Do you have to remove the stuff below gutter line to get the top off?

yes, all out
You're right it's being shelled, then binned............
Sold the roof, and most of the units
Started today, and found the sink welded to the security grill over the window
Oven welded to body
God knows what's behind the fridge?
Also found long range fuel tank between outriggers underneath. Ho Hum
