You re doing a real nice job Theresa. Mighty impressive. Thanks. I don't feel that it's as impressive as I'd like to have it be by this point. But when I look back on my timeline, I can see some progress. SaveSave

Was not so over whelming with that thought. LOL

Just getting warm enough on the weekends in Maine to justify heating up the garage to a workable temperature. I'm getting the trim put on the kitchen area. So far the counter and table top is done. I'm now at the point where I feel every little thing I add makes a difference. Photos to come soon.

AND a call from Lowes that my special order VCT tiles are in. Hi I LOVE your floor! Can you tell me what is the name of the teal tiles you used? I think I want them for my trailer- as they match really well! Love to see your progress! Thanks Kathy

I ordered samples of each color I thought I might be interested in from the Armstrong website. Then once I decided, I ordered them from Lowes, one box of each color. I believe in looking at these swatches on the Armstrong site, I went with silver green: www.armstrongflooring.com/commercial/en-us/products/vinyl-composition-tile/std-excelon-imp-texture.html

I ordered samples and they arrived today! Love that I can get a few and see which is best. My new subfloor is in- but I am so afraid to put in the tiles - wont they get messed up as I am working on putting everything back in the trailer? Guess you guys cover the new floor well when working...but I still worry:) Thanks for the help with the floor- think I am going with the teal. Keep up the good work on your trailer- love to see your progress. K

There's a cardboard/paper type product that you can lay down on the floor to protect it. I've seen it at Lowes.

As vikx mentioned in her post, you can buy rolls of a pinkish paper at Lowes called Rosin paper. link I figured it would be much easier to put the flooring down while I had no walls or obstructions to contend with. I'll give it another coat of polish when I'm finished.

I put my flooring down before the cabinets go in, makes for a really clean look!

Just went through your thread. Really nice work! It’s inspiring to see others’ progress. Love the floor. Also, did you have your bench seats professionally upholstered? They look super nice. I'm wondering how affordable that would be to do...

They cost my $500, very pricey but a job that's well worth leaving the the pros in my opinion. I will need a back couch made from scratch and may attempt that myself.

I also got my frame back from the mechanic yesterday. For $600, she got new springs, shackles, brake assemblies, new fresh packed grease, the old jack cut off and the new one installed, and a bent outrigger straightened. I just finished spreading on a layer of Skyco Ospho rust treatment and hopefully if it doesn't rain tomorrow I'll have time after my three photoshoots and before the Patriots game to get the POR 15 rust preventive coating on it. SaveSaveDo you happen to know if the springs were standard size? or did they have to weld a new spot for the bolt to go onto. Its hard to tell from the pic.

He didn't say mel , but I'll ask him. He's a family friend and responds to texts quite quickly as a general rule. EDIT: He just got back to me and said they were a direct fit.
