Teardrop trailer construction 6


We had a little time to work on the teardrop trailer tonight. The coolest thing was the installation of the doors on the cabinets in the sleeping compartment. The pictures really don't do it justice as they really look cool. It really gives the cabin a look of nearing completion until you look at the outside.

We also cut the curved components to build the trunk lid over the kitchen. We will be installing it this weekend if we have the time to work on it. You might notice that the cherry blocks in the door are starting to darken. We are hoping that they match the contrast of the counter eventually.

Kent installed the other wall of paneling while I was in Provo last week and built the door frame. The frame will be black to match the cabinets. It is really neat how the paneling is matching the wall configuration. He has the round window marked so it will most likely be cut out this weekend.We also installed the ceiling paneling. It is a shiplap pattern. We have had this material in our warehouse for about four years and couldn't sell it, so we sanded it up and finished it to match. Again the picture doesn't do it justice as it is really beautiful.
