Slightly concussed

So I started doing some of the preliminary work on the cabinets tonight when my head was suddenly introduced to something hard and unforgiving for the second time this week.  I managed not to get any blood on the trailer, but I decided to retreat into the house.  Perfect timing for blog updates.

 Here's a few pictures of the hatches.  These things were a pain in the ass.  That's stained oak lining the compartments and serving as a support, and a sheet of aluminum on the inside for some swoop factor.

These will be perfect for storing all sorts of contraband and other nonsense the authorities don't approve of.

 Ahh yes, another shot of the hatches.  I've seen other teardrop makers turn these make this a location to place a portable toilet, but that's really not my style.  I'm the only shit that's going to be allowed accommodations in this thing.

Here are the hatches shown shut, and the flooring.  They almost look hidden, with the exception of those huge stainless hinges giving them away.  I haven't decided what kind of handles or pulls I'm going to put on these yet.  Don't worry, I will find something completely tacky and garish to add for effect.

 Holy progress, batman.  It looks like I've got the ceiling framing in.  Looks like I'm not to far away from starring in that tv show about the gypsies who live in their trailers that my mom is always talking about.  All I need now is a cooler of beer and some cheap lawn chairs to throw in front of this thing.

 Notice the framing for the "Fantastic" fan that I am going to add  This is supposed to be the most bad-ass fan that you can buy for these things.  Reversible fan direction, comes with a light in it, and could probably be used as a backup fan for a swamp craft. Only the finest equipment for my caravan.

Add witty and clever caption here.

 Oh man, looks I've got the interior lid in.  It's 1/8" luan with a light maple hue.  The rest of the top will be covered in an inch and a half of insulation and covered in aluminum.  I spent alot of time getting that thing in so that it was one piece, so no seams.

Here is an attempted shot at the inside of the cabin after putting the ceiling in.  Notice the light colored lid, and the dark walls.... definitely interior decorating here.  Just wait until I get the tapestries on the walls, and the bear skin blanket that will cover my NASA foam mattress when I am done.  Perfection.

You may have to hold your head like an ostrich to get an idea of what this looks like.

Check out the bracket that will be house the shutoff switches for the entire trailer.  They are 30 amp switches.  I made that thing with a drill press and some angle I had laying around.  It doesn't look like a hack made it when you look at in person, but the audience should know better.  That inline fuse is so that I don't burn the whole trailer down when my 25 amp coffee maker kicks on in the morning after I turn it on with my Arduino poowered key fob.
