Hi All Well yesterday we removed all furniture so we could start the clean out of the carpet underlay and baseboards.
We successfully removed all baseboards except for the very last one and managed to damage the sheet rock so we need to repair just this area. The difficulty was that all around the rooms they were double nailed and very difficult to remove while trying not to damage the sheet rock. We also have to buy some more baseboards which split while trying to prize them off. So today we are going to remove the vinyl and dishwasher and making a decision on whether or not to remove the ply under the vinyl. I also have to replace a couple of Cyprus pine boards just outside of the bathroom door where the shower leaked years ago and have wood rot in them. This will mean I have to put another bearer under the floor so I can cut off the effected ends and nail on new pieces. So it seems one job leads into another.
