New Project- Code name "Journey"

Yep, And caulk. And caulked the screws

I think it is coming in through the frame of the window itself....

[GypsyDogs]

That is what i focused on this last time.. With my tiny caulk gun

Have you removed the screen and checked the frame joints in that area? I went back to your exterior pic and enlarged it. Looks like a possibility for a leak?


Or tape plastic over the flat edge inboard of the screws and cover the glass / screen area and see if it dries up. Might help narrow down the source.

...yes to the screen/frame/caulk question- as I said, that is where I focused this last time. And yes, i hit Both sides.

Well, then it is too late now.
I used what i had on hand

[GypsyDogs]

never thought I'd be annoyed by good weather.. lol  little/no rain last night.
Well, that will change today, thank heavens.. should get rain and wind tonight.. that should do.  

also- my employer teased me about leaving at the worst time.. Apparently there is a HUGE job coming in - something like 10x the size of our normal stuff.
So- I generously offered to delay my vacay a week, to help out.
(and gain another week of build/troubleshoot time.. )
They will let me know Monday or Tuesday, if my vacay starts on Wednesday or not..  

Today, I plan on finishing the bed, and getting the kitchen/desk in place, and working on battery box, and finding a 'curtain/desk' (yeah things are multi purpose..lol) had another flash of brilliance that might work...

Hallelujah!
Trumpets, Drums, Lights from on high, Choirs of Frigging Angels!

   
after 20-50mph winds and pouring rain last night.
I feel relatively confident it holds against water now.

Also on the list of accomplishments
   
Physical security - throw bolt goes Into the Steel Frame of the door and 2 of the plate screws go into the steel door framing.. that should do for now..

   
visual security too

[GypsyDogs]

and my tiny overlords were supervising the proceedings yesterday
   
when I work outside, they seem to hang out nearby to watch..

zoom in..

Yesssss! Now, onward. May the rest of your build be trouble free. Or at least lots less troublesome.
