Removing Subfloor, Insulation, and Prepping for Paint

We are now at the point of removing the OSB subfloor and seeing what is left to deal with under the subfloor.  After examining it closely we noticed that it was all one sheet of subfloor.  The subfloor was also screwed down.  To proceed with removing it, we took out the screws in sections then used the awesome sawzall to cut out the sections.  This took a couple of days considering we work in the evenings when my husband gets home. 

Next, after removing the subfloor were 3 large tanks that were also bolted in, another layer of insulation that was attached to the aluminum flashing, wiring, duct work, the potty, and plastic piping.
The tedious chore of removing old glue and OSB.

The hard yellow insulation that took a few days to remove
We did lots of work with the hammer and putty knives for the next few days.  We had a lot of blown in insulation around the frame that needed to be removed so we could brush away any rust to prep for painting. 

After much perseverance we finally got down to clean rails!!! 




 












We are currently prepping by sections and painting.  We are really hoping to have it painted and ready for frame building by the weekend.  Hopefully, there will also be some exciting news after Thursday and will update soon!
