On Sunday when we got home with our new home on wheels we jumped right in and started working. Dusty pulled the back panel off and started to rebuild. I ran around fetching babies and feeding kiddos. In the time he tore the back panel off, reinforced the floor frame at the back, rebuilt the side walls with lots of little tiny, precisely cut pieces of wood, installed what will be the bed in the back, and cut down 2x4's for reinforcing studs, I removed the screws around the sink and took down 2 light fixtures. I was attempting to remove the sink, unfortunately I couldn't get the drain un-screwed, I attempted to pull the ice box and the stove out but couldn't figure out how they were held in place. Basically, I just tried to stay out of Dusty's way and bring him drinks as necessary.

During the hubbub, Radlee was playing around inside the trailer, there is no front on it leading to the tongue, he tripped and fell out of the trailer, landing face first on the tongue, cutting his ear on the way down. He almost had a full piercing, as it practically cut through his earlobe. There were major tears and discussion of an emergency room trip but after getting him cleaned up it was obvious that, while deep, stitches were unnecessary. We can now consider the glamper christened, and hope that this is the only injury she is held accountable for during her makeover.

...and post injury, it is amazing what a Cars bandaid will do! Once Roo was properly settled down and Grayson was doting on him nicely I got back to looking busy and planning for the interior. Here is what her insides look like now:
