    I love that you share your skill and passion with your boy. Mine is still too young for that but I cant tell you how much I'm looking forward to it when the time comes.

      It's the best! He loves his garage time and is starting to really learn how stuff works. I've got an even younger one that isn't even 1 yet and she loves the garage as well. Can't wait to get to teaching her.

    Good job. Only thing I would have done different would be, use a Cherry Max rivet or some kind that seals the center hole of the rivet better.

      Thanks, I started using closed rivets after this. I didn't know they existed until a viewer mentioned them

    Those particular rivets are not weather tight, but certainly much better than the puncture that was there. Small shot of clear silicone down the center might be a good idea.

      Good looking out. They're stripping out the interior so I'll tell them to put some silicone on the inside of the repair. Lil dab at each hole is a good idea, I'll do that next time.

      Sadly no, it's a buddy of mine's Airstream. He bought a few for a project he is working on in Northern AZ, and I'm just helping with a couple small things on it.

      It took 12 months for the first person to notice that and you are only the 2nd. I hate the feeling of seams so I sleep in them this way and sometimes forget to swap them in the am. You should try it, it's way more comfortable
