I don't think I would tear the whole house down, but you definitely need a floor of some type for predator-proofing. The "yard' seems rather useless if they are going to free range and possibly not worth fixing. The best wire for keeping out predators is hardware cloth or the similar 1"x1/2" screen. Could you post pictures of the inside? It sounds like a fun project and need not be very expensive.
