In the end I made a good repair but for all the work I would have been better to have just scrapped the whole thing. I would be willing to bet the rotten floor extends under the wall, in which case it is not worth making it all right. You might be better off cutting to the edge of the cabinets and replacing just what is bad that you are standing on and forgetting about the rest. IMO it is on borrowed time. Probably not what you wanted to hear. --- End quote --- I fully agree with this for all the repairs I have done for people on the three I worked on... They are rot boxes... If it got to where you noticed the floor is soft... It's way worse then you think... I told the people that before tearing in beacause my experience scraping I've tore down many... |

The cabinets appear to be a two piece set... Stove side one piece... Sink side one piece... They screw to the wall in the backing... The floor along the edges... And each other where they meat... Pull the doors off so you don't break them or the hinges... Then get a flashlight and find out what bit you need and crawl around with some knee pads and reach through the openings... If you leave the counter top on you can't get them out the door so there's that to think about... Unless your door is wide enough with a good angle... One of my least favorite things to work on... Trailers... |

I have used galvanized sheet metal in the past to cover up areas of rot. Important part is to stop the leak and rot from expanding and screw the sheet metal to the joists under the plywood. In your case you may be able to slide a piece under the cabinets without fully removing them. |

Also thinking 1/8 aluminum plate so wont rust, then covering metal and remaining linoleum with LVP. The toy hauler has been around awhile, so just trying to make it useable a few more years,,,,,dont need to be fancy, just dont want to punch a foot thru the bottom. |
