Floor de-treatments and Moan faucets (sic)
Monday, July 12th, 2010We went over to the Airstream to try and get it ready for a trip to Penn Wood Airstream Park, and later on this summer, to Assateague.
The idea was to measure the counter and cabinet and remove the faucet cartridge from the galley. The faucet cartridge had other ideas, though. After an hour of wrestling and wrenching the cartridge, I managed to free it. Well, at least part of it. The center section came out but the outer part stayed. Since Moen actually makes tools to remove the outer part of the cartridge, I guess I’m not the first this has happened to.
Also, we decided to remove the interlocking foam mats as flooring and replace it with self-adhesive vinyl flooring in the shape of wood planks. Putting the new flooring in will be easier if we also remove the kitchen cabinetry first.
The plan is to buy cabinetry from Lowes, either regular ones, or garage-style ones.
In other news, the battery was almost drained. 24 hours of charging fixed that.
