Kitchen floor needs to be fixed.

Ripping Up Kitchen Floor

One step closer to finishing the floor for good. After the kitchen floor there will be only the front to do. But now the fun bit of pulling up the old floor, they keep using too much glue on one side again.

Two side’s???

There are two side to every bus and on this bus one side the floor is glued down way more than the other. The driver’s side had always been the painful one to rip up. I’ve started on the easy side even though I know it’s better to do the crappy job’s first.

First off I’ll have to pull up the rubber floor.
Now the side that was glued down more.
Ripping up more flooring this time the kitchen.
Now that’s the easy side done.

Now the hard side

So I’ve had to cut the old floor ply into little pieces just to get it up, the floor that is!!! One bit at a time I had to pry up and scrap off the glue.

I’m having to cut the flooring into small bit’s to get it up.
Thank goodness that’s done.

New ply time

Next I’ll have to cut off the old seat rail that runs down both side’s of the bus so I can fit the new floor sheets into place.

Just have to cut off the old seat rail now.

Now all I have to do is cut the new flooring to size and screw and glue it into place. Yes glue and lots of it as I’m not going to be pulling it up ever again.

Ply board ready to be cut to size.
One sheet down one more to go.
Kitchen floor down.

After this I’ll only have the floor down the front to finish, so I’m looking forward to that day. The next job though will be vent’s in the wall for the fridge.
