The Story of a Hinge Screw September 17, 2018, 04:43:28 pm I think during the building of our LD the Factory either stripped a screw attaching the door to the frame or installed a screw one (1) size larger than the others. I had always noticed this slightly larger screw impinged upon the door frame just enough to scar the paint. About 20 times a year I'd say to myself, "I've got to fix that screw." So I finally fixed that screw. I filed the head of the screw just the tiniest bit and painted the screw head and door frame scar with Oxford White. The I used Goof-Off to clean the entire frame and hinges, followed by a treatment of polishing compound. Last step was 2 coats of synthetic wax. Good as new! I suppose I could have attach a picture of the door frame, but instead I wanted to share the inside view of our Rig. And a Rig without a Project List is called JOY. 4 Likes

Re: The Story of a Hinge Screw Reply #3 – September 17, 2018, 09:10:01 pm Thanks for sharing the photo. I love those floors! Did you install them yourself? I often think of changing the original flooring and carpet to wood look vinyl planks, and painting all of the dark wood a creamy white color. I get a little overwhelmed though when I see how much brown wood there is to prep, clean, prime and paint. Then I suppose I would want to reupholster all of the cushions, and on and on....My 2010 MB is in great shape, so none of that would be necessary at this point, but it is fun to think of how nice it could look.

Re: The Story of a Hinge Screw Reply #5 – September 18, 2018, 10:24:14 pm Ed, thanks for the link. The floors look so great! About that toilet area....I recently saw a post about painting vinyl flooring with Zinzer primer, and Porch/Floor paint. The RV renovator said that the painted surface was very durable. Might work on vinyl flooring by the toilet. I believe "Porch Floor Grey" is a color choice at Benjamin Moore. We have a screened porch with wood floors and I do have to say that Floor paint is durable.Just a thought...Have a good week!Susie 1 Likes
