[VAC] Water stained subfloor

["Pete Ryner" <pryner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeanne,
Can't answer all of your questions, but the floor definitely goes beyond the
inner wall and terminates at the outer skin.  The outer skin wraps around
the floor and forms a channel that the wood fits into.  Unless it is
terribly rotted, I would not replace it.  The best thing I have found to
repair the floor is penetrating epoxy.  It penetrates the wood and makes it
waterproof, hard, and a great base to put new carpet or other flooring
materials over.  I can provide a internet source for the epoxy if you can't
find a local supplier, no financial interest etc.  Please contact me off the
list.  I haven't tried Git Rot but is sounds like a similar product.  My '68
floor is not nailed down, but is bolted to the frame with carraige bolts.
Really can't say what is below your '71 couch area as I have no experience
with that model.  BTW, I LOVE vulkem for sealing any opening in the
exterior - personal opinion.
Good Luck
Pete
