Someday we will be drinking a beer around a campfire at a National Park and I will say to Tim, “Remember that time you pulled the subfloor out from the C-channel area under the door to Alice?” And Tim will reply, “And the entire shell shifted about 2 inches and I thought it was going to fall and […]

We started our day of work where we left off yesterday. I continued removing screws in the middle of the subfloor and Tim worked on removing bolt, screws and subfloor from the C-channel. Patrick stopped swimming long enough to check on our progress. Once we finished the kitchen section, we moved on to the subfloor in […]

After getting the first two tanks uncovered, there was still one tank left to expose. But before we exposed that tank, Tim had to clear out the remaining piece of subfloor between the C-channel. The multi-tool didn’t cut it… literally. So Tim pulled out the big guns, our Ryobi angle grinder. The angle grinder is […]

The middle section sub floor was the easiest area to remove. Without the curve of the end-caps to deal with, and about a 3rd of the amount of bolts to cut through, it was, by far, the easiest section. Since we didn’t have to preserve any of the floor like withe end-caps, I could simply […]

We are excited to announce Townsourced! 3 months ago Tim left the company he has worked at for almost 11 years. He left because he had an idea for a website that we both thought could have a positive impact in our communities. We have worked on this website together for the past year over […]

We are still struggling with major leaks around the door so @tim.m.shannon decided to take it apart […]

We have a leaky door problem. This is how bad the door was leaking when we got Alice. You can read more details about this video from the blog post it was originally posted too. To fix that leak we scraped the original gasket off and then we replaced it with a new gasket and we […]

This is how we kept the subfloor end cap curve intact. Well, mostly intact. Our goal was to preserve the curve so we could use it as a template. In just the small area of subfloor removal we had done so far we had yet to find a really great way to get the floors […]

The percentage of screws and bolts that come out cleanly within the c-channel is about half of what it was with the screw removal in the subfloor. Just like with the subfloor screw removal, we tried to get as many screws out as possible with the drill. The bolts were so rusted to the nuts […]

This is an over due post about what has been working for us and what hasn’t. First of all, I have to admit, I didn’t think ripping up the subfloor would be that hard. I thought the worst part of it would be the unveiling of more dead mice, mice nests and mice poop. I had […]
