Got quite a bit done this weekend. I cut in the latches for the drawers. That was stupid hard to get right. I only messed up on one drawer. I originally glued in a piece of wood thinking that i’d need to set these back a bit but I didn’t take into account that they are made for the exact thickness of the cabinet door. So I fired up the router and routed the chunk of wood out a a bit. The metal tabs and screws were pretty weak, I broke off several screws even after pre-drilling the holes. The latches look amazing but they took 8 hours to install 8 of them.

I also added more structure into the shower area to glue in the panels. Then I drilled holes for the plumbing in the tile board. I built the box around the water tank a bit. Still not sure what I’m going to do over this area. I’m thinking a box built in with a lid and maybe some kinda shelving unit that can hold those fabric cubes so the kids can use them as dressers.

I also went to screw the sink down and realized that there is supposed to be a lower area below the screw holes. So I glued in some cutoffs back around where the screws go in and let sit overnight. Then I drilled holes and fastened the sink down.

I also tested out the welder a bit. It works pretty darn well. After some more practice I think it’ll be on to the black tank frame.
