Post weekend update.
Sorry. No pics this week. My helper was absent most of the day so it was slower than usual. But I was able to get the fresh water, and city water inlets cut in, and reinstalled. I installed the replacement water heater. I still have the old one. Works fine, just the bottome was rusted out. Not sure what to do with it. Any ideas? I re-installed the fresh water tank with the new inspection clover I installed. Then we got the tail lights rewired and reinstalled. (I sanded, and repainted the plastic housing... while it was apart.) And, we got all the windows cleaned, re-butyle taped, and installed. While they were off, I straightened, and painted the interior window frames black. Looks pretty sharp. Last thing we did once my faithful helper arrived, was we cut and install the last ceiling panel we needed to put up. So... No more tarp! Everything exterior is re-installed and sealed up!
Now, the next items to work on will be to install the black and grey tanks with vents. Then we can put the bathroom walls back and then the bunks. The old girl is getting sooo close to being habitable I can barely stand it.
The worst part is... I won't be able to work on it for a couple weeks again because of schedule. :(
