1989 Fleetwood Limited Remodel with Pictures

That isn't ceramic is it? Why the spacers?

Nope. It's actually a vinyl 12x12 tile made by Armstrong. This particular tile is made to allow grouting if desired. We wanted a realistic tile look with out the added work or weight. When you feel the surface of these tiles, it even feels like a real tile. We finished everything except the bathroom today. So tomorrow we will finish off bathroom and grout the whole thing. We are on our way to home depot now to pick up a few more items. Also have to finish off entry stairs. Pics to come when I get home.

Looks like a lot of work, but it will be nice when done I am sure. I was looking at the pictures of the rv walls. How did you get the contact paper off the walls? I want to take remove our contact paper from the walls but not sure how to do it.
Any advice would be great.

I really like that.  I wish I had seen it before I put the laminate in.  I'm sure its a lot of work but still has to be easier and fit a lot better then laminate. 

I have 2 more pieces to put down yet.

We actually didnt remove the wallpaper stuff. We sanded it and just painted over it. It turned out really nice. I have heard of people using heat gun and removing it though. As for out tile. It is really looking and feeling great. Tried finishing the bathroom today but nearly cut my thumb off with the utility knife so I am taking a break. But floor is now ready for grout. Just have to finish around the toilet and all tile is done.

Looks GREAT!

Question, do you have any fear of the grout cracking, when totally dry, from the coach movement?

 

[PatrioticStabilist]

I was curious about that too, but you did a great job and it looks beautiful.  Doesn't it give you a good feeling of accomplishment.  Hubby said the kind that is elastomeric won't crack.

 

[dolphin_tales]

Yes this grout is specfic for this type of tyle and shouldnt crack. also its very thin, less then 0.100 inch and flexible. Here are some pictures of the entry steps.

We got a batch of our lights in yesterday and got them all installed today. Also finished up the steps and started the corner molding at the floor. Heres some pictures of the new fixtures.

Just about finished the bath room floor today. Here are a few pictures.

Gosh, I really like that too, looks so good.  You do good work. 

 

[dolphin_tales]

Well thank you. That was actually really hard to do and figure out how to finish it off. We just knew we didnt want the carpet around the toilet. Just seemed kind of gross. That is what we ended up with. Today we got more lighting in and our bathroom fixtures. We also put in our new bathroom faucet and all but one blind. Heres some pics

 

[dolphin_tales]

Installed our tv into our bedroom this evening and did a little cleaning to get ready to tile the kitchen backsplash and install the new faucet. Here are some pictures.

 

[dolphin_tales]

Early morning post today. Have to run to the store to pick up more supplies. We started painting bathroom and tiling kitchen backsplash last night. I also replaced and installed 2 new lights at the door on the floor. Old one was out and there was not sufficient lighting at the entry. Heres some pics.
