seams

Once the outer skin was on, I fiberglass taped the seams. I wanted to glass the trough that the frame sits in. There are two reasons for this.

  1. The plywood the walls were made out of turned out to be junk. I need to be real careful to keep water away from them. The tape covers the bottom edge of the outer skin.
  2. The glass helps bond the walls to the floor. I also taped the inner wall to the floor. This way, the integrity of the wall/floor joint isn't dependent just on the 1" wide glue strip built into the wall.
The cut-out on the side is for the frame doubler which is needed to make the frame wide enough for the spring brackets.
