Hello all,
Finished up the new floor today and thought I would share some pics. I must admit that this project was a bit more difficult (okay, a lot more difficult) than I anticipated. It took considerably more time than I budgeted for and I can certainly understand why professional installers charge what they do. We had a couple of estimates in the 5K-7K range, which at the time, I thought was outrageous. I still wouldn't pay that much for a new floor in my 30 year old coach, but I would charge that much (or more), if I had to do the install for someone else.
After all the complaining about how difficult it was and how long it took, I have to say it was well worth it. The new floor looks great and really gives the interior a fresh look. I know the carpet that Newell used was very high quality but it was 30 years old and it was time to go.
Thanks to everyone for previous posts on this topic and for those that responded to some of the questions I had along the way.
