Stitching Her Up

Patched up the screw holes from an old roof that at one time was attatched to the trailer. JB Welded a patch on and held it in place.

Scott spent most of the day resting the bad ankle. While sitting he used the Roto Zip and cut out the front bulkhead cabinet decorative stars. He did a fantastic job! The game plan for the day was to get the front bulkhead cabinet built and in place. Instead we spent the day replacing the curbside inside header and easing the upper skin back into place. The curbside wall is now rock solid.

I am hoping that during the week I will get a chance to finish up the 120 volt wiring and also finish the insulation. I really can't wait to see the Birch going up on the walls and ceiling.

Man Down!

It started out as a rainy crappy day. Scott and I decided to move the workshop to carport. We just wanted to keep going on the roof spars and get the roof sealed up before winter. During the week Scott built the two end pieces and finished the center piece Saturday morning.

Scott was on the roof and I centered the the first piece and he started to screw it in. Everthing went well on the first piece until Scott went to get off the ladder. The rungs were wet from the rain and down he came crashing to the ground from a few feet up. Twisted his ankle pretty good. Thank god that Kurt was there and helped finish up.

Two Steps Foward...

Seven Steps Backwords

Ava & Zoe the "Baby Friends" as their father calls them. They are the reason that we are rebuilding the Vagabond.

We wonder how something that rotten took so long to get out? Then we spent awhile working on getting the front end cap off, so we could seal it up. Was not that bad getting the front end cap off.

Not so easy getting the front end cap back on and lined up right. Scott and I were getting kinda worried that we could not get it back on. Had to use a strap to pull the pieces back together.

One Step Closer

Came home from work on Monday and Scott had started to frame in the wall for the picture window. Meanwhile I started the wood sealer on the ceiling and then started on the insulation in the ceiling.

Next on the list was to ran the 12 volt wires for a Fantastic Fan that we plan to put sometime in the future. Hey, might as well run the wires while the framing is exposed. Won't be long before we will be starting to put the Birch in! Can't wait.

Living Room Floor Done!

Spent the day on my hands and knees. Taking advantage of Indian Summer this weekend. Got up early Sunday and threw a coat of primer on the floor. After the primer dried, I started to lay the floor tiles. The hard part was deciding where to start.

Had a pleasant surprise when I came home from work on Wed. Scott replaced the front vent! One less leak to worry about. I have been trying to take advantage of the nice weather, every night I have been stripping the woodwork for the cabinets.

Saturday we finally got the upper floor installed and screwed down! Even found time to bondo the screw holes and cracks. Hopefully the weather will be nice tomorrow so I can sand, prime and hopefully start the floor tile install.

Another day of working on the floor.

Started the day laying the last of the lower floor and bolting in the outer sill. Started to rain outside so we moved the sawhorses and saws inside. Didn't take long to install the inner braces. The insulation was cut to size and press fit into place. By the time I was done cutting the foam I looked like I got stuck in a snowstorm. Little pebbles of foam stuck to my clothes. Once again we hoped to get the upper floor installed, but by the time the insulation was in my back and knees were about done for the day. Hopefully we will have a little nicer weather next weekend, so we can finally finish the floor.
