This part was my idea, by the way, instead of taking out that whole section of floor we will first try to scrape the bottom layer of wood off and lift that section enough to slide in a new piece of wood, and that would be that for the floor. You see the top part of that section of floor is the storage area and only the corners of the front were damp but didn't seem rotten, they only needed to dry out.
Anyhow, back to the scraping. I started off laying on a creeper and using a scraper, which went really well, the wood was coming off in large sheets, at first. Then i attempted to roll further under the bunk and OH MY GOD! My hair rolled right under one of the wheels and I started screaming.
So i calmly grabbed my hair that was stuck and while loudly whimpering, rolled off the creeper until my hair was unstuck. Now at this point a normal person would go into the house and put their hair up, well, not me. I figured i could gather it up and lay on it so that it wouldn't get loose again. Well about 5 minutes later the screaming started again and i became angry at my stupidity and finally went into the house and put it all up into a large bun at the very top of my head, not to be taken down again!
Lesson Learned!
Oh and i am sure most of you are wondering how the scraping went. It progressed nicely after that. I took a break and went back to it later in the day. It only took 1 hour and 45 minutes to completely get all the wood off the foam, all of course except the parts that sit under the walls.
This is the underneath of the camper bunk section, mostly scraped.
Notice there is no wood on the bottom of the foam. :)
