Well I got the floor all finished finaly! It was a rough job and not one part of this MH is square.. lol Check it out!
I originaly not going to do anything in this area but my perfection got the best of me and after clearing out the carpet under the inverter and moving plumbing and wiring around found it to be in rough shape so I tore it up and layed new floor.
I painfully removed the wiring and plumbing, I labled the best I could I'm sure it's going to be fun putting all this back together :)
Got it all ready for some freash lumber, I was able to peal the wood free from the original foam, that make me happy I didn't want to buy another sheet of foam for a little section. The wood here for the most part turned to dust.
New wood layed down, I decided to install underlayment through the whole motor home to give a nice even freash surface and to stiffin up the floor, it worked!! but again hard to install as I had to go under and around things I didn't remove and nothing was square.
Bathroom floor, plan on laying vinyl floor in here even under the tub for that matter I'm going to lay vinyl in and under all cabnits and storage areas.
See what I mean, look at the wedge I had to put in next to the kitchen counter, lol wait tell you see the closet it's shaped like a piece of pie.
Well that's all for now.... moving onto the left wall starting at the bathroom and working my way forward since I need to install the inside paneling from the outside since I didn't remove this area's cabnets. I figure I will do the whole wall like this that way I can install any suports I need such as for the table mount cabnets etc.
Stay tuned!
