Floor is Removed! January 6, 2019

New year, new trailer? It's actually still feeling pretty old at this point--and I still ask myself if it might not be better to just set it on the curb with a "free" sign, but not yet...

This week we cut out all the floor that needs replacing. My pal Fernando lent some muscle and know-how, which was essential for this two-person task (Thank you!). The real trouble is that the subfloor extends all the way to the very edge of the trailer, meaning that it is sandwiched between the walls and base of the trailer frame. So, how will we get the new piece back in that sandwich? I don't know the answer to that yet, but am doing some research. 
Ready for action! Saws are so loud . . .
Starting to cut away the rotten flooring;
One of my tasks was to use a chisel to remove all the floor board that remained glued to the beams. A long process, but somewhat meditative actually.
The challenge is not to step through the trailer fabric that we're exposing.
All in all, we removed 60% of the floor. Now all the old insulation is gone, and all the beams are clean, ready for what's next.
We had to remove one section in the rear as well.
