I've been working on the roof this week. Roof wiring is done with two lighting circuits and one fan circuit. The insulation is just about finished. R value for the roof is between 9-12 depending on roof thickness.
I forgot to order solar panel wire before now so I have to wait for that to arrive before I can put the ceiling panels on.

The fridge arrived. It was packed amazingly well and was in great shape when I unpacked it. It appears well built and roomy enough for a week's worth of food.
I couldn't resist taking the end panel off to look at the internals and was happy to see high quality innards. I've read that these fridges are rebranded by many different companies and are well known for quality construction.

The vinyl floor has been glued down. It's pretty thin but it's what I could find locally. Hopefully it holds up.

The next day was sunny and warm so I decided to get the roof rubber installed. When I took the tarp off I found evidence of a mouse nest. Pesky little critters! Rubber install went well. It's Superflex from Rec Pro. It came as a kit from Amazon. I've used their stuff before and it's good quality.

Thank you. It's a fun project.

Does anyone else ever have this thought? "Next time I build something like this I'm gonna remember to do this part different."
Some days the price for not being an engineer is steep. Oh well that's what makes it fun.

Only have that thought with every project I undertake.   I’m from the “I cut that board off three times and it’s still too short.” school of engineering...

But it really says you are interested in education and learning. A big part of learning comes from doing - or at least attempting. My mistakes have given me the best lessons, in so many areas.

I figured folks here would understand.

I have a new found appreciation for those small businesses out there spending untold number of hours working on prototype's.

The Rieco Titan jacks are mounted now. They work great. Work is progressing on getting the door weather tight.
