Clyde-2

Continued demolition at the galley. Removed heater. Squirrel cage is completely full of dirt dober nests but still moves freely.

Water pump fires rite up but wouldn't move any water when bench tested. Started trying to disassemble it and the pot metal bolts started breaking. Time for a new quieter one!

All copper looks good, except for one spot where it burst due to freezing I'm sure. All new hoses where needed and should be good to go.

Finally starting to work on the major sytems. Removing galley lower cabinet was not as bad as I thought it would be. Exterior of heater appears to be in good shape. Duct may have to be replaced. Water pump still works when its switch is thrown. Appears water leaks over the years have taken there toll. Most of the flooring will have to be replaced. Fun Fun.

Finally buffed and installed the last of the interior panels that I am going to remove vinyl from. Decided to do just the front endcap section for now. Also installed the newly painted front screen and window trim sections.

The PO (neighbor) showed up the the original electric jack. He removed it when he parked the trailer 25 years ago. After pulling pulling the motor apart and cleaning it up, it worked !!! Going to need a new rocker switch as it only works in one direction. Don't...

Was able to install my new Fantastic Fan as well as the new polycarbonate skylight to replace the rotted one at the midship opening. I used the existing flat bars that the original double hulled skylight was riveted to. It lays right on them and then I mixed a good batch of JB Weld and glued it to it. I have found that paint mixing sticks work well when spreading and working Vulkem around roof penetrations.

Plan on installing a remote switch in the original style light cover for the...

Finally got around to cutting the plexi off of the Vista Views...what a difference. Took about 30 mins for both with a Dremel and a small drill bit.

More interior skin going back on. Have decided to only strip the vinyl off of the front end cap area. Vinyl is cleaning up pretty nicely. An all exposed aluminum interior will have to wait.
