Thanks guys. It sits on the floor a lot better than I thought it would. I think we doubled our snow amount overnight,

Ok, still white crapping. Shovel the steps, shovel so I can get the gate open, clear snow off of portable garage, clear snow off truck, throw snow at dogs, clear off 5th wheel roof, come inside. Look at weather. Great, heavy white crap warning.

Evening Steve, Rick.

Just under half way Steve. That was sort of the plan for this week. I have to disconnect the dishwasher and remove the bottom cabinets around the sink. That will start on Monday. This is too much like work. Tired back and knees. I am happy with the way it looks so far though.

It took me the most time to figure out the easiest way to get the pieces to lock together and have a row stay locked while adding to the row. Think I have the hang of it now.

That's the way I am doing it. All the pieces are the same length in the box. So I am using one trimmed piece per row to keep them staggered. The room is square so the short piece is always the same length.

I like easy. It sure didn't start out easy. I was getting pretty frustrated with getting them to stay locked.
