Thursday - All Overhead Framing Done

Today was a very late start, still not well and didn't sleep much last night. I was determined to get the overhead framing done today, and apart from a few very minor matters, they're all done. I tackled the cupboard over the cab first and put it as far forward as I could. I want to be able to get from the cab to the back so I didn't want the cupboard over the cab to stick into the living space too far. Even so, I've already hit my head on the thing twice. All of the undersides of the cupboards except over the kitchen bench will be padded & upholstered to match the lounge and dinette cushions. This might help prevent further brain damage when I hit my head on them.

This pic shows the cupboard over the cab. This will have side hinged doors also. It is a great spot for an LCD TV too. You can see it from everywhere in the bus except the toilet, but nothing a window wouldn't fix. OK looking out, not so good looking in! The 45 degree pieces on each end are to give me something to affix the panelling to.

This is the completed framing for the shelf on the right side of the bus. This will be upholstered on the underside and like all the other cupboards and lined on the top with carpet tile to stop stuff moving around unnecessarily.

This is the completed framing for the overhead shelf between the cab and the door. Depending on what goes on this, it will need some support on the end closest to the camera. I intend putting a decorative rail along the edges about 100mm high. Not sure of what yet. Another day done and time for a rest. I hope I'll feel better tomorrow, here's hoping.
