We made major progress yesterday but worked into the evening as we have sever weather tonight with heavy rains so we finished sealing the seam on the bedroom slide (the front is done) with 3m 5200 then I added a extra air connection at the tank with a pressure regulator and valve, till I can isolate the leaks I have we'll use the shop  5HP compressor and tank so the small 110 compressor doesn't wear itself out.    

Hooked up the seal to the deflate valve with Tom's idea of vacuum pump, this works fantastic.     I noticed that when the seal inflates to 15 psi it causes the roof of the slide to bulge in the center, I'll have to get that steal header back up today. We took out the furniture through the window while its out with our forklift Kathleen is going to remodel the main salon. Started putting the paneling back up as it has to be there for the windows to go back in, found out Kathleen painted the wrong side of 2 of the new panels but thats not a biggie after window are in she'll paint them.    

The pop up floor is finished and properly adjusted but I did it wrong the first time. I had thought that if all the 10 floor levers where the highest position angle when the ram was in the up position then I could put the floor back on top and it would work right, WRONG. You must install the floor and have all 10 levers (2 nuts each) installed but not tightened then as shown on the picture with the hydraulic ram in the extended position (floor up) you adjust the tie rod closest to the ram to get the levers at the angle in the picture. After that is done you make fine adjustments with the 5/16 bolts with slots in the end, then tighten the nut when done. PITA job.          

Half of my shop in on the kitchen counter top.
