Thanks, GZ, I really appreciate the reply.
The prior owner had put some rubber shelf/no slide padding on the top deck and covered everything up. I pulled it back a little and didn't see any obvious nails, so I was a little hesitant to start pulling things apart for fear of breaking something.
It looks like the finished board on the front of the bunk is just nailed on but has no structural function. I plan on using it to finish off the shelf. Since it has enough length extend from the front wall to just past the wall for the head, I thought put it over the gap in the trim so I don't have to replace it.
I was thinking of cutting the top and bottom decking in place and removing the framing for the part of the bunk I want to remove while leaving the part I want for the shelf in place, then finishing off the hole. Is that something that will work?
I'll try to post some progress pictures after I get everything done.
I also plan on installing a very tiny sink in the head using a large SS funnel, some acrylic plastic for a counter top, plastic tubing for a drain to the floor, and a slatted wood shower floor to conceal the tubing. This should give us a place to wash our hands and brush teeth away from the food preparation area.
Lots to do before draining the pinks stuff.
