The Dinette Table

Putting the metal band back on after the new laminate is installed.
This is the same laminate that was used to make the upper cabinet slider doors.
Close up, and truest representation of the color (on my monitor anyway).

Kitchen Cabinets - Before and After

Kitchen Cabinets - Before
Kitchen - During
Close up of the original Formica on the kitchen counter.
It is not perfect, but it is too cool to scrap, so it will be staying.
Upper cabinets reinstalled after the new ceiling wood was installed.
Another view, after shellac at ceiling and end cap by range.
Close up of the kitchen drawers

Tires, Underside, Roof, Close Up of Paint and Entry Door

The tire are in excellent condition.
The undercarriage, looking towards the front.
The undercarriage - front street side looking toward the rear.
The roof - hard to see in the picture.
Close up of Paint - Not perfect
Close up of door locks - New Deadbolt, Original Bargman Door Handle has been refurbished.
Picture also shows the repairs made by the prior owner.
Not the prettiest door in the world, but it functions perfectly and is weather tight.

The Overhead Cabinet - Refinished, New Sliding Doors

The overhead cabinet above the front window was removed to install the new wood at the side walls
Before sanding and new shellac
Getting ready to apply the laminate to the wood for the slider doors
Reinstalled, with new shellac and sliding doors installed.
The center stile is where the gas light will go.
Hard to capture the laminate in pictures, it is a neutral, yet has a textured design.
Here is an extreme close up of the laminate.
