Reno Updates (Days 2-6?)
I have pulled up the main damage area., which is about 4x10.
I'm working on removing the novadeck that's still stuck on the joists and the wall edges.
I had my dad who's a carpenter, come out and give me his input, which was invaluable. He said that the entire floor doesn't need to come up unless it's compromised.
I tested areas around the room and we're good. Except the humped area.
He introduced a new term to me: **kerfing**
Basically, it'll allow the area to relax on itself and lower the bump.
I am testing it in this room first. *If* it works, I'll do the rest of the floors that were affected by the leaks.
I will be laying insulation between the joists since the stuff here is practically useless.
I climbed under my house (I need a round of applause for that! I've been unrealistically afraid of getting under a mobile home since childhood!)
Anyway, belly under the bedroom looks pretty good but there are areas in need of patching.
However, someone (Yes it was a **human** with a box blade went to town under the bathroom and other bedroom!! Craziest part, they cut right next to the zipper that was in the belly wrap! 🤬🤬
So, that'll be *fun*!
Any advice? Questions?
