Correct sequence of the build

Postby TallGuy7 » Tue Jun 14, 2022 1:55 pm

Received some bad news about the doorframes I had ordered 11 weeks ago. Instead of delivery I was informed delivery is delayed by a minimum of 8 weeks. I have tried to find an alternative, but given the bespoke dimensions there is no other option than to sit it out.

I am almost finished with the roof, wiring it up, putting in the insulation and closing up the roof leaves the hatch and the skinning on my to do list.

I think it is necessary to skin the roof of the trailer before the build of the hatch can begin, or is that not correct?

And what is skinned first? The roof or the walls?

Input will be much appreciated.

I skin the walls while they are flat on the bench. The roof skin should be on top of the wall skin.

And I build the hatch after the roof is finished.



But that's me... :beer:

All the delays on getting stuff has really gotten frustrating, but what you gonna do. One of my little remodels jobs had been dead in the water, until last week, for nearly 3 months waiting on the window well liner for the new below grade basement windows we cut into the foundation.
I'll be done when I'm finished, if that's not fast enough, take a number.
