Day 223 - Through the looking glass

As planned, I started working on the rear door tonight. After lightly sanding the primed area to smooth it down (priming seems to really roughen the wood) the glass windows were unwrapped for the first time. Even though they were about a hundred bucks each they still look like glass. :-)

A thick bead of silicone caulk was run around the inside edge of the small window and then the glass was carefully lined up and dropped into place. I was pleasantly surprised to get just a little squeeze out upward around the edges, while most went out and down. That'll make it easy to clean up.

Worked so well I promptly did the big window. :-)

Then it was off the the races with painting. The flip sides and edges of the pieces that didn't get primed yesterday did so today. And a different color was broken out tonight, black! I'm using it in only a single place, inside the door slider tracks to match the UHMW, so it got painted with a brush.

And the corner pieces for holding the door windows were cut out and sanded. I'll trim the silicone tomorrow and then attach the trim pieces to sandwich the glass pieces in their grooves.

All the divots on the floor of the cabin that were missed yesterday were filled today and then white paint was used to paint all the areas in the cabin that were primed yesterday.

Good progress and I'm pleased with the work.
