I would apologize for all of the stupid puns.... but turns out I'm loving them ;)
This weekend's work wasn't picture heavy, so this post will be a bit of a short one!

 BEFORE |  AFTER |
As the title suggests, we caulked (almost) all of the rivets in our efforts to get Maude fully waterproofed. We ran out of caulk before we were able to cover every rivet, but we did get all of the seams covered! Also not shown : we used a product that is used to seal cracks in boats to seal some of the known leaks between aluminum panels from the outside. So far so good! We've had some rain this week, and while the windows and door are all still leaking, we seem to have stopped all of the leaks from rivets and seams!
Speaking of the leaking door - We've started the process of getting it to close and seal properly! Here, I was stripping the old (and weirdly smelly! Seriously, somehow they smelled like a dog park in the heat of summer!) door seals. At some point, someone decided to use an epoxy to adhere them, so it took me about an hour to get it all scraped off! We'll figure out how to strip the old epoxy another day ;) While I was busy doing this, Mike removed the old, loose rivets for the door hinges and replaced them. Now, not only are the hinges nice and secure, but the DOOR ACTUALLY LATCHES SHUT!!! We've been using a 2"x6" board wedged against the door to keep it shut - BUT NO LONGER! Maude's gettin' fancy! LOL
So, like I said, this week was light on pictures, but we've made some more progress!
Until next time! <3 Becca
