And finally, the rot is out. Time for some fresh metal fitting.
I like to creep up on fitment, so I cut the pieces slightly oversize and use a flap wheel to get it really close. I tack when the gaps are looking pretty good. It seems there are always some tight gap spots, and I open them up with the cut off wheel, either the 4" or the Dremel.
Now we'll see if my daughter wants to do some tacks this weekend. There's definitely no shortage of opportunities.
