Doesn't look a terribly hard job at least. The new OSB they are selling at the big stores is made with a polymer based bonding agent. Old OSB was just glued together. Water has almost no effect on the new stuff.

:werd: I built my deer stand 3 years ago using OSB. I used 3/4 inch rated for subfloors as the floor. It has been exposed to the weather because I have window openings in the walls, but no actual windows. And it has surprisingly held up quite well. I used that stuff because it was $20 for a 4x8 sheet, and 3/4 inch plywood was nearly $40 a sheet.

Got all of the bad wood out except for the wall plate,can't remove it so I'm gonna let it dry for a week or so before installing the new 2x2 supports & plywood floor.The black tar paper is the underside of the trailer,it's actually a woven fiber and pretty strong.

If you put a small fan in there it might dry faster to where you can get it done in a timely manner.

Thought about that but there's no 120v nearby.When I run a vacuum or charge the cordless batteries I fire up the generator...

Gonna be hot for the next few days so I'm hoping it will dry quickly

Is that the tar paper that we are looking at or the top of the sewer tank?

That's the tar paper,the ''black'' tank is directly under it.The ''gray'' tank is under where I'm standing.They're both between the main steel beams.
