Every so often you have to step back and open the paint can.
Yeah it would be nice to just build, build, build, and that's how they do it in the factory, "Let some other poor sucker do the finish, we're here to assemble!". (That's my illustration of what they say. I don't know for sure. It's all just imagination.)
But as ticki2 said some time ago, painting the back wall before installing - well, that really resonated with me. And taking on that mind-set sure helped along the finishing process as I assembled.
So here we go again. Let's prime wood!
The first piece (and the cause of thinking what other pieces to do at the same time) was the front wall of the camper box. This piece got primer on the interior surface and all along the edges.
These next pieces are, in order of foreground to background: fridge shelf top and bottom (top for white primed utility area, bottom for bronze paint on ceiling of lowest storage compartment under the fridge), two fridge shelf support legs, w/cleats, all surfaces (again utility area white and also bronze where they are visible as cabinet walls below the fridge), propane cabinet floor piece, all surfaces (utility area white), and the shower pan shelf all surfaces (utility white for under shower compartment ceiling and for general water leakage protection, not that I will have any leaks :) )
This next three photos show the surfaces of the new combo "right side sub-box wall/bathroom interior wall/propane compartment back wall". That's quite a title! I couldn't even think of a catchy acronym for it - RSSBWBIWPCBW. That's even worse than the whole phrase! In future, I'll name it in relation to the room I'm working on. Oh, the picture also shows the under shower utility area, or my little basement. All nice utility white.
And the left side sub-box wall. The interior of this wall will get some bronze paint for it's part in playing the back wall of another interior storage compartment. The exterior of this wall - and it's counterpart over on the right side of the camper - will receive a 1/8" cap board overlapping the entire board including the floor edge (after the floor is replaced) and then both sides will be painted the same olive drab as the rest of the exterior box portions.
