I'm measuring the space between ceiling frame rails to install the insulation



I'm using standard 4x8 foam sheets. They run about $9 a sheet. Here I'm measuring and preparing to cut



I want to make that the fit is snug so I ensure that all the metal is covered. I'm using piano wire strung between the framerails to secure the foam sheets.



Halfway there. Looking good. I can tell you that even with the AC blowing full tilt, it was stuggling to cool the trailer because of the crazy amount of heat that was radiating from the metal in the ceiling. It was warm to hotter than shitz depending on where I touched. The insulating should make a huge difference in cooling this sucka in a hurry. More to come. stay tuned.

Done with the ceiling insulation.



Front looks good



Back looks good



So does the middle



Okay I need some input. I need to come to a decision on cabinet placement. There are three options.

OPTION A:
PLACE ALL FOUR ON LEFT SIDE COVERED WITH 21 IN COUNTER WITH A 10 IN STAND ALONE COUNTER ON THE RIGHT



OPTION B:
PLACE TWO ON THE LEFT COVERED WITH A 21 IN COUNTER AND TWO ON THE RIGHT COVERED WITH A 21 IN COUNTER THAT GOES TO THE DOOR



OPTION C:
PLACE TWO ON THE LEFT COVERED WITH A 21 IN COUNTER AND TWO ON THE RIGHT REAR COVERED WITH A 21 IN COUNTER OVER THE CABINETS THEN NARROWING AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE DOWN TO A 10 IN COUNTER AS YOU APPROACH THE DOOR

2 in the front and 2 down the drivers side, making an l shaped work area, for 2 or 3.....

if there will be more than two ppl at a time in side i would say
that A is the way to go but I like C it will have more conter top
space than A and I think it would just look better
I VOTE FOR OPTION " C "

I'd put two under the a/c and the other two along the drivers side. This leaves the other side free. The L shape mentioned earlier

Can't put em up front. They overlap 1 in into the doorway which is a NO-GO.

I did some photoshops to show Option A and Option C which seem to be the two front runners. Give me your thoughts.

OPTION A



OPTION C
