Another few days, a bit more progress. After the Childers dried on the first interior wall to get its fabric, I put another layer in. It's all well dried now, and ready for paint as soon as I get it.
Filled in the channel around the pvc for the electrical with great stuff, trimmed it back and got spackle in there, as well as the same for the seam in the front cap. Gonna give that a bit longer before I sand and fabric it. Not sure about how it's going to look, but we'll see...
But the big thing is that I made up a cut list for the roof structure wood to support the skylight and the vent/fan. I decided a while back to have them go all the way across, which was a challenge, since it needed long, straight pieces, and my pressure treated wood (unsurprisingly) dried pretty warped and wonky. I saved the straightest bits for the back hat pieces, since those are most important, and made do.
Here are the pieces in the roof. They've been glued together with tb2, and then I put some screws in them to try and hold them together better. If there's one thing I definitely know now, it's that I am NOT a woodworker. :-)
I put in some generous amounts of gorilla glue, hoping the foaming action will do a good job of filling the gaps. I've got it weighted down now, with all the liftable heavy objects I could find, including my 100 amp hour battery, and my fresh and grey water tanks, filled for the first time. :-) aaaaaand a couple coolers that still haven't been emptied since the Fourth of July, when I started this project... that can't be good...
Will check it in a few hours and see if/how much I need to fill in with great stuff. Moving right along! Next up may very well be the nightmare or back hatch construction...
