Before and after

The project is really winding down now....thought I'd start posting some final "before" and "after" photos!

Before:

Probably should state what was changed - 

Removed carpet
Removed entire floor/subfloor
Installed  new floor and vinyl floor covering
Rebuilt "settee" cabinets that were water damaged
Recovered table and shelf with light colored laminate
(Not visible, really) Replaced all lighting with LED's


The After photo!

Final touches for the floor

I wanted to finish off the junction of the new vinyl flooring and the cabinetry a little better.  While I think we did a great job of cutting it to fit closely, there was still a small "crack" between the flooring and the wooden cabinetry.  

Our solution was to stain some quarter round to match.

I think it finishes it off nicely!

 Same thing in the bathroom - this is the tub area.

And here's the finished look. 

Clothes hamper lid

The "clothes hamper" is just a small area that is walled off behind the toilet.   The original old yellow laminate countertop had a similar opening, so Duane duplicated it with our new Corian countertop.  The old opening had a poorly constructed laminate lid that was made using a particle board base.  It was swollen with moisture and unusable.


So, Duane fabricated a new "lid" out of some nice veneer plywood and some oak boards.  The patterned boards hold the lid in place and keeps it from slipping when the trailer is in motion.

Here it is in place, sanded and unfinished.

This is the little hamper space. Note curtains in place now and a nice stained piece of trim on the right to tidy up the countertop finish.

And here is the lid after many coats of Minwax polyurethane.

A nice finish, lightweight and functional.

Built-in gas lantern

Betcha don't see this everyday!!  It's a built-in lantern - like an old fashioned "white gas" Coleman camping lantern.  Except it's fueled by a propane line.  It has the little mesh mantle just like a Coleman lantern.

Duane re-connected the propane line - and it works perfectly! It even makes that same little familiar Coleman lantern "whirrr".   Will be neat to have when we're "boondocking"!
