Deconstruction Man

With less than 90 days until we launch the "Voyager" I better quit lounging around and get inside to do some serious outfitting.

Pam and I used the Motor home for the couple of weeks that we had guests in the house.  It was not a full shake down, but did give me some idea of things I want to change or upgrade before we live in it full time.  Like the tiny kitchen drawers.

I've got some spare parts and drawer slides on my garage shelf, so the first upgrade it so rebuild the current "doll house" drawers into something a bit more useable.

Other ideas are to add some slide outs to a cabinet to make it easier to use, as well as a drop-down counter top so give the cook more space to use when creating gourmet dinners.

I have some bigger ideas, but we want to actually use the motor home for a month or so before I decide exactly what I'll do. I am hoping I can hit up my brother in Oregon and his larger wood shop for those changes.  (What do you say, Kirk?)

More things I need to do are smaller maintenance repairs, bad switch here, leaking shut off valve there, nothing major.

And about the name of the craft, it was officially re-christened, with a splash of cheap champagne, the "Voyager" after the Star Trek ship of the same name. (the one that was sent so far into deep space it took seven years to return to home port)  My daughter and her boyfriend gave us a set of decals to replace the factory name to make it official. Sweet huh!
