Well, we are the proud new owners of 500 billion clamps. It's clamp city up in the Otto household!!
Sunday started out slow as we had church and a volleyball game to go to but got set up around 3pm and logged a good 5 hours on the teardrop.
We made more Home Depot trips and cut our 4x8 plywood into 46 1/2" wide to make the bulkheads and we cut our dividers 16.5" high as that is the height of the bottom of our counter top. Now that we pocket hole screwed everything in, I regret not making the counter an inch higher. You can see in the photo our cute little cooler fits in there great, but I wanted a slide out drawer and the brackets caused it to sit up an extra 1 1/4". We only had 1 1/4" room to work with. So no go on the sliding drawer unless we get a different cooler.
With the counter top being installed auto created a foot cubby hole where we are going to have a shelf with a 15" sliding table that comes out so we can play games inside of the teardrop. It took some trial and error to see where the bulkhead would lie and when we were happy, we realized it didn't line up with ANY of the framing studs we had placed for specifically that purpose. So we just drilled our pocket holes and hoped it went through the insulation. It did! And it holds!!
Building the wall shelving in the galley wasn't the easiest thing. I think the whole trailer is *slightly* off square so nothing sits perfectly. I ended up having to cut things NOT square in order to fit to look square, haha.
Total time spent today: 5 hours
Total project hours: 44.5 hours
