The Renovation Part 2
Now that we have our plan, its time to remove everything... There was quite a bit of dust and dirt under all these parts so now was a good time to give them a clean out before we start boarding over them with new timber. Lucky Kate's dad has a lot of timber on hand so this wasn't so difficult to get a hold of. We had Kate's brother Matus make us some new shelves to go under the seating area to separate things as well as remake the top of the seating area to handle our weight and adjust the hinges to the back of the seating area - where as before the hinges were in the middle which made putting larger items in there difficult. There was also a few cracks in the door panels and screw holes from everything we removed around the place which had to be filled with wood filler putty and sanded over to be smooth before painting. You don't need to be so worried about mess at this stage you can use what you need to fill in the gaps and sand it ...
