We rented a 40 foot extension ladder and Nora's tree service went to work. We sawed and lopped off all of the tree limbs that were hanging on to the back corner of the house. While we had the ladder up on the back of the house we put down some plastic over the sleeping porch roof to stop the rain from getting in.

It rained both days this weekend and we did a lot of work inside the house. The carpet on the stairs was removed along with the nasty dirt and odor it was holding. Major amounts of wallpaper throughout the house and the remaing kitchen cabinents, sink, and flooring were removed. The downstairs toilet was also trashed.
Speaking of trash...we're making the local trash collectors earn their paychecks. We put out 18 bags of trash and some carpet to be picked up on Monday. So far they've picked up everything we've put out for them.
