After breakfast, our plans changed. We put off the Lillington trip until tomorrow. So we started cleaning the house, which lead us to cleaning the 5er. Obviously, that in turn lead to ripping up the now faded blue carpet--a task I started last week but with the wind and rain, I decided to put it on hold.
We originally had the carpet from the front half way back to the kitchen, with the entry area near the door being matching rolled linoleum with the kitchen. Who ever decided carpeting was a good thing for travel trailers? There was dirt, and more dirt. The previous owners lived in it for almost 8 years. Naturally it was going to be dirty. Guess they didn't have one of those vacuum cleaners the door-to-door folks sell...
We managed to get a little over half the carpet out when Mary started suggesting options for the new floor. We had initially discussed a faux wood covering similiar to pergo. After sleeping on that idea for a week or two, the new direction was just linoleum squares. So we headed off to a different Lowes (our regular Lowes is under re-construction) for tile.
Parking lot rule #3--Do not try to park a Dodge 2500 LONG bed in the first spot from the doors. Seems I got a little too close to a mitsubishi something and the owner had a fit claiming I tok his bumper off. Note to myself--PARK far away from others when driving the 20 foot truck.
But, we did find a tile we liked and will start installing it tomorrow. PROMISE we will have pictures of the project here and on Blue Road Blogger .
