Building Walls in Reverse

Jeff didn't think that the streetside wall would "pop" off as easily as the curbside.  That makes creating a pattern much tougher.  With this in mind we began the process of building the streetside framing by reversing the build on the new curbside wall.

Photos should provide some better description of this carpentry stunt.



In addition to the streetside wall erection this week we purchased a Ridgid 1-1/2" Narrow Crown Finish Stapler.  If you are beginning a renovation/restoration on one of these trailers I highly recommend one.  It allows quick assembly and clamping while waiting for glue to dry is eliminated.


Once the wall was built it was time for the birch plywood.
Notice this is the second layer of wall on the curbside.  The first layer was built for the curbside, the other to go on the streetside.  The photo below shows the two layers if you look closely.
