And there goes the skins...

Steve was dreading it, oh he did everything he could not to tackle removing the skins. He built the kitchen cabinet (which we can't use because we got a bigger fridge)

But I finally said "I'ts time!" It was a little scary... we are still hoping that we didn't screw this thing up by removing the trim and the aluminum. But once we got it all off we were happy we did. She was really, really rotten underneath.Here is the beautiful before:

Here is the attempt to get the trim off without bending the pieces. I really hope that we can reuse this stuff...

And here is the after... They call this stuff insulation???

As you can see there is plenty of wood rot everywhere. We are really glad we didn't just cover it up, there is no telling how long it would have lasted in that condition.

So as you can see... we have alot of work to do now... We have 2 days of work coming up this weekend and I can't wait. I am hoping to show down to the frame and it painted this weekend! Hey, a girls gotta have her goals right?
