Oh Lord...I am in deep

After exposing all of the framing and seeing where it needs repair,
I needed to decide where to start.

Quite overwhelming for sure :)
What I am trying to remember is the mantra I have learned:

"One section at a time"-

so as not to let that overwhelming feeling turn me off from the fun of this project.

Sooo, since the front area of flooring/sub floor needs replacement,
I have decided to start there.

To remove and reinstall new subfloor-

I need to take everything out of the trailer in the front

and open it all up.

First, I removed both of the dinette bench seat frames-

not too tough, just patience to get all the screws and nails out.
One holds the old water tank- I will need some help getting that out!

Next, I needed to get the framing off of the front of the trailer.

First, I had to cut away the curbing along the edges with a reciprocating saw-

it was tough because it is firmly attached with nails and I think glue!

It's definitely in need of replacment- at least the bottom half.

Then I cut the horizontal framing off across the front.

(not too tough)

and removed the front window frame. It's in pretty good shape-

so I did not want to just rip it out.

and I got it out in one piece!

Finally, I got to rip off the front paneling....which is ruined and will be replaced.

And just like that, my lovely little trailer now looks like

a falling down piece of ____.

I am in deep now my friends. Oh boy :)
