I watched all those videos this morning! The Forrester has skin just like my Bellwood--with that weird "s" curve. I got mine apart the same way you did, by prying the lip open a little with a screwdriver. Do you think that's a good method of interlocking the skin? Why was his leaking at the top seams? Mine hasn't leaked at ALL from the seams so seeing his makes me a little nervous.

Only thing I can think of is possibly snow loads slowly seeping in to the seams. And I did not like that double J lock either. How do you like the series so far?

I like it!! There's always something to learn from your videos Larry. I was kind of hoping you absconded with that pretty black and white dog that came up to you in video 3 or 4 though. Okay good, I'm not going to worry about my seams since we don't really have snow. Lol. Those seams make it really hard to reattach the panels without two people. The only convenient thing about them is that once you get them hooked together good they are definitely not coming off.

Well the bottom panel that I put on was a new one. So it didn't have that bend in it because I had no idea that the seam would be like that in the first place till I got to Steamboat and opened it up. So as you will see I did something different puting the new back in with the old.

Doing a great job as always. Just watched the videos and I have a friend moved out there (colorado)one time and they came home after a year or so. I asked why and all they kept talking about were the bugs and mosquitos were worst there than they are here in Arkansas. Thats bad if they are worst there than here.

There is a sulfer pond right on the corner of the main drag, 40, and the tract that I was working in. Plus you have the Yampa River there and rain on almost a daily basis which was something I was not really aware of LOL. So lots of moisture and temps in the mid 80s equals bugs. More to come so keep watching. The adventure continues. I'm posting about a video every two days.
