09 Put the top back on.

This effort actually started before the final installation of the fuel tank. Fiberglass & epoxy strips had to be made up and bonded to the inside of the unit. Everything (tank, top, strips, sight gage, etc.) had to be fitted and placed to make sure the top went back on properly. The door sill had to be repaired. Upholstery had to be repaired and replaced. And, of course, there had to be some excitement in the hanger unrelated to the work.

The back is well bonded across the width of the wall, as are the two sides.

Then we had a bit of drama as the sink developed a leak in the feed line.

It was a pretty good flow of water for a while. Flooding the back of the hanger. No real damage as, from previous experience, I try to keep things off the hanger floor in any case.
