oh my gosh...

Some of this stuff we have to do for the cart is SO TEDIOUS!  The wall behind the grill and fryer has to be fire resistant and up to "code" (of course) so we had to cut a huge piece of stainless steel and frame the wall.  OMG...so annoying.  Not only was it super hard to cut (we opted to use tools we already had instead of buying new ones) but we were limited on space and complete amateurs...(but figured it out along the way!)

Fitting the Stainless Steel

So I'll try to do this task justice.  First of all, the cart is not level.  The walls are all different sizes and rounded on the sides.  The windows are different shapes and staggered along the walls.  It felt like a game of Tetris.  The stainless steal is awkward, and SHARP...so cutting it INSIDE the cart and avoiding getting cut was a major task it and of itself.  THEN, we (well, Travis...) had to measure and fit trim along every edge, including the windows, to give it a "finished" look (as well as cover the sharp edges).  WOW!  It was NOT EASY...

Applying trim and FRP

More FRP to fit perfectly

Screwing it into place...

And wouldn't you know it...WE DID IT!  After measuring, and re-measuring, and cutting, trimming, painting, gluing, cleaning and waiting...

TA-DAAAHHHH!!

So proud of this wall!  A lot of work, but all perfectly fitted and ready for appliances...
