Well...  I TRIED to work on the interior of my steel GN this past weekend. The trouble was, my area of Michigan got hit with a wicked winter storm...  82 degrees on Tuesday, then Sat and Sun, in the low 30s and a total accumulation at MY place in excess of 12" of SNOW!! 

SO, the roof of the trailer is being covered with snow and a friend and I were working inside. No heater at that point. It starts "raining" inside the trailer just from our body heat and exhalations of moist breath.  Needless to say, we didn't get much accomplished. One more reason I really like fiberglass roofs (rooves?)...

I did get some portions completed; sorry no pictures. A HUGE thanks  to everyone else who has posted photo albums and told how they did their's... what materials, etc. to use. It's making my go of it much easier.

My friend (another "gal") was having fun too... as she talked to her husband she told him "We've used EVERY power tool gabz has!!"  (jig saw, circular saw, table saw, radial arm saw and of course various power drill / drivers). Too bad the wicked storm took out the electrical mid afternoon on Sunday or I could have gotten even MORE done.

Don't you love MI weather? I live up north of you and we saw some of that white stuff too. Very depressing to be cooped up in the house with it snowing like a son-of-a-gun and light as day out at 8 o'clock at night. Guess it's Mother Nature's last hoorah before she let's go of winter. Last week's summer like weather was a big tease that's for sure.

MIFarmBabe... yeah, we were laughing .... all 4 seasons in one week!!  Spring on Monday, Summer on Tues/Wed; Fall on Thursday & Friday; and finally Winter on Sat & Sunday.

Yeah... all that sunlight with snow and low cloud cover - it was light until 8:30 - very bizarre.

phooshh....  I settled into my sleeping bag with my camp lantern and latest issue of Trail Rider, on the floor in front of my fireplace Sunday evening for bed time. ...
