Once a month doesn't cut it!

Now that the hot summer days are winding down I need to get going with my restoration of the Spartan. The good news is it did not smell as bad today as the last time I was there.

I really needed to get the floor sealed up to keep out the local small animal population. I guess removing the rotted floor pieces removed most of the smell along with it. Today I started replacing the plywood with new 3/4 inch plywood which will act as the base for the luann that will cover the entire floor and should act as a smooth base for my tile.

I am using R13 insulation under the floor and in the ceiling. Hopefully this will keep things nice and warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Forgot to cut the hole for the floor duct! D'oh!

It looks like I will need to cut out more of the floor and replace it because of the wood bracing under it is rotted. I can't wait until the entire floor is solid and tiled!

I am not a big fan of the laminate in the kitchen it's worn and mainly white. I thought this was from the 50's?? White?? Come on! I have a sample of boomerang laminate from Menards in a blue color that would be cool. They quoted me $72.00 for a 4x8 sheet...Can this be right? Anyway, the piece behind the stove seemed loose so I unscrewed the screws and it came right off. Amazing no liquid nail stuff under it! I'm adding a few new outside shots I took today, boy the grass is growing!

She needs to be leveled!
