I've been talking about replacing the floor in my Savage Osprey for years and now I finally have got around to it. I'd been sitting on this project for a while due to being indecisive on what to cover the new floor with. I like the feel of carpet but it's a pain to clean and takes ages to dry and I wasn't too keen on the deck paints I've seen as their quite harsh on the feet and quite hot.
Well things are a bit quiet at work and they decided to close the plant for a week so here was my chance to get this one out of the way and thought I'd share some pics and experiences.
Well here is the existing floor, pretty ordinary particularly in the back corners.
Here she is without the floor, pretty clean I'm impressed
I cut the new floor out of 15mm structural grade CD plywood, 4 sheets did the job
Quite happy, ample clearance around the sides and the pieces fit neatly
I started to paint the new floor pieces when my youngest son calls me over and point out 3 cracks that I missed,,, old age
It's only on one side
Now I have to get in there and strip all the paint around the cracks and make sure it's spotless as I got someone organised to weld plates over the cracks this Saturday.
