Today it felt real. It's mind blowing stepping back and looking at this and thinking, "We BUILT this." I'd like to say we're a good team. I'm an excellent micro manager and Dan is a hard workwr. 😂 But in all seriousness, I think we work well together, his strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa.
We installed our custom doors from Challenger Doors by covering the edges with butyl tape, sliding them into the sidewall holes, and putting in pan head 1" screws and tightened them until about 25% of the butyle tape squeezed out. Then I took the little scraper and scraped off the excess. Incredibly easy process. We still need to install the rain guards but that involves a self tapering screw. Which we don't have yet.
Since the fan is installed and we can close off the interior from bugs, we put the mattress in. We ordered a custom size mattress half an inch shorter than the interior dimensions from Love Your Mattress. The customer service there is phenomenal!! The mattress was pre rolled so we were able to unroll it inside with minimal effort. There will be a problem whenever we need to remove it but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
It's actually crazy comfortable and it's made with natural fibers, no bad chemicals, or by products.
Not much else to report on, but it looks like it's almost ready to go!
