Just completed 2 projects on my bus, the dinette and the microwave enclosure, the dinette bases are wired for internet and have electrical outlets built in with the central vacuuming outlet hidden out of site connecting to the canister in the bay, I also wired in nightlights that shine down and across the floor with a dimmer switch under the cushion overhang and the table drops down for sleeping. The bases have storage under them. The refrigerator is now built in with a vented cabinet over it holding the microwave, the cabinet has a power vent thats thermostatically controled so if it gets warm it power vents the heat outside.
Nice job Cody!!!! Bet you feel good about that!!!
What's next?
Happy Trails,

Thanks, I'm kind of proud of how it turned out, the next project will be the bathroom.
Great looking work, man! I'm sure I'll be talking to you when I'm ready for my bus..when I get it, that is. :)

Very nicely done! Making the rest of us proud.
Great job Cody, from what I can see in the pics, you have a very nice bus.
Frank
Great work! Looks like you're getting closer.

Cody,
Great Job, your dinette looks straight out of a high end home furnishings magazine. Very stylish with the accent lighting.

Thanks guys, here is a pic of one of the bases, I used a formica laminate so it would be easy to clean and the pic shows the oak accents and the rounded front.
Nice job. I really like the floor in the dinette area.
The floor is an oak parquet.
Cody,
Nice work!
Its a pleasure to look at your project.
Cliff
Very good arrangement & nice work.
I know you are happy that is done to move on to next project.
Thanks for sharing and good idea of venting unwanted refrigerator's heat.
If not already installed or in future plan, you may want to add a outside inlet thorough floor under refrigerator condenser to make up for low pressure while exhaust fan running.
Keep up the good work!
Sojourn for Christ, Jerry
Jerry, the refigerator has got a large vent at the bottom in the front for an air pickup at floor level, hopefully that will be enough, I tryed to cover any issues that might come up as far as the engineering goes, my wife says I specialize in over kill lol.
:o
Oh Lord of the Wood.
Wouldest thou commuth to New Mexicouth. and maketh Noise withth mine Saw ?
Thou art blesseduth with the Wood art mastery.. ;D
;)
Beautiful.. stuff !!!!
Cody- great workmanship! I like the cantelevered effect on the seats. But- why no window where the dinette is? The dinette is both a wonderful place to look out when eating or to sit when going down the road. I hope you install one-and make it a BIG window. We have 32" tall windows and simply love them. Good Luck, TomC
Tom, I plan on adding a window by the dinette, it's all set up for it, just a money thing right now. I figure to get all penninsula glass dual pane sliders for the bus but for now I've got a pretty tight budget to work with so the windows will come, one at a time.

If you need multiples of the same size windows, you'll get far better pricing on the Penninsula/Motion Windows by buying them all at once. I ended up doing all six of my windows the same size as I got a huge price break that way. I thought about smaller windows in the back, but they were the same price as the big ones or more after the discount got smaller on the big ones.
Beautiful job, Cody. You're either making me jealous or motivated, and I'm not sure which one yet!!! :)
Progress reports really appreciated.

You have done better yet...very good idea.
About wife.....I am sure she know how talent you are and appreciate of more comforting in the long run such as keep unwanted extra condenser heat in hot days.
Take Care, Jerry
