pix 3 &4: These are a representative sample.  I have mmore but will only bore you with them on request.  

Thanks to Steve and Joel for help getting pictures to post.

Steve Huber:
Keith,
Nice job on the re-flooring too. How did you deal with the metal plate that covered the step closeout, since, if like my 01 Contessa, it sits on the sub-floor and is about .25" thick with a port to access the closeout air valve.
Thx, Steve

Sorry about photo problems.  When it is confusing, you can email the photos to me and I can resize them and post them for you.
You want the file size to be as small as possible since you are limited to 1mg per post.

Thanks for the kudos.
The flooring needed to match the existing galley flooring, for height, so as it happened the extra subfloor needed matched the metal panel exactly.  On mine the close-out valve is accessible from below, as my genset is in the rear, so there is no access panel from above.
Werre I to do it again, I wouldn't use laminate, as it moves too much with changes in humidity.  Here in BC, at the moment, the outdoor humidity is in the 80 to 90% range and teh laminate is buckling slightly where it isn't constrained by fastenings.  This happened last year at this time, and went away as soon as we headed south for the desert.  The galley hardwood chages with humidity too, but only so much as to crack the varnish at the joints, which, although irritating, leads to a refinished look every couple of years.
