Over the past couple of weeks progress has been made primarily in the galley. And as Sharla would say I have spent a lot of time "pondering". Well, except for a few details the galley is finished and I have moved onto the rear bumper, trying to figure out alternative lights, figuring out how I am going to attach the cedar and contemplating a box to put on the trailer tongue to hold firewood and the leveling jacks and whatever else will fit I guess.

As you can see everything will have a place. The wiring is completed and has been tested, the drawers and doors have all been built, and the mircowave is installed and I can already smell the microwave popcorn. :-) Just a couple of details remain, the hinges for the doors need to be ordered and the drawer system/mechanism for the Coleman stove needs some work. The bottom drawer in the middle is for the cookstove propane, the front of that drawer is walnut. The top drawer in the middle is a tall narrow drawer for cooking and grilling utensils primarily, and the front of that drawer is Zebrawood (thanks Dad for leaving me that one when you moved. The gallery rail above the microwave has birch spindles that I have been carrying around for years and it is topped with a piece of mahogany.

Sharla and I went out this morning and found the knobs at Home Depot marked down. The doors and drawers are framed in Red Oak and the panels in the doors are 1/4 Birch Ply. The drawer boxes themselves are all 3/8 inch pine and they are box jointed at the corners with the drawer faces applied to the boxes.
