On the seams of the left outside plywood wall, I have installed 1-1/2" fiberglass tape and two coats of epoxy over the fiberglass tape.

Next, I will cover the outside wall with epoxy.

Previously I had purchased a Router Guide Kit.

Image

I have used my router and the Router Guide Kit to cut out wheel wells as shown below: I also used the Router Guide Kit to cut the front and back arcs at top of wall.

Image

I initially started cutting the arc at both ends for approximately 6". I then attached the blocks at the bottom so that I could finish cutting the arc.

Image

The photo below shows the finished arc.

I have given the left outside wall two coats of RAKA epoxy. It took 48 ozs in total.

Image

I have also cut out windows and trimmed the lower portion of the wall to my plan. The router worked very well for this operation.

These two photos are of the left side of the trailer wall. The first photo is of the inside wall. The wall is stored upside down in my movable storage rack.

Image

The next photo is of the outside wall. Notice the right side wall is in the lower right hand corner.

Image

I will now be starting back to work on the right side wall.

Well it looks like you were right, no tear out from the router.

I have almost completed the right side wall. I have to cut the roof line, and cut the lower wall outline. Pictures will follow in about 2 or 3 days. I didn't do many pictures of the construction of the right wall, because the construction was the same as the left wall.

The photo shown below is of the outside of right wall. The door is only partially cut out. I wanted to keep some temporary framing & plywood at the door opening in order to provide strength when turning over the wall. The other side (inside) is already painted.

Terry,

The anticipation is killing me. When are the walls going up?

Very nice work and very detailed build!

Take care, Tom

Today, I am measuring levelness of the trailer floor.

Tomorrow, I start to work on the front & back walls (They will be made on my temporary work bench{the trailer}). They will probably take up to 3 weeks (This includes epoxying & painting).

After that, I will start on the roof. It should take no more than a week (This includes interior roof painting). I will only be doing the roof spars & interior roof plywood at that time.

After the walls & roof manufacture, I will be installing the front & rear walls. Then, I will install the side walls. After that, the roof.

Shown below is a Photo of the back wall outside skin, that is being held down to the frame while the epoxy is curing. Each concrete block weighs 15 pounds.

Image

Shown below is the front wall, with foam insulation installed, ready for epoxying the outside skin. The large hole is the framing for the Fantastic Vent instalation. The small hole is the framing for installation of 110 ACV electrical box.

Shown below is the front wall outside skin ready for applying epoxy.

Shown below is a photo of the back wall. The outside skin has been epoxyed to the frame. Fiberglass tape and epoxy have been applyed to the plywood seam. The wall has been pre-wired for 12 DCV electrical for overhead lights & license plate light. A string has been installed for pulling 110 ACV Air Conditioneer wiring later. The opening for the Air Conditioneer installation wil be cut later.

Shown below is a photo of the front wall. Fiberglass tape and epoxy have, also, been applyed to the plywood seam. The hole at the left is for the Fantastic Vent installation. The wall has been pre-wired for 12 DCV electrical for Fantastic Vent and overhead lights. A string has been installed for pulling 110 ACV wiring later.

Image

Next, I will epoxy the outside of the front and back walls. Then, I will paint the inside of the front & back walls. After that, I will start on the roof build.
