Wood Plank Sand and Finish Floor
Well, that is a good point and one I have considered and it may yet be a deal breaker. It could become a woody. It could very well darken the inside and close it in visually. I am going to lay a couple of long pieces over the carpet and see the change before I make a final decision. The good thing is the floor would butt to white ceramic tile. The white carpet in the coach, primarily in the front, is such a headache and I have not been able to come up with any other option because of the Royale Conversion and its hand crafted wood everywhere. I sure do not want to destroy that effect.
As always, I appreciate your input. Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors Dahlonega, GA Royale Conversion Gregory OConnor

I stored the flooring inside my non air condition shop and inside the bird was the same temp & the same percentage of humidity so I did not fined any need to store the flooring inside the bird.
