Most of the Homasote is screwed down, we still have to do a little work around the lift-gate, we're putting J-channel on the edges so they don't get beat up, and the pop-up hatch will receive the same treatment. After that, we have to trim the edges of the Homasote to match the base fascia layer in preparation for the top fascia layer. any cracks and depressions will be filled in, and it'll be time to paint the surface to provide some sealing and a neutral color.
Of course, then there's the track...
