...And down the stretch they come.

Or at least I hope so. I passed on a teardrop gathering this weekend to make sure the SB will be ready for the LCG gathering at the end of October.

It seems I have a million different things happening at one time. I grouted the glass tile counter in the galley. It was the first time I used epoxy grout. It set very quickly. I'm glad I didn't have a large area to deal with.

In between grouting steps, I fabricated and finished miscellaneous wood trim and pieces.

Image

At the bottom of my galley there is a short ledge. I decided to finish it the same way as the interior walls with pre-engineered flooring.

Image

And then, I finished the remaining electrical rough-in in the interior cabinets and galley area.

Take care,
Tom

Tom,

Is that your wiring or are those the reins for your 4 horse team that you will have hitched to the front to pull your tear with. I know folks want to go green, but horse drawn?
:lol:

Lookin' great Tom!!

If we every show up at the same gathering, please don't park next to me, you're makin' me look bad. :? :lol:

Tom, I think every superlative known to man has been used to describe the Silver Beatle and your craftsmanship. Not one adjective has been wrong. All I can say is simply fantastic. :beautiful:
All the best,

Tom,
Absolutely fantastic build!! I really like your galley. The counter top is stunning, but most of all I love the black cabinets. I bet you agonized over that decision, but it sure was the right decision. Great job!!! :applause:
