Good things keep happening with the van…and I’m sick.

We are at a pretty fun stage with the van because many of our projects are noticeable in the van. It’s fun to build a cabinet, but it’s more fun to put it in!

The day started with Sara taking Kenai for a run. She always stops for a coffee at the end and Kenai gets a treat.

I’d like a half-caf salted caramel, vanilla bean frappuccino, please. Oh, and a milk biscotti.

Then she continued wrapping the van in reflectix.

Who’s that dog behind the curtain!?

I worked on finalizing the microwave cabinet. We wanted one thing that is truly done so we did all the trim and everything to see what the rest of the van might look like eventually. I finished up the electrical box (one trip to Ace for yet another size drill bit – 13/16″) and put on the cover, I bolted in the microwave, and I finished putting on the zebrawood trim we are going to use on our drawers and cabinet doors.

Similar technique as the ceiling. I shot brad nails into the lip of the drawer and then clipped off the top to make a small stud that would hold the trim in place. You can see the nails on the exposed left side. Then glue to actually hold it permanently.
So fancy!
It’s done! (Of course in the future we will likely add a door front to the top compartment, but that’s not something to focus on now.

We did some other van things, we watched a movie, and I’m sick so that’s it for now. Hopefully I don’t get full on sick and I can keep working on the van!
