Battery box fix

Well, we were not happy with the price of a new battery box ... so Colin came up with the idea of fiberglassing the one we had. This would give us a box that was stronger than the original. Today his crew removed the old box (which requires removal of the exterior battery box door), and glassed it up.

This will allow us to replace the wood floor below the battery box, which was a bit smelly due to the rat who used to live nearby. I had taped it up temporarily to prevent odors in the trailer during our last trip, but this repair will be permanent.

I'm headed over to Plattsburgh myself tomorrow to do a little grunt work (replacing belly pan rivets, tightening screws, drilling holes, etc) and supervise the installation of the Internet-in-Motion system. I'll shoot some pics then and post them here and on the photo site.
