Wow. A whole month gone. I've been mostly planning and measuring and such. This weekend will be the first one I will have some time to actually do something.
First steps will be to get the door trimmed and set up so I can make the templates for the new back wall arrangement.
2nd steps will be to strap down and then cut away the side walls on the outter shell. I am leaving a 11" overhang. BUB is really going to look like a box now.

I am also planning on using the front cowling to make an attached tongue box (sort of anyhoo). Haven't got that clear in my head just yet, but I think it will work.

3rd steps will be to remove the top and take it to the basement and get it up on saw horses. I have some plans for mounting interior lighting and such. It will be easier to do if it's in the basement and upside down. At least that's the plan right now.
If I get through any of my overly optomistic list, I'll be sure to take

and post them.
If all goes well, I will be able to build the framed lifting walls in place and once they do what I want them to do; I can add the roof back onto the assembly. First thing first though. I need to get the parts apart. I still haven't decided finally on what I will use as the lift system. I have decided to have additional manual supports for the roof, whether or not it is power lifted.
This is one of those times, I wish I was retired, so I could work more on this. Not being retired means less BUB time, but more funds for the project. That works too I guess.
