Day 7: Cutting Insulation and Routing Frame Flush

It's been a week of work days spread over a week and a half or so. We don't want to be working on this project for 6 months. We're trying to be quick and efficient because we may be making another one for some friends right after this. We started this afternoon cutting some Reflectix from Home Depot to use as insulation. We got two rolls, one for the sides and one for the roof. The mattress should insulate the floor well enough. I think I'm going to do two layers of Reflectix for the cabin and one for the galley for extra insulation since our outer wall is only 1/4" as is the interior (unless someone tells me otherwise).

After Dan got home we got the router out and used the flush trim bit to buzz off the framing and make it flush to the exterior wall. Our poor one horsepower router was overheating so we had to do it in 4 rounds so it added significant time to that step of the project. Between the rounds we took the router inside and set it in front of a fan on high.

Nice and flush!

Then we heard this loud thunk and this dude fell out of the tree and onto the top of the Jeep!

I have zero patience so I had to clamp the walls up to see what it's going to look like! Super pumped to glue the walls up tomorrow!!

Time spent today: 4 hours
