Slow but steady...

I've been super busy as usual, so trailer time is limited, and my other trailers have been demanding what little time I have lately.
We had to quit playing house with the Spartanette and get this 56 year old linoleum back in shape. We removed all the furniture and stripped it twice, then scrubbed every inch with scotchbrite to get all the old carpet glue, stains, mold, varnish, and whatever else removed. Took me at least ten hours on my knees. Three coats of wax later and it's looking decent again. It curled up at the edges of the tiles where stripper got underneath but as it drys out it's settling down again and isn't as brittle as it was before.


Before...





After...
