Goin--I wish I was as handy as you. Why the holes in the shelf? Is that a skylight in the last picture? Nice sized.
The holes in the bottom shelf of the overcab wardrobe are for two reasons. These shelves sit flush with the top of the adjoining bin so I need to be able to lift the shelf to access the storage space underneath. The holes allow for both air circulation and a way to lift the boards. I was amazed at how much stuff I can keep in this space. In this space under the bottom shelf on just one side of the bed I store 4 rolls of paper towels, 3 boxes of tissues, and 6 rolls of toilet paper.
That is a skylight you see over the table in the last photo. It adds a lot of light but if I had ordered the camper I would not have gotten it. It is right at the top of the stairs so makes getting on top of the camper a bit more difficult. Of course this wouldn't be a problem if they'd put the ladder on the other side over the less visible kitchen window where it should be. But that's another story!
About the only tools I have for my woodworking projects is a ruler, a square, a couple clamps, a miter saw, and a 12V drill. Almost everything I've built can be removed without leaving visible holes. That way if it doesn't work out the way I think it should the first time or if I just change my mind on how it should be I can try again.
