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!!!
