I wish I had known

Written by Bruce

Lesson learned. The hard way. The really hot, sweaty, gritty hard way. Don’t do it the way I did.

Keeping the flooring underneath the rubber floor? Forget about it. Let it go. Just get out your saw, cut through the floor and the plywood underneath and rip it all out. Done. Finished. A beautifully bare clean slate underneath it all.

I wish I had known this yesterday when I was trying so hard to peel up that super-glued rubber and getting knocked on my butt. 

But my guess is that I will say “I wish I had known this yesterday” about a million times. 

But now? Let me tell you how satisfying it is to open those bus doors and see no more rubber. 

Next step. I’m going to paint the metal floor with Rustoleum. Then, I’ll lay sheets of thin plywood over it. Then, I’ll get the floor installed.

Easy, right?
