Happy new year ya'll, I got some more done on the Bago today. almost have all the ceiling done.

Lots of folks come here with project RVs that don't get done so most members are skeptical.

Your work looks great and you are very fast. Quite impressive!

Thanks, i am hoping to have it done by the end of this month. but who knows, it's getting a lot colder and my shop is even a few degrees colder in the day then the out side temp since it is a steel building with a concrete floor. cold tools are no fun. got a wood stove but it seems I spend more time to get it burning good, then I do working. unless it warms up some more today. I probably won't be doing anything to it. but then again you never know. I am almost done with the ceiling so I would like to finish that up today if it warms up a few more degrees. it's 43 here right now and 12:56 p.m.

The ceiling is now complete. next is remove the large side window on the passengers side and install the new wall panels in the back bed room, then do the bath room walls and paint the over head cabinets.

Got some more work done yesterday when it warmed up some. I still have to remove the window from the out side and cut the panel opening to fit, then reinstall the window. also have to replace the screen in the window.

I got the rear bedroom window cut out in the bago. now have to replace the screen in the window, then reinstall it. cold weather is slowing me down some. but It's coming along.

I rehabed a slide-in camper some time back, 1997 or so. Those FRP panels were great, Used them in the tiny wet bath, and also on the outside underneath area that slides into the truck bed. Fortunately the rest of the interior walls were in good shape sd was wiring etc, so did not have to go to the extent you are going through.
You mentioned the cabinets you could not pull. I found some cabinets, in my case the overhead babinet that the front dropped to become a bunk was solid in there. Some items are screwed in from outside before the outer skin goes on. In my case, it was pretty much coming out, so a hacksaw bplade inserted between it and the wall made short work of the screws.

well I didn't get any pics today, but i did at least get the old sealant scraped off the window opening and i cut a new section of screen to replace the torn screen in the rear side window. so at least I got something done today.

got some more done on the Bago today, been to cold to work on it last week.

 

[Merlin TC]

I got the bedroom walls finished today and the rear window reinstalled. just have to do the walls in the bathroom and all the walls and ceiling will be complete.

 

[Merlin TC]

well got some more done today, finished off the bathroom wall and reinstalled the exit window. making progress.

I got a bit more done to the bathroom today, but my awesome wife knocked it out of the park with redoing the back bedroom overhead cabinet doors.

 

[Merlin TC]

got the bathroom finished off as well as I can today. put the mattress back in place. and removed the front over head Cabinet doors so my wife can go over them like she did the other doors. needless to say i missed my january dead line to make my trip to Florida for a private war bird fly-in, but at least I am still making progress each day.

 

[Merlin TC]

well I had not done much to the Bago in awhile, started working on it again some this week. wired in some new LED lights and installed the kitchen faucet. trying to trace out a few electrical issues. not getting power to the bathroom light and the light on the bedroom wall. anyway here are a few pics of what I got done.
