Sort of. The very last board on each side in the front is not going to go in without a serious fight. As it stands we can’t get them in without either breaking something or cutting something major so we backed off. Both boards are short and will likely be covered by either trim, cabinets, or some foam blocks that cover the side curtain airbags. We are definitely calling it done for now! All of the supports are still up until the glue *really* sets, but it looks nice.
With that finished I also took a bit of time to install the floor trim on the rear door. This was a little more complicated than the slider door because the rear door arcs. I ended up cutting five pieces of trim with a few degrees of angle to wrap around the curve.
My dad came by to check on our progress so we have a couple group photos. Here Sara and I are deciding which board is going to go in.

Trim installed. It looks nice, but I’m not sure the effort to extend the floor all the way to the end and make it look nice was worth it! It definitely added quite a bit of extra time compared with most builds that just end the floor short of the rear doors. Also, we didn’t bother at the time to cut a hole to access the spare tire mechanism so now we have to find where to drill the hole. Probably should have just done that when it was visible!
With things essentially finished on that project we owed the dogs a nice walk. We also wanted to get a Christmas tree for the van. So, we headed out to the snow to play. My dad came along because he wanted to get some sunset photos at a park up in the hills above La Grande.
