Monday - Not Much Done

To say that I feel sick today is an understatement. Suffering from a real bad cough and not feeling well all weekend really. I managed to build the dinette seat for the left side of the bus. Once again I built it outside thanks to the pocket hole system.

I couldn't install it because I need to remove the automatic door opener which is bolted to the floor. This is a 2 person job, one under the bus holding the bolts and someone inside undoing them. No one to help at the moment. However the seat is built and ready to install. Other than that, all I've done is cut plywood for the top of one of the seats, and begin the framing to go around the bed/lounge under the windows.

The three pics sum up todays work. The rain came and that was it for me. I hope to get more done tomorow.
The Dinette seat completed.

Frames like this will go onto the bed/lounge on three sides. They will be panelled and have a small shelf on the top. They serve mainly as a backrest for the seat backs as well as finishing the lounge so it looks good. I'm making this one removeable so I can get at the wiper motor if I need to.

That's it for now.
