We have two large slides in the Raptor that leak if it rains a lot. Over the last year they have been leaking so much that the carpet has been getting saturated. A few times it was so bad that we had to get our fans and towels to help dry the water so we don't get mold. After this last rainy season, we decided that it was time to take a look at the floor boards and make sure that the wood wasn't rotten or growing mold.
While Theo and I were in Wisconsin, Josh tore out the carpet, cleaned the wooden floor boards, painted the boards with wood hardener, and then added sealant.

The chemicals were very strong so we decided not to go back to the Raptor after we got home from Wisconsin. Instead, the three of us headed to a hotel in Bolingbrook for a few days while the sealant dried and the smell dissipated.
[Hanging out at the hotel. I really miss having a couch sometimes!]
This last weekend Josh finished the job by laying down new carpet and sealing the slides from the outside. Hopefully this will prevent water from getting in in the future.

Thanks Josh for doing all this hard work (while working six days a week) and making our little Raptor a great place to live!
