Building the Vardo…
Monday, November 16th, 2009Gallery update with a few new photos. Go see the gallery.
We’ve completed staining, primed and gotten the first coat of paint on. Unfortunately it got too cool yesterday to put on the second coat of paint or put poly on the stained parts. So we built a mock up of the bed box (or at least the top anyway).
Hopefully we can warm the barn up enough to do the final coat of exterior paint next weekend. Then I can start on the door, windows and window cover. After that it’s the bed box that gets built.
Looks like we’ll make Thanksgiving weekend to at least spend the night in it. Granted it will be in the barn where we’ll be building it since the Vardo is not on wheels yet, but it’ll still be cool!
We also bought the Reflectix insulation on Sunday since it was on sale at nearly 50% off. Now we need to decide on the inside cloth as well so we can pick the inside paint color so that it plays off of that.
More soon
