Default Frp

Today it did not rain and my sister came out to help me cut the FRP. We cut the first piece into four smaller pieces to cover the bunk front wall, bunk underside, the walk-through wall and the back wall of the motorhome. It went pretty good but at 2.2 lbs per square foot the back panel weigh in at 150 lbs. Sue and I were both glad when we had it in place. Next up will be drilling holes through the FRP and the tubing and then removing the FRP and installing the nutserts into the tubing. I am making some drill fixtures to help keep the drill going straight. With the FRP clamped to the frame it looks much bigger. The last three sheets will not be cut before they are clamped to the frame. The sides will weigh about 435 lbs. I will lift them with a chain-fall or two. I also painted the frame to help prevent rust while the frame is out in the weather and after the motorhome is done.
