Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

Well a couple days ago I started washing the bed real good to do the bed liner....
Plan was to spray it this morning...
Then Mom called...
"Your Dad is trying to move the refrigerator and he cant..can you come help him.."
So I ride over there this morning about 9..
The reason he cant move it is that it fell thru the floor..
Yep that's right..
7 hrs later I have half their kitchen torn apart...the ice maker had been leaking for who knows how long..
The whole sub floor is rotted out..I've torn it out till theres nothing but the floor joists showing..that meant destroying their cabinets which had been built in place some 40yrs ago...
The plywood and press board would just crumble in your hand...
Had no clue it was this bad till I tore into it....
Now that it's gone this far I'm looking at repairing all this damage, probably pulling up the rest of the kitchen flooring, cause new will never match the old..painting all the walls..rebuilding cabinets...etc etc etc
Why can't anything ever be simple...
