Now on to the Pics no one watches porn for the script same applies here now get on with it man!

El Tigre

Okay everybody here's that hit of crack that everyone has been craving for....ENJOY!!

For the flooring I'm using G-Floor. It's a large rolled rubber mat that is awesome and super cheap. The cheapest place is Sam's club online for $200. Anywhere else it will run you $400.





Rolling out a 6ft section for the ramp



Measuring the width of the ramp



Measuring the height of the ramp



Marking off the ramp measurements



Using a straight edge to cut out the ramp piece






Perfect fit



First tried double sided tape, but it's bonding to the wood so I will get some spray adhesive later



I'm going to cover the edges with aluminum flashing corners. A strip runs about $1.87



Will hold aluminum edges down with rounded hex screws




All four sides installed. Looks good



Rolling out the mat to flatten and prep. I'm glad I got a basement big enough to roll this stuff out.



Cutting off the excess material




Rolling the mat length wise to make it easy to roll out inside trailer



If you think the Slatwall is heavy, this shitz weighs 115lbs. It was an absolute bitch to haul from the house to the

trailer



As I said the mat is 10x22 so I have plenty of excess to trim off and use for other stuff



Cutting off the major excess and will trim the remainder with a boxknife



Just need to trim off remainder



The tricky part is triming off enough that when the mat expands and contracts with temparture, no budges or humps form



Almost done



Looks good. Will let it lay flat overnight and settle



Here is a daylight shot of the ramp. I went back and removed the doublesided tape and used the spray adhesive. I'm still getting a lot of lumps when the sun hits the ramp and the rubber expands. I will jack with it later and keep moving.



For the spray adhesive I'm using 3M Type 80 Spray Adhesive. Cost $12 a can. This is the only stuff that will bond rubber to wood. Use in a well ventilated area or else you will get high which is cool, but then you will die, which is not so cool



I'm using the same aluminum corners on the ramp to edge the corners of the floor. Here I'am doing the right side



Now I'm spraying the left side



Installing the aluminum corners on the left side



Now I'm installing the aluminum corners in the front left side



Now I'm installing the aluminum corners in the front right side




Now I'm installing the aluminum corners in the rear



NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT!!!!



Left side BOOM!!!



Right side POP!!!



Front looks tight. Floors are done!!! On to the counters



I'm going to start by cutting out the front counter. Since the front counter is on the slope side of the trailer and has a hump from the encasement, I'm going to cut a template out of some scrap foam insulation



Just to make sure that the counter height is right, I'm moving the cabinets in the front to line the height up with the

side cabinets



It took about 30 min of trimming but I finally got it right




Now I'm marking off the height of the cabinets on the wall so I can install the framerails that will support the counter



For the framerails I'm using 2x3s instead of 2x4s. They are cheaper and easier to handle



installing the front right frame rail




Now I'm installing the left front frame rail



Look ma, no cabinets!!



Now that I've verified that the fit is good. I can cut the front counter out using the foam template




BOOYAH BEEOTCHES!!! Looks like a front counter to me. I won't bolt it in until I build the shelf for the Stereo

components. On to the left countertop



I'm cutting the board for the left countertop



Before I go any further with the board cuts, I'm going to secure the cabinets. I'm using corner braces to secure the

cabinets. They run abour $1.87 a pop. I used four per cabinet



Right side is good



Working on the left



left side is good. This sucka isn't going anywhere



I've already cut the main section of the left countertop which was 8ft long. However since the left counter is 14ft

long, I need to cut a 6ft foot piece



OH YEAH!!



Now I can underpin the left counter with 2x3 for additional strength to keep the middle from sagging. I'm running 2x3 in front, middle and back of the counter to really reinforce the middle.



Moving on to the right side. Drilling the corner braces on the right side cabinets



Doing the other side of the right side cabinets



I'm bolting the two cabinets together in the center



Cutting the board for the countertop



The countertop is in and now I'm measuring off the rear framerail for the 10 in shelf



Adding liquid nail to the brace



Screwing the framerail into the wall and looking like a serial killer at the same time



Adding the center frame rail to support the front of the 10 in shelf



Measuring the countertop off to cut it at the 45 degree angle to lead into the 10 in shelf



Cutting the counter



BOOYAH BEEOTACHS!!!! I love it when a plan comes together!



Adding the 10 in shelf



This is a handle that came with each of the cabinets. Since I'm not attaching them to the cabinets and the chrome fits in with the decor, I'm gonna use it as a bracket to support the 10 in shelf section of the right counter. GENIUS!!



A little bend here and there and BOOYAH!!!



Looks like OPTION C is definely a winner!!! Remember...plan the work and work the plan...



left side looks great. Looka at all that real estate. In my last trailer I only had about 6ft of counterspace. Now I have about 3 times that amount now. Of yeah, with the raised counter height I needed to get a higher chair. I came

across the drafting chair in the picture at a salvage yard for $10!! Normally this is a $150-$200 chair. The only

downside is that I had to totally take the fabric and foams apart and wash them about three times to get the smell out.



right side looks good. Man that chrome handle really fits right in and makes it look like I meant to do it



Still need to brace the front counter and build the shelf underneath to hold the receiver EQ and XBox. Done for now.

Worked all day and I'm a whipped puppy. Stay tuned.

Now that's F-------- Awsome!

Can't wait to see the end results.

Man i will tell you, i just read from the front to hear and i think this is the best Thread on here. Great job. That thing is AWESOME!!!!!!!It will be sick when it is all done.The floor, what a great idea.Plan C was the best, glad you want with it. You could use cove molding around the a/c unit or try to find like what you used on the floor but for the walls. Or you could use screen molding and wrap with a thin sheet of aluminum so it looks good. The stuff for the floor you might have to trim the little edge to fit the 1/2 in or 3/4 in wall board you have but you could make that work. just slide it tight to the a/c unit and your all gone with that.Just a suggestion. Thanks for posting this great stuff. Good Teacher.

Wow! Holy Lots Of Progress Batman!


1 word - epic.

That looks great. Option C turned out awesome!


And in case the 2x4's under the left counter still let is sag, run a bracing piece from the edge of the counter down the the bottom of the wall to help support the middle.

I couldn't sleep so I decided to do some trimwork. I'm covering the exposed wood that was between the Slatwall and the ATP. I'm using 1in wide metal seaming that runs about $7. Here I'am doing the left side



Left side is done, now working on the right.



Now that's snazzy!! Right side is good



I'm about 5 in short on the left side but I know that I will need to buy some more, but it still looks good.



I decided to cover the exposed 2x3 framerails and the exposed hardwood on the cabinets with ATP. I still have a decent amount left and I may as well put it to good use.



Here I'am trimming the ATP for the 2x3s



Goes on smooth like butter. No muss no fuss



The ATP absolutely makes the 45 degree cuts on the counter stand out. DAMN!! I'm good!! Right side is hot



Left side is poppin



The 2x3s are done and I'm starting on the exposed cabinet hardwood



Left side is good



Right side looks good as well. NOW I'm done....Laminating the countertops is next. Stay tuned.

I love this thread. Hopefully, you are an inspiration for others. I want to know what the end $$$ will end up being when you are complete.

You probably should have put the covering on the ramp the opposite way for more traction.
