The weather was just nasty today. But there were a few breaks in between fronts rolling through. 

Most of this short day was spent sanding what was hopefully the last of the fairing compound on the back wall. As fate would have it, that was not the case and one last fill coat had to be applied. No good action shots, but there should be tomorrow.

Spent the morning in damage control mode. The big tarp blew off Tiffany last night and we had to wrestle it back up top this morning. That ain't easy considering how tall Tiffany has become. After that was over, we got more glass on the ass end.


The door jamb is glassed in minus the header but things are getting more solid and waterproof by the day.

It's official! We actually have fiberglass on Tiffany!

This is a milestone we thought would never come, but it did today. The porch cover is glassed on and so is one side of the door jamb. We also rolled an extra coat of resin on the top to assure complete water proofing.

Tomorrow will be working under the tarps again! Today's work was overseen by the symbol of our freedom, how fitting on Veterans Day. Thanks to all that serve and have served.

Had to work under the tarp again today but we are advancing down the passenger side of Tiffany with the fairing compound.



Pictures kinda suck but work progresses.

Working between the rain we made some real progress the last two days. We now have the passenger side roof closed up in equal length as the driver's side. As soon as the gluing and screwing were done it was time to shape the flared porch corner and start throwing on epoxy and fairing compound.

Before having to pull the tarps back over the top, we managed to get the first two coats of compound on the corner of the porch cover as well.

The best news of all is that the weather may give us a break over the next four or five days. We're going to try to get the shower stall stuffed through the front wall tomorrow.
