Rodent Barrier

Here is some more updating specific to the trailer.  Over the past month Lisa and I have been gathering up scrap pieces of wood from construction sites. (Specifically 2 times from the new hospital under construction at my work.)

Before running boards along the length of the trailer to attache the rodent barrier, Lisa and I went to Home Depot to pick up 2 Aluminium flashing rolls, metal screws, grey water holding straps and some leak seal.  Finding the best and longest wood from our hauls was the first step.  

You can see one of the rolls on the bottom left of the picture.
After attaching the boards to staple the aluminium to, we attached the grey water holding tank, in what we think is the most optimal place. (Drive side, in front of the wheel wells)

 If you look closely, you can see the 2 smaller boards in place to prevent the tank from moving from left to right.  Lisa placed these boards in order to give it that extra bit of security.

The reason for attaching the tank at this stage is to reduce the amount of crawling around under the trailer later in the project.
Now the trailer is ready for the Aluminium flashing. The purpose of this is to prevent the rodents from infesting.

This photo was taken before stapling the last row of flashing. (the middle row)

Now that we have completed the rodent barrier, we are ready to commence the sub floor with insulation.
