De-Construction 6 (Bathroom)

All the cabinets have been removed from the bathroom.

The toilet and tub are gone too.

It helps to come back at things when you have a fresh burst of energy.

The tub in all its glory ...

outside sitting on the grass.

Maybe my neighbor would like to put it in his bathroom.

It is bigger than the one he has ...

 There's the bathroom with no bathtub.
Notice all the rot damage to the floor and walls.

The top bunk is gone ... now for the bottom bunk.

You can see the damage in the corner ...

With the bottom bunk gone ...

there is the heater and the fresh water tank.

Perhaps I will get them out tomorrow.

De-construction 2

The stove used to be in here.

I just disconnected the gas line and removed 4 screws

and it came right out.

There it is ...

No more kitchen sink, no stove, no cabinet.

I'll have to replace the cabinet top, but everything else was usable.

Obviously you are looking at the gas line and the plumbing.

And a water-damaged wall and damaged floor.

This was the crank that elevated the TV antenna.

Water came down that and damaged the ceiling panel.

No, it won't do me any good to save the antenna.

What you see here is after I removed the bottom-half of the 

air conditioner unit.  Now I need to go up on the roof

and remove the top-half.  My neighbor wants to buy it from me.

Next up will be the refrigerator ...

Deconstruction 1

All the drawers and doors are out.

The dinette set is out.  The front couch/bed is out.

I can see all the plumbing.

I've taken out all the screws in the overhead cabinets ...

and can't get them off the walls.

There must be screws coming into them from the ceiling  or sidewalls.

I found 4 screws coming into the TV stand unit, that were screwed into it from the sidewall.  Which tells me that the last thing they put on the trailer was the external metal layer.  It just makes it more challenging to save as much of the interior as I can so I don't have to buy more stuff when I build the tiny house. 

Waste not, want not.

(and save my pennies too)

And then there are these specialized wires.

It would be nice to re-use this unit.

And maybe some of all those other wires ...

I just have to expose them, trace then down,

photo-document them, and plan ahead for the future.
