The floor is in and done for the main portion of the bus. It still needs the linoleum installed and I found a place (Midway rentals in Laurel, MT) that has the 100 lb roller required to flatten down the sheet flooring and set the glue. Now I need to find the right adhesive and I hope to install the linoleum before I head home. This is mainly because the roll of flooring is about 600 lbs and we have no forklift at home to unload the whole thing from the bus.
We also blew a whole day trying to install the marine hatch in bright sun and dry heat, and it was grueling. In the end we could not accommodate the curve of the roof to the flatness of the hatch. We used scrap metal removed from the ceiling interior and screwed it down and sealed it with Butyl rubber.
BUTYL RUBBER: salvation from leaks. Good for just about everything.
Mellie invented a new word. I was so excited I kept saying it was awesome.
And then Mellie said,”no, Mip. It’s AWN-some!”
