Winter hits

Once the subfloor was repaired, it was time to decide on new flooring, cabinets and counter tops. We are pretty sure we want to go vintage, with seafoam counters, cupboard doors and drawer facings, on off-white walls and doors. On the floor, either vintage black and white checkerboard or faux hardwood. But first all the walls and cabinets would have to be primed, and with the low temps that northwest winters bring, painting was going to have to wait.

So...I tackled the outside instead. 

Cleaning, repairing the canvas, and applying waterproofing to the canvas and vinyl. There were only a few rips in the canvas which I hand sewed. I replaced all the bungee cords, which were worn, and frayed. In some cases the previous owner had tied the bungee in knots to expertly repair it. 

There were several short tears and only one major rip in the back end bunk area.   

Chapter 1 - Exploration

There she is. Only $1000! Pretty good shape...  A little relatively minor water damage on one end of the floor. Canvas and structure all pretty good, for being 27 years old. 

After pulling out all the cabinets, I started ripping up the linoleum to get a look at just how bad the damage to the subfloor is. 

As I suspected, pretty minor. About a two foot swath of subfloor will need to come out.
