Off Comes the Veneer!!

October 29,  2009


I found the fastest and easiest way to remove the veneer was to grind the heads off the nails with a disk grinder, pull veneer off the walls and then to pull the nails out of the studs.


After all the veneer was removed, I took all the insulation out to reveal the wiring  and plumbing. When I reached the point of replacing the insulation I would use 3/4 " Styrofoam insulation.

As you can see from the photo below the framing and studs below the windows had a lot of water damage. As a result of the damage from leaking around the windows, which is common on these Shastas, I will need to replace any damaged wood. The vertical studs were replaced with pine and the wood framing that the studs were attached to were replaced with treated pine.

My son, Darin, who is a metal fabricator made
short work of providing me with new fenders for
the tire wells.  Thank Goodness for sons with skills!
