More Demo-ing

Spent a couple hours this afternoon in Lil' Chick, working on the galley's lower cabinets.  I want to get as much damaged stuff out of the trailer as possible before I take it up to Denny at Southern California Vintage Trailer Design for the electrical, propane, and water systems work.  While she's there, Denny will take a good look at her and we can start developing a plan of attack.  While I want to do a lot of the Chick's makeover myself, I fully realize my limitations!  I can do demo-ing and the "lipstick" stuff (paint, flooring, etc.), but when it comes to structural shit, I gotta leave that to the experts.  By stripping out the old linoleum at the bottom of the cabinets, the wood of the floor is exposed and will enable Denny to get a better look at its condition.

Today's work revealed some rot and a hole in the floor in the lower cabinet under the sink.  It's never a good sign when you can see daylight after you peel away layers of linoleum!



Lower shelf under the sink before today's demo-ing.....

.....and after.  Well hello, daylight!

Comparatively, the upper shelf directly under the sink is in pretty good shape:



Not too bad.
 

The cabinet under the stove shows some rot too, but no daylight (yet):



 

I figure that the entire galley cabinet unit will have to be rebuilt, but as much as I wanted to remove the stove and sink and just yank the whole thing out today, I left it in place so Denny will be able to see an accurate footprint.

Took the two cabinet doors off, cleaned up two buckets full of debris, temporarily plugged the hole in he cabinet, and I'm calling it a day!
