When taking out live trees, yes you will get more sunlight to dry out immediately, however you have lost a major water uptake system in your yard. Make sure you replace with plants that will take up as much water as what your land has lost.

Pretty sure they're ants. Winged termites look like a pill capsule with wings, winged ants have a not quite hour glassy shape (pinch in the middle due to 'separate' abdomen). It's hard to tell for sure with YT compression.

I have alot to do today. *Jenna Phipps video notification* I can spare half an hour.

The state of this poor house before you bought it is an excellent reminder that people should be aware that a time comes when their property is just too much for them, which looks like maybe 30 years ago for the previous owners. It's only because the house was originally so well built that it survived so much neglect.
