After the ant fiasco of day two, we went home and my in-laws fumigated the trailer to kill off the ants we hadn't flattened with a shovel. The next morning, they woke up to find a pair of birds had decided to move into the trailer.
Sunday, we came back after church to continue working on the trailer. We tore down the cabinets with a sledgehammer and began taking out the walls and the insulation (which was pitifully thin). We found more ants. We also found a very impressive leak that began raining down on us when we pulled down one of the panels on the ceiling.
One good point: most of the wooden beams that structured the walls and the roof seem to be in very good shape.
At this point, we seem to have finished most of our demolition, and we'll very soon be coming to the point where we need to start buying things with which to make it habitable again. I haven't worked since we bought the trailer, and I missed work again tonight.
Tuesday, I can't go into work (church again), but this Friday and Saturday, I'll really need to earn some money so we can start buying insulation and panelling for the interior. Until then, talk to y'all later. :)
