Post #15 - Curbside framework

I spent a couple of days working on the curbside framework, sanding the remnants of the old paneling off of the inside, filling holes, and pulling the rest of the staples and pin nails out before hand.  I then flipped it over and filled the screw holes with match sticks and a few toothpicks, Sanded, pulled the rest of the staples, & pin nails.  I then spent a few days cutting and placing the insulation in. My plan for wiring:  melting holes through the insulation with a long metal rod, or the insulation cutter. Works great, I just feed the wire through and place the insulation back in place. You may notice a difference in  a few photos -  I forgot to flip the insulation over so the foil was inside, so I had to recut a few pieces. I made sure my vents would still fit in their spaces, and removed the silicone from around the large vent they'd put on to prevent leaks. This vent needs a new gasket around it, and new lock.   Now I'm going to be schellacing the birch plywood with Amber Shellac - using the French Polish method.
