a little work on the new galley for the mad dash today...

If you look close, you can see the black baskets on the shelf... (There's 4 more on the other side of the wall for in the cabin use...)

Mike , just calling it as I see it (JMHO) ... what looks “Good" and is practically rendered cannot be denied . Thinking we all work towards a purpose... each individual to each owner... we celebrate our diversity and learn from our differences.

Mike , you have a “pass through” in the rear galley wall ? ... or what we prefer to call a “Beer door” ... just for inclement weather where you don’t want to go outside for a "cold one” ...

Glen,

No a beer door wasn't possible. I built the original shelf with the intention that it would be open. When Chell saw it, she said close it up. I ended up using 1/8" plywood so that the black baskets would still fit. There isn't even enough room for two sliding plywood doors...

So I guess if it's raining, I'll just have to grab a 6 pack and bring it inside...

Mike...

P.S. Surprised that no one asked about that top board that fell forward just as I was taking the picture... It'll be vertical when it's all done!

Must make the wife happy ....

[mikeschn]

Yea...

She hates mosquitos!!!

Mike

[GPW]

Can’t blame her for that , not our favorite either !!! ( mosquitoes)
One of my life's biggest disappointments , when I went up North and there were mosquitoes there too ... I thought they were only down South ...

[wagondude]

And those stupid northern mosquitoes are airplane sized too. The ones in Montana you can hear from 10 ft away

It's amazing how long drawers take to make...

We worked on the drawers today, for just over half a day... we were distracted by the run to the super market, the baby back ribs I had to smoke, the bird bath I had to set up, and the beer we had to drink. But distractions aside, we worked on the drawers for the galley of the mad dash. I didn't really have a plan... I just winged it. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. A couple drawer handles, and I think we'll be ready for the mix.

Tomorrow the plan is to add a shelf on the left hand side... as I understand it, the pots and pans go underneath. I have no clue what goes on the shelf above the pots and pans.
