Well, it's been a long month but the end is finally here. :? I've been painting, trimming and laying vinyl flooring down. Now that the end of the month is here, hopefully I will be able to purchase the rest of the paneling for the interior, the 1/4" plywood for the exterior roof and the rest of the insulation I need. :thumbsup: I get paid monthly so I usually run out of funds before the end of the month, once I finish with the items I bought for that months projects, I have to wait until the end of the month. :cry: It's brutal!!! :(

Labor Day weekend I have a full week off for vacation. I'm dedicating at least five hours each day to working on the tear. I'm hoping to have the paneling and roof put on by the end of the week. :thumbsup:

I know that I keep saying this but, I am planning on posting pictures sometime next week. :roll:
Have a great day and hoping the weather is great no matter where you are!!!

Sorry it's been a while. I've been dedicating every moment to getting the paneling and roof put on the camper.

I'm almost done with the inside paneling. Maybe a couple more days, then I will be ready to insulate and put the plywood on the roof. I'm trying to get the outside roof put on before winter. Hopefully this will protect it. I'm hoping that we have at least one more good weather month. You never can tell here in Ohio. It could snow tomorrow for all anyone knows. I had some trouble getting the paneling to form around the front contour. This took me most of yesterday. I think I have the worst over with now. I will need to get another piece of paneling today. I guess I miss calculated on how much I would actually need. I can see it coming together now. It is starting to resemble a camper. I'm really excited to get the roof put on. After that, I can start on the cabinets and galley. I don't know if the weather will hold out until I'm able to get the them in. If not I figure, I'll get the measurements and get everything built over the winter. Hopefully have it ready to camp in by early spring. It never ceases to amaze me how many things there are to do when I stand back and start making my list of what's left. Slowly but surely!!!

I promise, once I get the roof put on, I will post some pictures. :oops:
Have a great day and hoping the weather is great no matter where you are!!!
