Hey Paul... it is just tooooooo cute! :wub I'm surprised that even tho' it's an '86 and mine is a '96, they look remarkable alike. I love the upholstery and curtain colors in yours. Mine has green upholstery. You know, I like the solid upholstery colors of the older ones much better than the new ones. :wave Michele

Hi again... well, I wrote my last post after just having seen the "before" pics, not knowing there were "after" ones... I can't believe you did this all yourself! Makes my project of covering the walls in mine with quilted wall hangings and making a quilt for the bed seem pretty puny... Just curious, though... I see you got rid of the curtains and cushions. Are you making new ones? Going with the same color as B4? Or perhaps that's your wife's department... :wink This is so much fun.... kind of like making doll houses... I'm having a great time looking at everyone else's ideas and stuff.... Michele

Michelle - I do still have the cushions, but not the curtains. We looked at getting new cushions, but with foam and covers, it would have cost $75 per cushion, or $300. My foam was in good shape but smelly (cats). Likewise the covers. I took the covers off, cleaned fur off them, and laundered them twice. I then went over them thoroughly with duct tape to remove residual fur, and laundered them again. The cushions I cleaned one at a time by putting them in the bathtub with hot water and cleaners (my own witch's brew) and stomped on them for a couple hours to wash and rinse. They are still drying, but seem to smell ok now. Jenny is picking out new curtain material tomorrow. I've no idea what it'll be, as that's her department, but I requested no rainbow prints. :lol

Hey Paul,
I really like what you have done. :lol How did you attach and support the upper cabinets?

Hi Paul, wonderful job you did.

Since the start of this thread I wonder what the meaning is of:
I've gone legit!
legit is not in my online dictionary.
I did some googling and found:
LEGIT - The Lesbian & Gay Immigration Task Force - Canada
But it does'n't fit in the context.
Please help me ;-))))))

Legitimate.

'Legit' is short for 'legitimate.'

Interesting acronym you found, though!

It's 14h30. Temp 16C. Cloudy. Rainy. Windy.
In short: lousy weather overhere.
How are you?

Jamie - the upper cabinets are held in place by screws through the fiberglass shell, into the top of the face frame and into the shelf support rail. I was originally a bit concerned about hanging that weight on the roof, but once I got them in, I realized that since they are essentially one piece all the way around, they actually act like a header, and help support the roof.

Basic physics tells me that for an egg shape to sag in one place requires it it bow in another. The rigid cabinets help lock the egg shape in place, transferring the stress to the sidewalls, where it is a shear load. The cabinets are rock solid.
