Day of the Rivets (Part II)
We're well under way! Last weekend our friend & neighbor Jeff came down to join the rivet removal fest. Technical Note: I've used 2 kinds of grinding wheels, the Ryobi brand, and the "3x" brand available at Home Despot. The 3x wheels cost about $2 each and last through about a hundred rivets. The Ryobi wheels last through about 10.

Insulation removal.
Finally the sheet steel walls are out;
time to remove the nasty fiberglass insulation.
Looking forward. We'd covered the driver's area with a tarp to protect it from rivet dust.
At last, the steel interior walls, all flooring, and insulation are out. Woo-hoo!
