Bedroom Overheads started.

Started the overhead storage for the bedrooms this weekend. I ran out of time and wasn't able to install them yet but hope to finish it up during the week.

Using a dado table saw setup i was able to cut 1/4 slots that will hold the sliding doors. Simply make the top deeper then the bottom and you're good to go. 

I started with one template that Nikki created. Then i simple used a router to make duplicates 

Adding the supports. The 1/2 inch notches are there to help the wood sheet hold its curve after its applied 

Instead of build two long units, I built 4 sections to make it easier to apply the wood  (its a pain to bend wood in large sections). When they are complete I will attach them together to make two full units. 

Heres whats been going on the past few weeks

Hello everyone! I wanted to post some updates on the Airstream. normally i would post completed projects but I've really been jumping around from one project to the next. So far i have started the wall dividers  with the pocket doors, pantry, bed area, draws that go under the bed and the design of the entertainment center (Nikki did a great job designing the entertainment center). I will post all the projects from start to finish later. But here are some progress pics!

Both beds will be adjustable air mattresses (Almost like a sleep number)

I want heat going to the front, middle and rear of the airstream. So we added this vent that i fabricated in the bedroom.

Foam core walls. This provides insulation and sound dampening.

Pantry Design.

Nikki designed the pantry which I will start this coming weekend. It will be a challenge but the end result will be awesome!  And don't worry about updates on the progress of the airstream the past few weeks. I have plenty of work to share I just need to get some good shots of what's been done. So far I have started the pantry, built the beds with pull out drawers, built wall dividers with POCKET DOORS and installed heating into the bedroom. I will have all the pics posted in a few days :)

Latest Update

We purchased this “super foot” over the weekend and we are very happy with this product. This will eliminate the need to carry bricks or wood blocks. Its very easy to use and saves time. Currently I am working on the pocket doors and will be posting the progress soon. I’ve also started on the pantry and things are going pretty good so far. The wood flooring is in and will be installed after the pocket doors and pantry are done. The pocket doors have been very challenging but their is a light at the end of the tunnel! 

Abbie likes the new floor too
