I had a really bad day at work. :thumbdown:

So I decided to work on the trailer.

I got the 1/2" X 1/2" angle around the door opening.

I got the the grain on the the wall & door to match up. (Pure luck)

I got the Cab Lock shimmed so it will latch.

I set he window in the opening to check the interior gaps.

I went to pick up the T-molding from the store but hey where out. It will have to wait on that until next week.

This weekend, if I find time:
1) door # 2
2) finish front bulkhead/closet
3) interior roof skin
4) install & wire interior lights
5) roof insulation
6) start interior rear cabinet

I know it is a big list, if I get 1/2 done I will be happy.

With my wall problem a couple weeks ago, I had to us my roof piece on the wall & have not had time to pick up a new piece. I have also been debating using what to use. I need 1 & 1/2 sheets. I was going to use cherry, at $38 a sheet. Now I am thinking just use 1/8" mahogany at $8 a sheet & painting it white.

I have been looking locally for one small piece of T molding. Tried some floor supply places and NADA. Where did you find some?
I just need a stick to do some "trapdoors in the galley. didn't think of it when ordering for the door.

Our local OSH and ACE hardware stores sell the stuff. It's usually around the screen door section or with the aluminum. It's not the soft stuff.
