A very nice job on the polish up!!!

...when one thing looks better - we must inevitably spend more money to make something else look better too.

Thanks, Bill. Now the real "fun" starts. I removed the toilet and I'm re-doing the floor.

I work on the ceiling this past weekend.

and "after"

Wow, I like, I like !!....Great job......
Can ya tell us more about the product & source, how it's applied and how did you deal with the raw edges along the sides?

Thanks, Lee. The material came from Fabricland, a chain of fabric stores here in Canada; it was about $12 a running yard (by 4 1/2 feet). We used the spray-on 3M upholstery adhesive to glue it over the plywood ceiling. (We only re-covered as far back as the kitchen). I still need to buy some moulding for the corners, but the total job didn't cost more than about $90.

WOW!! Beautiful ceiling! I know what my next project will be. We had a little leakage around the antenna that wandered to the fore roof vent and did some staining but no real damage to the luanne ceiling panels. The trim is put up with those neat little screws so I just have to find a bit for them and the rest should be a piece of cake. I won't use exactly the same upholstery but we have Joannes Fabric down here and they have tons of stuff.

Thanks, Danny. We burned the "midnight oil" finishing up all the cove moulding last night, but dog-onit, I forgot to take some pics.
I've almost got the head ready for service. I cheaped out in there; linoleum I found in the shed and vinyl moulding with lotsa silicone.
Teresa, my Better-Half, painted the inside of the door and the rear stateroom. She's a good little painter.

Got the trim in place...
