New Slideout Floors

Bob spent the morning watching our slideout floor being replaced, while I sat with the pets in the waiting room.  Here is his account of the repairs:

Hello folks.

We rolled into the repair bay at 7 AM and the crew was ready and waiting for us.  They removed some of the interior trim work and pulled out the fridge, couch, and dinette seats to lighten the load and prevent any damage to those items.
Here is the harness wrapped around the slide and attached to the hoist.
The opening is where the connections are for the fridge and slide motors.
Ready to pull out the slide and set it on the padded support braces.
The crew guides it with the hoist into position.
Looking out from the coach at the slide on the supports and the new floor next to it ready to be replaced.
That sure is a big opening. It would be one heck of a window!
The hoist is reattached and the repair is ready to go back in.

The four man crew got the job done in just under four hours.  They all knew exactly what they had to do and barely needed to talk to each other they were so in sync.  Very impressive!
