Kristy adding some details to the interior in spite of her runny and stuffy nose.
The van all aglow in halogen illumination.

Steven, our photographer, caugth in a moment without his camera.Tuesday, the day after classes ended for Thanksgiving break, and I was impressed with the crew that showed up today. Pasqualle worked hard on the cockpit trying to get our prized cabinet embedded into the lower dash, but our final analysis after hack-sawing it down to a tiny wedge was, no, it's not going to work. Now we'll see if we can mount one of the doors, the next best alternative.
Julie, Kristy, Sarah, Rebeccca continued working on the back interior, and Steve taped out the first phase of the passenger side for the checkerboard, it's now been sprayed blue. Laurel did cleanup on the back window, grouting the areas that were groutless, and continuing with the rear view mirrors. Samantha also continued with the cockpit doing some interesting touches to the GPS and antiquing the space. Debra even stopped by to check out the progress.
It was cold and it was dark - - we couldn't open the door because of the wind-shill factor - - but we forged ahead. We may have an unveiling date of December 11 on the circular lawn in front of the library, but we need to decide if noon or later in the day would be a good time. We have support from the Library and Physical Facilities, now we need to get that event planned. We are, of course, a work-in-progress, but the ideal is to have the van in a 'finished' appearance by the 11th. That means everyone pulling together and getting the big jobs done and the details finished. I'll put together a punch-list this weekend. There's a group planning on a Saturday session, and Sunday is not out of the question.
Have great Thanksgiving.

I will be working at Mellwood on Saturday from 2-4pm. I will seal the grout on the back window and finish the passenger side mirror.
We need ALL able bodies to come in Saturday and start cutting the van carpeting. It's a big job and will require many hands! Please bring your own exacto knife. Regardless if you are on the grid for carpet please come and offer a hand.
Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful that this project is nearing completion!!!!!
And we need to clear coat or varnish the interior! Do we have the stuff there to do that?
We've bought the clear coat for the exterior. The people on the interior will need to purchase clear coat as well. I would suggest polyacrylic; it dries crystal clear. Polyeurethane dries to a golden/amber color.
I have both interior and exterior clearcoat.
