Now that we have a warm place to work (can get the tent around 10C in -18C weather), we put some paint on the base to seal up the top of the plywood leaving a 1 inch space unpainted where we are gluing the walls (the bottom and edges were sealed with tar).
We then got the walls and cabinet into our little tent shop and got those attached. To attach the walls we did pl premium 3x along the entire edge and then pocket screws every 6" to pull it down and into the floor. I couldn't believe how strong the pocket screws are as we didn't even have to brace the wall after it was screwed in before we could get the cabinet attached. But it didn't at all, just held strong and straight up.
We then glued the cabinet edges and attached it to the wall, with screws spread around to hold it right while the glue cured.
Lastly, we threw the other wall one the same was as the first and it all came together fairly smooth.
Then we got all the spars put in place and got the ceiling glued and stapled in. I thought with how flexible the birch was it would be really easy, but I was sorely mistaken, but we did get it. On the roof side we will definitely be using straps to get the wood around the curves.
It's also a crazy right fit working in the gazebo, so photos are not easy to take. We only have about a foot of space on each side of the trailer.
But now we are getting ready to finish the inside by painting the ceiling and touching up all the other spots it's needed. Also starting to run all the electrical.
