Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Here is a slight preview of what's coming on the counter top and the front of the shelves.

Did a bunch of sanding and cutting today, and got to the point where I could kind of hold these in place long enough to take a picture.

The roof is getting closer!

I put a 2 part liquid EPDM over my aluminum roof 2 years ago. It took me several days of prep work to get the roof where I wanted it before the new coating was installed. I barely slept the night before I was so excited and apprehensive at the same time. Once it was complete, I was so relieved.

Prep work always seems to take forever........ Then the final work gets done, and it's like, Wow! Look what I did today! Lol.

I'll be glad when the roof is glued down. Several other large projects have been like that. They turned out to be easier that what I was dreading it was going to be like.

Hopefully, this will be another one of them.

So, I need to update the spreadsheet.

The TPO adhesive cost me an additional $174.90. The Mixer was $20.12. The Lacquer thinner was another $18.17. All prices include state sales tax. (Can't forget the governor).

All of that amounted to $213.19. That now brings our new total up to..... (drum roll)....

$9,649.56

I also called the roofing distributor and picked up a 5 gallon pail of adhesive. Turns out it is a Low-Voc version used for EPDM and/or TPO roofing.

It is a contact adhesive, so I guess I'll have to test it out on a smaller piece to see if it can be moved at all after putting the 2 together. Both surfaces get coated with the adhesive, allowed to dry a little bit, before putting them together.







To go with that, I needed something to stir it up, and make sure it is mixed properly. Enter a long drill powered mixing device.

When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping! OR, when the weather is lousy, it's a good time to go shopping.

We had been waiting for a lousy weather day to pick up some groceries, and a few other things, so we had a wonderfully, lousy weather day today, so off we went!

I am almost out of Lacquer thinner, so that was first on the list.

Here are a couple of closer pictures to be able to see the difference.









That's all for tonight, Capt'n.

After getting the shelves in place, I decided to sand some of the black walnut that will get used for the shelf face frames. No pic for that.

I did, however, also give a quick sanding and put some lacquer on the cedar boards that I got from Lowes, and planed them down.

Here you can see the difference between having some oil based lacquer applied, and the areas on the left, where there is no lacquer.

Yes, all 3 of those are cedar.

Of course, we can't forget the single screw going into the ceiling, into the hidden plywood.

Just like the passenger side, this is screwed to the bath wall, as well as the shelves having a piece screwed to the wall and back of the shelf as well.







Also glued and screwed on the opposite end - towards the front of the coach.
