upgrading the trailer

[daviid]

before work began




ready to start


painted


most of tile laid down


i have 2 florescent lamps i still need to install as long as several outlets that are going in. im also throwing in some old cabinets when i find them, im hoping to find someone remodeling there kitchen.

looks great, what size is that? and what's up with the bare spot along the left side?

[TTD]

Are those individual squares on the floor? Are they the self-stick kind?

If so, did you use any glue? With the cold/hot temps, my tiles came up after a year or so.

After that, I sprayed 3M adhesive on the tiles first, and they stuck perfect for several years... till I sold it.

You just talking about that black can "Super 77" 3M stuff? (at least I think it's called that...or I'm thinking of tape).

I am doing a similar project that is protected from elements but will be at temp extremes and the tiles can be self stick or I can go the DIY adhesive route.


Trailer in the above pics has made quite a transformation, nice work

[TTD]

Yeah, pretty sure it was a black can. But any of the spray adhesives should work.

The glue on the tiles is OK for a nice, warm house... but didn't do too well in my trailer.

yeah, there is 4 sq's per tile. im not really too worried about temps right now as im in NC. the tempature changes are not as drastic as they are back home. but if they do pop up i will keep that tip in mind. thanks tony

I would consider renting that out as a portable apartment!

Hey David,

Where did you get the tiles that are 4x4? I'm thinking those might hold up better than the 1x1's

sorry bout that, they are still 1ft tiles, but 4sqs in a tile. i thought you were talking like 1ft black tiles & 1 ft white tiles.
