So remember that post of what happened to my arm when the table saw shot the wood back at me? Well, since then I've been extra cautious around the machine, and when I have a piece to cut that is large like this panel, I kindly ask my mentor, René, to do it. He is very generous to oblige! We both spent a lot of time making sure to get this angle cut right. This is so the front panels will fit snuggly together without leaving a gap. Our practice pieces looked good so I'm feeling rather confident that it will fit well 😃 fingers crossed 🤞🏼

The first two front wall panels are cut out! Katrina was so excited to get them cut, that she forgot the front extension that goes around the hitch for the bigger board 🤦🏽‍♀️ doh!
Proceeding according to plan with the expectation of creating a solution. More on this later! Stay tuned 🤗

🙌🏽 Woot! This board is actually the first two panels of the front end of the trailer. The frame is drying overnight so I'll be ready to staple it up and cut it out today 😁 I think I'm getting the hang of this 😋

Omg, there it is y'all! The light at the end of the tunnel ✨
The interior is mostly cleaned out so I'm working on the front end panels to give this structure some stability before tackling the ceiling. Send some positive vibes for the swift completion of this project! This feels like the final push through the hardest parts 🤯

Katrina is back at it with finishing touches on the interior side of the second big wall! First using the stud finder (insert joke here) to locate the points for stapling. Then using a compressor and pneumatic staple gun to attach the panels to the framing on the other side. And finally, rotozipping the wheel well off the panel so it's ready for install. I'm definitely not as well practiced with the rotozip as Anaid is (as you will see in the video) but I got the job done 👍🏼 Onward and upward!

All the little things matter in this project! Thes

All the little things matter in this project! These ceiling support bars have cracked on the edges where the nails should go, so I'm working to remove all of the heavy duty staples from the aluminum casing so we can take the wooden supports out and replace them. This is the type of task where I can tap into a feeling of 'Zen.' It was very slow moving at first, trying to figure out a method of removing the industrial size staples without damaging the soft aluminum. I used an assortment of tools and realized the best method is very soft and slow. I started by gently prying out the staples with the metal spatula which enabled me to get the flathead screwdriver in to take it all out. I used the pry bar when the staples were too deep for the spatula and voila! Clean and ready for action 😎

Got the stripeeze to work and now it is oddly satisfying 😁 It feels so good to get all the gunk off of these panels 🌟 My theory is that it was too cold outside last time I tried it. Today is perfect weather for working outside ☁️☺️
