Took the #campulance out to keep the blood pumping and restock some supplies, 6 degrees last night. I was able to finish up a couple things, the fuse block on the 24v bus bar and the wireless controller box mounted. As well playing around with a $9 downspout pipe to try to tone down the intake resonance I have at 45 mph. Seems to help... 🤷🏻‍♂️. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #m1010 #cucv

Finally finishing this project up... 7 gallons of fresh and 7 gallons of gray under the counter. 4 more jugs will fit in storage under the couch/bed if needed for a total of 35 gallons. Another ✔ on the list. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #M1010

Looking supreme, Mad Texan. Clean. Nice!

Sure do like that sink with the cutting-board cover:

- Where's you find that, a Marine supplier?
I actually got it off Amazon. After looking a RV sinks and not being happy with the looks of them I came across this one. I spent way more than I wanted to on it but it is reflected in the quality of it. It was supposed to be an under-mount but I needed clearance underneath. I drilled the holes in the flange and mounted it from the top.

Winter break is seemingly ending. 🥶 Finally getting back to the wall cabinets. Baltic birch of course has skyrocketed but fortunately I’m reaching the end of building. Chop, cut, and seal. Took a little break in the process… 🥃. Assembly to come… 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #M1010

That is some really nice carpentry work!
Best part is that you managed to cut all those pieces of wood - and created an empty bottle - and still have all ten!

Been thinking about doing this for a while! And with some of the things happening with the price of fuel I decided to get it done. As well the fuel caps are getting harder to find. Both fuel doors are keyed the same and keyed the same as one of the wall cabinets I’m building for a special project so only one key on the key ring. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #M1010

Plugging away at a couple other projects that I’ve been working on. A couple fans to move air through the box when necessary. Need to get some power to them. But I’ve got a couple things to wire in the near future. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #M1010

You are sure enough BUSY, Mad Texan!

And the projects are all looking mighty fine.

What's that metallic "Ronson" looking device you got hanging off to the side of that speaker?

Those are fans covering the original vents in the box. This way I’ll be able to move air in or out of the inside. I did this instead of cutting a hole in the roof. The metallic box is the speed controller for the fan with a knob you turn to control the speed.

2 things...

1. I hope that's not plastic.
2. I hope that's not a CH751 keyway.

An idea taken from @kamikazikunze ambo build. It squeezes in between the door and the bed frame and gives another work space (14x30”). I have another one for the other door but I was starting to lose at dodging rain drops.
Excellent feature.

Ocurred to me that rounding off the two "points" of the outside edges (if you didn't already do that, can't tell from the pic), is going to add happiness.

Another Ahab the OSHA inspector... :LOL: :ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO: No body parts were harmed during this build project... corners were rounded off and sharp edges were filed smooth. But how is anyone suppose to learn to respect sharp objects? I wear my scars as a badge of honor... :cool:

You made me laugh!

I'm none too smart, you see, and I only say what I say because of MY scars, and what each one of them taught me, the hard way (Ouch!).

"They" say that a scar is just a kind of tattoo:

- But importantly, it's a tattoo WITH a story!

You go, Mad Texan; I'm behind you 100%, Brother!!

A continuation from the other day! Some painting to lighten up the doors and the second folding tray installed. Lots of surfaces to work with now! I also finally installed some struts on the big cabinet doors to limit how far they open. ✔‘ing stuff off the list! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #M1010 #cucv
