Diggin in!

Today's project: The back wall

There were a couple of soft spots in the wall and I wanted to make sure that there were no rotted/moldy spots.  So this morning, I started the peel away process.

 Gloves, check.  Homemade anti mold/disease mask, check.  I've got my towel laid down, box cutter and plastic trash bag.  All suited up and ready to go!

Let the peeling being!

As I dug deeper in, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the damage wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be.  The wood on each side of the window is still solid.  Definitely going to have to replace the wood below the window and probably the top piece too.  I'm not sure if it would be easier to cut around the good wood or to just replace the whole panel.

In the process of all this, I took a flashlight to the storage cabinets overhead ... looks like they are going to need some attention as well.

I'm thinkin I'm going to focus on one part at a time, trying to not get over whelmed with just the bit of work I did this morning.

I haven't peeled or cut any further than what is shown in the pictures.  Feeling in a bit over my head and I stopped to check out the interwebs for 'how to' advice.  Slightly frustrated with the current selection of help videos available.  Haven't found one that has actually shown/explained the process of replacing a water damaged wall from the inside of an RV.

Going to make a run to the store for some J-B Clearweld, come back wash Winnie and make sure all of her holes are completely sealed.  Just in case the rain moves in.
