We planned on getting the 1st floor in today. Once again "Leeola " threw a wrench in our plans. Had to take the front piece off to get to the front set of mounting holes for the floor. Then we concentrated on getting the rotton nails out of the lower aluminum sill plate. We were glad that we salvaged the front part of the upper floor to use as a template for cutting out the front lower plywood and the lower sill plate. Once that was done we made a huge mistake of jacking the front end up so we could drill the holes for the lower floor and sill plate. Bolted the floor and sill down, and let the body back down. Hummm something must have went wrong because the body did not meet up with the floor. Took a few frantic moments trying to figure out how to fix it, but we did. Had to loosen the floor bolts and gently work the outer skin out. Tighten the bolts again and pull down on the body. Put a couple of nails it to hold it in place. Whew!
The sun was going down so we cut and sealed the bottom of the 2nd piece and put it in place for next time. Didn't get as much done as we wanted, but still anyday that something starts going back together is a good day! Next week we are going camping with the Felbobs, Harrisons and Kurt. Should be a fun time, it's been a few years since we got such a big crew camping together.
