Wallpapering over Paneling in an RV


So just hit me the next time I say I want to wallpaper. It's bad enough on four relatively straight walls with no interuptions. Try an RV with curves and windows and corners with beadwork and paneling with grooves! Didn't have to fill in the grooves as they were minimal. Thought I was going to go up to the seams in the corners as they had rubber bumpers in them, but alas the first one went around tightly and seamlessly sooooo.....I thought why not. Well the other two not so much. One small child with pokey fingers and I have holes!

Brightened it up anyway but next time I will choose paint! Well paint only as I had two coats of primer on this paneling so it wouldn't bleed through.

First Venture out of the Barn!





Okay, the day was sunny, the neighbors were home and we pulled the big bad stinky beast out of the barn for a car wash trip! More than one head turned let me tell you!

Flooring Update


Kilzed the floor today, just as a precaution against any trapped smells or leftover moisture damage. There are two kinda cushy spots in the floor where the seams come together but there doesn't seem to be anything structural. We will be laying a thin luan layer of wood over the whole thing just for some additional support without lots of extra weight. I am still debating on the couch/bedroom area. Found a complimentary caramaly colored wallpaper for this area but didn't realize i still have to kilz it first which means more painting! Don't get me wrong I love to paint but this area is so close and it is a pain to tape off and edge yikes! I will sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow. This weekend is the big push to get alot done as john has friday off as well as the weekend! Stay tuned!
