This little gem was found in the trailer about 6 inches by 3...small enough to fit in the tiny freezer compartment of the frig. Unfortunately, there are holes in the tray. Instead of throwing it away it will be used as a Christmas tree ornament on our 2007 Christmas tree this year.
A better shot of the inside from the window...cabinets still intact, but not for long. From left to right, the frig on top, then a cabinet, and a cubby. Next to that is a closet and next to that is the restroom.
The original metal step had to be removed before the trailer was moved to our house, as it was just dangling. So, basically we had been pulling ourselves up into, and jumping out of, the trailer since...until there was a suggestion to make a wooden step. What a difference! Cliff will manufacture a new metal step later in the restoring process. Oh yes, the stack jacks now keep the trailer from teetering back and forth when walking inside!
All the copper tubing (used for water lines and gas lines) must go...some of it had weak spots and some of it had actually burst. Cliff is scrunching it up and throwing it in his copper barrel to redeem.
I have posted a picture of the throne before, but it was covered in junk. We think we are going to be able to salvage the stove/oven, the refrigerator (where we thought not, early into the game, but hopefully we'll just have to replace some parts instead of trashing the whole thing), sink and the toilet/shower. The bathroom walls will have to be replaced, though. Everything is so gross right now, but with a lot of soap/bleach, and a little elbow grease, they'll be like new.
We will not be able to salvage any of the inside walls and so the demolition begins. This is where the bed was and will be, but for now, it's the best location for the trash pile. Cliff will be taking the cabinets out soon, but before he does, he will have to shore up the walls on the inside with 2X4's as the cabinets are holding the outside skin in place. We are only two weeks today, into restoration.
After bleaching and then removing the frig, Cliff washed and washed the thing only to discover that it was too damaged to salvage it. Just as well, as the stench is in the plastic even after bleaching. 
Here is the real story...we will have to remove all the interior walls because of dry rot and wiring issues, which also means that we will most likely replace not only framing and wire, but also insulation. This photo shows the outer skin exposed from the inside.
Cliff determined to continue his gutting process works through the dark with just a flashlight tucked under his arm. He took the stove out, some of the gas lights down, and bleached the refrigerator (before he attempts to remove it). Tonight while taking air vents off the outside of the trailer, Cliff found a pigeon nest...I'll take photos tomorrow in the daylight. So, day 3 (after a full days work repairing dairy equipment) proves to be very productive.
