So I don't have much to say for this blog, but my uncle who is a electrician came over and checked out he berserkers' wiring and it doesn't look like we will have to replace any of the wires. YAY! But we are going to replace the super old lights and stuff. So hopefully We can get the lights done and the insulation and panels up next weekend.
One step closer.

OH SHIT (literally)
So we found the switch to empty the toilet, so we stuck a bucket under the pipe and pulled....There was no need for the bucket, because the toilet was so full it flooded the bucket and our driveway. Sorry drought but I'm going to waste water rinsing away "waste". So gross. I have no idea why the person before the lady we bought it from didn't decided to empty but you sir-ma'am are a asshole. It was soooooo nasty. That being said we managed to get a crowbar and wedge the toilet up from the floor and threw it out. Then I got my happy ass in there and pulled all the paneling out of the bathroom.
I am over joyed at this point because that was the end of the paneling. No more working on pulling fiberglass and paneling out. Now we need to work on the wiring. The husband and the brother-in-law are going to try to handle that in a couple of weeks (yay zombie ball is the coming weekend and ren fair the day after), and my uncle who is a electrician is going to check it out when it's done to make sure we wont burst into flames.
Then new foam insulation sheets and new paneling. Then we will work on getting the top bunk back in.
I am so unbelievably happy that the weather cooperated today and we were able to get everything pulled out. I never want to work on paneling again!
Anyways i got it all swept out and took some pictures for you guys.

Thank you trailer god
So after a crazy weekend working at Fresno's Ani-jam and taking a break on all my projects yesterday. I woke up today and noticed that the weather was on simmer instead of boiling, so I put on some boots and grab the drill. And guess what!? I was able to get another wall ripped down in the berserker. I feel so much better now that some work actually got done. Although I did get a snag in my doctor who dalek dress that I was wearing :( But I can repair that. You ready for some pictures?
My mess, paneling
that long board is the top bunk that I had to take down to get to the wall paneling.
The wall that i took the paneling out of
Right about the windows is where the top bunk attaches to
I will have to replace these boards. Since they have water damage, and seal around the windows
This is the point where I got tired
The last wall that has to come out
Ewwww, makes me glad i decided on water and mold resistant paneling, that will replace this
The big mess in the trailer, I will clean all this out once we get the last wall ripped out.
The man approves
Keep checking in for updates!

Not much, but a little
Hey there! Its been a while, I know. But the weather calmed down for a minute this weekend, and unfortunately I was dying. From some strange stomach thing, and on my fake death bed I asked my husband, "can...can you.....can you please work on the trailer?..." and then I fell asleep into a coma of pepto, advil, and zzquil. After waking on Sunday feeling slightly better, my husband had ventured out into the trailer and pulled down a wall of the paneling. And even though the trailer looks like a berseker it's self went through it, I am stoked that something got done on my baby. For almost two month I have been seeing it with a sort of sad mournful/hopeful look in my eye.
So i'm ecstatic that SOMETHING got done on it at all. So to my husband thank you and i honored him with pork chops. haha here are some picture updates :)
A la paneling.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture, i was dance around the baby man to get one.
but there it is the wall my husband took the paneling off of. (i think he left it up to me to take the insulation out.)A la paneling.
The baby man child himself, very stoked about the missing wall.

as of now
Unfortunately as of now I probably wont have any new posts on the berserker for a while. Because apparently I live in hell. And for the last few weeks and for weeks to come, the forecast is upwards of 100 degrees. And as tolerable as I am of the heat, I cannot work inside the trailer long enough in that heat to get anything done.
SO that means that i probably wont get anything done till the end of august when the weather starts cooling down.
Sorry guys, check back around the end of august for any new post :)

i just want to rip down some walls...thats all...
Everyone please join me in prayer to the TRAILER GODS that it is under 100 degrees this weekend. If the weather keeps this 105 degree crap up, it'll take us all summer to get the damn paneling down. Although being the person that I am, the husband and I did take a stroll around lowes and chose plain white paneling that is water resistant and mold resistant. And found some wallpaper online that we like and we took a look at insulation. We even saw flooring that we like. Everything is picked out. Now if the weather will just calm its s**t we might actually get something done.

hmm
Not much to report today, its slow going during the weekend when the husband is at work and we cant take turns watching the kids.But the kids went to their grandmas for the night so i had a little time this morning. I finished pulling out the paneling on the wall i had been working on. I finished after that. Apparently the wall paper they had used is made of the same shit as captain america's shield. Because it took me forever to pull it out, when the paneling with out the wallpaper was super easy.
Pictures and updates on Saturday. :)
