I finally got to finish the insulation and put down my subfloor. I like the looks of some of the hardwood flooring but I'm still not sure. [Roll Eyes]  -  - Still a work in progress!! Might just find some green shag!!NOT! [Big Grin]

This was posted in May. I've added framing and cabinets with an overhead shelf in the back and down each side. Still not finished but I'm gettin' there.
I put down the floor first Keith to set the cabinets on top of it. I wanted to build the frames for the cabinets with 1x2s and then cover the frames with bead board.
To protect it while working I bought some of those interlocking pads that PepBoys sells to stand on and cushion your feet. They're cheap and I could use them later in the garage.
I needed 'em too. That's pine flooring not hardwood so it's not as tough.
I added a sleeping platform right before GSVR II in October and haven't worked much inside since.
Had to rebuild the rearend: new axles, bearings, seals, clutch paks, wheel cylinders, brakes and u-joints. That slowed me down some.

Looks good catfish.

I did my floor before the walls for the same reason, wanted the floor to go under the cabnets and the walls.
