Conch Fritter gets a rain test and passes!

Postby daveesl77 » Mon Jun 01, 2015 4:44 pm

Well, it has been a months since we have had any real rain and just got the weather stripping on the doors today. We've now had about 2 straight hours of steady rain, from showers to thunder bumpers and little Conch Fritter is dry as an old desert bone inside (knock wood). I pulled the canopy back to expose the doors and front wiley windows. Rear windows are sort-of under the canopy, but they are still getting some rain. Opened all the windows to do the test and I'm happy to say that while the windows are wet, the insides are dry, just like they are supposed to be. So far, not a drop inside either door. I go out and check every 20 minutes or so. Galley hatch is doing well too, but it is still under the canopy, so not a full test and beside, it isn't complete either.

I do wish that the winds would kick up a bunch, as I'd like to see it hit with some of our heavy wind downpours. But for now...a ok!
