one almost down...





This is the inside of the 'trailer' where i imagine most of the long cold winter was and will be spent.
It was originally the office unit with fake wood floors. My first project was to replace the floors with formaldehyde free and renewable source plywood covered in a 'natural' oil/wax finish. Essentially nut oil. Bad idea.
After having 50 of my closest friends over to test it out, i realized that it is impossible to clean. Bad idea.
Still seeking a solution.
Also in desperate need of some second hand AS4 Shelving.

Welcome to the blogosphere. Be careful, it spreads like cancer. Also, etiquette dictates that you link to any other previous posts on other blogs which address your specific property. I can think of one, off hand.

An excellent idea, I think, to chart the progress!

Also, consider epoxy-based paint on that floor. Highly cleanable. Bulletproof. But, it is paint. To chart the visits you need statcounter.com. Then you can do anal retentive analysis of each and every visitor, attempting to parse their motives, frequency, interest... A fabulous waste of time.
