I finished the rubberized undercoating...
Our plan to laminate formica to the insulating foam inside backfired...the plastic sheeting on the outside of the foam delaminated, leaving us with formica glued to a thin sheet of plastic...plan B...1/8" masonite. MUCH BETTER!
While I was at my nephew, Jake, 7th birthday party, Kris kicked some serious ass! He traced and cut out the masonite inner wall pieces and screwed 'em in place. Then he finished off the roof braces.
We made the frame for the hatch on Saturday...that proved to be the trickiest part so for. Making the curve right was a bit frustrating at first, but after enough tracing and cuttings, we finally got a template close enough to cut from.
This shot is from the very front center, looking into the cabin. You can see the dog bunk that is still open to the back. One more wall piece will separate that from the rear hatch. We still need to insulate and masonite this back wall, stain the thing, put on the hatch, roof and doors and we're done! I can't even think of how many tubes of water-tight glue we've put into this thing so far...but we're not done yet, and there will be several tubes of silicone added to that as well!
