Thanks for the pics.

Was the wood difficult to remove? Probably not because it looks like you removed it in sections. I would try to keep it intack (one piece) when I remove it so that I can use it for a template for the replacement wood.

I do like how nice the bed coating looks sprayed all over the floors. That baby is sealed up. You should be good with preserving rusy for the next 60 yrs... ha ha
