It's amazing how much better it looks with just the new plywood down for the floor. No more holes to worry about falling through!
Now to get the wall paneling down and old fluffy insulation pulled out and see how bad the damage is. I was expecting to rebuild some sections, around the roof vents, and windows for sure. Once I got all the paneling down and the terrible itchy insulation out things were starting to look pretty good!
Fiberglass insulation drives me crazy! It was so hot but I was covered as best as I could be to keep from getting all itchy. I didn't want to breath in all the dust and whatever else I might find so the goggles and mask were a must.
This corner is where a shower used to be... MAJOR water issues here! I don't know how the back end didn't just fall off. As I was taking out the paneling there was a nice section of plywood over the back corner, I considered leaving it up because the plywood looked fine. I am so glad I took it off.
Its hard to see in this picture- this is the front end, passenger side. When I pulled back that lower board on the front there was a giant honeycomb. No honey, just the wax. Apparently it was a good place for a beehive at some point.
The roof supports around the vents were failing. I was worried the whole roof would come falling down before I could get it repaired, we were forecasted to have some wind and rain. I used some scrap and some quick grip clamps to try and hold the roof up.

The kiddos are getting pretty good about playing in the front yard. I have been trying to get as much work done while they are napping or in bed for the night but little sister woke up early. They enjoyed a picnic snack and played for a little bit in the shade.
