rust treatment

All the black spots you see on this new and exciting picture are where the rusty spots have been treated. Another, important, necessary, kinda boring progress report. All these pictures remind of if you posted a bunch of pictures all the stuff that had to be done to your nails before you ended up with the perfect manicure. The soaking. The filing. The scraping, The cutting. More filing. Cuticles. The hand massage. God, I could use a hand massage right now.  Anyhow, your nails would suck without all those things, and the van is just taking her sweet time to get to the POLISH.

A closer view of the rust treatment. 

Insulation ... check!

One of those subtle progress pictures I mentioned earlier. She is now fully insulated, the blue tape and excessive foam have all been cleared away, and she's ready to have her rusty parts treated.

spray foam

First off, I'm sorry for the lack of CWV posts and updates. Y'all the progress is slow and somewhat unimpressive to the naked eye. Or maybe just to my eye. And spray foam took at least a week. I asked for the finally tally of how many cans of spray foam were used to fill the guts of CWV, but still haven't gotten an answer. Lets just say TONS. And many trips to the hardware store. This stuff is cheaper by the dozen, and SBF came home with at least a dozen at a time. In some places the foam seeped out of the blue tape, but for the most part it heals pretty nicely. This is from the beginning of foaming, when we realized this is a much bigger job than anticipated.
