I have recently begun to renovate a 1986 Mobile home with a number of "issues". The most vexing at present is a cat urine problem that has swelled the subfloor under the oil furnace. Would someone be kind enough to explain to me what I will need to do in order to replace the floor under the furnace?

I have begun to replace a large portion of the subfloor. When I cut the old floor away and realised the damage extended under the furnace I decided to wait for milder weather to disable the furnace. I am now at a loss as to how to lift or remove the furnace in order to complete the work under it.

Thank you in advance for your help.
