First roof panel on! glued and screwed. Will redo the screws later (as they are angled) to get them below flush and fill them so they dont hinder the aluminium later.
Put some aluminium tape in the wiring grooves as a barrier for the wiring. Worked quite well. Aluminium tape wasnt all that sticky, so went in quite easy, and ran the rounded end of a stanley knife over the flat edges, and it actually came out reasonably smooth.
Making sure i dont forget what the wiring is for haha. Inside and outside, driver and passenger side lights, and a fan is all i've wired in so far. Galley wiring will come from the galley wall with a rubber thing like car doors have probably.
Got all the wiring in!
you can really see how dark it was outside by the time i finished.
and this is what my garage floor looks like haha. I stopped cleaning it, it was just too hard and so pointless
a quick thing about my wiring... I may/may not have ,entioned it before, but rather than wiring 12V everywhere and using the switches on the lights to turn them on/off, i'm wiring all my switches back into the main control area, and switching the 12V from there.
So it's not done yet (waiting on some parts) but this is my light driver.
it has 8 inputs, and 8 outputs, so in its simplest form, it will behave exactly like a switch on a light, but this way i have the option to change the code (when i'm not in a massive time crunch) to dim the lights, control them from my phone or a key fob etc. so the idea is that the switches will work as notmal, but i might find that the inside lights are too bright, and this way i can PWM them to get them to be at say 60% brightness when they are turned on. Doubt it's really an issue, but as an electronics engineer, and because i program micros for a living, i kinda wanted to do something different.
I make it six weeks, this coming weekend
