Hurricane Dolly Damage :cry:

The CPES had just come in when the storm came through. My plans where to apply it to the sides but I hadn't had time. I covered and tarped it, but the rain still got in.

I'm going to put some glue in and clamp it, then apply the CPES..Do you think that will work? :oops:

You are making great progress! :applause:

Sorry to hear about the water damage!

I will leave response about how to repair to the experts, because I aren't one.
:thinking:

I am just about as far along on my build as you are, but I've been working on it for 8 months! You guys are fast! That's good, if you have to replace that front section it should only take you a day! :thumbsup:

Hey, another question...?
I'm putting the CPES on the outside siding today, and since my new concern for water damage, should I coat both sides? :QM

I'm thinking if the CPES does its job on the outside, you won't need it on the inside. Before you do coat the inside, you might check with the rot doctor about volitile fumes.

Well the inside of the skin will be next to the 3/4 birch wall. So not worried about fumes, just water.

Skinned one side today, and finished the tongue & groove int walls.
Started the hatch.

Got one door on today.
Also realized the handles we bought don't lock. Going to have to find some new ones.

A/C vents in.

Inside almost completed.

She's looking great! :thumbsup:

Can't see any remanents of Dolly at all! :applause:

Unfortunatly we are in a direct path to be hit by TS/H Eduardo.

These storms really put a damper on TD building productivity.
A freak storm popped up yesterday with 54mph gusts and we lost our canopy--it wouldnt've held up through a hurricane anyway.
I went to the store this morning and bought another tarp, so she's all wrapped up, and were hoping for the best. :worship:

She's still missing a door on one side and the hatch isn't installed or sealed yet.

How are you guys doing down there with Edouardo? We're praying for you and your teardrop! :worship:

by **Beachbuggy** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 10:33 pm

Thanks for checking up.
Eduoard, just turned out to be a big rainy bum, that hung around all day.
:rainy:

Hopefully the weekend will be nice, but we have to buy another canopy.

by **Beachbuggy** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 9:10 pm

No canopy, and it's really really hot!

Installed the cabinets, and got the other door hung.
I started out with pine fronts but just couldn't make them look good, so I changed them to oak.
Starting to work on the outside door trim....AAgggghhhh thats hard! :hammerhead:
