following text was written as a log during the project. Photos are placed in sequence of when they were taken.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lots of activities before this but cant&#8217; remember everything and when so will start from here &#8211; June 16th &#8211; I did well remembering most of yesterday but not before in any detail.\u00a0 Will try to do better.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 15th, 2010<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I planed down the wood strips for the ceiling and bent them to match ceiling curve.\u00a0 Temporarily installed them on the ceiling to dry and hold the shape.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tried out seat prototype but now need the second seat to see how they go together.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 16, 2010<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Today I inspected the wood strips that will hold the ceiling joints up &#8211; they have dried and are pretty color-free.\u00a0 I got underneath the back and put the washout nozzle into the hole that the OEM-style level sender was in &#8211; I had drilled the washout flange to match the holes in the sender.\u00a0 I took another look at the macerator discharge hose and I think that the kink is not bad enough to cause a problem &#8211; I will test before we go.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I installed the AC Delco 15-4644 fan clutch and removed the Haden 2927.\u00a0 It sounds like it is running closer to engine speed but we&#8217;ll see.\u00a0 The engine battery is dead again even tho it was disconnected since it was parked there upon return from Calif.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I made up the second seat pedestal prototype &#8211; the one that is wider and goes up front.\u00a0 Tomorrow we will put it in and make final decisions on the size and placement of the pedestals, table and bench\/cabinet.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I cut down the Create-a-Breeze bezel to match the depth required and some 1\/2&#8243; spacers to hold the ceiling out at the right level.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Made the trim piece that goes on top of the closet unit and holds the ceiling up.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ordered some stainless steel sheet metal screws and recessed washers from McMaster-Carr.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 17th<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This morning &#8211; 7:00am &#8211; we (Carol too!) arrived at the storage lot and put screws into the ceiling panels that needed them (sagging FRP) and put some trim up over the closet.\u00a0 Put the trim for the Create-a-Breeze and took down the maple strips since they are now dry from the bending.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cleaned up a lot of the screws and trash that has been accumulating.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Put prototype of second dinette seat in place and measured for table and overall placement of the dinette pieces.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Took the maple strips home and Carol sanded and applied 3 coats of poly while I cut and edge-banded the doors and drawer-fronts for the closet unit.\u00a0 Then I applied the veneer to the bathroom door.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The macerator pump arrived today &#8211; can now finish the holding tank repairs and upgrades (replace macerator, try to fix the sending sensors, install washout).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 18th<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Finished putting veneer on the closet and bathroom doors &#8211; Carol is applying poly &#8211; they look good.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now to start on the kitchen and the dinette.\u00a0 First step is a design.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Stove arrived today and we went out and found a single bowl stainless sink at HD that will fit in the allotted space.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Carol is still working on polyurethane coatings of everything &#8211; having a hard time because of heat?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">My back is killing me so not much today.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 19th<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Up early &#8211; off to install macerator and cleanout hose then will be done with black tank stuff &#8211; I hope.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Got that done and now it is time to start putting the new doors and drawer fronts together so we can get those installed tomorrow morning<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Started cutting pieces for face frame of kitchen.\u00a0 Laid out the stove and sink and thought up a way of extending the counter top with a swing-up extension.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Have not finished ceiling yet but have to make one more trim piece to go over bath to hold ceiling panel up &#8211; hope to get the ceiling finished early in the week and move on the replacing the fan shroud to get ready for a test run to see if we need a radiator.\u00a0 Also, have to remove antenna and get some polyurethane adhesive caulk for around the FFF (our term for the Create-a-Breeze).\u00a0 Also have to get a replacement engine battery.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Back getting better but still a problem.\u00a0 Rest after a little bit of work tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 20th (Fathers&#8217; Day)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">got down there at about 8:00am and put the doors and drawer fronts back up &#8211; looks great but forgot, for now, to take photos.\u00a0 Took about 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That is it for today &#8211; breakfast, movie (Schreck??), the US Open and sleep in order.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 21st<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Schedule for today: see how to get the doors off the refrigerator so I can cover them in maple, attach the maple strips to the ceiling, make a trim piece for over the bathroom door, work on the face frame and the partitions between cabinet sections.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Can&#8217;t get doors off without a special wrench.\u00a0 Maple strips now screwed to ceiling except for bath\/closet area where I need a trim piece first.\u00a0 Work on face frame and cabinet starting today.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 22nd<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">working on the kitchen cabinet &#8211; tried it for fit today and it is ok so will proceed with building out the various spaces.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Made and installed the trim over the bath door to hold the ceiling up.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Going out to buy more supplies &#8211; lumber, shower curtain hooks, vent covers, paint, etc.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Went down to the storage lot at 7:15 since it had cooled off but it got dark by 8:00.\u00a0 I removed the 3 old plumbing vent covers and did first pass cleanup of the area around them.\u00a0 The refrigerator vent is pretty rusty and it looks like it is not sealed real well so started taking it off but several screws will not budge so drill and easy-out tomorrow.\u00a0 Also, the antenna needs to come off and be sealed all around it &#8211; tomorrow too?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Carol thinks the passenger side buffing is done except for a small strip at the top.\u00a0 Much easier to do in the evening.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 23rd<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Started morning by removing refrigerator vent and old antenna.\u00a0 The vent is in pretty bad shape so will look for another.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Worked on the kitchen cabinet &#8211; getting close.\u00a0 Bought a refrigerator vent but don&#8217;t know if I like it.\u00a0 Will call Jim K tomorrow to see what he has.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 24th<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><!-- index.php

class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Changed my mind about waiting for another vent &#8211; rain started showing up in the forecast and it (the vent) looks OK.\u00a0 Installed 3 plumbing vents, patched (with aluminum flashing) the 2&#8243; hole left from the antenna, sealed around the Create-a-Breeze, and installed the refrigerator vent.\u00a0 Put a couple more screws in the most forward ceiling panel and switched from buttons to washers in that panel to see what we like best.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Took the coach down from the rear ramps and put them under the front to prepare for the shroud replacement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Got the refrigerator doors off so we can now cover them in the maple veneer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Carol got the table edges refinished &#8211; sanded, stained and a couple of coats of poly.\u00a0 We will use it for now.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Worked on the kitchen cabinet &#8211; made the slide out that will hold the counter extension and fit around the sink.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 25<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hope to get the old fan shroud off today.\u00a0 Maybe start working on the new one?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Got it off along with two of the 4 brackets.\u00a0 One of the remaining brackets is on the same bolt as the A\/C compressor and the other, also on the passenger side is involved with the axle.\u00a0 Had a bit of a time getting the new one on &#8211; still have to go and buy some bolts and other stuff to finish.\u00a0 Also, had to remove (again) the fan and clutch &#8211; ugh.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Will work on the refrig panels and the drawers for the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">OK, got the refrig panels veneered and installed the drawer slides.\u00a0 Dr. appointment today &#8211; will stop at Ace to get bolts to complete shroud install &#8211; so that&#8217;s all for now.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 26<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Got the bolts so will put it all back together this morning.\u00a0 Will probably work on drawers for kitchen but my back hurts and we are hosting a taco party tonight so will quit early.\u00a0 Anniversary tomorrow &#8211; 23 years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Got the shroud in and took it for a ride &#8211; still runs hot according to the temp gauge but I am curious about why the fan clutch &#8211; now the AC Delco 15-4644 &#8211; does not come on until the gauge reads 235 to 240.\u00a0 Carl Stouffer thinks that maybe the radiator is plugged so that no water is passing through it and it doesn&#8217;t get the fan clutch hot enough to turn on.\u00a0 Steve Ferguson thinks that the temp gauge is wrong and that the radiator is probably working OK since we should be hearing stuff &#8211; like pinging &#8211; if we are really running that hot.\u00a0 He suggests getting a good mechanical temp gauge like an Autometer, or Stewart-Warner.\u00a0 Next week.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 27<\/p>\n<p>Installed the newly covered refrigerator panels this morning and they look great.\u00a0 Will get some photos asap.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tomorrow: work on the kitchen cabinet &#8211; drawers and then give it to Carol to sand and varnish.\u00a0 Get some cardboard to make template for side to sidewall curve.\u00a0 Buy mechanical temp gauge.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">June 28<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview

was going slow.\u00a0 The temp did drop when the fan was on as opposed to the way it seemed with the old temp gauge.\u00a0 I think the radiator has a problem &#8211; will talk to Steve Ferguson and Tom at AZ Mobile Mech. to see what my options are.\u00a0 Also will check on why the Tracker&#8217;s rear tires are wearing so badly.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Assembled the face frames for the upper

installing another trim piece over the closet, installing the battens on the seams in the aisle, re-attaching the Create-a-Breeze trim piece.\u00a0 Carol will wash the walls to be painted and we will

if I can stand the heat &#8211; the humidity is getting higher lately.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Did some work on the upper cabinets &#8211; cut the plywood bottoms and backs for all of them and now to figure out how to join the backs to the bottoms at the 10 degree angle required.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">July 2<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Assembling upper cabinets.\u00a0 Made the ends and middle pieces from a template rescued from one of the old cabinets.\u00a0 Using biscuits and glue &#8211; maybe some screws with wood filler plugs at the back.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Got all the pieces cut for the 4

&#8211; measure for kitchen doors and drawers in case I need more work to do while Tom has it.\u00a0 Rework wiring behind kitchen counter for outlet and microwave &#8211; bought shallow boxes so they

and cut most of the vertical pieces &#8211; discovered that the vertical dimension will be different if there is a cabinet in front &#8211; if no cabinet the valance will be taller to cover the old

counter top with Formica.\u00a0 Installed the valances and shades on the two front windows.\u00a0 Removed the large valance on back window so we can try to trim it narrower.\u00a0 Went to the plumbing shop to get some parts to plumb the sink but no luck &#8211; I don&#8217;t know what size the pipes are in the GMC so I don&#8217;t want to cut them &#8211; will probably just put the &#8216;P&#8217; trap under the sink like it used to be.\u00a0 Now to figure out how to make the door valance, trim the large valance in the back and hang the upper cabinets.\u00a0 Right&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>July 20<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cut down the depth on the rear valance to try to improve interference with sleeping space.\u00a0 Put 1\/2&#8243; rounded front edge on kitchen countertop.\u00a0 Did edge work on all doors and drawer fronts.\u00a0 Reinstalled rear valance and installed new shade into it along with the two side shades in bedroom.\u00a0 Started figuring out how to mount upper cabinets.\u00a0 Called Sandy&#8217;s West and they have 1 1\/4&#8243; ABS pipe and fittings so I will be able to manufacture my own p-trap.<\/p>\n<p>Plan for tomorrow is to begin or even finish mounting the upper cabinets.\u00a0 Go to lumber yard and get more maple for stuff that is left &#8211; countertop extension, wire channel covers.\u00a0 Go to Sandy&#8217;s West for plumbing parts needed to plumb kitchen sink.\u00a0\u00a0 Get bolts and nuts needed to install couch, dinette and upper cabinets.<\/p>\n<p>July 21<\/p>\n<p>Still working on mounting the upper cabinets &#8211; designed and installed rear spacers so valances can fit behind them, have an idea how to do the top spacer and do the initial attachment to the ceiling.\u00a0 Carol is varnishing the doors and drawer fronts.\u00a0 I bought the plumbing items and the lumber and the bolts to get close to finishing the project.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tomorrow &#8211; hang the upper cabinets (help needed for this) &#8211; plumbing, counter top, stove, sink.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">July 22<\/p>\n<p>I finally got the upper cabinets hung.\u00a0 It was not just a matter of duplicating the old mountings because I wanted the valances to go all the way around the window and there was not enough room for it (2&#8243;) in the old mounting.\u00a0 I made the rear mounting rib wider and that pushed the cabinet out.\u00a0 Pushing the cabinet out made the dimension of the upper mounting rib change so I had to remake one of them and I had to use a less than ideal profile on the other.\u00a0 I should have made a mock-up of the cabinet profile and used that to determine the dimensions &#8211; next time ;-)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>July 23<\/p>\n<!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview

tomorrow I plan to install the cabinet doors and drawer fronts and, hopefully, get started on prepping for the floor.<\/p>\n<p>July 24<\/p>\n<!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview

doors and drawer fronts on kitchen and upper cabinets.\u00a0 Took the upper cabinet off and installed it again!!\u00a0 We decided that the microwave was going to stick out too far &#8211; about 4&#8243; &#8211; and wouldn&#8217;t look good so we took it down and cut out the back to allow the microwave to slide in and unfortunately we only gained about 2&#8243; more inward.\u00a0 Now there should be about 2&#8243; overhang and I&#8217;ll make it look good &#8211; I hope.\u00a0 Got started prepping for the floor.\u00a0 Took the carpet off the steps and found a rotten spot that opens to the driver&#8217;s side wheel well &#8211; about 6 x 8.\u00a0 I am going to patch it but I am not going to worry too much since it will not show anyway &#8211; it will be under the foot of the couch.\u00a0 Removed lots of staples and cleaned it all up.\u00a0 Some rotten spots but not much to worry about so I will just leave them since they are not under traffic areas &#8211; in the kick area of the closet and the corners next to the first step.\u00a0 Put the first two courses of flooring together &#8211; looks great and we should be able to get it done easily by tomorrow.\u00a0 Also got the sink drain connected today &#8211; no leaks but I don&#8217;t know how well it will drain since not much slope due to the deep sink.\u00a0 Tomorrow is Sunday and I usually take the day off and we figure out something that we both want to do but no time so at least some work tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>July 25<\/p>\n<!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview

the floor everywhere except for the step which has to get fixed and under the bed which may or may not get installed.\u00a0 Back hurts too much to do more today.\u00a0 Tomorrow will install the couch and dinette and maybe install the pantry door.\u00a0 Bolting the couch and dinette down requires putting the coach up on the ramps at Ed&#8217;s and that is the time to change the oil too. Also have to salvage usable stuff from the old upper cabinets and tossing the remainder into Ed&#8217;s dumpster.\u00a0 That will clean out much of Plocher&#8217;s garage.<\/p>\n<p>July 26<\/p>\n<p>Had to spend time this morning installing some patio lighting for a former neighbor who is returning while we are gone and who has already paid me.\u00a0 Cut and installed the Pergo on the step to the flight deck.\u00a0 Cut the FRP and the foil insulation for the two risers.\u00a0 Went on a trip to get more paint for the FRP and to get the stair nose pieces, bolts to hold the couch and dinette down, and oil and a filter for the oil change that we must do before we leave.\u00a0 Tomorrow, finish the stairs and install the couch and dinette pedestals and maybe the pantry door.<\/p>\n<p>July 27<\/p>\n<p>Finished the steps today and installed the noses.\u00a0 Cleaned up the old cabinets and threw them out &#8211; Ed&#8217;s dumpster.\u00a0 Put the couch and pedestals in the coach and it looks good.\u00a0 Made the drawers and installed the slides in the openings before we put it in the coach.\u00a0 Also installed the pantry door &#8211; needs a catch.\u00a0 Tomorrow install the drawers and drawer fronts after the couch is bolted down &#8211; plan to change the oil during the bolt down process.\u00a0 Also, make a piece of plywood to set across the top of the couch drawers and serve as a place to put a pillow and be a foot rest.\u00a0 After all that is done make the wire cover molding and install the lights.<\/p>\n<p>July 28<\/p>\n<p>Tried putting drawers in under couch and broke one side of one of the drawer guides.\u00a0 Took the coach down to Ed&#8217;s and up on ramps for oil change, drain excess fluid from tranny and bolt chair pedestals and couch to floor.\u00a0 Needed longer bolts for chairs and then found needed even longer bolts for couch so not quite done yet.\u00a0 Working on installing microwave.\u00a0 Found that I can run one air conditioner using a heavy duty extension cord from a standard 20 amp circuit.\u00a0 Got the oil changed and drained some excess tranny fluid by removing vacuum modulator after running and then shutting down engine to make sure that the torque converter was full.\u00a0 Finally got the furniture bolted down and got the Honda seats attached to the pedestals.\u00a0 Repaired and painted the old door bottom panel &#8211; install tomorrow.\u00a0 Also had to cut the OEM table down again because the floor got 5\/8&#8243; higher.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow: cut the foot rest plywood pieces for the couch drawers, make the wire cover moulding, install some lights, install the bottom door panel.\u00a0 Install shelves in 3 of the cabinets using stuff from old cabinets.<\/p>\n<p>July 29<\/p>\n<!--
