New linoleum was received today, and the first section is being installed here. The new material is nearer the camera, with my hammer and tacks; the old material farther away already has a first coat of the finish brown color. After installing the first 18 feet, I started painting it with brown primer. Slightly more than half the main compartment floor now has two coats of primer.
And after I ran out of paint for the floor, I went back to sanding some of the mahogany molding strips where refinishing is in progress.

Here's what the main compartment looks like, with the platform for working on the ceiling. It's just a piece of 3/4 plywood framed with 2x4s, sitting on four plastic sawhorses. Much better than trying to work from a ladder.
A couple of views of the ceiling. This whole area was burned to the carlines in the 1971 fire, so all of the woodwork here is new.
