I can't believe it – the van build is nearing completion. In this episode, we completed or moved many projects to the next step.

Here's everything we accomplished:

• Finish the shower storage wall

• Finish the kitchen base cabinets and cut and stain the 3/4" maple countertops

• Finish the shower surround or wet bath

• Install a decorative wooden wall

• Build the upper cabinets

• Test the water system

What I learned from this process:

BUILDING CABINETS IS HARD

Building cabinets for the first time presents its own challenges like sizing the drawers correctly and making adjustments for the tapering walls. But we did it!

INSTALLING AN UNDERMOUNT SINK ISN’T EASY

We had to scrap undermounting the sink. Because when we used a jigsaw to cut the hole but it didn’t cut straight up and down in some areas. So, we had to recut the hole and ended up mounting the sink from the top. It looks great!
