So how long is “forever”?  Well, it turns out that forever is about an hour and fifteen minutes, which is how long it took me this morning to remove two cedar boards from the right-hand door for the north doorway, move the latch to the correct position, and reattach the cedar boards.  Seems that the much less expensive (than the Locktite PL-series products) Liquid Nails construction adhesive that I used does not bond to Advantech sheathing… and only marginally bonded to the cedar boards, i.e., my 5-in-1 tool scraped it mostly off and a quick hit with the belt sander finished the removal.  Not often, but sometimes being cheap pays off.  After another fifteen minutes moving the latch on the left-hand door, headed to Burlington to spend money, help my mother, and do laundry.  The upshot of my visits to Loews and Pete’s RV was that Chree got a call from our credit card company’s fraud detection center, wondering if some unauthorized person was using our card to go crazy in Vermont.  We assured them that the charges were legitimate, though they had the crazy part right…
