[A/S] Re: lining a '79 bath shower
Chris,
Your detailed explanation and the photos described it pretty well.
Firring the walls out with luan was brilliant.
About the only question I have is that it seems you put luan on the
wall between the shower and galley, and I assume the wall between the
shower and hallway. For the exterior curving wall, was the only luan
used to box out around that duct?
While your end result sounds great, I will try my adhesive caulk idea
first. If I ever decide to full time in my trailer, your method
would be time and money well spent.
Since we have the same year and model of trailer, I was wondering if
you have done anything to brighten up the galley, which always seems
a little dark to me with that dark refrigerator and cabinetry
opposite the sink and stove.
I've considered installing a 12 volt fluorescent light in between the
air conditioner and the front edge of the cabinet over the sink.
Also thought about removing the factory roof vent / light combo and
replacing with a modern RV skylight / vent, and a fluorescent light
fixture off to one side. For the sake of keeping things somewhat
original, I don't want to paint all those cabinets a brighter color,
although that would be a quick and easy solution.
