The last couple of weeks have been involved in reworking and adding to the cabin sides.

I got 5 more sheets of MDO delivered. I'm going to use it to replace the cabin sidewalls that I have in place. One side is "ok", but not great. The other is warping and bubbling up. You can't seem to get decent 1/4" ply around these parts. 1/2", 3/4", no problem... but any 1/4" I find doesn't hold up.

I'm going to modify the design slightly and put one layer of 1/2" MDO on the side panels. The design calls for 1/4" exterior and a gap and 1/4" interior. I'll loose the insulation factor of having two layers, but the 1/2" will weigh about the same (actually, may be less since the MDO is a little lighter than some 1/2" stuff) and will be much more waterproof.

It would have been cheaper and easier if I had just gone that route to begin with.

Cabin sides

Dane got to practice with the jigsaw... he's not bad at that.

Cabin sides

I also got the above window sections sealed up and covered with the skin.
Then I got the bottom sections of the cabin sidewall sealed against the side desks with an epoxy fillet. This pretty much finishes the exterior skin as to getting it mounted. Now for trimming, sanding, sealing, etc.
