update...early morning photos

The floor from different directions. Yes, I know, most of it will be beneath cabinetry. It is an OCD problem I have.

On the third photo you can see where, in desperation, I used some screws to hold the undo-operative floor in place. That is the point where that section became non-floating. It is also where I started to look at, and trim, the bonded underlayment.

The staining continues today.

some pics of the cabinetry being worked on. Wish the photos were better. The color is a dark maple color. I am actually using a Golden Mahogany by Verathane.

Thank Jim!

Your interior wood work is the inspiration for me. Yours is elegant...mine is intended to have a vintage cast to it.

Kind words, much appreciated too. But we both know Paul did all the great work there. I'm anxious to see how yours turns out.

Did you get my note re the vintage WW2 B-17 & the Mustang flights out of San Antonio this weekend? Right up your alley!

I've been out-of-the-loop this past week, and just got back onto the internet, so a little behind here.

Your interior work is fantastic! I really can't believe how quickly you are moving along. We won't get back onto ours until after we return from the Vintage Trailer Academy (lot's to learn), but, watch out then because I'm hoping to get working on her with a vengeance again.

Robin, it's looking so nice. That sink is really nice, and those door handles remind me of vintage auto door handles. Nice.
