Last night I was able to fasten some more roof joist, cut out the window opening for the drivers side, and mock up the closet space in the front.

I have added the interior panels to the roof, and should be adding a interior wall panel tonight, or soon.

More photos of work.

To bend the ply wood panels, I first tried soaking beach towels, and putting them in the dryer to get them hot and moist. But as soon as I put them on the plywood, they turned cold, and were drying out. So in the end, I cut the plywood about a 16th of an inch as shown. This seems to have worked great.

You certainly are doing a nice, neat job on that teardrop! :thumbsup:
It looks like that vent is going to be awfully close to your overhead garage light. Are you going to be okay on that? :NC

Last nite I cut and added one of the wall panels. Unfortunently this will probably be the last progress I make on it for a while, due to the fact I will be working out of state for over a month. :cry:
