WEEK TWENTY-FIVE: 3D Modeling & Holiday Hiatus
Impending work deadline + busy holiday = essentially no work done this week. Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! 3D Modeling I managed to set up a base model that incorporates each of the components I've been building as I go (rear bedroom wall, kitchenette, bathroom cabinets, rear futon coming soon...) featured in previous posts. This will be used for interior studies but most importantly serve as a documented as-built model.

In the end I hacked the rotted plywood off layer by layer and I'm hoping to get at the flange with a Sawzall this coming week, at which point a new adapted fitting should work just fine. Kitchen Cou
