roof part 1

OK, here is what you have all been waiting for, the roof update! Over the weekend Andy, along with his dad, started and finished putting on the plywood part of the roof.

Above Andy is pulling out some stubborn screws and showing us the supports he added for the bed slide.  He was reading that some people have had issues with the slide pulling out of the roof. While this is not happening to us, yet, we figured it can't hurt to make sure it won't pull out in the future.
Also, notice the mostly new insulation, we were able to get away with keeping about 1/2 of it.


And here it is...BEAUTIFUL!

Now he is putting all the holes in the wood for the domes, pipes, fans and vents.

It took a few hours on a weekend to put it all on, and get the holes cut.  Now he is going to remove all the moldings that hold the rubber roof down, scrape off the putty and then maybe we can attempt to glue the new roof on :)
But first a new skylight needs to be ordered, we need more screws, remember the 200 he ordered? He used over 150 to secure just the bottom moldings! And the awning needs to come off in order for the new roof material to go on and be secured down by that molding.
Oh and don't forget the weather needs to hold so we can do this.
