Day 3, I think

I just started and already I don't know what day it is. Yesterday, I needed to remove 8 bolts to get the top off. 5 came off with some special spells and curses. 2 came off with some serious cursing, WD40, and some manly strength. The last one, we tried one of those "grip-it" bits... Didn't work. So, we just drilled into the screw until the head of the screw came off. Way easier solution. I plan on remembering that one. In the end, we did get the top off, and then it was too dark to do any more.
Today, there is rain. Rain. Rain. So, I went to the foam and fabric store. I got new foam for the matresses and canvas to begin work on the sides of the pop up.
Oh the rain, it rains. At least the top is off!!! Hooray!!
Sewing day.
Completed matresses along with the wood and styrofoam for the top when it decides to stop raining.
