Got the fiberglass tub out finally. Had to invent a few new words today as my usual goto words when things are not going well don't get used in front of my 4 year old. He happily asked a lot of questions while I worked away. Will add some pics tomorrow.
Plan is to support the aluminum shell in the air and then drop the floor out. I was hoping to do this in my garage with the shell hung from the rafters but I do not think it will fit through the door. I figure if there is some rot, might as well be a lot of rot. Easier to remove with the shop vac! There are thankfully enough pieces of the corner wood to trace the curves again.
Am contemplating replacing the "L" brackets with aluminum ones. They are still solid but rusty and I might as well while it is opened up.
Anyone know if they used open or closed cell foam back in the day? I am still surprised there is so much water in it.
