Adding Vinyl Plank Flooring to the Casita

We weren’t fans of the grey wood that came with the Casita, just personal preference. We decided to buy vinyl plank flooring to lay on top of the old floor. We did not do any hard-install, because if we resell we can remove the flooring for people that don’t want it. We didn’t use all of the flooring, so we had leftover planks.

Materials
3 boxes of Lifeproof Butler Hickory 22MIL vinyl plank flooring

Tools
Worm drive saw to cut some of the flooring
Measuring tape
Box cutter
Screwdriver for table hardware & trim
Putty knife for trim

Cost
About $180

When you’re replacing the flooring or adding new flooring you’ll have to remove all the trim at the bottom of the fiberglass. You’ll also have to remove the hardware that holds the tables up. This is easy to do.

The hardest part is measuring and cutting. There are a lot of annoying corners and things that don’t line up on the floor. This is what will take you the most time. There were a few planks we could just lay without cutting, but majority needed at least some cutting to fit. My partner did all the measuring and cutting, so thanks to her for doing all that so we now have nice bright flooring 🙂
