Snow in June?

Snow in June (on a 90 degree day)??? Well, not really, it's PVC plastic. More on that later.

Since our window hanging activities, we have moved on to doors and tables.

After much figuring and scheming, I think I came up with a table/bed design that will work out well.

Table/Bed

The design calls for a fixed table on the starboard side, but I need an extra bunk. So my plan was to have a high/low table arrangement that can be lowered to fill in the gap and spread the bunk down the length. I just couldn't come up with an easy way of doing high/low until it finally hit me that I could use some heavy duty shelf supports. Those seem to work nicely. I'll have to beef up the table itself a little, but the brackets handled Dane laying on it no sweat.

From the table, we've moved to the front cabin door. I don't have a current picture with it in place, but I have the framing done and the basic panel cut. Still a lot of work to be done here for edges, door window, trim, etc., but you can actually nearly shut the door now.

Door Panel

The hardest part of the door was really fixing problems I had created earlier. Well, I guess I didn't create it, but the door posts "bowed" and were a couple of inches farther apart at the top than the bottom. This didn't happen until they had been there for a while. Guess if I had been faster and getting other bracing in place it would have been ok, but as it was, I had to cut some small filler stips to bring things back plumb.

On to the snow...

Saw Snow

I have a somewhat off the wall idea for rub-rails based around some PVC pipe that I have. I think it will work well, but that of course remains to be seen. Sometimes my "ideas" do well, and other times not. Anyhow, spent a bit of time cutting some PVC plastic. Makes a rather interesting pile of plastic snow which is kind of hard to clean up, along with a definite whiff of burnt plastic.

It did impress the neighbor kid with the snow in June!
