Kitchen

The kitchen is mostly installed before the walls go on. Everything is accessible after the walls are added but it is faster to install it before the walls go on.
			The vinyl is applied after the floor has been floated with wood filler and sanded smooth so no joins in the sub-floor or hardware will show through.
			The floor mounted cabinets are added on top of the vinyl flooring. If you decide to use vinyl outside the cabinets they use one unbroken sheet.
			The oak floor is cut and fitted one piece at a time without any glue. Once the entire floor has been cut and set in place it is taped together and moved to a sheet of cardboard. The entire floor is then cleaned again and the glue is applied to one section at a time. The oak is then transferred to the glued area and each piece is nailed down in addition to the glue.
			If you select a rear kitchen you can have the propane tank slide tucked under the corner of the kitchen cabinets. It is installed in a galvanized box that is covered with the same carpet they use in the basement. This uses the corner space that is usually hard to get into and makes changing propane tanks a breeze. If you opt for a center kitchen they mount the tanks in a slide in the basement.
			This is the kitchen Corian being assembled prior to going into the trailer. The Corian tops are available in several colors and with several edge treatments. Our first Automate had the fluted edges and they looked great, they were however hard to keep clean. On this trailer we opted for the rounded edges, they look good too and are much easier to keep looking nice.
			The bathroom sink Corian is receiving it's final polish prior to being installed.
