first time bolers

[jandv]

We just acquired a 1971 Boler in really great shape. We would like to replace the lino in it, however just to update it. The cabinet doors are wood and we were hoping to lay lino that looks like wood or ceramic tile. Do I need to remove the dining area benches? Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
We are so excited about our little Boler.

It all depends on what you want. My 1971 Boler was gutted when I put in the new flooring so it is inside the cabinets and inside the benches. Was a lot easier doing it that way with making paper templates but could do it with all the cabinets and benches in place as well.

Nice to make it your own eh.

You can do it either way. The rear benches come out by removing the screws at the top and along the strip at the bottom.

Rather than sheet flooring, many have used the strip flooring that overlaps such as Allure. Finding the smaller pieces easier to handle.
