After the subfloor was done, I added a vinyl floor above it that will be the permanent floor.

The vinyl was extremely easy to cut with a combination of box cutter (for straight lines) and a jigsaw (for curves). The two hatches can be removed to expose the subfloor to allow the back to be rearranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purple-liquid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PXL_20260516_182846135.MP_-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purple-liquid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PXL_20260516_182846135.MP_-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.purple-liquid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PXL_20260516_182846135.MP_-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.purple-liquid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PXL_20260516_182846135.MP_.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining work is detailing around the cuts. There are some spots that aren&#8217;t as finished as I&#8217;d like them to be. The hatches themselves have some empty space around them as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purple-liquid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PXL_20260516_180226380-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purple-liquid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PXL_20260516_180226380-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.purple-liquid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PXL_20260516_180226380-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.purple-liquid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PXL_20260516_180226380.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all I&#8217;m very happy with how this turned out.

The next step will be finishing this up and starting on some reupholstering as well to make it ever cozier!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s done!
