So, I've talked and talked and talked about lifting the shell off Maude in order to replace the rotten subflooring. We're nearly there! This week we got started on the interior supports to make sure that Maude's shell doesn't shift out of shape while we've got it lifted off. What normally gives Maude all of her stability is the shell being attached to the trailer frame and her inner skin. Without those, she's a bit wobbly!
We started with a frame of 8-foot 2"x4" boards around the perimeter. The boards are screwed directly to Maude's ribs.
Next, we added boards attaching the two sides and diagonals to support the roof.
Aaaaaand... This is as far as we made it this week! ;)
We'll be adding more diagonals and more boards tying it all together this coming weekend! Then after that - lift off!
Have a great week, you guys! <3Becca
