What's this? A teardrop update!

What year is this? It's the new year, 2016, and well into it. I haven't had any regular updates, but there has been some work done on Teardrop II. There's also been a lot of not-work days. It's been a busy Winter of all things, mostly work related. Anyway, I'll take us back to November 4th, where I ratcheted the front curve of outer plywood down a bit more in the photos below.

I have since screwed it down flush and cut the 14" x 14" square hole for the vent fan. It'll fit a standard RV 12v fan that I'll order some day soon. Below you can see the progress.

I've also set upon the galley drawer faces, which I'd cut fresh from 3/4" Birch plywood I still had in stock. Below are photos of those, the dimensions are as spec in the Generic Benroy plans.

Ah, cozy days in the garage with the heater burning in the background. Speaking of some of the more homelike touches, I also began to finish the rough cut cabin doors by sanding and laying some polyurethane coats down.

Let's extend that treatment to the galley doors. In the next photo is the drying rack for all of these items above, the galley drawer faces and doors and the cabin doors. The drying rack is really just some junk spanning some other random juts and objects in the garage.

One of the other various Home Depot trips netted another piece of conduit that could fit the ceiling to electrical raceway. Remember this (more myself than you), it's 3/4" PVC. Here's the evidence below.

Finally, I have to leave you with photos of the honorary shop cat and a view from my camp chair in the garage.

Here's to more building soon, cheers!
