Finally able to work on our camper again! We were able to construct the floor and wings in the basement but the garage was too cold to work in. Iowa has been going through a late fall deep freeze and lots of snow! Our garage is not connected to the house nor is it heated so we had to wait until we had a few nicer days! Our fear was that the glue and liquid nails would not adhere or set right while constructing in the cold. So, after several weeks of no progress, today our camper has the front wall and side walls attached to
the box! It is so exciting to see it come along! In the pictures we are attaching you will see some temporary bracing Dave used to help keep the box square and level. Our word of advice is measure twice, cut once. We can't stress this enough for accuracy! Next will be the back wall. Not sure when we will be able to work on it next with Christmas coming up and another cold snap headed our way. We'll update as soon as we work more!
Merry Christmas everyone!
