That is beautiful! Is that the fridge under the step? If so, that is a clever use of the space! Great job, I know you will be getting a lot of compliments on it.

That is soooo cozy and spectacular looking!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm insulating my right now, wanna finish the rest for me, LOL!!!!! I love the trimming around everything, that gave me ideas for my new one. What did you use for your ceiling? It looks like a white bead board type material?

Well it's not as nice as a regular fridge, it's a Ice Box Fridge. The kind you put a block of ice in and as it melts it drains through a hose under the trailer.

As for the ceiling, I bought 4x8 sheets of bathroom wall panel that has a decorative pattern for moisture areas. Not that white board with the little bumps,I hate that stuff! I used it also for the wall behind the sink,stove and cabinets. It made the slight curve for the ceiling very well. Thanks for all the comments!!!

I like your layout very much! How many hours do you suppose you put in this? I keep thinking I'll tackle mine someday but I think my horses are going to be too large for the one I have and can't decide.

I'm not quite shure on the hours invested, but if i'd have to say it would be around 120-130 hours. This does not include all the research and planning hours. I wanted to do it right the first time... so I didn't have a headache later!

Nice Job! We are working on our trailer. Wondering if that is your shower in the horse area? Where did you find that and what is it called? Also what size is your livingquarters.
Thanks

The trailer looks great !!! I do have a question, how did you do the nose of the trailer?? Did you make just go across the at the narrowest part to make it square? Can't really tell by pictures, is it just a wall or cabinet? You pictures have given more ideas. I await your answer about the nose of the bunk. Thanks in advance. Jean

As for the LQ size its a 6.5 short wall 6.8 wide Titan Classic 4HS. The 1st stall shower I bought on ebay its called a RV Exterior Shower. In the nose I built a wall with a shelf recessed into it, but made shure the bed would still fit! I do have start to finish photos of my progress that has the framing etc with no wood etc. on yet. If you would like more photos of anything shoot me a email at tralbos@hotmail.com Thanks again for all the comments, makes me feel great!Sent from my wireless Blackberry
