Ok, so yesterday (Thursday) I was told by supervisor I had to work the Saturday of my 3-day weekend off. Reminded supervisor that schedule is required to be posted on Wednesday, not Thursday after I leave building to deliver mail. Also said I had made plans for entire weekend (WORK on Airstream).
Then went online last night to discover I have to pay a $256 impact fee, PLUS $78 license fee to get valid tags on Airstream.....
GUESS who's working their day off tomorrow???? lol

It's a start! Installation of self-stick 'tile' in bathroom begins! Will hopefully post a completed photo this evening.

The bathroom tile is sold in packages of 8 pieces. I just weighed one package, and 8 10X10 pieces weigh just over 1 pound. I ordered 11 packages, so guessing that I'm only adding 88lbs. Not anywhere near the weight had I decided to use ceramic tile (which requires a substrate and grout)
Long day today, no idea if I'll get to any of this after work until my next day off on Sunday.
Thanks, Derek

There is either an error in the word problem or the solution, cause I keep getting 11 lbs as well. 
But then again, I also follow the theory of measure twice and cut 15 times.

8 plastic wall tiles = 1 (one) pound by my measure. These things are very light.

1 package has 8 tiles.
8 tiles weighs 1 lb
you bought 11 packages
therefore 11 packages X 1 lb per package = 11 lbs.

Derek promises to LOSE 8lb before he drives the MH anywhere...
Either that or he will take 2 gallons out of the tanks to balance his plastic tile fetish... ROFL.

Don't be too hard on Derek. I have done, and will continue to do the same thing!
\
An example is I have my remodel calculated out to be a 5 year deal. Looks like I forgot a 0 and it should have been a 50 year plan with me starting at 18 to be ready in time for retirement! 
That is of course if it doesn't kill me in the process.

I ordered Olympic Rivets a few months ago, for 'just in case'. Set them to the side (meaning, I lost them). Completing roof painting project required Olympic Rivets, but no where to be found, lol.
So, able to find rivets today at lunch, by chance. NICE that daylight saving is here, I might be able to paint this weekend if I can get Kool-O-Matic replaced with Fantastic Fan.

Derek,
In case you didn't know when installing the Olympic rivets don't forget to dip them in Vulkem. Whoever installed the Olympic rivets on my Argosy didn't do that and I can see water weeping in through the rivets. If I hadn't had the interior skin off while it was raining I wouldn't have noticed the water oozing through the rivets.
The drivers side cockpit window has been removed at some point and replaced using Olympic rivets so I now have to remove every rivet and install new ones coating them with Vulkem in the process 
Brad
