Days 6 & 7: The Last of the Demo and the Tarp

My Dad helped me work on the camper!  Once again he pulled out his tools!  We removed the furnace which revealed another nest!  The bunks, that someone added, came out hard as with the wall that separated the bathroom.  This revealed a soft floor and rotted wood in the walls that could be sucked out with the vacuum!  Once the rest of the ceiling was dropped we started to build a temporary support for the roof.  We cut out the new roof joists and slid them in place next to the old ones.  Then we removed the rotten ones.  Now, with the support in place, I feel a lot better knowing the first snow storm we get will not pancake my poor little camper!  We removed one of the windows that at this point was just barely attached and checked out the floor in the front.  It looks like the floor will have to be replaced down both sides and in the front and back.  The last thing we did was wrap the camper up in a very large heavy tarp to protect it from the elements as we continue to work on it.

Removing the rest of the built in around the furnace.

As we pulled out the furnace it revealed another large nest!

Dad with his tools!  Getting ready to remove the built in bunks!

No more privacy! LOL :) 

Dropping the ceiling...

An example of the rotten framing in the rear of the camper... not to bad considering its age...

The first of the windows removed!  See that pretty blue? That is what color the stripe originally was on the camper!

Covering him with the tarp!

All tucked in awaiting for another day!
