Are we fickle or what?

I just told you we were all set on our floor until December, but no....  We were sitting here looking at our wonderful plywood floor, very chic you know, when we started thinking maybe tiling the galley, the hall with our shower in it, and the toilet compartment might be a good idea after all.  Besides just being fickle there were a few compelling reasons.  One, there are 3 slide rollers on our passenger side front slide out.  These are the rollers that the whole slide moves over when the slide goes in or out.  The front roller is mounted to the motorhome so the slide just rolls over it, but the middle and the rear rollers are mounted to the slide itself, so when it comes in or out it actually rolls over the existing floor which used to be tile, is now plywood, and was going to be engineered wood flooring.  Well no matter how careful and clean you are there are invariably going to be times when a small stone, some errant gravel, some aggressive dirt comes off a shoe or whatever, gets caught under the roller as it comes in, and boom, a big scratch!  No such problem with the tile.  Two, we were a little leery of wood floors dealing with water directly in front of the galley sink, just outside the shower, and right below the sink in the toilet compartment.  So yes, after we had made up our minds definitely, we decided to change them once again, and tile the galley, down the hall, and into the toilet compartment, and to make sure we don't change them again, we went and ordered and paid for the tile :-)

We haven't mentioned this to our prospective tile installer yet, but we are confident he will welcome the increase in the size of the project, we hope!  So, Jan and I will have to start demolition very soon.

This week has flown by without us doing too much other than enjoying the warm pleasant weather, having lunch with Dick and Ann, always a good time, visiting with Karen, and also with Tom who is down for the weekend.  Later today, the four of us are going to meet Steve and Bobbie for lunch in Sarasota.  It sure makes us appreciate our weather looking at the rest of the country, keep warm everyone!
