Got the rubber layed out overnight to let the creases come out of it. And trimmed it to fit.

Then Parked out in the sun to finish curing.  It also heats up the rubber and any small bubbles pull out flat.

What I have left to do is:

1. Insulate and sheet the inside wheel wells.
2. Build countertops for wheel wells
3. Apply floor filler to the entire floor
4. Epoxy floor
5. Build front cabinet and build countertop for it
6. Cut in Cook top in countertop
7. Build back bench
8. build cabinets for overtop the bench
9. Build 2 cabinets for over wheel wells.
10. Finish Trailer lights
11. Put corner trims in
12. install rubber floor base.

Thank you for the update and photos outside looks great. You will have one nice shanty once the inside is completed. Looking forward to photos of shanty on the ice next season.

well I started to play around with what to make my three countertops with.  I originally thought Formica but decided to go somewhat different route.

This is my first test.



This is Vinyl Self Adhesive film just stuck to some plywood.  I used a two part resin (Bartop Finish) to encapsulate it.

I may have mixed in a little powder to the resin though

Be sure you protect the regulator from road grime, build a cover.

Put down the garage floor epoxy.  I mixed silica sand in the epoxy to give a little texture

Tomorrow I will start putting the vinyl down on the counters and wheel wells, hopefully ready to pour the Bartop finish by next weekend.

Did you also insulate the wheel well tops, or is that white Styrofoam on top??
