Having recently replaced the bathroom sheet 48"x 88 + /- ?" in two pieces , I
cant for the life of me figure out how anyone could ever get a sheet across the
full width in one piece , I dont see how you could ever bow the sheet enough to
get it under the flange on both sides , it would need to shrink in width by 2 1/2
inches , which would mean bowing it up a foot or more . The 5 / 8 fir I used was
way to stiff for that . I also dont understand what he meant by "overhanging the
frame by 1/4 inch , does he mean the outriggers?  I did notice on mine that the
upper skin came down just to the level of the top of flooring until it got to the
rear corner , I thought about cutting the skin around the corner and putting in
the full sheet from outside ,after removing the belly skin in the rear . The trim
piece would cover this after it was in and re riveted . The shell supported
itself nicely while the old floor ( 4 'of it ) was out . But I opted for two
pieces from the inside and believe me they didnt go in easy that way . Cant
imagine how he did that .
