Project Choose Your Own Adventure

cabin's almost done.


kiddo's loft got an egg-crate mattress meant for a cot that i trimmed to fit, works awesome. the roof net is meant for behind-seat storage on a boat.

backing up a bit, here's what happened last week to get there....

installed my overhead shelf with "power panel" and reading lights i got off amazon.  the shelf is small but will work fine for tossing phones, keys, socks, voodoo talismans, chargers, etc. the panel is just screwed into place so i can remove it to replace/service stuff. the sides of the power panel were hand-formed to match the roof curvature which was a total bitch, do not recommend, but once i got started i had to see it through before i realized it would take half the day.


they even have little blue night lights you can turn on.  neat.


then i punched a hole through the ceiling


and i fitted the trim for the vent fan and patiently awaited Ceiling Cat to bless me with his fleeting presence


but it stood too tall so lots of trimming with the dremel.  everything smelled like burning.  i don't think i was supposed to breathe that.


then i made these wee bezels for the light switches that will turn on the exterior "porch lights" above the doors.  scrap purple heart wood, and yeah i drilled it off center, fight me


they aren't just for looks, i need these to space the switches out from the wall enough that they'll fit within the wall depth. I AM SO SMRT


had to test the fan, this is what the wire-running process is starting to look like as i test each component.  looking forward to graduating from "wire pile" to "rat's nest" soon!


currently gluing up the galley counter and building the galley pantry, then on to the galley hatch which is already making me get cold sweats. would love to see this wrapped up by end of May!
