Restoration in Progress

Henry and I continue to work on the Globetrotter. The worst problem we've encountered is the pest infestion. We've cleaned poop and nests from cabinets, ,oven, refrig, wheelwells, and even under the old tile. So far we've not found anywhere that the mice didn't visit first. Henry pulled off the air conditioner unit and even in that the mice had chewed up insulation and left a trail.




During the past month, we've managed to remove the couch frames, the stove unit, the refrigerator and the heater. The cabinets above the couches and the kitchen unit have been removed. I'm afraid the applicance will need replaced and I don't know where we'll find those units, but I'm sure it's just a matter of location and dollares.




Yesterday the kitchen cabinets were removed. The floor has been scraped and the plywood seems intact. As we work our way to the rear of the unit, the closets will be removed next and then, the bathroom!




It seems like it's taking a long time but with the amount of damage, it seems we can only work in short bursts of efforts. I'm hopeful that the inside is gutted by the end of the month but the going is pretty slow.
