Roadrunner checking on the progress
In the next picture you can see the wall that was replaced in the front of the shower. I used a fiberglass reinforced panel over underlayment and ended up with a very smooth and strong wall.
Finished shower wall
It was pretty nice working inside the RV with the AC on. When the bathroom was finished and cleaned I turned my attention to a wall cabinet meant for a TV that I have probably hit my head 50 times on it (I know, I'm a slow learner). It faces the wrong direction for TV use and with the flat screen mounted on a swivel attachment has become a repository for remote controls, papers and lots of junk. I was amazed at the number of screws holding the sucker on the wall and how they were hidden. Never the less, brute force prevailed and the cabinet is gone.Cabinet before removal - no more head butting on the edge that used to stick out over the couch.
Conne and I went to Lowes in spring hill and bought an unfinshed oak cabinet (30x18x12) that will be made to match the existing cabinets. They matched Home Depot's 20% discount on "in stock" cabinets. The savings were enough to pay for supper at Cracker Barrel - Yum Yum.
Today I also got out the tig welder and made some new battery racks out of 1" mild steel angle for the trailer tongue. The original ones are too wide and the battery sits in at an angle with the battery tilted. Can't be good for the battery. I hadn't use the welder in a couple of years (Lincoln Precision Tig 275) but it fired right up and I still had a nearly full bottle of argon. I will paint it tomorrow and install in the existing rack location.
Tonight the granddaughter came over to spend the night. We went to supper at the Greek Orthodox church fish fry which was delicious.
When we got home she decided to make some Disney Princess window art "stained glass" to hang in the windows.
The first round of transparent colors drying. The rest will be done tomorrow.
She says you should clic on the picture to see them (and her) better.
As always, thanks for reading.

Got to say, it's lookin' good. Better for the noggin' too.
ReplyDeleteGood thinking. I have hit my head several times also. You do good work, very detailed and done right. Grace looks so grown up. I guess it has been a while since I've seen her. Keep posting and safe travels! J.
