After much rain, some progress

I am very excited. I slid a sheet of lauan plywood in for making the floor pattern. It's a very good fit.

I have a broken floor/U channel making some trouble. I hope to be able to splice or somehow reinforce this break.

I posted a lot of photos with captions on my iWeb site. Have a look!

I'm going to make it! I just have a few more things to do before putting in the Nyloboard:

Clean all the interior aluminum
POR-15 on the frame

Then, before going camping in a couple of weeks:

Order the elevator bolts
Shim the transition from Nyloboard to plywood
Order more clecoes
Order more rivets
Make up my mind about plumbing, electrical, relocating the "master suite"
Get over aversion to cutting any holes in the Nyloboard
Clean the belly pan
Install new insulation

Sometime in all of this, I'll to to work and take care of household chores, go to softball games, supervise swimming, run errands, pay attention to the garden.

Some dude said women don't get aluminitis. I think I have it. I'm already thinking about how I can make a cap for the bed of my Chevy using 2024 T3 aluminum; replacing all of the plastic cowling of my Buddy scooter with aluminum; making a dog house out of aluminum.

I'm dreaming. I have lots of energy after dry-fitting the lauan. I'll attach a couple of photos here.
