It is finally water tight so I no longer have to keep a tarp over it. The filon sheet was rolled up and first tucked under the rear lip. Then contact cement was applied to the outside of the roll and to about 4 feet of the plywood. After the glue tacked, 20 minutes, that 4 feet was rolled down and compressed. It took all day to do the whole thing 4 feet at a time. The whiteness of it is intense. I had turquoise circles in my peripheral vision after doing it. There are bacon wrinkles along...

Not all parts of the roof are being completely replaced. The area over the galley seems solid enough to save, and it's full replacement would have increased greatly the scope of the project, so I am simply overlaying the existing foam with new plywood. This picture shows how the panels are lapped together with a mating strip so that they fit tight and smooth.

We went on a road trip to get ready for the kids coming in just a couple of days. We stopped for gas and after topping off the tank attempted to restart, nodda, that is, the motor turned over, but no start. I sprayed starter fluid into the carb. It burned the fluid, but would not start. That was last eve, now how many hours later we are waiting on a mobile mechanic. It should be simple.. Any ideas? Ever happen to you? Thank you..
Marcus and Rachel, stranded..
