Day 11 &12: Flannel lined pants and wool hats!

Well, with the weather changing we are on a push to get the camper structurally sound!  The temperatures are getting colder so out came the flannel lined pants and the wool hats!  We spent day 11 working on the front corner.  We are finding it very interesting trying to match the curves because there is not much left to go by.  At least by the end of the day we felt that the front corner was stabilized but I believe it is going to need a little more tweaking before it is right.  We also prepped the back to replace another part of the floor.  We used a propane heater with card board to box in the area so we could heat the frame enough to paint it...It worked!  On day 12 we were able to slide in the new floor and finish the header beam across the top.  We then started to replace the studs along the wall one by one. We also traced out the back corner curve so we will be ready to put it in place next time!
