[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 176456, member: 4592"] A little bit more done now. Subframe is about 85-90% done and I have about 40-50% of the framing done now. I got the floor done where the driver and front passenger sit. Insulated and all. I am also going to insulate the flooring in the front where the framing is already done for support and I have some extra insulation so why not? I was breaking down the hours so far: old deck tear out - 1.5 hours last Saturday - 6 hours subframe last Sunday - 2 hours subframe Monday - 2.5 hours subframe/ frame Tuesday - 3 hours subframe/frame/flooring Wednesday - 2 hours frame Probably another 20 hours minimum. It never ends. Hopefully I can get this thing done by Sunday night. It is so much more work than you think it is but I feel like I am doing it correctly. Just a ton of little stuff that is going to pay off in the long run. On a lighter note, it pays off to work next door to a tool and die shop because they have EVERYTHING possible that you could need and eager people to lend assistance and knowledge. Most of all a band saw to cut all the 1" 45 degree angles I needed for support. I cut a couple with a hacksaw and I knew there was a better way. Also it pays off to spend a lot of $$$$ at my sign supplier because I got a couple $90 4' x 8' Max Metal, like ACM, for $20 because the corners were dented. When I say dented I mean someone sneezed on the corner and there was a tiny little dent on them. Great deal. Here are some pics of the floor insulation and the framing after tonight. [/QUOTE]
