There is now no doubt in my mind that this is a massive project, far exceeding my initial expectations. I knew the floor was a bit soft but after pulling the carpet up I knew I was in trouble. The hammer went right through the floor, in some pictures you can see the aluminum bottom through the floor. The middle jack is rotten...scary stuff indeed. The panels on the outside were not pulled away by me, but separated on the drive home. I may have bitten off more than I can chew here but I figure I might as well tear into it and give it a go. I appreciate the words of encouragement
