Countertop complete

We finished laminating the countertop!

We just bought a roll of slate print laminate to attach to our plywood counter. It was actually pretty easy to install. We didn’t take any process pictures, but there’s a tutorial on youtube that we leaned pretty heavily on, and I highly recommend it if you’re looking to try this instead of buying an already finished countertop.

This had the added bonus of allowing us to use a little of the excess laminate to make our refrigerator match the counter.

In other news, our woodstove has arrived!

It’s a cool little gasifier woodstove originally designed for use in boats. It’s really tiny with minimal clearances, and uses small stove pipe, so it’ll be a great fit. There’s lots more info here. It still remains to be seen whether we work on installing this next, or our electrical system.

Either way, we start attaching our ceiling tomorrow, so things are about to get weird. Brace yourself.

Roughing out appliances

Just a peek for now – nothing is attached or permanent, but after we made the cut outs in the counter we plopped things into place to see what it will look like. From left to right, we have our propane cooktop, our 12v fridge, our deep sink, and our hot water heater. Not much room for storage left over, but nearly all of our appliances fit neatly into this tiny space.

Today was a rest day for us, since we work through the weekends we’ve taken to using Wednesdays as our day off. Things are moving along briskly, and it’s a good thing, since the weather is starting to get brisk as well. We attached the ladder to the back of the bus, making access to the deck much easier. No more clambering up the hood!
