Had a really busy Saturday, with the morning spent taking care of all kinds of errands, but I did manage to get the ball rolling on the interior. Took a trip to Lumber Liquidators and picked up a little over 80 square feet of utility oak hardwood flooring. That gives me about 30% more than I need, so I'm hoping of that amount I'll be able to sort out some usable pieces - at about 80 cents a square foot. I should be okay.
Above are the four bundles, along with some underlayment. Below is a couple sample boards ...
As with any flooring, you need to let it sit a few days to acclimate to the temperature and humidity of where it's being installed, so I won't get started putting it in until next weekend. With only 60 square feet to cover, using an air nailer, it should go in quickly.
This afternoon I took the air conditioner out and sanded the walls. The builder had put some poly on them, but they were a bit rough. With my power sander and some 320 grit paper I was able to get the sidewalls nice and smooth in about an hour.
A little 'selfie' from inside the trailer. Brought in some tunes to go along with the work! The shelf behind me is the bunk frame for Nate. Later on I'll trim that up with some cabinetry and a couple guard rails to keep him from rolling out of the bunk.
