Making Patterns
I got started on this by making pretty accurate patterns using poster board. When actually cutting the pad you have to pay attention to material thickness where some areas meet and allow for deductions. I found it was easier to cut large pieces of paper without trying to get close to the edges, and then fill in and tape pieces to the edges to get accurate patterns. I am also saving the patterns for the carpet. It took about four hours to make the patterns.
I must say this process made me envious of kits that come with a quality complete carpet sets, but I'm guessing you would have to have specific thickness of insulation to make the carpet fit correctly.
I will add pad to the bottom metal floor.
