Prowler Rebuild continued - Finishing

The prowler rebuild marches on toward the finish line. Here you can see wood paneling installed in the bedroom. He is choosing a mixture of Hickory, Pine, and Mahogany for the place.

I want to say the star on this door indicates that it is an energy star product, but I haven't found the particulars on this symbol. Windows come with 3 different ratings. There is a rating for air leakage (AL), Visible Transmittance (VT), Condensation Resistance (CR), Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), and U-factor. I recommend visiting mapawatt for more information and use this handy selection tool to guide you. Any investment you make on energy conserving products in you home have a better payback rate than the stock market.

It takes a special kind of awesome to put a vaulted ceiling in a single wide. To me, this almost makes up for it being a trailer built with nails and T-111.
