I like that last folded canvas drip edge best but the quick n dirty in me says just go buy some aluminum drip edge and glue it on with silicone :twisted:

So we got in the nose of the FS and sprayed the bleach cleaner (household cleaner with bleach) on the whole affected area, then scrubbed it all with an old stiff brush ... wiped everything down with paper towels to remove as much surface moisture and gunk as we could , then put Newton clamps (bricks ) on the soft ply , and rigged a fan to blow on that all day and night ...

Results this morning were, much reduced mold (some staining) , the laminations are flat again , and everything’s ready for some glue injection (syringe) , then bricks and fan again ....

Are you going to paint some Killz or something over the remaining mold or, in your climate, is there no point ?
I had forgotten about that mural you painted in the nose - love it. :thumbsup:

W2, I've got the last of a can of Gripper .... going to try that ... and if everything stays dry then we should be OK with the mold ... :thumbsup: Outside , I have green mold on the FS roof and nose ... It's our climate !!! :rainy: Have to scrub that now ... The semi annual wash ... but I'm not complaining as this trailer has been less up keep and maintenance than any other... 8) Which was the idea ... This little leak problem was my fault ... :duh:

Great mural - I thought it was the real thing until Wobbly Wheels mentioned it was painted, :D

I was all set to compliment your photo skills but now -- double compliments on your mad painting skills and great idea !! Looks fabulous...

What's the cargo net hanging around for ?

Is it damaged or just hiding out under the brush?

Waiting on the yardman to come and cut up the tree.... Looks like it missed everything but the trailer ... And that was not a trailer of significance, but the old boat trailer ... boat’s gone , trailer stayed ... No plans for that one , and it’s not the next build trailer , which is in another part of the yard. Damage will be assessed when the tree is gone ... Living in the forest , trees fall all the time ... :o
Ps. The droid is a bunch of pipes left over from a tent /canopy thing ... It’s OK ... But had the tree fallen a little further over , the shed , and the all steel cargo trailer (white) would have been smooshed’ ... :frightened:

No good deed goes unpunished :?

Did you know that there were more casualties caused by falling trees than by enemy action in the New Guinea campaign of WWIII ?
