clarke, it looks really nice.

This is interesting and very timely. I have been wanting to use a similar product only narrower, just other needs have been arising.
I will be interested in finding out how you like the new flooring after it is completed.
Nice Work Clarke!! Brings back memories of the Million Staples I had to remove replacing the floor and carpet.....
We left South Jordan, UT last Tuesday heading south on I-15, then just around Nehi we picked up US HWY 50 to cross Nevada. We did this drive 5.5 years ago just after we bought our Newell. Enjoyed the drive even more this time. We arrived in Carson City, NV Thursday evening, and will be here for 4 days visiting friends and relatives. We took a drive around Lake Tahoe (the entire circumference of 72 miles) today....perfect weather, so we took the top down....drove about 110 miles in total. Took some pictures at Emerald Bay, and in Tahoe City at the Truckee River.
One of Our favorite spots! Look so crisp and clear! Your coach is in Carson?
Yes Matt....we are in Carson City at Silver City RV Resort until Monday....headed home for the holidays.
Left Carson City, NV this morning before 11 am......entered California again for the first time in 21 months around 11:30 am. Arrived in Mammoth Lakes, CA around 2:30 after a few stops to take in the views, plus a nice lunch in Lee Vining, CA....on the shores of Mono Lake.
We arrived at Rancho Jurupa Regional Park on November 14th and have had a wonderful 2+ months visiting with the kids and grand kids. Our stay here is just about over....on February 9th we will head for Wittmann, AZ to visit the McClouds for couple of weeks....maybe more if they don't make us work too hard....lol.....maybe more if they don't give us the gate code when it's time to leave.

Elaine and I have been working on getting more fit, and losing the weight we have gained over the last 2 years. I started at 211.5 pounds on November 25th, and just reached 190 pounds today for a total loss today of 21.5 pounds. Elaine has lost 15 pounds on her own diet. I've been on the Subway diet.....one 12" Subway Club sandwich every day, plus hot cereal in the morning......that combined with riding my bike 12-20 miles every day has done the trick.....I haven't seen 190 pounds for about 6 years.

We sold the T-Bird, and bought a 2001 VW Beetle 1.8 turbo, 5 speed manual tranny......I had a 1.25" receiver installed so now we can carry our bikes around if we so desire. We love the Beetle (way more practical), but miss the 'Bird.

Our daughter, Sharon, was engaged on Christmas Eve, and the wedding will probably be in September....YAY!!

We'll travel for a few months down through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, then up to South Dakota to pick up the new rear bumper we bought on eBay....Todd picked it up about a week ago, and is holding it hostage.....not really, it's just in his basement awaiting our arrival sometime in April. From there we'll work our way west over to Lake Tahoe where we will spend the summer.
We will leave the light on for you Clarke.
We hope to get down to Austin, and would love to see you, Georgia and Quinn.......
