This is the life of a dad of three and pastor of a new congregation! Weekends that have free time are hard to come by! I have been out of the country in south east Asia for a couple of weeks and it seems like it has rained here in Houston for the past two months solid, or at least weekends but this weekend the sun came out and I had some free time so back at it!.
We have booked two weeks worth of camp grounds in Colorado for this summer. We will actually spend a week in Palo Duro Canyon inTX for a week then head up to Colorado so I am motivated to get it done!
Today I finished grinding the rust and old muck off the frame and primed and painted it. Then caulked and sealed the trim and roof of the pup. I found a caulking tool at Lowes that is a jewel when it comes to caulking. I ended up with smooth uniform lines and seal it was amazingly quick and easy with this tool.
After that the boys wanted to jump in and help so I left caulking and sealing the body for another day and we raised it up and decided to eat lunch in the pup and then start tackling the interior! It has been well kept and pretty clean so mostly we will just be doing some updating! Time for the 80's flooring to go!
After lunch we shop vacuumed it out and because the floor is all good and not rotted I decided to not mess with removing the antiquated linoleum. Instead we decided to lay laminate wood flooring panels. Even though they were click lock and floating I lid some liquid nails down underneath so we get a good seal and boards won't move exposing space between planks so it will be moister barrier and not warp.
It came out really nice! Tomorrow after church I'll try to get the quarter round in to trim it out and it will be be a complete floor! Then we will tackel the counter tops and made stain the cabinets!
All in all it was a good day! I still need to caulk and seal the exterior body and get the AC cover back on but we should be good to go for Thursday's debut one nighter to Stephen F Austin state park here in TX!
