5-12-2007 Cabin is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My carpenter friend took work in another state. I was left to my own devices. I had completed everything that I was going to do, the rest required his level of craftsmanship, or so I thought.
I took my time, measure twice and cut once. The work is not perfect. I am human.
I started the cabin finish by strengthening the bulkhead wall and building the framework for cabinetry. I ordered a water tank that perfectly fit the area above the rear of the entertainment center. It gravity feeds the faucet at the wet bar sink.
The sink is stainless steel and came from an RV surplus outlet. The faucet is one typically found on drinking fountains. It has a goose neck and a lever handle that detents in the on position for filling containers.
I fabricated some custom hinges that attach the doors both on the backs and sided of the doors
Installed all of the edge trim taking care to have screw holes line up where pieces are close by. The same molding is used on edge on the doors.
Built the doors out of the bamboo flooring. Took advantage of their tongue and groove construction to make all of the pieces interlock with aluminum strips binding them along their edge.
