Location: Hot Springs, SD | I'm almost a stinking year into this project and just now have the end in sight.. Nothing went untouched! It's a mid 90's weekend package and was pretty "dated" looking with the cheap wood paneling and what not. So of course I had to dive head first into a project I had NO IDEA would be so time consuming and lead to so much unseen work.. But now the end is in sight and nothing has been left untouched! I covered the walls in a faux tan tooled leather and painted all the trim a dark chocolate brown. Used "antique" looking celing tiles on the celeing and underside of cabinets, Ran accent lighting all along the walls, replaced the floor right down to the aluminum (which was two floors that I didn't know of because of a HUGE water leak at one time) replaced all the plumbing, shower walls, you name it!! It's been VERY EXPENSIVE to say the least! Now this is my first LQ so this may seem like a dumb question.. But the step and area right under where you crawl up into the goose to go to bed I was going to do in the same leather as the walls, but got to thinking that it may be to much of a "High Traffic area" to use that there.. With all the bumping into it, sliding your feet down it and so on, would I be ahead to use the "tin" in that area to cut down on wear on the leather? I just don't want to do this twice!Thanks in Advance |

I would use the leather if you are going to have an easy way to get up and down. I wouldn't use it if you think you are going to be "feeling" with your feet for the step. On a side note, we owned/stood Two T Easter Sailwin, 1993 Congress Reining Champion. |
