Great photo. The build is looking good, I'm really interested to see your cabinet work in the Troopy.

I took a break from woodwork yesterday, and "installed" everything in the car, just to see if it will fit 
and it does, but only just! Here is a pic of the mock-up
So this morning I had to take everything out and start to glue and clamp away again.
Have a GREAT week!!!

I'll cover the bench in carpet, but the cupboards and drawers will be painted.

Welcome home!
There is not too much to see yet, as I took everything apart again to be clamped and glued. We are home over the weekend, so you are most welcome - and bring pics of the holiday!!!
Nothing else to do while I wait for my Troopy, so went to Kruger Park to take pictures (hence new avatar!).
Spent a week being driven around in a LC but got lots of good sightings, including leopard on every day so I am happy!

The build is really going much slower than I anticipated, but that is mainly because we're not home much After fitting everything, I decided that I'll have to rebuild the "tall" cupboard to make it 5 cm narrower, otherwise Jan might not be able to put the seat back far enough when he is driving. My house have now been taken over by drawers and drawers and more drawers 
They all have to be sanded and painted...
The last cupboard has been glued and clamped, so there is light at the end of the tunnel
Have a blessed week!

And although it has nothing to do with my Troopy, cutting off it's roof inspired my husband to "build" himself a Prado bakkie. I believe it is called a pick-up in America and a ute in Australia. I think he did an amazing job!!! It is the cutest thing and it handles beautifully.
Wicked!! I love it. Although in Canada it would fit in the back of a pick up. J
Cupboards looking good.
I know the feeling of never finding time to stay at home to finish these things.
We too a little breakaway this last weekend in what will probably be the last camping trip in the Audi/RTT combo. We are now down to 42 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes to delivery time!
PS dont know what I am doing as I cannot seem to get the image in the post itself (and i've tried all the help threads in vain
so I just added it below.
