I went through two tubes of Loctite PL 3x (construction adhesive) and one tube of Loctite PL 300 (foamboard). The PL 300 was used to stick the foam insulation in place.

I tried really hard to put the plywood up in two pieces. It was too difficult and I ended up with four pieces. The finish layer needs to go up in two pieces and will require a piece of divider molding between to two pieces. The walls aren't square and that really isn't helping me. I measured twice and cut about ten times.

I need to prepare more floor-to-ceiling support boards. I can't use a staple gun to hold the FRP panel in. I had a thought that taking the roof off would have been a lot easier.

I wasn't laughing at the time. My problem is that my tolerances are almost always way too tight. Things _should_ fit the way I want them to!

Many times I will cut a hair long, test it. Shave off a little. Shave off a little. Shave off a little and then it fits just right.

About the 6th time I shaved off a little and it STILL didn't fit I said F-it and shaved off a lot more. I'm burning daylight here people. All the bulbs are out of the bathroom, so it's daylight only to work in. I know me well enough that I darn well better remove all those expensive LED bulbs because if I don't, there won't be any bulbs left.

Work lights I have - at the house, where there is shore power. There is no shore power at the storage lot unless I fire up the generator or the inverter.

I was ready to put up some of the FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) panels that go on the wall above the shower. But then I read the instructions on the FRP adhesive that said it wasn't to be used on wallpaper. Dang it! So I went back to scraping wallpaper off the walls.

Your not supposed to read the instructions until you are done......... then it is too late.

It's in my nature to do things the right way. 90% of the work on this will never see the light of day. But I'll know.
