Today ended with a small step towards my little Scotty being rebuilt. With the gaucho frame out of the way and the old vinyl flooring removed, I had to remove the paper backing that was left over from the flooring. I found some wallpaper remover in a cabinet and mixed it with some water. It worked great softening up the adhesive from the vinyl flooring so I could scrape it all off. I was left with the plywood floor. I let it dry all day and then sanded it to smooth it out. Then I ended the day by painting a coat of Kilz on the area. Tomorrow, I can actually put some vinyl tiles down--closest thing I've gotten to actually REBUILDING the Scotty!!
I have to keep my sights on the finished product.....
