Thanks all. Still working on it. My proble is brute force non existing. Cannot take metal screws out of the cross beams. Likely will try a repair myself with a cobbling together of all your ideas.? It will certainly not be as good.?
Hello
Flyboy:
Nice
job, thank you for all the photographs.
Carl.
This is a photo of part of my rotten wood repair.? Before
cutting out the bad wood, I first located the metal framework
underneath.? Then basically I cut out the floor using a jig saw
in the open areas and a multi-tool cutter with metal blade when
cutting on top of any metal frame members.? It is easy to tell
when you hit metal.? After removal and cleaning things up, I
used the old wood as a template for cutting the new piece of
1/2" exterior plywood.? The new wood was put down with adhesive
on top of the metal framework, screwed, caulked and then double
plated from underneath on the joints that were NOT above a frame
member.? These were glued and screwed down from the top.? All
new/raw wood on the underside was sprayed with a rubberized
undercoating (similar product to Flex-Seal).
I plan to put together a video in the near future that shows
more of this project.? But hopefully?These photos will help.?
The photo showing me standing on the ground, through the floor,
is the right front corner.? I wanted to include it as an FYI to
show the frame members.? The arrangement is different in the
rear, but it give you an idea.
