Day two!

Well another productive day!  

The other beds and cabinets came out relatively easily.  Still hating the fact that we have to use use a regular screw driver.  My arm is killing!

Some surprises.....  The old DuoTherm was not attached to the wall with anything but duct tape!  A couple of screws on the floor and that was it!  OUT!




Evidently at one time our bathroom was Pepto Bismal PINK!  This is what we found at the back of the closet!  I'm guessing it didn't go over so well with the hunting buddies:)!!!



The worst wall to get out was the one by the tub.  It was gunked up with centuries (okay... I exaggerate ...slightly) of caulk.  Come to find out they also used  butyl tape to fix the track in place, along with a ton of rivets.  

I still don't understand the whole closet thing.  A place for formal wear is not needed!   Planning on converting all hanging space to shelving.  I'm leaving the high heels and dresses at home!
The old pressure tank won its war.   The bolts were all spinning in the holes and I broke two dremel cut-off wheels .  As Arnold would say.... I'll be back (this time with a sawsall).  The lovely tenants left us a stash of acorns. Hope we don't find their remains in the belly pan!








To come :  Removal of the old Bowen water heater and pressure tank (anyone need parts?)  I'm going to keep the outside shroud,  if its in good shape but planing on a RV500 for replacement. From the outside it will look original.  Also the bathroom is yet to be tackled.   

But overall we've made progress!
