painting and plumbing

Since the cabinets are taking a little longer than estimated (hey, they are custom!), we decided to drive up and work on the AS while the cabinets work is in progress.


We started the day by filling holes and finishing up a little bit of priming, then moved on to taping everything and prepping to paint. The color chosen for the entire trailer is called "Shea Butter", and it looks just like that... a pale hint of creamy color. (Note: the second photo shows the bare wood of the new wall. We will be painting all the cabinetry in a few days.)

We decided the paint the upper cabinets in the front even though they will not be staying. We have plans for redoing all that area, but cannot do it before the trip in June. In fact, there will be several things that won't be finished, but there will be time later in the summer to get those done. It is a work in progress!

The second part of the day was spend working on plumbing. The husband has replaced copper and PVC and stubbed out everything in preparation for the new fixtures.

We've had the cool round kitchen sink for a while, but now we also have the kitchen faucet, bathroom sink, bathroom faucet and shower fixtures. It's amazing how you can get things from different places and they still match. That said, it wasn't easy. I finally found an affordable round bathroom sink just a few days ago. And even though the bathroom faucet and shower fixtures came from two different places, they look great together.

After this weekend, I feel much better about having the AS finished before I have to leave town. :-)
