view1 - view of all damaged wall/floor with floor removed
view2 - close up where wall meets floor
view3 - wall with some drywall removed
view4 - piece of drywall swung out from wall. clean except for what looks like powdery white deposits running horizontal and vertical. they don't line up with the pipes or anything - maybe it's drywall material coming thru?
view5 - close up of view4
view6 - piece of drywall near floor - outside
view7 - same piece - inside

Looks like a reall mess!
You might consider washing the studs with a bleach solution when you get
them exposed then treating them with boric acid to help prevent rot.
I know the bleach works, the other is just somehting that I read... might be
worth a dry.
Luckily drywall is pretty easy to replace as long as your structure is
sound.

Thanks, Kate! Yes, it's a mess all right, but up close and personal it looks worse than it really is. I'll take your advice on the bleach and hose it down good and scrub where I can get to. I'll check out the boric acid too. Maybe a coat or two of shellac might be good too, since the wall and floor are open. I guess if I had been behind the kitchen counter for 45 years I'd probably look like this too! :OD
