May 18 and onward--Demo Days

These are "Trailer crews"

 Trailer Screws are what holds 99.9% of this thing together.  They are almost all either stripped out, or rusted into the things they are attaching, so many are just going to fall to the Hammer! Demolition involves a lot of stress release through smashing and whacking with an eight pound hatchet thing I found.  The perfect tool!  Plus a flat prybar thingy and a good sturdy claw hammer.

Kitchen corner.

Lovely bathtub.

Main bedroom closet frame for metal louvered folding doors, doors all rusty.

Behind this split paneling is the electric box.

Got to love that linoleum!

Vent hole for stove hood, construction of the "wall cabinets"

More sticks and masonite

Wacking satisfaction.

These cabinets were made of sticks and masonite.  Yuck!  I guess they needed lightweight for a mobile home. The oh-so-attractive green and white wall stuff is more wallpaper, on top of the original not so bad soft green and white marbly marlite. It's all going! 

There was a countertop stovetop, this paneling is the whole wall between kitchen and closet.  I'll be replacing this. The black pipe is the drain vent, replacing that with a smaller one under the sink so there is room for the new gas range.

Countertop, sink and cabinets out.

A little mold--respirator time! This wraparound is made of marlite--which is masonite coated in a white plastic, then wallpapered with green leafy vinyl wallpaper.  The new one will be a fiberglass tub with built in wraparound. no seams.

Bedroom wall not so good. The window is broken, letting rain and snow in for who knows how long.

Kitchen almost done--just need to figure out how to remove the oven.
