Got seriously started on the ceiling today.
I made my own oo square bit to get the little screws out, cut along the cabinets with a razor knife, and drilled out the few rivits they figured would hold up the ceiling panels.
Once the panelling and insul was removed,[gloves, mask and clothes used], I started looking at the serious end of the construction of this thing. I guess the same Barth kid that got a good deal on red wire must have gotten a good deal on glue around this time, because the roof is glued to the structure, and as we've found in recent years, glue tends to crystalize after 12 years or so. Check out my finger in the gap between the structure and the roof.
This is typical of the roof as far as I tore off. I didn't find any rivits holding down the roof to the structure except around the vent. The rest is just floating in the breeze. So now I guess I'll drill and rivit the roof down in the area and maybe not brag quite as much about how this thing was made.
