Framework - Walls are up:)

Today we placed the wall framework on the Gem and it looks like it fits great.

I am considering painting the framework, something that isn't often done, but likely a very good idea. It is so difficult, even using the best techiques of butyl tape and silcone on each screw, to keep all water outside. The painted frame would at least help protect the wood a bit if any water ever were to get in. I am also considering shellacing both sides of the walls for added protection. After seeing what water can do damage a trailer, and since we hope to never tear this one apart again, a bit of preventative work can't hurt.

Another major problem is the fact we can't work inside the garage. The trailer is just too tall to comfortably get under the garage door. We are going to get the aluminum on as soon possible to prevent any rain damage.
