I have to cut a hole for the Trimetric, but to be sure I don't hit the wires, etc, I'll pull the solar controller to see where things are at.
I've spent many hours/days rewiring & adding to old houses, often behind wainscoting, lathe walls, etc & have lots of experience doing "old work".

Received our first pictures today!  Not much done yet, but I really wanted to see what our bare shell looked like.  I had to lighten them a bit since they were dark and it was difficult to see detail.

Can't say I blame you, any pics are a plus and your escape will we completed before you know it. With about 6 weeks before completion, that's not so long. Are you planning on taking delivery of your trailer ASAP or will you wait for warmer weather?

We planned on taking delivery the day after it was scheduled to be completed (April 5) but there was a production issue, so we don't know right now when we can pick it up.
The problem was that our flooring wasn't ordered by Pioneer last July. This wasn't discovered until ETI went to pick it up. Pioneer managed to get the flooring in within a day, but our trailer had to be pulled off the production line. Tammy will let us know by this Thursday if we can keep our original April 04 completion/April 05 orientation.
I sure hope so! We planned a week long trip to get back to Portland, then an intensive couple of weeks work after that, then the Spring NOG!

Those are the first pictures I've seen which show how the foam is installed.

I see there is also a Trimetric RV sold that has a smaller size display. Why did you decide on the A model?

Tom, it's Armstrong Cushion Step G3104. We ordered it through Pioneer Building Supplies in Chilliwack.

Hard to tell from the photos but that flooring looks a lot like the one we had installed in our trailer.
Nice floor.

Hey Gary, are you back on schedule for your original completion date? Super bummer on ETI not realizing that Pioneer hadn't ordered the flooring until so late in the process. Did Pioneer charge you right away and then just forgot to order? I was fortunate in being right there when Jackie (at Pioneer) ordered the flooring from their supplier. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have known unless they sent out emails to that effect. Bummer.
Hhowever, nice flooring. Glad they were able to get it so quickly for you.

Laura, Jackie wasn't there when we paid for our flooring last July, and when Pioneer realized what had happened they hustled and got our flooring out of Vancouver the next day. But by that time we were pulled off the production line.
Though I must say that ETI has been really great at getting us back in production. We got our third set of pictures today in as many days (I'll be posting them soon), so it seems that they are truly trying to get us back on schedule. Tammy said that I should know tomorrow about our completion date.

John and Laura,
Thanks! We really like the flooring and it does look like your flooring, John.

When picking up your trailer, you might want to take it slow! Right now that beauty is in high gear on the production line:-).

Fingers crossed for ya! I'll mentally send a good word towards you as I zip around Portland tomorrow on 205, on my way to Corvallis. I'll find out when I get back. It'd be great to meet you at the Spring NOG.
