Another productive day working on the rig. I pulled the forward bunk out and assessed the water damage along the front edge of the ceiling. I tore out 2 layers of delaminating wood about 4 inches wide down to dry wood. There is a seam along the front so there is a very neat edge. I plan to just glue a strip of thin wood in and putty it up and paint it. I'm going to re-build the bunk and replace it.

I started to pull the wallpaper off the ceiling. There was another layer of really goofy wallpaper under there. It's official...I'm painting the ceiling.

I had the feeling that the forward capped vent might still be leaking so I bit the bullet and got a new vent and installed it. No leaks for sure now. The bedroom vent is in good shape but I think I'm going to put one of those Maxx-Air units back there. I want to be able to sleep if its really hot.

While I was on the roof with a brush full of sealant I re-sealed a few old
repairs.

I put a coke in my fridge and it froze overnight. I set the temp a little higher. That SO rocks!

I drop the Turnip off on Thursday for the radiator work. I figure it will take a couple of weeks to finish. I'll paint the ceiling when I get it back.

I know you guys want to help me paint so I'll let you know when it happens.
