Keeping Mice Out
Been working on sealing up any openings in the underside of the trailer that mice could use to get in. I've sealed up numerous gaps between the frame and the coroplast panel. I still have two openings...

Thanks for the ideas for blocking the openings. I made my blocks out of 3/8-inch plexiglass which I had left over from another project. The blocking element is made of two pieces screwed together, and a "T"-shaped piece holds the block against the I-beam and allows it to float up/down and left/right. Time will tell if I allowed enough room for movement.
The plexiglass pieces were epoxied together. The screws are stainless steel and I tapped threads in the plexiglass to accept the screws. (The extra horizontal piece glued at the top serves no purpose. I can't remember why I thought it was needed 6 months ago. I made the first block last fall, but didn't install it until now.)
Pictures show "before" and "after".
