Light At The End Of The Tunnel!

Nope - just a hole in the corner of the RV.

We made great progress on Sunday.  With the help of my good neighbors Gerald and Paulina, we quickly removed the rotted wood leaving the sound material to attach to.  With the bath tub out it was easy to get to the material to be removed.  A 16 x 16 section of the floor as well as the supporting material was removed.
Our goal for the day was to remove the rotted material and get at least the flooring repairs so that we could end the day with construction.  We accomplished this by piecing in the floor with new supporting wood on the side.  The thermometer inside the RV (with fans running) read 97.7 F at this point.
We finished by cutting the main front floor beam (if you can call a 2 x 2 x 97" stick a beam) to be installed on Monday.

Here is the floor patch installed.

We decided to celebrate the milestone by taking the team to Margarita Grill on the Homosassa river.  We had grilled octopus and blackened Mahi-Mahi - most excellent.

The goal for today is to install the lower wood in the front and re-attach the wall to the frame.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.
