For cheap prepack paints i use the industrial paints from the local paint store, Industrial Finishes... except for red.. which i generally order from trinity... Even including shipping its cheaper, and I have had no problems with their over the years. The other site I order from, which also has the House of color stuff with it, i forgot the name of course... but its early in the am here...

Looking great!

What do you guys use to treat / water-proof your oak floor, as in your staircase, so it will hold up to foot travel and mopping?

Thanks ine advance!

I used an oil based polyurethane that I got from a friend who finishes floors for a living.  Three coats and it is tough as nails.

Really looks great.  I paid $11,000.00 for my paint job (that included some body and rivet work) 11 years ago.
It's nice to see someone else that's using a motorhome style front door. I would suggest you cut a small (12x12) lower window-it's a blind spot and has saved my butt many times (you can see the window in my picture).  Good Luck, TomC

I have enjoyed the RV style door.  I wanted to have a larger window but that was the largest option they had available from the factory.  I have thought about adding the lower window it just hasn't made it to the top of the list yet.

Looks great Brandon :)

I also used a RV door on my Fishbowl Not that we have alot of choices  ;D

I have not put a lower window in, and I might not ever :)

I think you're doing a great job with your fishbowl, but the entry pictures got me curios.  What did you do with the modesty panel to the right of the steps? I could only see a glimpse but it looks like wood?

I built end tables over the wheel wells.  Each has a large drawer and a corian top I salvaged from a kitchen remodel.  Note the latch on the side for locking the drawer during travel.

I have another quick question about your seam sealant. I've checked it out, a like it, but have no idea how much I'll need. Do you have any idea of the coverage or linear distance one plunger will cover? I have a total of 80 feet I need to seal/soften the edge. I contacted the company, and the guy who helped me could not find any data on its linear coverage. He was surprised, and I was bummed. Also, apparently a special nozzle/gun is needed to apply this stuff...can you explain that too?

Thanks in advance!
