Renovating the Turtle - 1990 Winnebago Warrior Micro Mini

[Jnic67]

This is the second renovation of the Turtle.  After living in it for 2 1/2 years, I decided that there are some things I don't use and therefore don't need.  So, I decided to start a renovation...that has now developed a life of it's own.  It started with taking out a few things...bench seats, shower, water heater, fridge (all of which worked but it turned out I didn't use much or at all).  It morphed into removing EVERYTHING.  I even moved the hole for the toilet!  

I found some Birdseye Maple in the second's bin at Menard's, and my project became all about wood.  Not sure how many pics I can post, but I'll show you what I can.  All of the trim and a few miscellaneous boards that aren't seen, are pine.  Everything else is birdseye  The countertop, which I haven't put in yet, is birdseye as well.  

Along the way, I had to do a few side projects that I hadn't counted on...like wallpaper liner and my current cabover nightmare.  And, I also decided to paint the outside so I could protect the exterior from any more degradation.  

 

It's been a long, crazy trip!  But, I've loved every minute...up until the cabover.  Love my Turtle!!!
