Not too much to explain here!

Drew outlines and cut with jig-saw without guides, good enough.
Some futzing with thin supports around the base, due to the higher diamond plate strip down the middle.

More bolting to come, and hand-holds to cut out.

If I really understood this process, would have done all the demo before any of the building (just wall sheathing so far, but still).

Sunday: got the last couple of built-in shelves removed.

Used 4.5″ angle grinder with cutting disk for rivet reduction. A little bit scary with all the sparks and a full tank of gas, oh well. Here: A screw ground down until pliers could torque it.

Safety first.

Didn’t have much time today. But removed almost the last of the pre-existing shelves. I’ll reuse some of the sheeting for a metal kitchen work surface.

Also got a nice hunk of “Marmoleum” at ReStore down the street. 6’3 x 6’7, $65.

Did a few more weekend’s work on the Vehicle.

A twin passes, 2013-04-27

Last few sections of siding & insulation installed, 2013-04-27

Pulled off rear-lamp panels. Detritus had actually composted back there, soil…

And a note to fedex

A good weekend’s work wraps up.
