Recent Teardrop Progress

While there isn't any visual progress to show, we have been diligently fitting the outer layers of insulation - including the entire front/top - and rough-fitting the plywood sides.

Fitting the sides not only entails cutting to rough shape, but marking the insides as to where to apply glue, and the outsides where to nail and where to avoid nailing (given the wiring through the sides.)

The plywood for both sides is fit and marked.  The front/top is all insulated except for three bays that contain electrical and require special attention.  The starboard side outer layer of insulation is all fit.  What remains is to fit the port side outer layer and those three panels on top.  

After that, we can attach the plywood sides and begin fitting the plywood front/top.  Before we fit the front/top we will have to remove the hatch.

The temperature has broken somewhat, but I still produced an extraordinary amount of perspiration today.  The next few days are supposed to be better, but then it gets hot again.

Yee haw!
