I've been really bad about this. It's hard for me to make the time to document this project because balancing the desire to work hard, be a good father and husband, and build for the future is a real challenge.  Progress comes so slowly in all those realms that I often forget to stand back and look at my accomplishments in order to frame them against the mountain of goals that remain ahead. I made the time today because I ran out of materials and it's raining, so I can't go get more. And we're broke!

The kitchen's hood vent is installed. 

Steve also completed the bathroom cabinet and I installed it before beginning the frame work for the shelves that will be accessible from inside the bathtub/shower. That little nook where you see the level leaning is where the towels will hang. I hope to prime this room in the morning and lay the hardy backer down on the floor whenever it stops raining and I can make a supply run. 

I hung the door into the girls bedroom. The void space at the header is left blank because I am waiting for the ventilation fans that I ordered to come in.  Because there is no ductwork in this   trailer, I had to come up with a way to circulate air from the rooms on the ends to the center where the Mini-Split A/C and Heater is located. The little fans that I bought will cycle about 60cu. feet of air every 15 minutes. My hope is that this will keep the bedrooms almost as cool as the main living area in the summer without a lot of noise. 

I rebuilt my childhood mini-bike for my girls. It scoots along pretty well, so we're in the market for some cool helmets that they can personalize. Mae said she wanted to paint a giant flaming eyeball one hers. That's my girl!!

Flooring creeping forward. 

I replace the word philosopher with whatever I want, and apply this concept broadly. Just some toilet reading. 

75% complete flooring.  Ran out of material and started blogging.
