Well, Jim decided to go see the cabinetmaker, Michael, and take a few pictures so we could update this webpage. . . . .and
. . . . . and he caught Michael hard at work!! The cabinets are framed and in the Tear, and there's just a little more to do before it comes home again!! This picture shows the configuration (without the doors!) There will be four drawers at the bottom - 2 long, 2 short - and under the sink will be room for grey water, and a 5 gallon tank with water to pump into the sink.Continuing on up, you see the counter space with the sink, installed. And then further up, you see two holes that will have doors on them. This will be cupboard space that can be accessed from either outside or from inside of the Tear. (If I get hungry at night, all I have to do is open the door and grab the chips! Good thinking, huh??)
I took this picture from inside of Michael's shop. It gives a pretty good overall picture of the installation. As an important note here, this is very rough. There are refinements that are not installed yet. For instance, Michael is talking about a rack across the back of the counter to hold spices, paper plates, etc.OK that's your preview! Next update will be when this gem returns home!It's going to be so-o-o-o cool!!
