July 4 is a tight timeline! Even if you're just getting it roadworthy. But of course you're working on it together, so that will help. I always enjoy team builds--it's so interesting the way different couples work together.
Good luck!
Thanks! I love the copper. I painted the rest of the frame tonight, since we took the floor off to do all the joist attachments. Also hit the trailer bed with The Mix and dude, it FIZZED! I'd mop a line and a few seconds later, the grain of the wood would fizz. I kept mopping until the fizzing stopped, and then started painting the trailer. The floor isn't attached yet, because I really want to caulk the seams and screw heads but we ran out of daylight so I'll do that tomorrow.
Also going to the hardware store, since the trailer's back to a flatbed, to pick up the rest of the 1/4" and some 1.5" foam so we can totally finish the floor. Supposed to storm on Saturday, so we'll resume on Sunday. I think we'll get the foam cut and glued, at least.
I think this part should go fairly quickly, since we're basically just building a box. The front curved parts are the only cuts and kerfs we'll be doing. That part will take the longest.
Picked up some wood skewers tonight at the dollar store to use as pins for the foam. I think the plan is to stick 'em in and then cut 'em off flush. If we get the floor finished tomorrow, I may have Himself help me lay out the canvas and roll it up.
