Skirting is on the RV, and I think we're ready for winter now! We've used 2" XPS foam board like this for the past few years and it's always worked well.

Each year we've been able to use up the foam board in building projects, so nothing goes to waste. But next year we might leave this on and just add some ventilation as it should help keep mice out of the RV - it's sealed up _really_ tight right now!

Now the building roof is complete, we’re turning our focus to winterizing the property and our RV.

This means adding foam board skirting around the RV, putting away various tools, outdoor furniture and the grill, tidying up a few fallen trees on our forest trails, installing reflective driveway marker fiberglass poles for the snow plow and a bunch of other tasks.

We’re also expecting the delivery of our exterior insulation boards today - our next project.

Getting our RV ready for winter (we’ve been living in it 6+ years at this point, and this’ll be our 3rd Vermont winter in the RV) and one of the maintenance tasks was to fix the recently broken MaxxAir fan. Somehow this gear component which attaches to the motor shaft to raise the fan lid had, well, essentially exploded. This is made of metal!

Fortunately a replacement part was only around $30 and easily installed.
