Juneaudave, thanks. I was going to just test fit them but I can't get the boys to help me so I glued them in. Sometimes I need a third hand. I've been using clamps as my helper. :lol:

It was scary to glue them.

Aunti M -thanks The weather has really slowed this build but I'll get there.

Thanks Barb, your tear looks great also.

Peg,

Looking good. :thumbsup:

You'll be done before you know it, and all the hard work, heat, rain, bugs and sweat will have been worth it when you take it out for the first time.
:applause:

What rain? What bugs? What heat? She's pullin' your legs, folk. It's a paradise down here (except for the rain and the bugs and the heat . . .).

Way to go, Peg. It's looking good. Are you going to try to bring it to Inks?

Thanks Tony, If I can get it campable I will take it to Inks Lake.
It would be nice if I could. If not I'll take the popup. :cry:

Thanks Uncle M

I can't sleep :cry:

Looking good Peg!!! :thumbsup:

With the spars glued in, are you going to install the ceiling before the bulkhead goes in, or are you going to do the ceiling in multiple pieces?

by **peggyearlchris** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 5:35 pm

Thank you, Classic Finn, Deputydogrickand Maryk for the kind words.

Dean- I thought I would do the cieling in multiple pieces but not sure which way is best. Which way is the best? thanks, Peg

Peg,

Looking real good there! Keep up the good work.

I would make it up to fit and put in as one piece before installing the bulkhead.

Peg, I did mine just like the instructions in the Generic Benroy and it was easy!! If you do, make sure you have plenty of weight ready to put on the seams while it dries. I was running around trying to find stuff to put on it..

I slid it in through the back under the spars, and glued it to 2 spars at a time.

This pic makes me laugh....

Have fun!
