Post #20 - Side walls & cabinetry

Despite the cold temperatures we've gotten the side walls up, attached to the floor framework, and stabilized across the top with two rafters (ribs) and have the back panel and three ribs in.  I have all the rafters cut to 84" and frames made to fit the windows and vents in the front, back and ceiling. (Note: I made a boo boo. I should have cut the rafters to 84.25") so I will have to add some 1/8" plywood squares to the ends when I am finished.

I've been working on facing the cabinets, and filling the pin nail holes with wood filler, started to paint the back of the cabinet doors, and drawers. These will be faced with the birch plywood when I'm done painting the backs. I still have a lot of finishing work to do on the cabinets, but it's getting there.

On Thanksgiving I made new cabinet frames for the 24" x12' X 12" cabinets the previous owners had removed. Still have to face the frames with the ambered birch paneling and deciding what style of door to make.

We've gotten the 1" boards cut for the new upper bunk/shelf unit, and I plan to sand them and put a coat of clear shellac on so they look nice.

One step at a time...progress depends on how cold it gets, and how much snow we get this winter.
