You all are too kind! I'm just a simple man creating his dream and loving every minute of it! I have gotten a lot of ideas after viewing some of the great ones. I don't have room to mention names, because there's a bunch of them!

Remember, pictures don't show everything! ;)

The Grand Opening will occur when I'm finished! :lol:

Our first remodel! Yeah you read it right, haven't finished the interior but just had to enlarge the pantry for additional storage. I'll finish installing the other five drawers today. I started the project yesterday morning, would have had it completed but I ran out of material! Go figure!

I made the frames with the cabinet rails attached, so all I had to do was secure and measure for width. The drawers are snug, which I wanted anyway. I'll install a latch on the outside at the top of the pantry door to secure them while underway.

We new we would have to do this when we moved into the bus this last March. It was a quick move, so we decided that now was time. I have to get as much accomplished as I can before I start my college classes on the 31st of August. 8-)

We finally have our four new Hehr insulated windows in our hands. What a remarkable journey they have been on, from Bontragers to cody's house in MI, back to Bontragers, then onto John Rigby's trailer heading to Phoenix AZ, then to Abilene TX. Wheewww! Not one chip or broken pane! Thanks John and Tami!

Now all I need is cooler weather to start the install and the time to do so!
