We begin our day with Jack, basking in the
morning sun. (oh, brother)

Naturally, the gentleman who will be installing
our new flooring just happens to own a
Wanderlodge. 1983 40' long.



This is it. Home for at least the next 5 days. Ernie has already been in our coach, checked everything out, made a few excellent suggestions and even showed us some wood samples.
We have decided to go with hardwood as opposed to laminate flooring, and it will be glued down. No floating floor, hence, no hollow sound when walking on it. Tomorrow we go with him to buy the floor.
We are only doing the front of the coach and the bedroom, which means we are leaving our ceramic tile in the kitchen and bath. Right now, in the bedroom, the carpet runs up the wall a couple feet to an oak strip, which we were going to leave. (remember, the carpet is a dark green). Ernie's suggestion is to replace the green carpet with a much lighter, more neutral carpet which will make the room look wider....the best part is that he already has the carpet...and it wouldn't cost anything to us. Woo hoo!
He has offered to build a collar for the steering shaft. Awesome! It will look so much better.
Another suggestion is to put stainless steel on the risers of the steps coming into the coach, with the hardwood on the sides.
I'm liking all of Ernie's ideas and am getting super excited to get this project going.
We got BlackJack a grooming appointment for tomorrow, so he'll be out of the way during demolition and will come home wondering what happened to his house.
