SR - I know you have been having computer problems and you will work this all out sooner than late - and I am happy to pass on my soft top that is HALF YOUR WIFE'S so you remember who owns the outside of it.

Still waiting for pics of it - I do not believe a word of it till I see it posted.

glad this allowed you to get what you needed brother in SS

no pics this round - drawers for the units are all double stained - sanded - polyurethaned - sanded - coated again - sanded - coated again for final finish.

Entire front end wood work in both are stained - re-sanded - stained again and ready for the stages of coating for final finish.

Plumbing internal components picked up - framework for tubs and toilets going in this weekend - should be able to test fresh water and hot water by Monday - just drain the fresh water to the ground.

Inverter/charger with the remote coming for #2 unit along with the T 400 amp fuses that will allow us to finish up the wiring for these. (diesel generators to purchase and install finishes the total electrical for the units that will be mounted in the upper cab racks)

Looking forward to Wreckermans day event to let these units stetch their feet and enjoy the labor in them by using them for once. Will not be totally ready but what is the sence in doing this without enjoying them.
Wreckerman here we comehere we come oh da do da day.

One unit is totally sealed with poly - you can see the drawers that are done and need to be placed back in. #2 unit is only on first coat of poly - needs re-sanding again and sealed again.

On the rear door of each - like M109Guy placed on his - a keyed door lock assembly is now installed on the back of both of these - this was a terrific idea borrowed from him - thanks M109guy.

Hole cut in floor for tub drain (#2) - platform built and rear wall plywood screwed on and installed prepping it for the tub and surround. This all just takes time and fitting as it is all custom. Tub in one unit is mounted - the tub surround has yet to be double adhesive tapped and attached - this will happen Monday. Then install the faucets.

Hooked up the hose to feed the valves to the tub to pressure test fitting - all worked without mishap
Frig for #1 unit ordered and inverter/charger coming for #2 unit - these will bring both units in the same build status - minus the tub in #1 unit.

Some of the pics are dark - raining here today but still quite warm.

This thread is going to be invaluable.... I've located an M109 box taken off a soon-to-be Voluteer Fire Department Brush-Fire Truck. I'm going to make them an offer or at least coax them to put it uup for bidding (Locally I hope).

If I successfully acquire it, I'll either mount it on a deuce or do a trailer with it. Hmmmm... The possibilities!!!

Here is an interior wood work finish of Dinger65 unit - other unit is only on first coat and sanding comes next.

Refrigerator is on its way for Dingers and yet to get a hot water heater.
Plans were to get both tub's in over the weekend - but the prime rib dinner I cooked up put the brakes on that one.

Got my surround all tapped in and have it braced to keep it solid against the wall so the silicone edges can dry.
Got what water tubing clamped up to the wall. Pics are above of what this looks like.

Even with drawings of what I have - like most others - still do not have or bought the right amount of pieces needed.
Few 90's here - a couple elbows there -
go figure - glad I do not have to take a wiz
while all this is going on.

Here is the plumbing and used the best RV type connectors possible that were available. Have to 90 into the hot water and feed from the outside outlet to the pump.
Pics are kind of out of my normal schedule - but it was nice out when I got home from work and did not want to miss what was eventually get covered up and someone scratch their head missing something.
