Time to move

 Winter is a funny time of year. It is so beautiful. There is nothing more nourishing to my soul than to step outside into a -20C temp with a clear blue bird sky. One deep breath and you feel alive! Yet if you're not careful the short days and long dark nights can lull you into a slumber. You leave for work in the dark, get home from work in the dark, and you sort of loose your creative mojo. So before I fall into more of a uninspired creative funk than I already have...it's time to move.
 With so much to do it's hard to decide where to begin! After an embarrassing amount of time I decided it is time to start to prepare for the roof rack installation
 Its been 2 years since I had this fabricated. It's been patiently waiting for my attention. The first order of business was to unpack and assess.
Unfortunately, after so much time between panning and install. I had forgotten what I need to continue on. This will have to be put to the side while I wait for some parts.

 In the meantime I have lots of projects to do. Next is to plan out the cook top and associated cabinet. And as we all know a good planning session requires lots of good coffee, some snacks...
 and the greatest minds on your team whom happen to be awake this early in the morning.



















As you can see last year before Grey Owl I temporarily installed the passenger side galley counter so we had a coffee station.

But now it is time to deconstruct and re-fabricate
 The pieces were all stripped apart and we started the design process over again....same but different





















With a few modifications. We need places for pots and pans, plates and cups, and all the accoutrements that you would expect for a weekend get away. Once the basic structure was made,


















 ...it was time to plan the drawers. Which on one hand is a simple box. On the other...I want some flare to it so it cranks up the complexity dial a little.



The drawer basics are done, and I'm quite happy with how they turned out. Now to add the flare and hopefully I don't have to scrap what I have and start anew.

You may remember this time last year I found a  wee problem I had been checking things out and found a significant break in my flywheel hous...
