It seems like the little stuff is what takes the longest. Since the last post we have been knocking out a number of small issues as the tear gets closer to being road worthy. All of the door and hatch seals have been put on, so we should be water tight now. Most of the last minute paint touch up has been done and I think there is only one more coat of polyurethane to put on in the galley. We also replaced the interesting (but useless) swing away tongue jack with a better quality unit from the local farm store. Probably overkill, but I trust it a bit more than the old one.

A lot of teardrop builders seem to have the most trouble with the hatch. For me however, it has been the doors. I just don’t like how they are built. I guess it is because I thought I had a great idea on how they should be built and didn’t pay attention to those folks with more experience. Imagine that… For now, I think they will work, but I have added another item to my “next time” list.

Let’s see, what else have we knocked off the ToDo list? Curtain rods are installed and curtain material is waiting to stitched. Lights have all been installed and tested. Drip rail has been installed. Galley latches have been installed…
