I'm doing my weekend package conversion myself (except the electrical wiring). REFUSE to let hubby help me. I'm by NO MEANS a carpenter, but he's worse than me.

So far, here are a few pictures of things I've accomplished.

This is just a template for the cabinet door. It is not well made (edges don't meet up and stuff). It matched what my ceiling will also be made of.

 Is that corregated tin in the cabinet door? That is going to look SO cool! 

Yes. I can't wait to see how it turns out (if I don't cut my fingers off first).

It looks great!!!!   Please keep us updated with pictures. :)

I'm using some pine tongue & groove boards I found @ Lowe's. They are similar to these (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=13787-46086-259038&lpage=none) but there is no edge or center "bead". The ones with the bead as what I started to use because they were almost $5 a pack (14 sf) cheaper, but once my walls started shrinking (after installing shower and such) I decided that $5 wouldn't make a huge difference in my expense. I like the ones I chose better because they 'appear' as wider boards instead of having the grooves in the middle of each plank.

Looks great!

I have been looking at living quarters for a couple of year and haven't seen one that suits me so I'll be building my own also.  Hope mine turns out as well as yours looks like it is going to.
