cedar ceiling, part 1

Three drills on deck and a fully charged spare battery. Lets do this ...

Y'all, this was challenging. These cedar panels have grooves and slide in together. Only it's really tricky doing it looking up. And holding your arms up is harder than it sounds. But DANG! It looks good!!

Uhhhhh ... still a lot more to do ... but the FRONT ceiling looks beautiful!

ceiling insulation

The foam for insulating the ceiling was laid out and cut into panels earlier. SBF got some spray glue and sprayed the ceiling, then the panels, and got them all stuck on there nice and neat. It looked kind of amazing, except ... about an hour later most of them fell down. Grrrr. I'll find out what kind of glue he used and post it. He's gonna try another kind tomorrow. Once all of the insulation is done we can figure out wiring and then cover everything to make it pretty. I'm so ready for that part ...

Before all the panels came down. Looks pretty good ...

insulation for the ceiling

Gia, doing her part to hold down the insulation so SBF can measure and cut. 

bringing the roof down

When we got her, CWV had this fluffy, fabric roof. It was torn in some spots and the foam was coming out around the edges. I also think it had some vital things embedded, like A/C vents and maybe a light or two?

It actually looks kind of amazing without the roof. (I'm sure there's a plan in place for the vital things that go up there.) In this picture you can also see that the grey panelling has been pulled out and all the seatbelts unbolted and taken down. (I helped a little bit with those. Then I had to go home and make pizza dough. Priorities.)
