Yesterday I got quite a lot done (although it doesn’t look like much). I went through the cycle of painting the bottom of the floor four times with Rust-oleum and then putting automotive undercoat on it. It turned out quite well.

I finally made a blog of this project. It is -in part- to document the process like many other people out there have done and partly for my dad. He is currently riding his bicycle across the United States to raise money for American Lung. This blog can be a way for him to keep
