Floor!

The floor ended up at the top of the list.  I had everything for it, so I started.  It is amazing how things get finished after simply starting.  (Philosophical thought for the day).  I had a small dilemma because I bought the radiant floor before I changed my mind about the inside layout of the house so I had to reconfigure a little bit. The way it is layed out now...4 1/2' x 10' of radiant heat down the middle of the main section, a 1 1/2' x 5' section in the bathroom, and another 1 1/2' by 5' section near the entry door (but not centered because of the "closet" that will be on the starboard side.  
So here are the photos... view from the entry.

Then putting in the laminate.  

Halfway there...

One row left at 10pm.  Thought I'd give my neighbors a break and not run the saw at that hour so I waited until the next day to finish up. :)

All finished and the fridge is back inside before the rain.

Bathroom floor and under the rolling pantry/bathroom door

The last thing to do was attach all the wiring to the thermostat, which had to be done about 4 times but finally got finished and finished properly.  Need a little power to try it out now...

Loft floor

I was so much enjoying the ease of putting together the flooring on the wall that I thought I'd do the loft floor too!  It really was THAT easy. Ok, I know it is just a rectangle with no difficult cuts, but it was very rewarding and didn't take very long!

Underlayment...

Halfway...

Finished!!

Now for a couple of days off from the bungalow to plant my garden and get my yard looking like someone lives here!

Starboard wall

As I was debating whether to hang the door or put up wall covering, "eeny meeny" determined that wall covering was the very best one that my mother told me to pick...the door was not it.  So here is the beginning...


One section up to the loft joists...

Before the second section...

After the second section.

Almost finished with the third section...

That wire looks so strange hanging out of the wall, but it does have a purpose.  It will attach to the thermostat for my radiant floor, which thermostat is in the interior wall that separates kitchen from bathroom.

Whole wall finished up to the loft joists.  Yehaaaa!

So now it is time to seriously think about finishing up the electrical, and beginning the plumbing.  Electrical will go out the wall on the tongue side with the breaker box and all the electrical paraphernalia being in a box that sits on the tongue of the trailer.  Plumbing, both water and propane, will all live in the port side wall.
