http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan.html I have 3/4 inch Nyloboard to use for the replacement floor. It's pretty heavy and it flexes, so I'll need some help maneuvering it around into place. It's not good to try to put it in for a dry fit, take it out, trim, put it back in, etc. I took the advice of Pizzachop on the Airstream Forums and bought a piece of thin lauan plywood. It is light and it flexes, too. We have had so much rain since the weekend. Today was beautiful. So, as soon as I could, I finished grinding out the elevator bolts and slid the lauan in for a fitting. http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan.html#0 6e8b99b9-eda6-4c5e-8bfb-2f94c7d0ea1c http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1647.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1647.jpg?derivative=micro http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1647.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_166_112"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Sun was going down, but I took some snaps anyway.</p></div></div> http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan.html#1 98e874a2-fc90-40aa-a4d1-26533a4f65e0 http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1625.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1625.jpg?derivative=micro http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1625.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_166_112"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Inside, it's starting to look like an Airstream again.</p></div></div> http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan.html#2 cd8a9d4e-3d0d-4a7e-a3ca-d6b6eb96545c http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1637.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1637.jpg?derivative=micro http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1637.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_166_112"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Lauan is a good fit, exactly 4 feet, or whatever is the stock measure at Lowe's.</p></div></div> http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan.html#3 edac7206-6338-4be4-9bb7-82f83c4e0d3d http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1639.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1639.jpg?derivative=micro http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1639.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_166_112"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">I left all the electrical stuff right where it was, carefully labeled.</p></div></div> http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan.html#4 a3594076-8123-4f83-8543-1de04e6c214e http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1640.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1640.jpg?derivative=micro http://web.mac.com/agm57/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/IndyAnnes_Airstream_Chronicles/Pages/Floor_Pattern_Lauan_files/Media/100_1640.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_166_112"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">This rounded corner is where the toilet was.
