Remember that giant pile of fiberglass from yesterday? It’s time to bite the bullet and lay up all of that.

I suppose I lied a little bit. Yesterday after we decided to call it quits, Jason took a shower and came back upstairs and we realized that we were so excited to be done for the day that we failed to actually put anything away. The camper shell is still in the yard, tools scattered in the grass, shed wide open… fail.  I suppose as punishment we decided we should do one more thing since we were out there anyway picking up our mess. Since we already had it fully fiberglassed, we went ahead and glued the upper part of the aft bulkhead in place.  Bracing it was a little odd, but it worked out just fine and it was one less thing to have to do today!

So after a day of fiberglass, what have we learned? Large pieces are terrible and I hate them. My hands actually sweat so badly in the rubber gloves that it runs down my arm. Awesome. (and gross.) Also, lots of chemicals in a small storage shed gets pretty pungent.  We had to leave a lot just to get some fresh air.  (good thing we didn’t try to do this in the attached garage!)

All of the pieces for the shell of the camper are done and ready to be glued into place for final assembly!
