We have really put in the work days on the motor home on our days off. We started this period by cutting the linoleum for the toilet area of the bathroom and then from the kitchen area to the front of the coach. This involved much cutting and fitting. The second day we glued these new pieces to the floor, cleaned excess glue off the edges, and then grouted where necessary. Paint was touched up with semi-gloss where it gets traffic. Except for the bedroom area, all traces of the old dirty green carpet was excised finally today. It was on the entry steps and part way up the wall by the driving area compartment. While this sounds easy, think about glue and uncountable staples everywhere. Old carpet areas were replaced with tile and cherry colored strips which we found at Lowe's. Finally today we glued the carpet in the slide where all of this problem began.
At the end of each work day we clean up our work area and put things back in place to give some semblance of cleanliness and order. We sit down and look at our hard-earned progress and wonder why it all takes so long and so much out of us. Could it be our age? Showers and dinner and then we can relax for the evening. This has been a team and joint effort. We keep encouraging the other and making suggestions that almost always improve the situation. One thing I do know is that we are not going into the motor home improvement business. Happy travels.
