Day Three

I got started early this morning. I woke up around 6:20, and I got a quick breakfast and was out working by 6:45. The first thing I did was take down the remaining side rail, then pull the 100 or so staples out of the side. Despite the fact that this side is down hill in it's normal parked position in the drive way, the staples and screws were a lot more solid. Although the front 3' of header on the wall section is completely rotten. It looks to be a 2x2, but some how I'm going to have to replace a section of it.

I got a surprise at 9:30 when my wife came out and offered to help in the scraping and peeling department. She did a ton of work: at least half of the total time we spent today, 9:00 am - 5:00pm non stop. We Traded off watching our 3 year old and sitting up on the roof.

I took advice from others and taped plastic in all of the roof openings to prevent dust and debris from filling the inside of the rv.



This bag of debris is 3/4 of the rubber from the roof. It mostly came up in little pieces or small stips. The rubber was paper thin. It was like scraping off a label only the label is 8' wide and 20' long. That's why in 8 hours we still weren't done.

Here is a picture of the 1/4 of the roof remaining. I realized this morning while working on the side of the rv that the rubber extends 5" under the lamanant piece that makes up the nose of the cab-over. I won't be able to get all of that out, so I'll just have to pick a point and cut it down inside there. Fun Fun.
